        Is that so? The only interesting title I see here is unmechanical.

          Symphony and Sound Shapes for people into music games (like Audiosurf or Beat Hazard) and both Hybrid (Ender's Game!) and Persona 4 Arena (Arc System Works!) are looking really good.

      After watching the video for Hero Academy, I'm immediately thinking, "Wow, couldn't think of a game to make so you ported Summoner Wars." Now, there's NOT alot of detail in the launch trailer, but I'm guessing people have been playing this on other platforms. So, is Hero Wars a Summer Wars ripoff or what?

      For the love of Cookies and Cream will somebody please bring Hero Academy to Android?! How long does it take to port that damn thing?!

      I recently read that Bayonetta 2 was being made but cancelled. This is a crime.

        I'm sort of conflicted; in one way, if that actually did happen, that really sucks, but.... it would be f'ing hard to follow up that game with a worthy sequel. I'd love them to try, though.

          Definitely hard to give it a worthy sequel, hell of a game.

      I played Rock of Ages demo and thought it was really cool! much better than Transformers Fall of Cybertron.

      Who else is getting Persona 4 Arena? I'm getting it for the zaniness, and the Persona characters, without being trapped in an RPG format. I've loved what I've seen in the gameplay videos so far, even if I'll probably get destroyed the first few days of fumbling with combo maps, and trying to play on a gamepad.

        I'm a FG nut and I'm looking forward this, however I'm also trying to keep my expectation low since I've been really burned by games like BlazBlue, SkullGirls and SFxT as of lately.

        There are also some issues with the online play on the 360 so there's another reason for me to wait a bit, but I'll eventually pick it up. So far everyone is raving on how good it is.
