I'm sorry but the only company I would be willing to buy a 3rd-party Nintendo controller from is Razer. Nyko doing a high tech controller? No...

That EGM review is shocking for Xenoblade....that dude seems like he has bitter resentment for any game in the "Xeno" line. Everyone's giving it 9+ but this guy says its mediocre? Cmon...

THQ not being around in 6 months is apparently true.

A friend of mine has a buddy that works for them and he said they're living' on fumes. Preparing to pack it in by the end of the year.

he would say how the "model" of their game development works.. and it was awful

how they take creativity and originality out of the mix

and pretty much make cookie cutter games

reskinned over and over

not fix bugs

the list goes on and on

: no need to fact check or bug test games that are just modded copies of their previous years release....lol

save money on all levels

no need for a creative team

no need for real programmers..lol

no need for testers

no need for marketers

I used to love just standing around and playing that card game in Final Fantasy 8....man those games were so epic back then.
Speaking of FF....why the fuck is Square putting character models from other companies games into FF 13? The fuck?

Yes that crad game was awesome! What the hell happened to side games and mini game like moments in FF. FF7 was filled with them, 8 had a bunch, even 10 had some cool ones but since then it has really gone down.
