Final Fantasy, Finally – Weekly Roundup 3/8

This week sees the long-awaited release of Final Fantasy XIII. Joe seemed to like it, and if nothing else it should keep RPG fans busy for quite some time. If JRPGs aren't your thing, perhaps Yakuza 3 might tide you over. Or you could get the expanded edition of Resident Evil 5. In the world of movies, Green Zone hits theaters. It's not quite another Bourne movie, but it'll do. In a completely unrelated note, I don't read comics because I am an adult. That doesn't prevent me from enjoying each week's list of releases from Image Comics, however. I don't even want to know what these books are actually about, because the titles are even more hilarious without any context. That is all.
