Female shep is meant to have the better VA right?

it's a matter of preference. I like femshep's VA a lot, but I hear the male VA improved a lot in the sequel. Never played it a second time, though.

Thats a retail game? Good luck selling that.

It might do well because of the Batman name.

Wooooo! Only 1 more week left until Halo: Reach launches.

I'm rock hard with balls flailing from side to side.

Some KH Birth by Sleep impressions.

First of all, I have to say that this looks, feels, and plays just like the PS2 games. It looks pretty darn amazing on the PSP especially when you play it on the 32-bit setting. There are two settings, 16-bit which is the default, and 32-bit, which is a scaled up version with more vibrant colors and less jaggies. But it comes with the price because the game goes through slow-downs. The work-around is to play it on 333mhz setting, which takes away the slow-downs, but it destroys the battery. The game recommends you to play with the AC adapter. I tried both settings and I hardly noticed much of a difference. The 32-bit does look better and smoother but as far as playability goes, it felt the same.

There are three main characters and three different campaigns that you have to play through but in any order. Each campaign has a good and lengthy campaign and let's you see the story through their point of view. The characters are your typical Tetsuya Nomura flair, but they're not bad. I can already tell that this game will overdo the melodrama "We'll always be friends" theme the series is known for. Out of the three characters, I like Aqua the most. I guess it's because she's the first female protagonist that wields the keyblade. The other two look like characters from other Square-Enix games. One of them looks just like Sora, but I guess that's done on purpose to make him look like Sora or Roxas from the other KH games.

The battle system also feels much more polished and better. There are more combos and magic than previous games and it flows more smoothly. The graphics and voice acting is good as well. And the music is always good.

Since this is a prequel it's good for fans. It sucks that it's only on the PSP and it doubly sucks that it's UMD only. But if you guys have an access to a PSP whether you own one or can get it from a friend, I highly recommend this game if you're a fan of KH. It's not KH3 but it's pretty darn the closest to a console KH game we're going to get for awhile.

Nope, still boots. Sweet! The first time I played it I barely scratched its surface.

Not that I'll be doing much more this time, heh.

Anyone tried the Quantum Theory demo on PSN?

I'm reading on GAF that it's bad! Basically it's a wannabe Gears of War, but not good at all.

Some guy was saying how Sony would've been a laughing-stock in the industry if they tried to make Quantum Theory their Gears of War!

This is very interesting:

I love stats like this. I wish more companies would track all this. Here is the full article.

Played soldier, female shep, used face customization, imported save from ME1, finished the game, 35 hr playthrough, no skipped conversations.

I like the last stat.

I heard someone from EA say that when they look at the acheivement stats, even for an acheivement that you get for "Pressing Start" to start the game only accounts for roughly 60% of copies sold.  I wish they'd release more of this stuff, I find it fascinating.

I had images off etc... so I was sitting here for the longest time thinking this was some kind of horrifying bestial reference.

Two best games this year eh?

This is easily explainable: the two biggest idiots on the internet are Gabe and Tycho.
