Hell to the yeah. Blades of Steel is one of the only sports games to hook me.

Totally agree on the EA thing. Warner seems to be doing a much better job of getting Lollipop Chainsaw out there. I feel like Atlus would be a good match for Grasshopper.

I think the gameplay is fine, besides the enemy AI being a little too sensitive and first person mode breaking the Ocelot fight. My problems were with the cutscenes. But that wasn't SK. Those were directed by the guy that did the cutscenes for Devil May Cry 3. And the Japanese movie Versus, if memory serves.

This game is almost enough to make me buy a 3DS. I really don't see why it couldn't have been made for the DS though. Oh wait...piracy.

When we talked Japanese developers a few episodes, we came to the same conclusion about Konami. While it's cool that they have reached out to Western developers like Capcom has done, very little of what Konami releases is made in house anymore. With Team Silent long gone and Kojipro only working on Metal Gear, many franchises have fallen by the wayside. And where's Iga-san? It's about time for a brand new, HD side-scrolling Castlevania game, isn't it?

On the subject of HD collections, I love em. Yes, I own the original games in most cases, but I keep those as well. What I want more than anything from these collections is to have plenty of special features that talk about the importance of these games and curate them with a level of detail and care that you would see in a Criterion Collection for movies.

To JD's point, don't let the fact that some of these collections are missing games that came out from the PSX days keep you from enjoying them. In the case of MGS, you really don't want the Twin Snakes, and the original would look rough. When it comes to Silent Hill, you really don't need to play the first one to appreciate how important SH 2 is.

My dream would be for Square Enix to release the Final Fantasy Anthology Complete. They don't have to remake the PSX games: just up-res them and give me the option on how big I want to make the screen size. But by all means, I want HD versions of X, X-2, and XII. And XI, but that's never gonna happen.

You know your fighting games, JD. Knowing how much I love Street Fighter Alpha 3 with its huge cast and juggle goodness, would SFxT scratch that itch for me? Or do I just need to dust off my PSX copy of Alpha 3?

To quote Good 'Ol J.R. : "Business has just picked up!"

Seriously though-where's my Bayonetta sequel?

I haven't finished ME 3 due to a couple reviews falling into my lap, so I'm still on media blackout mode for this one. I've heard people complaining about the ending, but I luckily haven't heard the specific complaints besides "I didn't like it."

There's no way ME 3 could end and make everyone happy. There's just too much hype and too much emotional investment in the characters and the universe. With that being said, I would like to point out that both Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 have pretty lackluster endings. It's the moments that lead up to them that are memorable. I've had moments in Mass Effect 3 that has made the game a wonderful conclusion already, so whatever happens in the last two minutes of the game is not a big concern for me.

What is a concern for me is how much BioWare is listening to feedback lately. The last time they did that, Mass Effect 2 had all the RPG mechanics ripped out of it, and it became a watered down third person shooter. This also led directly into the way Dragon Age II was developed.

So, maybe BioWare needs to listen to their gut more and less to their fans.

Nice, I'll be getting my money's worth when they rerelease this game.

I liked it better than 2, but the first one is the best. My favorite scene is when he loses his suit, but has a spare in his trunk. His movies are hit and miss, but he's so damn entertaining that I always get psyched when a new one comes out. Safe looks awesome.
