Japan's Best And Worst Sellers By Platform [Rumor]
Eds Note: This sales data appears crunched from Enterbrain and Famitsu source data. We've marked this story as a "rumor" since the site we are sourcing carries these charmingly paranoid warnings: "Do not reprint data of this website. ＊For an anti-copy measure,I may revise numerical val...

So, How Much Space Do Your 360 Games Installs Take Up? [New Xbox Experience]
Know before you start, however, that if you own a 20GB unit, Blue Dragon - at 19.9 GB - isn't going to fit. Nor is Lost Odyssey, at a whopping 23.2 GB. And if you own Crackdown or DoA Beach Volleyball 2, you won't be able to install them at all. The feature is "not supported" for those titles. Same goes fo...

White Knight Chronicles Officially Dated For Japan!
Well, I expected the 360 hate in this thread, I loved Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia and haven't played IU. I thought that Eternal Sonata and Blue Dragon were mediocre at best. It has about 50/50 for me, which seems about standard. ...

PAX Impressions: Video Game Hands-On Blitz
I bee lined for Infinite Undiscovery first thing, since it’ll be the first thing I buy in that list of games. This action JRPG is the closest replacement Square Enix has offered me to replace Kingdom Hearts, and while I could deal with the lack of Disney, I’m not sure I could deal with the art de...

And Famitsu's Top 25 Games For 2007 Were... [Famitsu]
People only seem fussed over the scores from one Japanese mag: Famitsu. And while they're not the most reliable barometer for a title's quality (for long-running franchises like Final Fantasy, you can forget about a fanbase-annoying score), it's still somewhat interesting seeing how...

Frankenreview: Lost Odyssey (Xbox 360) [Review]

A Week In Comments [Hyper Multi-tap]
Better to simply disregard them for their beliefs than try and appreciate their work. Now I don't defend Card's rapant homophobia, nor am I a proponent of Mormonism. Doesn't mean the guy can't tell a good story. Lost Odyssey Trailer is Hippy Mess Comment by TitillatedOcelot

Japanese Sales Trends In 2007: Line Riding And Analyzing [Feature]
The Xbox 360? Well, we don't have nice things to say about its Japanese performance, so we'll just let the charts do the talking. The Xbox 360 peaked on sales of Ace Combat 6, Eternal Sonata (nee Trusty Bell) and Lost Odyssey, but it was regularly outsold by its more expensive rival the PS3.

Lost Odyssey Impressions
I really wanted this game to be fantastic. Take most of the previous Final Fantasy crew—Hironobu Sakaguchi, Nobuo Uematsu especially, but even manga artist Takehiko Inoue and former Square employees—and throw in the Unreal Engine 3, bake for a couple years, and what should you come out w...

Microsoft TGS Press Briefing Reactions [Microsoft]

Most Anticipated 360 Games
Interesting lists. I don't know if I could number mine, or if there are even ten for me, but I'd say BioShock, Castle Crashers, Gears of War, Assassin's Creed, Lost Planet (mostly because Luke keeps gushing about it to me) and Stranglehold are all on it. What about you? What games for the Xbox 3...
