Vagrant Story (PSone Classics), yes!

Now, all I need is R4 (releasing in March) and my classics collection is done!

Nothing intrigues me this week - waiting for Dragon Age II next week!

Fight Night Champion is definitely a looker. When you're doing nothing but pretty much rendering 2 people those 2 people can look pretty awesome.

That said the gameplay felt imprecise to me. Round 3 was great, Round 4 felt off, and Champions seems even worse. The animations are now so lifelike that there's a larger delay in input vs. character movement, so I find myself throwing punches 3-4 ahead of what my character is doing. When I stop moving the stick my character throws those extra punches that have "built up" with me playing. The timing has just gotten a bit slower and it's hard to adjust. But you sure as hell can't beat it for realism. Some of the best animations I've seen in a game yet.
