Players can elect to summon "cartoony" versions of bats, bombs, guns, and flamethrowers. These types of items can be used to destroy objects or even other summoned items (e.g., a club can be used to hit an animal; steak can be attached to a baby to attract lions; rockets can be lobbed at a man).

The short answer: Seems like a smart move to me, at least not from GameStop... So as I walk out of my work-local GameStop with my EXTREME impulse buy of the week (Marvel Ultimate Alliance/ Forza 2 package: Its two games for $14! Don't judge me!) I decide to ask about my main game crush at the moment, Way of the Samurai 3. Now if you've seen about half the things I've written on D-Toid, you know that the common electronic statement on WotS 3's release date is October 13th, for 360 and PS3. What I got back was a very strange response indeed. The jist of it being, while there's at least the title in his system, my friendly Game Advisor had no release date information for the title. Elaborating on this, the title could very well be coming out tomorrow...but there's just no way to know from his system. HUH?! 
Crazy right!? And thus, I Matlocked. It turns out that this isn't just my local being weird: there's been reports of this happening at least in the last month or so. The general opinion around GameFAQs (how's THAT for JOURNALISM!), is that this could point to a very limited number of copies actually in store. Certainly, this could very well be a testament to the not-Triple-A roll out of this niche title. Agetec/UFO operate out of the same distribution company, Tommo Inc, which in itself, honestly looks a little sketch from its website chops. What's the deal though? Is Tommo not getting info out to GameStop? Is GameStop retail dropping the ball on a title that, admittedly, may bring in the least amount of revenue for the week of Brutal Legend and Uncharted 2's release? As your friendly neighborhood zealot, I've put the basic question out there on Agetec's forum (lolwut? Ghosttown!). What gives?! Watch this spot for an answer on what's going on from very nearly the horse's mouth! 
Though technically, this is from the hay producer's mouth... No wait. Its actually like the American subsidiary that processes half of the hay of the hay producer's mouth... Look, I'll order online if I have to! Just what the deal, doods!? {UPDATE!} The honorable Johnathan Holmes just hooked us up with some serious knowledge in the comments here. Looks like GameStop maay not be the place to pick up your copy of Way of the Samurai 3! He's tipped us off to BestSku.com, which has both version available for ordering online. No details. However, Corenthian and his excellent avatar tells us some GameStops will get the game, but not all. Also, possible Special Extra DVD GET from GameStop? Still more mystery!

So yeah, that's where to get their games if you want 'em.
I don't want to order off the internet because I wanted to pay with cash over a series of months. And you know what, the game was in the computer at my local gamestop when I went there roughly 3 months ago when I first heard about the PS3 version, all the data was there and everything. Unfortunately, the guy there couldn't set a pre-order for it for some reason. I went back about 2 weeks later, and Way of the Samurai 3 was delisted on that computer.
I mean, seriously, WTF!? And I really want that game too.
Oh Snap! Blog update in progress then!
Somebody get me a Fap, stat!
Nice prices on that site too....wow....
I live in a town with 350.000 people and none gaming store(at least one that doesn't sell pirated games).
And I live in a town with 120.000 people in it... (country kinda sucks, huh?)
I'm hearing 3 is better than one, which is generally considered better than 2. 2 made the game a bit more quest-hub-ish and a little meandering, which isn't the worst thing for a tranquil, ronin samurai romp, but it really made the pacing grind out.
3 seems to address the flow issues from 2 while keeping a larger play area and adds some cool new things like companion characters that you choose and swordcrafting from parts that you find (hilt, guard, blade, etc)
