Sorcress grips my smaller than average Rod of Justice tightly (gaming thread)

Gaming stuff, it's below

WIsh I could say that there is a lot of news this past week but I would be lying but this week is saved as Dragon's Crown comes out on Tuesday for the PS3 and the Vita. In this day and age, the beat'em up genre is looked down upon a low score bias but for the most part, Dragon's Crown bucks the tread with a an overall score of 83 in metacritic. That average would be higher if Polygon and The Escapist liked art. But what are you gonna do?

The last trailer for the game before release

Realistically, there are only two other games of note that come out this week:

After a ton of starts and stops, Nintendo finally gets Pikmin 3 out the doors today.

We sadly don't get many of the games in the "Tales Of...." series but Namco decided to throw us a bone with a US release of Tales of Xillia for the PS3. After it bombs, I'm more than likely pick it up myself and be driven insane by the bad dialog that repeats non-stop during combat.

As last week's thread was posted, I was in the middle of the biggest battle that any videogame has seen in a small system in EVE. The total count of people hit the 4070 mark in the system at a time (CCP can claim that there was no cap but it never got past that number even with people trying to get in). Frankly, the actual fight was crap, no matter how much time it gave me to catch up on my soaps. Though cool, CCP really needs to start on recoding their game to make it multi-threaded. Oh and I'm not gonna call Test cowards but when the mainstream press calls them that, how am I to disagree? In the end, we crushed Test and friends and they slinked off, leaving the region we were invading.

A quieter week in gaming,
The Dude
