Toys &#8216;R&#8217; Us most definitely doesn&#8217;t have it, and <a href=\"http:\/\/ebgames.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">EB&#8217;s website<\/a> has become even more useless than it used to be. There&#8217;s no way I&#8217;m setting foot in an EB unless I know they have what I want. The only retailer website that brings it up is HMV. And considering that I have to drive at least twenty minutes to get to an HMV which sells games, and even then they probably won&#8217;t have any copies, it really just doesn&#8217;t seem worth it. And it&#8217;s a shame, because Odin Sphere seems like a game that I would really enjoy. Oh well. Sorry Atlus, I love you and all, but you really have to work on making your games more available.<\/p>\n<p>On the upside, Nintendo is localizing <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Picross_DS\" target=\"_blank\">Picross DS<\/a>! For those who didn&#8217;t know, I am addicted to Picross, and I&#8217;ve been pitching for a Picross DS since long before the handheld even came out. July 30 seems so far away&#8230; I might just be better off importing it and saving myself like a month of waiting.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.torrentialequilibrium.net\/images\/pictar.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center>Also, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Guitar_Hero_80%27s_Edition\" target=\"_blank\">Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks The 80&#8217;s<\/a> might have a stupid name, but the track list is shaping up nicely. Poison! Quiet Riot! Eddie Money! Twisted Sister! More the Police! This is making for a very happy Ryan, I cannot lie. A little pissed that they&#8217;re probably gonna pull a GH2 and release it on the 360 a couple months later with more tracks, but I guess that if there&#8217;s any video game franchise I&#8217;m willing to pay out the ass for, it&#8217;s easily Guitar Hero.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You know what I love?
