Oh sweet, Zombie BBQ is a downloadable game now? I had fun with the game when I had a chance to try it.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

We're back, baby! The end of 2010 saw a brutal hijacking helpful contribution from WarpWrattler but with a new year and much better computer access, I'm going to resume the legit list.

I don't regularly list PlayStation minis but Angry Birds is a big title.

When I first saw Re-Loaded I thought it was Re-Volt. :(

The non-Johnny Cash RB songs were all in RB2 but don't export to RB3 because of licensing issues at the time. Side effect: now everyone gets them for free, even if you never owned RB2.

I was going to list Angry Birds, but then I heard the PlayStation minis version is a horribly neutered version with something like a third of the levels of the other versions (including the free Android version). But if it's cheap enough I still might pick it up.

I've heard great things about ilomilo. It certainly looks gorgeous.

The main advertised features for that PS3 version of Tetris are things that don't matter for Tetris, like 1080p and 5.1 surround sound.

If you preorder Ghost Trick from Capcom's website (for about $10 more than it is on Amazon), you get a free copy of the first Phoenix Wright (or, rather, a $10 copy).

Picking up Kingdom Hearts: Re:coded on the way home.  Not as good as Birth by SleepSome think so.  I guess I'll never know, but from gameplay trailers, I'm reasonably sure that I'll enjoy it.

I need to play more of the first Prinny before I worry about the sequel, and I don't have regular access to a DS for Ghost Trick or Re:coded (but I was planning on waiting until that one's cheap like I did with the other KH DS game anyway), so nothing for me this week.

But those VC games are good. Particularly GnG.

Also, in addition to making Tomba! available, they should put Frogger: He's Back! up on PSOne Classics.  I think there are legal reasons for their not doing the former, but I don't know of any impediment to the frog.

Today I visited five different shops, all of which should have had a hot, hip new game like Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. Four had nothing; one was a GameStop with a single gutted "new" copy (which I won't buy). I've been in this situation many times before, but today was particularly soul-crushing because I had to walk past the endless racks spilling with copies of Kingdom Hearts Re:heated in each of the five stores. There's no justice in this world man... no justice.

The main lesson I learned today was that saying "Ghost Trick Phantom Detective" out loud sounds retarded.

Could be worse, LD. I once asked the clerk at GameStop to look up DJ Max Portable 3. They don't have it in their system at all, so it pretty much doesn't exist in their eyes. If for some reason I wanted to trade it in there, I wouldn't be able to (regardless of things like it definitely being a US copy and it being impossible to create homemade UMDs).

Saying "DJ Max Portable Three" out loud is also incredibly awkward.

Incidentally, only one new game I've bought at GameStop in the past year or so has been a gutted "new" copy instead of a sealed copy from behind the desk, and it was their last copy in stock (and on sale). Unless your GameStop is even smaller than mine, I don't know why they'd only have one copy of a brand-new game, even a niche title; both of the stores near me are tiny, and they've had multiple new sealed copies of things like Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey and Pangya Portable.

No mention of Ys I & II on PSP? Chupperson would be disappointed.
