I don't actually have an issue with the game being called Monado. The last chapters of XenoSaga weren't well received. Episode II was pretty much panned, and while Episode III was reviewed much better, it wasn't a big seller. Nintendo could just as easily try to severe the game from its roots and branch this into a new universe and ultimately a new IP. It doesn't seem real likely that any of the earlier games will show up on a Nintendo console in NA since the DS port of XenoSaga 1 & 2 never made it overseas. Honestly renaming it makes more sense to me than keeping with the Xeno name.
This has been a great gaming weekend for me. Since PSN Store was having a sale I picked up the "buy Marvel Comics Pinball and get Zen Pinball free" deal. Both are good pinball sims. Nothing beats the real thing, but I have to give credit and say these are good. Marvel Pinball is particuarly good. They have a pinball board for Blade that is very reminescent of the Adams Family Pinball, arguably the best pinball game of the 90's. If anyone ever picks that game up let me know so I can lord over you how much better my scores are than yours
Aside from that I've also been playing Streets of Rage II and am still working through "evil mode" on inFAMOUS.
I've been playing Bioshock 2, Pikmin, and Pikmin 2 this weekend.
For me:
Kickass game. My little guy looks pimp with his new flamenco shirt. Probably 15 hours in, Lv 20 minstrel, starting to dip my toes in actual questing and I recently got a fucking boat! How cool is that?
Reinstalled it this weekend. Played a lot of matches in the GAF server. Still every bit as fun and competitive as I remember it.
Well, I'm pretty much giving up on my crazy arse feature, thanks in no small part to this fucking game:
So in the interim, here's some of the other stuff:
Yet to start, but I've downloaded most of the DLC.
Loving the start of the game.
Now playing The Godfather on XB. It's good.
Still playing Nostalgia on DS, Sin and Punishment on VC and Champions of Norrath (PS2).
This weekend also spent some time playing UC2 online, Burnout 3 and 4 (XB), MLB The Show 09, Virtua Tennis (DC).
You get a Plus One for THAT alone!
Anyone with Google Chrome, please beat THIS and let me know it's POSSIBLE!
THANKS!
Chico didn't score.
Congrats Steel!
Okamiden does not end! Damn boss fight gauntlet!!!!
kickass game, I have both and beat both loved them too!
Looks like RE: Mercenaries 3D came out earliy in Australia. I has a copy. Will post more later.
I was wondering on your epic road trip for work, are you documenting in pictures all the places you visit?
Nintendo would see the sales surge and think, people want monado so lets keep that name.
Monado was the original name for the game before it was renamed as Xenoblade.
I've been playing Ocarina of Time 3D master quest and I wanted to play more zelda but I got stuck so I kicked off a new save on Phantom Hourglass. Linebeck is hilarious, one of the best characters, ever.
I've been playin Phantom Hourglass as I wanted to play more Zelda and I didn't have Minish Cap on me.
Linebeck is the greatest character in the zelda universe.
When you first meet Linebeck...
Linebeck: "I'm here looking for info about the Ghost Ship too! I was just a step away, but I sprained my ankle. Otherwise, I would have explored this cursed place."
Ciela: "Liar! I just saw you running like a rabbit!"
Linebeck: "No. No you didn't. That was just an illusion."
The first one was when you first meet Linebeck. When he shook Link and threw him to the ground. I was like What the hell? Did he just do that?
[spoiler]I love it when Linebeck is leaning on Zelda when she is stone and he knocks he over and then tries to play it cool. I laughed out loud on that one too![/spoiler]
Here's an orchestrated version of Linebeck's theme
Yeeeeeeeees
Funny and interesting feature on the kinds of pressures publishers put on developers:

I thought he was the keeper.
Steel have you heard the new Morbid Angel? I'm kind of disappointed. Half the album doesn't even sound like Morbid Angel, and the half that does, just isn't as good as the old shit.
Not yet, but now I'm worried after reading your impressions. So it doesn't hold a candle to Blessed are the Sick?
