Ocarina had a much more immersive world... for it's time at least. The only modern games that have made me feel like that again were Red Dead Redemption and maybe Skyrim (which I'm too afraid to play on my PS3 till a few more patches!).

A crappy arrangement for a crappy song. Fitting, I suppose.

My counter said 50 hrs but I'm pretty sure it's because I left the game paused a bunch of times while I had dinner/shoveled the driveway/etc. It's probably a 40 hours to do the mainquest and some of the sidequests. There was a little bit of filler at the very end, when you return to the forest/water area and the fire area after the 6th dungeon, you'll know what I mean.

Uncharted 3 for 33% off just weeks after it came out is a great deal. There's a bunch of good deals there if I lived in the states I'd pick up a few of those....

Just beat it... here are my thoughts:

Just beat Skyward Sword. I give it an A+! Which makes 2011... LittleBigPlanet2 Mass Effect 2 Final Fantasy XIII Pokemon White Braid Dissidia Final Fantasy Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy IV Ocarina of Time 3D Catherine Assassin's Creed 2 (platinum!) Ico Batman: Arkham City Uncharted 3 Skyward Sword I'm sure I am forgetting something.... next up is Assassin's Creed: Revelations!

Just a day away from FFVI coming to the PSN... it'd be great if they did a port of the DS FFIII for the PSN... or maybe, finally put, Crisis Core on the PSN so we can play that on the Vita with dual thumbsticks. That'd be sweeet.

Tunics are one thing this game is lacking, but I guess if you were to change Link's tunic colour, that wouldn't make sense. Post 6th Dungeon Complaints:

Nothing is worse than people complaining about region locks. Does anyone ever import games? I don't know anyone who does. Maybe a game like Xenoblade for the Wii but that's coming over anyways. You do realize that you can download a game off the PS3 PSN and then copy it over to the Vita right??

Hey, Owen Good is a journalist for Kotaku! He doesn't need to learn "facts" or know "what he's talking about".

Hmmm... I was talking about this earlier... but I was thinking a dollar or two... not 40%! Would be awesome if true. http://kotaku.com/5864910/digital-download-discount-for-vita-may-explain-sonys-memory-stick-plans

Hearing Square Enix isn't joining the UMD Passport program was a little disappointing. Especially when I counted 9 UMDs on my shelf. Ooops!

Dammit it's not coming to Canada Hopefully I can order online..............

Yeah I rock the side burns. Next November I'm going to participate in Movember. Wilco > Son Volt

5th temple spoilers:

Don't think it has a DVD drive mate. That's why I said the PS2 Classics, that have been appearing on the PSN Store in recent months. Makes sense, where'd you read this interview?

Makes sense when her most defining characteristic is her horribly annoying voice..........

Same here, and yet, I'll often have a lazy Sunday afternoon and can't find anything I want to play.

APRIL 3rd!!! EB GAMES!!!!!!! SHIT'S GONNA GET REAL!!!!!!!!!

So is Link reincarnated or is each Link the descendent of a previous Link or is there no relation?

I was never able to get into it as a kid, but maybe I'll give it another chance after I finish Fringe in a few weeks.

Well, I'm hoping they can do 70 bones again, we'll see! You also have to factor in the lack of Monster Hunter, which was HUGE in Japan. But it's hard to say there won't be another huge app like that. Only time will tell.... Did we ever find out if it can play PS2 Classics?

There's a whole big Batman world out there. Nolan barely shows any of it. Yeah I also saw Batman Forever and Batman & Robin in the 90s! That makes me a Batexpert right?!

I enjoyed it. I'm not a comic book fan or a Batman fan, apart from the Nolan movies, so I had to take the plot with a grain of salt, but the combat and gameplay made up for that, in my mind at least. Though there was a few characters I had never heard of before, most notably Talia. I am assuming her father was Liam Neeson from Batman Begins? I don't remember him having a daughter. Once I started playing a lot of the sidequests, the excitement of some of the characters being there was lost on me.

The Vita might offer better graphics but so did the PSP and we all know how that turned out. Yep, the PSP sold 71 million units(and counting) becoming the 3rd, and give it 9 million more units and it grabs second, best selling handheld console of all time after the GBA and NDS. The PSP is pretty much the first handheld to seriously contest Nintendos handheld dominance in 3 generations (as an example the GameGear only ever sold 11 million units). Sure it hasn't sold 150million like the NDS, but 70million is by no means something to be snuffed at. The Gamecube and Xbox combined only ever did 50million sales in the face of the PS2s 100million+. If providing a higher powered alternative handheld to Nintendos offering hadn't worked out with the PSP do you really think they'd be releasing the Vita with the same draw? I'm not saying the PSP wasn't a success, but I do think Sony intended the PSP to compete better with the DS, and I also believed it would sell better outside Japan. While it did sell well, the DS was a monster, and the PSP could have had a better chunk of that IMO. The Vita is in situation now, with smart pricing, and good advertising, it could maybe even surpass the 3DS as the lead dedicated handheld this generation. Sony should be pushing the Vita to be more than just the "alternative to 3DS" like the PSP was for the DS. But having substantial hidden costs in a system already more expensive than its competitors (how much is an iPod touch?), when the 3DS is has an almost 12 month head start (albeit a slightly rocky head start) and when smart phone gaming is taking away a lot of the "blue ocean", is NOT the way to do it. It's just disappointing.
