Xbox 360
Ten years coming, plagued with delays, a terabyte of hate and hype on interweb message boards, one very public lawsuit and two opposing executive windbags postulating on the wherefore of it all, Too Human for Xbox 360 is finally here. If only they'd waited a bit more. Nintendo DS
No way! A minigame collection? How novel. But wait, a minigame collection based on a previously released minigame collection with a couple of new minigames thrown in for good measure? This is gonna be good! Or not. Nintendo DS
