I kind of feel opposite.

I like the cheaper idea, but I'd rather have 10 Mass Effect's than 30 Silent Hill's. Or 10 Ocarina Of Time's over 30 short games.

I wouldn't mind fewer games either.

It's all about balance. At the moment we have none. We have games of all lengths and sizes, all pretty much releasing in a hap hazard way, usually in this cut throat market and then being heavily discounted and forgotten.

So there is a character in Endless Ocean 2 called GG.

Not a name I entered for a save file, an actual guy who wants you to call him GG.

This is my own picture I took^ He cracks me up.

Telegraph review

"New characters offer plentiful distractions, too - cocksure salvage expert GG brings requests from those who want specific treasures digging up, while enabling you to fish five more items from the sea per dive."

IGN review

"As well as getting up close and personal with everything from tiny shrimps to awesome whales, your adventurous spirit ensures that you'll also be scouring for treasure and poking around grand shipwrecks and submerged buildings - all the while unravelling a deliciously bonkers storyline involving singing sea creatures and an intellectually challenged dude who wants you to call him 'GG'. "

Eurogamer review

"It's not just the locations adding spice, either. Your diving crew gradually gathers some colourful (and amusingly but clumsily portrayed) characters into its ranks, including a jive-talking treasure hunter called GG and a Japanese lady scientist."

If you go to the UK site

http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/games/wii/endless_ocean_2_adventures_of_the_deep_13715.html?l

Click on immersive adventure then characters and there is a listing for GG!

"GG is an ambitious american salvage diver. He is cheerful and speaks in a light hearted manner, but is very accomplished in his field, having single handedly salvaged several famous treasures. His real name is Gary Gray but he tells everyone to call him GG."

And Blaster Master Overdrive looks pretty awesome! Just saw some vids.

1up review says that the game is similar to Super Metroid with the maps and everything. I hope it plays like it as well with items, weapons, etc., to open new areas.

That is does, Askie-boy... That it does.

Are there different weapons you can get? You know, the weapons that allow you to open up close-off areas like Metroid?

I'm getting it anyway, just want to be more excited for it!

We've been wondering about the fate of Samurai Shodown: Edge of Destiny ever since original North American publisher Ignition Entertainment missed the game's original November 2009 release date. Last month Rising Star Games announced a European release of the game this spring, and now XSEED has stepped forward to claim the title for North American release.

"We are thrilled to partner with XSEED Games on SAMURAI SHODOWN as we have much respect and admiration for their approach to creatively marketing games in North America," said Soichiro Hosoya, Company President of SNK PLAYMORE CORP. "Fans of the series will no doubt enjoy this next generation offering, so we look forward to working together to deliver a truly fun arcade fighting game that continues to deliver what the series has best been known for."

Samurai Shodown Sen is a 3D version of the series, featuring a host of classic characters doing battle both offline and via online multiplayer on the Xbox 360. It should be interesting to see how that pans out, now that we know it's actually on its way.

Yes:

Floating Ability. Super Tires. Wall Climb. Wall Anchor (Grappling Hook). Diving Equipment.

Instant buy, the second I get off the computer I am going to buy this game.

If ever there was a photo setting itself up perfectly for a "Funny Caption" post, this is it.  

This is a picture of "Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced Thursday that the Islamic republic has produced its first package of highly enriched uranium just two days after beginning the process."

"Are all the women on Avatar that beautiful and blue?"
