Xenoblade Chronicles taught me an important lesson: Never trust the Internet.
You see, for the past few months, everybody everywhere on the web has been hyping the hell out of Monolith Soft’s new Wii role-playing game, which publisher Nintendo will release in the United States this Friday (though it’s been out in Europe for almost a year, and in Japan for close to two).
