N Will Final Fantasy XIII have a direct sequel?

Rob Hamilton Profile _ Twitter _ E-mail _ Homepage

Square (and now Square-Enix) haven't been known for their love of actual sequels as far as Final Fantasy goes, with X being the only game in the series to have a TRUE one (although VII did have a handful of spin-off games). However, X-2 may be the beginning of a trend, as opposed to a fluke.

C More characters than you can (or want to) handle?

Rob Hamilton Profile _ Twitter _ E-mail _ Homepage

A couple years ago, I was playing Final Fantasy XII. You have six characters and can use three at one time. For most of the game, I was building all six equally. I'd put them in three groups of two. When one of a group got a level, I'd sub in the other one until they got theirs and so on. This went on until the end of the game. I was ready to beat the final boss and was undecided on whether I'd keep playing to take out the rest of the marks and espers. Considering the rather ugly result of an attempt to take on the mark Fafnir, I figured I'd really need to buff my party. At this moment, I decided to go from working all six members to picking the three I felt I was doing the best job of developing and only working with them in order to save time.

F Top 21 in 2010 - 19) Deathsmiles

Pat Floyd Profile _ Twitter _ E-mail _ Homepage

2010 was a busy year and it saw the release of a bunch of great games. Staff and regular freelance contributors at Gameroni had the opportunity to play a wide variety of titles over the past 12 months and together we've compiled a list of 21 of our favorite games from the period. These are the ones that had the biggest impact on us, not necessarily the industry as a whole. We're sharing that list with you now, one title per day over a period of three weeks. Though there's only a loose order to this list, in general you can know that we liked games more as we work toward the number one selection.

C The sins of Alpha Protocol

Tom Chick Profile _ Twitter _ E-mail _ Homepage

Why didn't Alpha Protocol, last year's best RPG/shooter hybrid, find its place on more "best of the year" lists? The easy answer is that a) people liked other games better, and b) who cares? But as a bona fide, card-carrying, state-certified, legally designated Alpha Protocol apologist, I'd like to consider a few reasons it didn't find a wider audience among the dudes who adored Mass Effect 2, Red Dead Redemption, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and other highly glossy, middling fare that earned big bucks and stratospheric Metacritic scores.

N Nintendogs + cats will know who you are

Joseph Gieske Profile _ Twitter _ E-mail _ Homepage

Even though Nintendogs was one of the first system movers for the DS, Nintendo sort of limited their audience by including only one species of animal. Nintendo undoubtedly wants the move even more 3DS with the next iteration, so they've doubled the pet loving and made it Nintendogs + cats. Even if you already own an adorable feline (or canine), some of the game's features sound exciting.
