Sakaguchi hints at new game over therapeutic LEGO session

Japanese 360 sales: Blue Dragon on top, console sales on the up
It is no secret that the Xbox 360 is not Japan's gaming console of choice. Just look at 2008's software sales and you'll spot just one Xbox 360 game in Japan's top 100. But that doesn't mean Microsoft's Japanese situation is a complete lost cause, because console sales are actually on the rise ...

Blue Dragon: Blurry Beasts of the Underworld
