Q On 360

We only want one Xbox 360 game. That game would be Ninety-Nine Nights from Q Entertainment and Kingdom Under Fire developers Phantagram.

We'll assume for now that it has a great electronic dance soundtrack.

Yeah, it is pretty and all, and we welcome Mizuguchi's approach to unfolding drama, but honestly we're bothered. How we will explain this one to our gaming friends? You know, like really explain it. It's so... straightforward.

What about the pseudo-intellectual air we like to adopt when discussing the game art of Mizuguchi? We don't get to name drop Russian abstractionists when describing his new venture? We won't be allowed the opportunity to expound on Japanese club scene culture? That's so not fair!

What's worse is that mainstream gamers might actually buy this game and that's quite annoying. That means we'll never be able to check eBay for Ninety-Nine Nights and gloat with smug satisfaction at how our well our copy has appreciated.

We already hate the next generation! :(
