Judging by the pre-orders, RE 6 is going to be a flop. Perhaps it'll be a wake up call for Capcom, and it'll make them realize that this franchise is nothing without Shinji Mikami.
Why does everyone dislike my comment? The two worst games in the franchise are RE0 and RE5, both of which Shinji had nothing to do with. Meanwhile, he directed RE1, REmake, and RE4 and produced RE2, RE3, and RE-C:V.
Where is New Super Mario Bros. 2? Doing bad or not taking pre-orders yet?
request: sleeping dogs? (ps3)
Request: Halo 4 World Wide pre-orders, if possible.

Request: Paper Mario: Sticker Star. and for games to stop saying 442 weeks. How has this gone unfixed by the author for so many weeks?
It a problem in the Database, it has nothing to do with the author, it should be N/A.
I request The Last Story as now it has a solid release date.
Poor Halo 4. In a few weeks, Black Ops II will have more pre-orders.
Request: tekken tag 2
Request: The Last Story and Pokemon
I feel bad for anyone getting assassins creed 3, for those that don't know brotherhood and revelations were on sale for something like $20 a few months after launch, heck this sunday revelations will be $10.
If you want AC, wait a month or 2 and get it on sale.
the only game I remotely want this year is halo 4, and that is only because i know i get $20 gift card when I get it.
