Once again, we in america loose, and Japan wins.
Yep, Konami has officially announced that they will be having a special edition version of the Nintendo DS game Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, will be available through the Japanese Web store, Konamistyle. This little diddy will cost you about 8,830 yen, and that’s approximately $80 in the US. Man, I wish I had that bible-looking vampire killing book. 
The DS has had a huge success here in America, and especially in Japan. Developers have also been keen to developing for it, thus having a bunch of quality games, and if your a gamer, it’s definitely worth owning. Me personally, I would know that it would be hard to pick out the top 31 games, but it’s done, and you should definitely check it out.
Your mom
Your mother worries about you enough as it is, calling you to see if you’re wearing clean underwear and making you meatloaf whenever she gets a chance. Imagine how freaked out she would be if she couldn’t get a hold of you for several days because you were elbows-deep playing Superstar Mode. She’d hate that. So don’t expect her to pick up your copy of Madden for you, sport.
