Thanks Bitmob, you guys really KICK-ASS!

At first I was going to try Makoto, but it seems like Seth thinks it might be an uphill battle getting in on fools, and I do not want to have to set everything up through grabs on a character that has a hard time closing space. I think I'll try Ibuki because of the ambiguos kunai vortex set-up, but Blanka is and will always be my bread and butter.
Also, PS3

My favorite kick-ass gaming moment of this year comes from God of War 3. The first hour (the Poseiden stage) sets the bar amazingly high, and nothing is more kick-ass than the first time you give a second-person ass beating.

"t of my friends are the types to do most of the side missions and see all the sites, but I actually think that in a lot of games, doing so hurts the immersion. When the world is often in danger, or lives are at stake, or Zelda is held captive, there really wouldn't be time to chase chickens, scan every planet for element zero, or help every village person find their missing cat. To me, doing all of the side quests (and by that, I mean things that aren't beneficial to advancing the central story arc) means you are admitting to playing a video game, rather than immersing yourself fully into the world and your character.
I would love to have found every treasure in Uncharted 2 on the first run, but because the characters were so compelling and the story kept pushing me forward, there wasn't anytime to scour every corner. In RPGs, I don't like to deviate from the main quest because the stakes are usually so dire. When I do take the time to do a few side missions, it usually means the game world and plot aren't engaging enough or it makes me take the story less seriously.
Does that mean I'll probably miss a lot of cool things on the way to the end? Yeah, but if I really love the game, then I'll go back and play it though a second time, doing all the things I missed before. After I've already saved the world"
