All of thatgamecompany's games will be sold on one disc.

An awkward interface and limited functionality hinder this otherwise creative music game.
Playing Jam Live Music Arcade distinctly reminded me of my time with the DS title, KORG-DS 10 Plus. While the two aren’t exactly the same, Jam Live Music Arcade provides the ability to play with song arrangements using a variety of samples, encouraging players to creatively jam out. However, Jam Live Music Arcade makes the mistake of cramming in an uninspired arcade mode that needlessly mimics the popular rhythm games of this generation, like Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
Capcom's critically acclaimed adventure is about to get a bit more beautiful.
Originally released last generation, Okami took the gaming community by storm. The Zelda-esque adventure offered a unique take on an ancient Japanese tale, beautiful graphics, original gameplay, and a cast of memorable characters. Before long, players were able to intuitively paint with the celestial brush on Nintendo's Wii. Though a great rendition of the now-classic title, today, Capcom has announced what should be the best version of the game yet.
Available now for the PC, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo 3DS.
Available now for the Xbox 360 to be played with Kinect.

AKA Nintendo Circus, depending on who you ask
Like many of you out there, I wasn’t terribly impressed by Nintendo’s press conference at this year’s E3. One of the things they touted as being a major showpiece was a game called Nintendo Land. Much like Wii Sports, the aim of this title is to introduce players to a new controller--in this case the Wii U GamePad--through a virtual theme park bursting with references to classic Nintendo franchises. At each attraction, your mii will don an appropriate costume and partake in a challenge that teaches the player a new way to use the Wii U GamePad. Nintendo’s hope is that this game will do for the Wii U what Wii Sports did for the Wii, and explain to new players exactly what the Wii U is all about.
