Doesn't Mr. Game & Watch deserve a full game to call his own?
This week on PB & Jason: Lies, deceit, evil twins, a wedding, and a funeral! No, no, not really. Instead, there's talk about Kid Icarus: Uprising! Nintendo's favorite angel takes on the armies of the underworld and also multiplayer vs. matches. What do I think about Pit's revival? Well, let's just say it inspired me to speculate about what could be done to bring back two other Nintendo franchises that are basically dead in the water at this point: Game & Watch and Balloon Fight.

Journey is just that and then some.
At its core Journey’s focus is on something we do every day without thinking about it – walking. We walk around our homes, we walk to our cars, and some of us may even walk to where we are going throughout the day. Even those of us who are unable to walk with our legs find some other means of locomotion to trek to and fro. Basic movement to us is like breathing – we do it unconsciously even though it is an important aspect of life. So when I say that Journey is about walking, I am saying that Journey is about something we take for granted. It’s about what happens on our way from point A to point B.

Retailing at $54.99, the controllers will all feature the transforming D-Pad, which gives players two modes of operation. In its default position it will operate just like the D-Pad on the standard Xbox 360 controller, but when turned, it does a better job of sensing the cardinal directions.
