Top gaming rag Famitsu has quizzed its readers as to what games they find themselves dhedding the most tears over, unsurprisingly finding them to be a soppy bunch reduced to tears by the latest overwrought Final Fantasy yarn…
Famitsu’s ranking of Japan’s top 100 best selling games of 2010 has found its way online, and seems to reveal the Japanese gaming market has devolved into a staid mixture of endless RPG franchises and Mario games…

Insipid gaming rag Famitsu has quizzed its readership on who they think the “coolest” video game characters to be, with the list displaying all the taste and discernment that could reasonably be expected of a mob of impressionable schoolboys.

Final Fantasy XIII Tentacle Rape Manga Begs Forgiveness
- Categories: Games, News

- Tags: Censorship, Famitsu, Final Fantasy, Marketing, Parody, Square Enix
Gaming rag Famitsu has issued an apology for publishing “inappropriate” depictions of Final Fantasy XIII in a manga it serialises, though many suspect that in fact Square Enix is upset that the rag failed to earn its advertising payments by being sufficiently worshipful to its properties.

Final Fantasy XIII Denied Perfect Score: “Too Linear”
- Categories: Games, News
- Date: Dec 10, 2009 02:32 JST
- Tags: Famitsu, Final Fantasy, Marketing, Mass Media, Square Enix
Gaming rag Famitsu’s review of Final Fantasy XIII has proven something of an upset, with the game getting 39 of 40 instead of the expected 40, due to the game’s story being “too linear.”
Bayonetta has been awarded full marks (40/40) by top gaming rag Famitsu, but only for the Xbox 360 original. Even Famitsu feels obliged to point out the bungled nature of Sega’s PS3 port, giving it a piffling 38/40.

Chinese Gaming Mag puts Pirate ISOs on Cover Disc

A Chinese gaming rag, 掌机迷, one bearing a striking resemblance to Famitsu, has taken a distinctly Chinese approach to respecting copyright, by helpfully including the full ISO and similar data on its cover disc for the games it is reviewing.

The image you see above came close (third in fact) to topping gaming rag Famitsu’s most popular articles for 2008, being beaten out only by a story on the PSP-3000 and one on SF IV, proving beyond doubt, as if there were any, that Nagato Yuki is vastly more appealing than all but the PSP and Chun Li’s thighs.
Perhaps unsatisfied by this, an unknown Photoshop Master provides a remastered version in higher quality below, but in a mistake worthy of a fail gallery forgets to include the actual bath towel! Almost as bad as Tony…

Famitsu seem to have it in for the Tales series – whilst they have frequently featured the games on their covers, the artist they retain to provide these illustrations leaves much to be desired in a number of areas…
Their new Tales of Hearts cover is but the latest in a long line of such covers:
