Just got my code and I will DL when I get home this evening. Thanks, GR! Good looking out.

I never said that it was more 'exciting'. I said that it was more 'enjoyable'. There's a difference. I wasn't giddy with excitement over exploring a barren world with no side missions but it was more enjoyable than just moving a crosshair across a planet surface and launching probes. More immersive, if you will.

But we can both agree than planet mining/exploration with no side missions is a waste of time.

But he wasn't camping then. He was standing out in the open.

"The planet mining was boring and tedious as hell, yes, but can't tell me with a straight face than wandering aimlessly around same planets with just a color palette swap with the buggy mako was much more enjoyable."

Actually that WAS more enjoyable than just scanning a planet from space and launching a probe. At least it felt more like exploring since you could get out of the MAKO and put boots to ground.

I was intrigued until I saw it was a Kinect exclusive :(

"I'm"

I a fan of Jay-Z and his music but even I'm thinking that these two things do not work together in this instance. Maybe if they just used the instrumental but the lyrics don't work...

This is good news, great news for the die-hard FFX fans. But I would have been even happier if they gave more information about Versus.

Great preview, Mikel. You were both funny and informative. I remember playing Oblivion and, even after playing for over 100 hours, I only closed one Oblivion gate. There was just so much to do in that game, it was crazy. I'm looking forward to more of the same from Skyrim.

Maybe he/she might make a cameo appearance in a future title. That would be cool.

@ Moondoggie1157 - You commented "Damn these non-backward compatible PS3s... I still have the discs back home somewhere..."

All PS3's are backward-compatible with PS games. I'm not sure if you just misspoke...

Looking good as expected. Almost makes me wants to go home and play the original.

They better not mess this up!!! This started off as good news but then the points that the author bought up made me think otherwise. Just give us a pure SSX experience without any of this motion-controller crap!! Aargh, I getting mad just thinking about how bad they'll mess this up :)

I still have the original PSP that I bought in 2005 and it's still going strong. I will probably buy a new PSP if they make it with the dual sticks.

That was painful to watch, for real.

Just add a timer to the detective mode/vision as if the battery runs out quick and you need time for it to recharge before you can use it again. A minute of straight usage would require two minutes or so for it to fully recharge again for further use.

My son and I love playing the PS2 version. Haven't finished it yet though. I even bought Persona 4 and haven't even opened it yet. I want to finish P3 first (even though the stories aren't connected).

I'm with crazyshemai, I like that this game got a good review because I'm planning on getting this holiday season but...How come there is no review for Ultimate Ninja Storm? Don't tell me that no one on the staff has played it yet...
