Pretty impressed with Mass Effect, considering it's a western game on a western system in Japan. The zero PS3 games in the top 30 in Japan thing is honestly shocking. What the hell is going on over there?!

What's next, a Japanese NBA team?

wow didn't think Mass would do that well in Japan

It's impossible to predict how western titles will do. I would point to the fact that it really only sold 17k in its first week, which is in line with Fallout 3 IIRC.

Nothing huge, but still decent.

This must mean Microsoft have won Japan.

I know you're attempting sarcasm, but I think the point was to contrast the relative success of a single title, not disparage the PS3.

Unless that hurts people's feelings, which I'm completely in support of.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
