Just what has made the newest Fire Emblem game so popular?
darkhyrulelord: Those certainly sound like good reasons. I'd say that marketing was probably the biggest point. Hopefully I can play this before long.
windwarrior42: A friend recommended it and I had a best buy gift certificate so I thought why not. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
stuff4fun: I still haven't got Awakening, due to the fact that this has come out just before my school exams start (I live in Australia so April 20, and the exams are a week from today). When this came out, I had just got my copy for Monster Hunter 3: Ultimate for the Wii U, so I didn't have the money or the time to buy a second game. Once the exams are done, it's an instant buy for me.
PaultheMellow: My only real gripe with the New Fire Emblem is that I heard they added a beach scene, but I haven't actually played the game yet.
pre10do64: I think Smash Bros. is almost completely responsible for Fire Emblem picking up more fans over here. Couple that with the fact that more and more young folks today are getting into anime stuff and other Japanese things and there ya go. The list you made sounds good but I don't think that stuff (besides the marketing), is selling Fire Emblem.

Another top ten games of last year list... OR IS IT??!
Yes, yes it is.
Fox: Glad to see The Darkness 2 on here. That game was criminally overlooked.
Noble Team 1: Well my got of the year is your second choice as I haven't played many titles this year expect for Resident Evil Revelations and Mass Effect 3, with Resident Evil Revelations being my favorite choice out of the two. I would like Mass Effect 3 more but not due to the ending but more in part since the in game choices outside of curing the genophage and solving the war between the geth and quarians I kinda didn't care about most of the other things about the game but that was just me. Then there was the fact the game felt even more linear and streamlined than Mass Effect 2 which was a offputting as I really enjoy the exploration aspect of my rpgs and finally Mass Effect 3 was always really easy but regardless an impressive list that shows that regardless of what others say that ones own opinion on a game is still ultimately what makes a game good or fun in the point of view.

Which video game characters would be perfect for The Olympics?
eopter: Technically this could have been any Mario Tennis character, so why Waluigi? Well his first apperance onto the video game <a href="http://www.passguides.com/70-485.html">passguide 70-485</a> scene came from the original Mario Tennis, so it somehow felt appropriate that he would be chosen for the sport. The various tips and tricks employed in <a href="http://www.passguides.com/70-485.html">http://www.passguides.com/70-485.html</a> Mario Tennis ensure he'd have a fair advantage over any other competitors as well. <a href="http://www.passguides.com/70-485.html">70-485 exam preparation</a> Finally, if he finds himself struggling, Waluigi can just terrify the opponent with his creepy face. <a href="http://www.passguides.com/70-485.html">70-485</a> That'll put anyone off their game.
Alpha Unit: The Olympics need hopscotch!

A new version of an old blog. What are The Englishman's top ten series of all time?
TheEnglishman: The third Layton game has a surprisingly emotional ending, I wasn't expecting such a cheerful series to evoke a reaction like that.
iluvpopcorn23: Nice. I would easily put Layton, Ace Attorney, and Zelda in my top 5. Up until last year, I never thought I would enjoy Ace Attorney, but the minute I started playing it, it took away the lives of me, my brother, and my friend for a couple of months. We only had the cartridge that I purchased, so we had to keep taking turns. But the payoff was worth it. Not only did I get to play the games, but I could discuss it and make jokes with other people about it. And then I picked up Layton. The story of those games are awesome. The third game was probably the first game to actually make me cry. And then came the fourth game, followed by the movie. They know how to write a story. (Mask of Miracle is going to be BOSS).
LousyTactician: Nice work Englishman, With a list like this everyone's is bound to be different, but a lot of these choices made sense. Professor Layton is win!

An analysis of whether the video game industry is running out of ideas.
G1Supreme: Before that post you hadn't used the word ONLY once, Once meaning singular, EVER...
I guess I can't see....also sales are not equal to quality, otherwise Bay would be a visionary voice of a generation and Call of Duty would be the best video game of all time

Fulchrum: ......is it that you can't count, or can't see?
The ONLY games in the list. ONLY. Meaning that Every. Single. One. of the other 88 games, is a sequel. Meaning the ratio is 3:22. Good sequels outnumber good original IPs more than 7 to one.
Do you understand yet?

Do you understand yet?
G1Supreme: "Go to Gamesrankings an look at the top 100. You have a dozen first entries in a series in the top 100 games - Halo, LittleBigPlanet, God of War, Company of Heroes, Okami, Devil May Cry, Unreal Tournament, Half Life, Grim Fandango, Minecraft, THPS, and Gears of War."
Those are all the first game in a series, your example is of original IPs, proving the opposite to to the point you were trying to make. If sequels are better the list wound be:
Halo 3, LittleBigPlanet 2, God of War 3, Devil May Cry 4, Half Life 2 and Gears of War 3.
But it isn't you have provided evidence which discredits your argument, ya silly goose

Zappapowered: To Answer your question... Yes, Yes they are
Fulchrum: Then thats obviously not what I said. I proved the best videogames are the sequels in a series, and said that sequels are better, and that we shouldn't under any circumstances be pushing for less sequels.

Just more general video game observations. What does the Englishman think about Sonic 4 Episode 2, game delays and E3?
Elmo 3000: Nice blog, I always enjoy your ramblings. Thanks for posting!
TheEnglishman: Brotherhood just feels like a rehash right now and that's disappointing.
LousyTactician: Speaking as a fan of Assassin's Creed I'm also disappointed by the number of uninteresting titles that have been pushed out, but I have faith in Assassin's Creed 3.
Alpha Unit: The last one was quite obvious, but nice blog there.
