Topic: Nintendo Life Playstation 3 Fan Thread

A little off topic but see if you can spot the link in this Guardian newspaper report that makes me happy: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/jul/03/call-of-duty...

It's kinda cool when the finest newspaper in the world is linking to you.

add me plz

"Video games are seen as a volatile business with some pundits predicting a crash for the industry, due to an over-reliance on "safe" familiar tropes."

I guess if you keep being controversial, at some point you'll attract attention.

[/div]

I'm hurt. "Being controversial" seems to imply that I just throw words out there for the sake of it. I know what I'm talking about for the most part, and I'm not wrong when I see big, fundamental flaws in the games industry (as both a business and creative endeavour). The best solution to every problem is to get people thinking and stimulate discussion. Even when I'm proven to be wrong, I've achieved my goal by doing my bit to add to the knowledge pool.

I'm sad that what I thought was mutual respect appears to be a one-way street, here

I was kidding. It was a cheap shot and I couldn't resist. I mean c'mon, out of all your articles, he picks the one about doom and gloom.

I'm pretty sure they're the only articles I write

Well, that and another one where you got into a big argument with, like, over 40 posts are the only ones I can remember.

Good times, good times.

In other news I am now to be titled "Industry Pundit," kthnx.

But back on topic! I've not been playing my PS3 much recently, but that new Battle Chess release has caught my eye.

BTW, through a super long and delicate process, Atelier Rorona has been chosen as the next game I play after Ys Seven, provided I don't give into temptation and just play another fighting game.

Yay! ^_^

Rorona is a special game for me. It was my first Atelier game, and though the sequels are more refined, I thought the personality was strongest with Rorona.

I bought Rorona today. Was going to get it ages ago, but it was sold out, and I never really bothered chasing it up. Until it saw it advertised for cheap.

Some of the Arkham Asylum challenges are pretty fun. It's nice to just beat up some bad guys with out having to start a new story.

The challenges are awesome, you don't see the full extent of the battle system until you try and beat them 100% (which I did ). It goes from being a button masher to a very precise and challenging dance that, once mastered, makes you really feel like Batman.

Rainbow Moon is surprisingly compelling!

Tales of Xilla is coming to the west

And the latest sxreens for Sony smash bros have turned me off the game..

I can't wait for Tales of Xillia. Supposedly the best game in the series.

I told you! I can't stop playing it. I'm playing on the absolutely hardest difficulty settings and it took me ten hours to get off the first island! Haha

Simply put, Rainbow Moon is one of the best options for your money on PSN!

I know. The import impressions have been incredibly positive. Only negative I've heard is that it definitely sets up for the sequel, but if they can make it just as good or even better (or heck, even a little worse), I'd be okay with that.

Just a quick heads-up, Mortal Kombat for PS Vita is only $9.99 at GameStop right now. I would have posted this in the PS Vita thread but I figured that more people would see it here. I got myself a copy in store today but you can order it online as well:
