While I don't think the video games played need to be "violent", I do think they are effective in keeping the mind sharp.

I'm a big gamer, and my daughter has been playing games since she could hold a controller. At age 9 she was evaluated as 'gifted' and is way ahead of her peers. Was it video games that made her smart? No, I think other factors in her life contributed the most. However, I do think the games she plays keep her mind active & help her problem solvi...

I just took a break from playing this very game to come and catch up on some news. Great game, and that is a great price.

An announcement of an announcement!

Getting a little tired of these. Would like to see some actual announcements/news.

May 23rd is a Sunday... seems like an odd day for a video game release, doesn't it??

Rune Factory is easily my favorite wii game to date. It's a perfect balance of farming/crafting AND fighting/leveling.

I think it is THE most underated game for the system.

Can't wait to waste hundreds of hours with this one. Love the Civ games. :)

I've actually been avoiding news stories for this game for months now because I know I'm getting the game day-one and I feel like I've already had too much of it 'spoiled' already.

I'll pass on the demo as well, just release the game already!

Great deal! I picked up Armored Princess over the holidays for cheap, loved it, and now I get to grab Legend for equally as cheap. Awesome :)

The only mission I'd really like to re-play is the flying one since I missed the 'fly swatter' trophy.

I've been sidetracked by some other games, but this is a great reason to go back for some more Demon's Souls. :)

I played the 7-day trial last month and was not impressed enough to continue playing. Then they offered guaranteed beta for 'Secret World' with subscription... I was tempted but still passed. And now this.

Even with this offer, I doubt I'd play. Even though I *want* to like it, it just doesn't seem to be my kind of game.

"Tiger Woods Escalade driving mini-games not included..."

Comedy gold :)

Take out Silent Hill and replace it with Mortal Kombat.

Silent Hill was a great movie.

I find it odd that this site used an AC2 picture when it is not one of the games they predict as being a 'big hit' this week...

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking the lip-synching was a bit off... ;)

Geeze, everyone thinks they are SO clever. I hate April Fool's day. This morning my daughter replaced our sugar with salt. Ever have a heaping spoonful of salt in your coffee? I was not amused...

I bought the PS2 version this past Boxing Day at Walmart new for $9.98... and I still haven't opened it from it's original plastic wrap. I really need to sit down and play the darn thing.

I bought Lost Odyssey a few months ago actually, only because it was at an insanely low price & I like RPGs (I didn't have a 360 when it originally came out). I gotta say I have been impressed by it so far. Great story, nice battle system, pretty graphics, and the characters are well developed. Definitely one of my favorite 360 games.

None of those features appeal to me personally, but I can see how they could appeal to others. Oh, and my PS3 plays all my PS1 and PS2 games so I was able to get rid of those 2 systems. My DS lite plays all my GB and DS games so I was able to get rid of a couple GBs. I just recently bought an xbox 360 so BC wasn't really an issue (didn't have any older games) but I do still buy a few xbox originals that are supported.

So yes, I get rid of the clutter as soon as a new system co...
