Pikachu hasn't been a marketing mascot in many, many years. At. All. You can generally catch it, but it's never been given any in game attention after Yellow.

Since I threw away my dignity years ago, I would've been the first person in line to try Galgun had it been released in the U.S.
As for Catherine...I'll get around to it eventually, Quite frankly I find the character graphics to be a bit strange looking, and not "deliberately" strange but rather "awkwardly designed" kind of strange. |

Very glad Catherine is coming over here. I love Atlus.
I wish you would have wrote something about Dragon Age 2, but the mention is nice at least. I'm getting as soon as I can. |

The news about Chinatown Fair closing down, made very sad though I have never been there or heard of the place but it just makes me sad when an arcades close down for good, something similar happened to a small arcade room in a City's Mall it was sad since most kids go to Howie's (which is right next to the arcade which pains me
 )
Arcades are becoming more and more rare as time marches on. |

I think that Catherine is grossly overhyped. Go back a couple months and not many people were interested in the game. Fast forwards to around late January when several websites started releasing videos and stuff and magazines published articles about it and got the internet talking about it. At that point it was a no brainer for Atlus to release the game in the states.
I predict that by the time it comes out here, maybe 1/6 of the people who are gushing over the game right now will actually buy it. Despite what many people believe, if you don't like Persona style games you WON'T like Catherine. Just because "the cover looks sexy" doesn't mean its a game you'll like 
Am I alone on this or does someone actually agree with me on this?

I can't wait to play Vagrant Story. I was late to the party on this one, and have been waiting for Square Enix to get this up on PSN for some time now. Which bring me to a question I've had recently. Why does the NA branch of Square Enix suck so much? Europe is getting games way earlier and their getting all the awesome special editions, while we get to wait. And as far as Galgun goes, I know it was just a demo but I can't understand what issues people would have with it. Now I haven't played any H-games aside from Tears to Tiara, so don't confuse me with someone who gets off on this stuff but the content didn't seem that offensive to me. For the past three years I've said this but this year truly has the potential to be one of the best years for gaming releases, at least for me. Just as I make an attempt to spend less on anime I'll spend significantly more on gaming, not what I was planning but I won't complain. |

The timing of Catherine's release date is pretty good. Up until now, the only game coming out in the summer that I wanted was Infamous 2.

I know that it's being hyped to death, but I can't wait for Catherine. There aren't many games coming out right now that I'm really excited about, and seeing a psychological puzzle game that combines themes of sex, commitment, death and nightmares (from a publisher I love, no less) is welcome by me. The fact that it looks like a candy-colored Silent Hill 2 sealed the pre-order deal for me; here's to hoping it's not a disappointment.

In deed they do... I'm a sucker for soundtracks by the way. In case any industry folk might be lurking.  ;;

Haha nice ones!
GnG + Donkey Kong + Silent Hill + Persona = Catherine There, that's the equation XP |

Same here. Soundtracks don't necessarily get me to shell out for a collector's edition, but they definitely make me think about it. |

Oh man, I was going to hit that place on my next trip to LA, guess it's not gonna happen 
Regarding Chinatown Fair, I used to go there whenever I could when I lived in the NY area. Such a shame they closed down, I thought that was a pretty decent arcade... Now I'll have to go back to Japan to get my arcade fix. |
