How do you get the tux?!

Honestly, I've spent most of 2012 catching up with 2011 games, 2011 was an amazing year, I don't think 2012 will come close to equaling it. That said.... Final Fantasy XIII-2 improved upon everything that made the original (IMHO) so awesome. Except for maybe the characters, I am not crazy about Serah and Noel was a wimpier version of Snow. Oh, also the music was kind of mixed. The gameplay was great, especially with the battle system being tweaked to fix a few of XIII's problems. Running into Noel, Sazh, and Snow were great moments. What really made the game for me was the more open level design. I liked XIII's level design for that game, but mixing it up for XIII-2 was the right call. Journey was an awesome 2 hours. In fact, I am hesitant to even go back to it, because I enjoyed my first play though so much. Kingdoms of Amalur was one of those games that was fun, I enjoyed it, but not enough to download the DLC or go get some more of those trophies, but it did make an enjoyable 20-hour hack and slash through the main game. Mass Effect 3 might be my favorite game of 2012, so far. It was pretty much everything I had hoped it to be (though it did feel a tad short). I wasn't pissed about the ending like some people. It seems like everyone had very different experiences based on what they chose in the previous games, so they did a great job of incorporating all of that. The writing was superb, Garrus and Tali especially, with their scene together at the end of the game, as well as drunk Tali and Garrus' "this is my favourite place on the Citadel". 2012 games I'm working on right now: Gravity Rush and Sorcery. Both are promising, and should probably bump Amalur off my shortlist.

Welcome new people!! Stick close to me and you'll be one of the coolest posters on the forum.

I'm probably the biggest hockey fan around here, there's a few others though. Chewblaha likes to try and talk hockey but he doesn't seem to know much about the sport. Penguins signed Crosby to a 12-year contract. Really, really, hope he can keep playing. I'd be a little nervous to be their GM, but what can you do? If you don't sign him, and he leaves, knowing puck luck, he'll probably have a long, healthy, career. But if he can stay healthy, that's good for the game, the league, and most of all the Pens.

Maybe they'll design it so the extra stick goes into the empty bottom right corner, and just force you to take the 3DS out of the contraption before you close it... that could cut down on size and increase playability. Course, if you're using your 3DS in transit, that's not really ideal.

My girlfriend got my the PS Move bundle with Sports Champions and Medieval Moves, as well as a Nav controller + Sorcery for my birthday. Really digging the Move so far, feels great in your hands. The only wish I had was for a second stick, or even a d-pad, for camera control, because currently games like Sorcery sort of remind me of Ocarina of Time. Now bring on Portal 2 with Move support!!

I'd imagine it would happen on a Tuesday, when the store updates, but hey, I'd be happy if they were right.

Just watched all three (+ new one) endings....

At least the PS3/360 will be in HD so in 5 years they won't look like garbage, unlike every other pre-HD console nowadays. I won't have a problem leaving my PS3 plugged in if the Orbis doesn't have BC, at least, not for the first few years. I imagine it'll be like the PS3 and still be supported for awhile.

Catch the garbage pokemon!

I totally forgot that some new Wii's don't play GCN games. That's crazy!

Then get rid of the GameCube, you essentially have another with your Wii!

The staff producing the Ico games are Sony employees, the only thing is Ueda left the company, but is finishing Last Guardian as a contractor.

What system are you playing it on??

Vita + Youtube x Bed = Perfect

Still can't believe those games never got a colour version for GBC.

Plus discounts coming to Vita/PSP?! Guess I'm moving to Europe. Bring me tea!

Yeah, Flow/Flower/Journey will remain exclusives to Sony, but it'll be interesting what happens to the next Thatgamecompany game. I really wish Sony would just purchase them, but maybe with their current financial troubles, they can't?

One had the C like thing, the other has the L like thing, maybe it's different currencies for different Euro countries? Or are they all on the Euro now? I think they're all on the Euro. I don't know. This post has been no help. Sorry.

While I think XIII and XIII-2's battle systems were some of the best in the series, I wouldn't mind seeing a KH's like battle system in Final Fantasy, since that's the only good part of Kingdom Hearts (yep, I said that). Supposedly, Versus is suppose to have that sort of battle system, and I still think it'll be renamed FFXV.

Well, yeah, that's part of it, but I was one of the few who was satisfied with the ending I got. Plus, I have too much in my catalog to go back and play parts of games I've already finished, maybe if it has trophies I'll have more incentive to go back, but I doubt it will.

Then buy a PS3 for the inFamous games, The Last of Us, and LittleBigPlanet games. Also see Resistance, Jak, Ratchet, Sly, God of War, and the countless other exclusive titles. Considering how well the PS3 has sold in recent years, none of these games are coming to PC anytime soon. This compilation doesn't surprise me (though, it's a tad bit silly that flOw and Flower are "bonus" games), Journey is one of the best selling PSN games. Unfortunately I think most people interested in these sorts of games, probably already have Journey and Flower. Even the Ico/SotC collection wasn't called "The Team Ico Collection".
