Yeah, this seems to be a problem, but there are some things to keep in mind here:

- This is not an official announcement from Sony, so we don't actually know what's going on. I'd wait for that announcement before getting too upset.

- The PS3's game library is lacking because it's been on the shelves a year less than the 360. While that doesn't excuse the currently sparse library it has, I think we'll see it at least shorten the gap between the two system's game libraries in the coming year or so.

- You can still find a plethora of these systems online anyway...I got my 60 GB PS3 a few months ago for less than the price of a 40 GB one. I know online is a lot less reliable, but many 60 and 80 GB systems are still floating around, and I don't think the supply is low enough for the price to start going up again.

That all being said, I sincerely hope the PS3 is not completely getting rid of BC, because I'd hate to see it drive so many people away with a somewhat arbitrary move. Instead of the intended consequence (more PS3 games bought), it might just mean that fewer people get a PS3, which in the long run I think will hurt their profits more. I have gotten five PS3 games since getting my PS3, but I've also bought a couple PS2 games and still play the PS2 games as well, and plan on buying more in the future. Getting the BC allowed me to give my PS2 to a friend of mine who's PS2 broke down, and thus actually allowed me to keep someone else playing a Sony system as well. Without that, they'd have possibly lost that person's business, as well as some of mine.

In hindsight, I tend to give Chrono Cross around a 5.5/10. Now, this is probably biased by the fact that Chrono Trigger is one of my absolute favorite RPGs, and my expectations for Chrono Cross were through the roof. However, the story connections to the first game were tenuous at best, and I was almost offended that they were included...it was like they made a whole different game (albeit with some similar ideas), and then decided to throw in some elements from Chrono Trigger so they could market it better. Now, I know the Final Fantasy games are not directly connected, but no one claims that they are. Chrono Cross purported to be the sequel to Chrono Trigger, which is where the problem comes in for me.

As for other factors, the story was decent but not great, the character development seemed fairly shoddy for most of the characters, and the difficulty of the game was almost non-existent (I died maybe three times the first time I played through, and two of those deaths were on the same battle). For me, this game and FF VIII represent Square's low-water mark in the RPG market.

i didn't even know he made that movie, i guess i wont be seeing this movie anymore.towie777

I'm sure that's a common sentiment...his name alone seems to induce cringing among some people. He alone has the dubious honor, in my mind, of making the original Super Mario Brothers movie (the one with Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, and Dennis Hopper) look good.

And Alone in the Dark's 1.7 and $6 million earnings (which probably barely covered how much it cost to make) have made it eligible for a straight-to-DVD sequel, being produced by Mr. Boll. He won't direct it, but it doesn't matter. How do horrible, horrible movies, that critics tore apart verociously and moviegoers didn't even bother to see, get sequels? What are some of these people on that makes them think this is a good idea?

Also, One Missed Call still managed a 2.4 average with that 0%, managed to garner a 15% from the users, so it still is up there with In the Name of the King. The good news is, this year can only go up from here.

If you sort it by rating, it doesn't look so bad.

2.5 out of 4, 3 out of 5, 2 out of 4, 2 out of 5...

Okay, it still looks bad, but not as bad as 3%. :)

The average rating the critics gave it on rotten tomatoes was a 2.4/10, which is pretty damn bad. The users actually gave it an 11% fresh rating, although their average rating was an abysmal 2.1/10. It's already an early contender for worst movie of the year (although I haven't seen it, so I can't personally say).
