Surprised to see so many for MMOs, actually. A lot of devs have shied away from direct competition with Blizzard's behemoth, and are actually doing a lot of nifty things to set them apart from the crowd. The basic action bar controls are still there, but that's so little of what makes the game.

Good stuff. What this game may end up lacking in quality (though I have my fingers crossed), it'll certainly make up for in terms of sheer quantity.

I've played and beaten them all, here are my thoughts:

Tales of Vesperia > Eternal Sonata > Final Fantasy XIII

Skyward Sword is just different. What I would recommend is picking up ToV, beating that, and then taking a break from JRPGs with Skyward Sword. Then hop into Eternal Sonata. If you're still craving a JRPG, then move on to FFXIII. They're all good, but some are better.

So strange that it's been six years since Kingdom Hearts II. One of my tops would be KH as well. Others would be:

• Pikmin (though I suppose we're about to get a new one)
• Prince of Persia (I know there's been more since last generation's trilogy, but y'know)

The OUYA will launch. If it doesn't then there's going to be a lot of very angry people.

Halo for sure. The sheer breadth of content can't be beat. Campaign, multiplayer, weekly Spartan Ops DLC, Forge. All that fun stuff.

Yeah, I miss 'em. Then again, I miss the Question of the Week, too.

I feel like this is obligatory.

THANKS A LOT PATRICK
