Valkyria Chronicles: Forever Remembered
by Rolando at Siliconera

It’s a good thing that Nintendo has some deep pockets because they’ve been forced to dig in and withdraw $21 million in patent infringement fines.

Yahtzee Alienates Poplar Trees (That Bastard)
by Nadia at PlayStation Monger
Yahtzee’s review of Grand Theft Auto IV officially puts him in an interesting position: It affirms that he doesn’t care for the wai-wai technocolour of Japanese-produced games, but neither is he firm and erect over brown-and-grey gaming. So I guess he’s a moderate? Balderdash. Who has time to sit on the...
