Video Blips for Jan. 13: Binary Domain, Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition, and more.

How do you make one of Nintendo's best franchises even better? Take cues from another of its best franchises.

Strategy-RPGs can be rather daunting. Hopefully, this quick primer can help you find the starter title that is right for you!

Wherein we discuss snow in San Francisco, Bulletstorm, really messed-up terminology, the Geektionary, Dwayne McDuffie (R.I.P.), Superman’s grooming habits (and badassery), Kryptonite science, Knights of the Dinner Table, Stacking, Half-Minute Hero, Ghost Trick (mild non-spoilers!), Fire Emblem, Nintendo launch wonkiness, Mario Kart, and more.

No, this is not about a game show/turn-based strategy genre mash up. It's about the return of the Ogre series on PSP, and it's also about one little change to a game that has big consequences: the ability to rewind time, both on the battlefield and even to key turning points earlier in the story. That's where the "Wheel of Fortune" comes in.
