"New numbers have come from Famitsu, who has broken down Japanese sales figures on the top 50 Xbox 360 games since launch. None of the results are good. While Blue Dragon, an RPG by famous Final Fantasy developer Hironobu Sakaguchi was indeed Japan's most successful 360 title, it only sold 202,740 copies. (So it would seem Microsoft had the idea right, just not the scale). Dead or Alive 4 comes in at number 2 with 108,618 and Halo 3 is all the way back at spot 4 with 82,987.

So what's the ..."

"Mistwalker's previous Blue Dragon game for the Microsoft Xbox 360 had our three heroes Kluke, Shu, and Jiro teaming up and fighting against Nene, the ancient man behind the yearly attacks which have been going on for ten years on their hometowns."

"The arrival of a certain underwater adventure from 2K Games seems to have finally provided the jump start 2007 needed in terms of banishing the woeful summer months and delivering a decent range of retail choice for the (incredibly patient and) discerning gamer.

The cream of this week's crop arrives in the form of a certain armour-clad heroine courtesy of Nintendo. Yep, sweet Samus makes her first appearance on the Nintendo Wii for the final game in the long-running Metroid series.

"Well, it’s probably wise to avoid spilling into a tirade of joyous expletives, but let’s just say that the long-awaited arrival of a certain watery FPS truly marks the end of the summer and the beginning of an extremely high-quality end of year run in…which starts this week with BioShock, of course, on Xbox 360 and PC.
