I was wondering if it was the same minigames but i guess they couldn't be because they were all touchscreen controlled.

Some are the same like the robot construction one. Some are similar like the table tennis instead being set in the sky with a monkey and you fly about. Or the Samurai slicing through things. Some are all new.

Anyone else love night driving. I had to drive from the airport to this town called Bath, its in the middle of nowhere in NY state. There is a sign that says Town of Bath when you enter, reminds me of a Zelda 2 town. Anyway  it was late so I drove down a dark road. There I am sitting in the car in the dark listening to some awesome music and I honestly could go on forever. There is something about driving at night with some of your favorite music that feels peaceful and calming.

I like night driving in gaming, not in real life. The dark cuts your viewing distance radically and on some roads with no street lighting it's almost hazardous.

Japanese versus US box art.  Japan wins again.

Anybody see the Urban Champion 3D trailer on the 3DS e-shop? Looks nuts, several generations above the 8-bit game it once was. They did a really good job with the 3D and perspectives.

"Xenoblade is hands-down the Wii’s best JRPG, and arguably the most competent and refreshing example of the genre this generation."

- Games™ (9/10)

"Xenoblade Chronicles is the best Japanese RPG of this generation."

- IGN (9/10)

"The best Japanese role-player of the current generation and a big step forwards for the genre in terms of accessibility and ambition."

- Metro (9/10)

"Monolith Soft’s grand Xenoblade Chronicles has arrived, bringing with it a sterling soundtrack, a phenomenal visual impact, vast amount of customisation, intriguing story and massive value for money. With it definitely proving itself to be of the highest calibre on Wii it is time for RPG fans to take a stand and show their appreciation for this sublime classic."

That story that Eurogamer ran on the idiot who called the Vita a car wreck story is blowing up everywhere. I don't know why, it's just more of the same iOS mantra that si now as boring to talk about as "games as art", but hey, makes a good headline:

"If people aren't willing to pay $249 for a Nintendo 3DS, why would they pay $299 for Vita?" he said. "People don't want to carry more than one thing in their pocket; that's why Android and iPhone have done so well. They are the devices of choice; they offer multiple functions outside of gaming."

"People don't want it. That's Nintendo's huge challenge--how do they add value to that?"

Heavy Iron Studios' Matthew Seymour was harsher with his assessment of the PS Vita's launch prospects. "With all due respect to Sony and Vita, it's a car wreck," he said.

Here are the games they have made:

• Scooby-Doo! Night of 100 Frights (2002)
• SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom (2003)
• The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Game (2004)
• The Incredibles (2004)
• The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer (2005)
• Ratatouille (2007)
• WALL-E
• Up (2009)
• SpongeBob's Truth or Square (2009)
• UFC Personal Trainer (2011)
