'Twas the price drops before Christmas and the column was brief, but Square-Enix delivered with healthy product relief.

Target, Toys R Us and Best Buy got the deals, but this column has the last installment of the Holiday Survival Guide.

A little something for everyone - but mostly Toys R Us shoppers.

Circuit City, Sony Style, and credit card advice.

Deals days before Black Friday? Who'da thunk it?

A little late, but check out the Toys R Us and Amazon deals inside. Also - return policies and you.

If you find a way to play this in public while still looking like a bad mofo, email me.

Square Enix has revealed a new Valkyrie Profile title for the DS in North America, along with three other titles scheduled for release by the end of March.

The first movie for Atlus' recently announced strategy RPG spin-off in the Persona series. No North American announcement so far, but the game's looking to hit Japanese shelves on January 15.

Shiny new name, same old style. Valkyria Chronicles leads the week, despite strong resistance from Warcraft. Also: more holiday shopping guide-dom.

This week: Infinite Undiscovery, Spectral Force 3, Operation Darkness, DS Lites and demos.

It would seem that the three games that the company revealed at TGS alongside Marvelous just weren't enough.

This is the column that saves you the money.

XSeed and Marvelous USA not only are showing off games at the Tokyo Game Show, but they are also announcing brand new localizations.

This week: Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade, Puzzle Quest, Ar Tonelico II, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, and more.

This week: Warhammer online, Guild Wars: Factions, and contests.

Why write about news when others do it for us? In this debut edition of Around the Web, news on Kingdom Hearts: re:Chain of Memories, White Knight Chrinicles, Star Trek Online, and much more.

Interesting, interesting topics came up in our recent interview with Xseed Games PR agent Jimmy Soga. Check inside for the scoop.

Yes, we're going to have things besides Russ' columns posted on a regular basis soon. Promise. In any case, check inside for deals and stuff.
