Rag Doll Kung Fu , FUCK YEAH ! The PC original was one of the most fun games I ever played (the control was awfull though) , and a sequel with better graphics , controls and gameplay is all I can dream of ...

There is really nothing good coming out. The next game I'm anticipating is Sacred 2 but that is still far away. For this week I will probably just pick up the Versus mode dlc for RE5

I might end up buying a DSi way later down the line, it seems pretty cool but not wort the $150 or whatever it's worth. I might pick up another Lite since they might drop the price because the DSi comes out, probably not, though.

Why did they change the name of Pyoro to Bird & Beans? The new name just sounds stupid.

Riddick is on buy list alright. I hope the multiplayer is good.
Company of Heroes looks good as well, kind of reminds me of Dawn of war 2, you know, it seems like you only control one tank throughout the whole mission.

But seriously what the hell? Dragon Ball Evolution? There's a game of it now? Good fucking god.

I would love a DSi, but I literally got my first DS a month and a half ago as a gift and I just love it too much to get rid of it.

GBA slot, cold dead hands, etc. etc.

I am absolutely erect with anticipation (and sadness) for the Guilty Gear series' swan song, though. Sweet PSP games never hurt.

*sigh* I caved and bought a DSi when I got Rhythm Heaven. I'm also thinking about Guilty Gear, and I'm getting Hammerin' Hero.

Riddick doesn't have a street date. You should be able to walk into Gamestop and pick it up today. I got mines on Saturday.

Oh, and it's amazing.

I still have the original, brick DS. I don't plan on buying a thousand reissues of it like I did with the GBA.

I'm probably going to get Riddick,

I've been waiting for Godfather 2 since I finished my 3rd playthrough of Godfather 1.

I miss the Corleone family.

In fact, I'ma ring and pre-order it right now - would hate to be let down.
