I played the video game version of <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/clash-of-the-titans">Clash of the Titans</a> </em>for around seven hours and, according to the game, have finished 31 percent of it.<br />
<br />
This would usually be unsatisfactory for a review, but in much the same way you'd only need to poll a small percentage of the population before you could confidently say that <em>no one</em> likes seeing immediate family members hit in the face with a ball-peen hammer, I feel like I've pretty much got the lay of the land here.<br />
<br />
This is a very bad game.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[J Lynch: "It seems like every week when were trying to figure out who to pick as the CBotW, we end up looking to the fighting genre because game designers have intentionally made the female characters of that genre appear over the top (and quite often in the top area). Instead weve looked to the action genre and plucked a character from the world of games based on cartoons and movies. While games based on licensed materials rarely satisfy, we think our pick this week for the Cosplay Babe of the Week does a good job."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/07/29/nintendo-reports-latest-quarterly-earnings-3ds-launch-date-and/"><img hspace="0" border="1" vspace="0" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2010/07/mariogalaxysales716-1280416216.jpg" /></a></div>
Nintendo has announced it financial earnings for the second quarter in its Fiscal 2011, running from April 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010. Net sales, operating income and net income all saw declines compared to the same time last year. Net sales were down to 188 billion yen ($2.16 billion) from 253 billion yen ($2.9 billion), while operating income and net income saw less dramatic shifts, down to 23 billion yen ($264 million) and 25 billion yen ($287 million) from 40 billion yen ($460 million) and 42 billion yen ($483 million) last year, respectively. Nintendo attributes these losses to the appreciation of the yen and a lower DS price point.<br />
<br />
3.15 million DS units and 22.42 million units of DS software were sold worldwide during this quarter. On the Wii side, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/super-mario-galaxy-2"><em>Super Mario Galaxy 2</em></a> managed to be the big performer, selling 4.09 million units worldwide since its launch in late May. 3.04 million Wii consoles were sold, backed by 28.17 million units of Wii software worldwide. As far as forecasted earnings go, Nintendo anticipates net sales of 550 billion yen ($6.3 billion) by the end of September 2010 and 1.4 trillion yen ($16 billion) by the end of its Fiscal 2011, March 2011.<br />
<br />
It'll be interesting to see how those earnings are affected by Nintendo's upcoming <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/3ds">3DS</a> hardware launch.

Nintendo has announced it financial earnings for the second quarter in its Fiscal 2011, running from April 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010. Net sales, operating income and net income all saw declines compared to the same time last year. Net sales were down to 188 billion yen ($2.16 billion) from 253 billion yen ($2.9 billion), while operating income and net income saw less dramatic shifts, down to 23 billion yen ($264 million) and 25 billion yen ($287 million) from 40 billion yen ($460 million) and 42 billion yen ($483 million) last year, respectively. Nintendo attributes these losses to the appreciation of the yen and a lower DS price point.<br />
<br />
3.15 million DS units and 22.42 million units of DS software were sold worldwide during this quarter. On the Wii side, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/super-mario-galaxy-2"><em>Super Mario Galaxy 2</em></a> managed to be the big performer, selling 4.09 million units worldwide since its launch in late May. 3.04 million Wii consoles were sold, backed by 28.17 million units of Wii software worldwide. As far as forecasted earnings go, Nintendo anticipates net sales of 550 billion yen ($6.3 billion) by the end of September 2010 and 1.4 trillion yen ($16 billion) by the end of its Fiscal 2011, March 2011.<br />
