    wow, a 360 game in the top 10...looks like Microsoft made a good move by getting Katamari.

    No surprise that the portables are reigning, every console game has been delayed.

    The only games I'm truly interested are towards the bottom of the list though, and the ones at the top are ridiculously childish, in my opinion.
