Valkyria Chronicles hasn’t done so well. Shame, it’s a gorgeous game. Can’t help but wonder what’d be like if Sega had managed to actually draw our attention to marketing like this before 2009 ticked over.
Holiday’s over, PC sales charts. You had a grand couple weeks off, now get back to work. We need to be shown how Blizzard are able to afford to sprinkle gold dust on the canteen doughnuts.

This 360 has mouse & keyboard support! Yay! Except, sadly, it’s not official support. Just the work of a modder. But hey, if he can do it, maybe you can do it too.

Upon their death, great men are afforded a sending off befitting of their stature. Pity Tabular Rasa, then, as EB Games in Canada seems more content to roll its lifeless corpse into the nearest ditch.
Doom! Gloom!! Bittersweet optimism!!! Square Enix president Yoichi Wada rallies the troops with a New Years message titled “Riding The Current.” It’s corporate poetry.
