Sony's Rapping Dog Sensation Could Return in the Near Future
From those of you who don't know, before my days of laser sword dominating on Haloand lancer ripping in Gears of War 3 on my Xbox 360, I used to be a huge Playstation gamer. I loved that system and its assortment of games. One of my favorite games was the Parappa the Rappa series. But after Parappa the Rappa 2 on the PS2, we rarely heard from the rappin' dog, save

The Gears of War Series is Doing Great in Japan
So as you know, I like to report how western games are doing in Japan. Usually, when Japan's gaming community are exposed to games made in the west, they usually have a wide range of excitement (from "meh" to "omg that was awesome").

Either way, it is likely that they are probably playing hours after hours of Horde mode, only for their lucky streaks of gameplay to be stopped before they reach the it-will-take-a-miracle-to-survive-this-round

Cultural Differences Prevented Rock Band from Being Huge in Japan
A while back, Rock Band came out of nowhere and exploded in popularity all over the United States, Europe, Australia, nearly everywhere....except for Japan. There must be a reason for why the Harmonix's biggest introduction to music-themed video games didn't make its way to the land of the rising sun.
According to this article on Kotaku, there are several reasons
