Following on the prior comments, I don't know how easy it is to change Shacknews stories once posted, but it would be nice, once you've catched your breath from getting these up, is to look around for additional information like if there are PC/PS/Xbox releases planned (several games in this direct did have that like Katamari and Ghost Trick) and perhaps a few more comments (like noting the Tron game is from Mike Bithell)
But its good to have the comprehensive list of titles and videos out first. -
On the lesser known end, really excited for a new Fantasy Life and Sea of Stars. The latter is a very different kind of game than The Messenger the studio did before it but just given the level of polish they put into it seems like it's got real potential.
