Pokemon Black and White to feature entirely new cast
You know, this is the best thing I’ve read all day. All week, even. Pokemon Black and White’s gambit is that every Pokemon you get until you beat the Elite Four (I assume there’ll be an Elite Four) will be

Fallout: New Vegas digs at JRPGs

Review: Dragon Quest IX
I’ve been sitting on this review for a while now. Not because I have many strong feelings about Dragon Quest, IX in particular, but because it’s a game that is so flabbergastingly difficult to discuss. It’s the Level 5 problem:
