Excited for Arcana Hearts, and though I'm gonna get it now, I don't have time yet to play Baroque :(

Barouque looks interesting but I'm holding out for Okami so no dice for me.

I'll definitely be picking up Ikaruga. Baroque interests me, but I've heard bad things. Sam & Max is always a winner. On the adventure front, Overclocked: A History of Violence could be cool, but I'm going to wait for some reviews. As a Fatal Fury fan, I'd probably grab Battle Archives if I still played my PS2.

It's ALL ABOUT BAROQUE for me, Baby! Gamestop is even claiming it will be in tomorrow (how often are games out ON their release date short of major events like SSBB or Halo 3?).

I'm all over Arcana Heart and Baroque. I think I'm just going to mail Atlus my wallet. Too much stuff coming out this month from them.

I'll get Ikaruga... Except I can't.
Got no 360! Yet...

Arcana Heart seems like it needs a arcade stick... I hate controllers.

I've thinking of buying a Hori Stick but I don't think AH will be the game to help me finally get one.

'Rah! Ikaruga! I ordered a new 360 controller with a hopefully less shit d-pad just for it.
