We’ll keep it here for giggles. :/ Read more

Oh man. Let’s hope so. :/ Read more

Nah, I think they want to promote it to kids who like Big Hero 6. Or just kids who like robots. Read more

DOH. Fixing, thnx!! Read more

I haven’t heard of that. Would be confusing, no? But maybe different ratings for a director’s cut? Not sure. Read more

Until it becomes a regular occurrence, I’m going with “just random.” :/ Read more

I’m amazed a Square Enix countdown clock delivered a big title like this. I was expecting the same as you! Read more
