I got a Wii simply because Twilight Princess was a launch title, and it was such a great game.
Blame Sega, they didn't want to invest in Bayonetta 2. Platinum Games obviously wanted to make this sequel, and Nintendo gave them the opportunity.
I'm interested in seeing in how Platinum is going to get people up to speed with what happened in the original (even though the story is nonsensical). While it is disappointing it is not going to be on the PS3/360, it is nice to see Nintendo working with 3rd party devs to get exclusives.
But it is even a better a deal when you buy a game, like Gravity Rush.
Looks like a fun game.
Post-apocalyptic is really nice. It offers a lot in terms of creativity from the creators. Plus, I like to think I'm preparing for the real apocalypse.
The general consensus is that it is a part of Transformers cannon. There are some conflicting things here and there, but it does a really great job setting the 1980s series up.
I really need to get this game soon.
Admit it, a pooping simulator would be awesome.
Very good list. I would add Tenchu and Dino Crisis to mix as well.
It comes down to price. Not many people can afford to spend the initial $60 for a game they don't feel will give them the most bang for their buck.
You can what for a price drop, yes, but how many times have you forgotten about a game while waiting for a price drop? I have done it multiple times, you wait for the price to lower and then another game comes out that catches your attention.
But I agree, there are plenty of great 'middle ground' game...
Gaming has always just been a hobby really. I have used it to escape from what is going on from time-to-time, but mainly it's to have fun.

Consumerism is not just an American concept. You will find people all over the world that have to have the newest and hottest product. Consumerism is a global phenomenon.
I can guarantee that there are Europeans that just buy European products, and there are Japanese that just buy Japanese products, just like how there are Americans that just buy American products. Once again, what you said can be applied globally.
Personally, I think ...
No one wants to buy junk, it's just that not everyone can afford to pay for the high grade stuff. Electronics are a luxury, and in this economy people don't have the disposable income to buy high quality products all the time, it's econ 101.
And I'm sure that there are people in Europe and Japan that cannot afford to pay for Sony products for a few years after they launch.
I don't get how anyone can argue against the facts the author provided. I mean I am a huge Sony fan myself, and I would be devastated if they went under. I'm just not going to let my inner fanboy ignore the hardcore facts that are presented and proclaim her as a hater.
Sony needs to take a long look in the mirror. Can they really afford to be the Rolls-Royce of the electronic industry? No one can argue against the fact that Sony makes high quality products, but they are so damn expensive.
It's going to be tough, and unless the economy turns around quickly, the engineers need to swallow their pride for the best of the company. Hopefully Kaz Hirai will prove to be a stronger leader than Sir Howard Stringer.
The Legend of Zelda is one of the few franchises that has been consistently great. Ever heard of if it's not broke, don't fix it? Nintendo adds tweeks here and there to tighten up the experience, and every time it never fails to satisfy.
Honestly, I don't know what the author wants from the series. The dungeons in Zelda all always the best in gaming. And why do you need voice acting? Miyamoto said that Link represents you, and if their is voice acting it will brea...
I don't know what Western games you have been playing. Bioshock, Deus Ex, Assassin's Creed, Batman: Arkham City, all those games go against what you said.
The point is, you can't lump every Western games as, FPS, drab brown, glitch fest.
It's just like when someone says every Japanese game is emo, fan service crazy, and makes no sense. It's just not true.
Look at G4 throwing words like "adult" and "mature" around while dissing Nintendo. The irony kills.
I was cautiously optimistic when Atlus first announce Persona 4 Arena, and I'm so glade it delivered.
I hope that more people pick this game up, and I hope the community sticks around with it.
