I got the DS Rockman EXE game yesterday and what a disappointment. I'm sorry, was Capcom billing this as a REMAKE? It has the same awful graphics as the original GBA game released in what? 2001?

Splinter Cell's got some nice new additions like sneaking in multiple ways and clearing a room really cool by taking out multiple opponents and stuff but you reaaaally gotta search more and watch more Alpha Protocol. The stuff you can do in that game is insane like a multi targeting system like Fallout 3's VAts system only not so boringly slow and you gotta level up your ability or equipment to use it. And also a device that lets you see where and how many opponents are on the other side of a wall before you go in to clear out the room. Crazy stuff. Plus its 30 hours minimum game time with many different story paths. I hope the delay gives them the extra time to put the Uncharted 2 polish onto it I thought like you at first too.

Definitely FFXIII / Resonance for me as well RPG-wise, very impatiently waiting for them. Alpha Protocol not so sure.. I think I would prefer Splinter Cell Conviction. I totally didn't know DBZ: Attack of the Saiyans is coming out here so soon, hope it'd be fun. But that could wait along w/ Raging Blast... watching DB Kai every week is giving me my DB fix already.

XSEED really needs to give us a Lunar release date, though. There's nothing I'm terribly interested this week for, perhaps, the first time in months.

Waste of time unless you have a decent PC. And bad presentation anyway. FF XIII, Resonance of Fate and Alpha Protocol ftw I hate Dragon Age Origins. Waste of time unless you have a decent PC.

I'm still not sure whether it was a good idea, hopefully Atlus knows their business better than I do. It doesn't look like a big seller anyway. Still, my copy should be almost ready to ship.<br><br>By the way, any known bonus with the first shipment? I know Sting likes to do that, but maybe Atlus isn't so keen (we're not talking Atlus USA here). I've read something about tereka, but I'm not sure.
