When you're the big boss of a major third party publisher that's responsible for some of the biggest and best-looking franchises in gaming, people listen to what you have to say about gaming technology. Speaking with the Financial Times, Square Enix big man Yoichi Wada shared a few words on the motion control technology surrounding the 7th gen consoles. His take? Wada-sama seems unimpressed.

Starting today, July 8th, all the way until August 2nd, take a few minutes to browse through GameStop and you're gonna find thousands of games, both new and used, all at US$ 20 or less. Talk about a huge sale.

This year's E3 was truly one for the books. After the busy week we had last week, we here at QJ.NET decided to do a little digging to look for 25 excellent games under US$ 25 that were released last year in honor of this year's E3. If you just recently acquired your 7th gen console or handheld or if you're just looking for a great game to add in your collection, maybe you can take a look at these games.

Target just announced that their new preorder program will give you GiftCards upon claiming your reserved games, giving you a little bit of honey for your money. It's like getting a mini-refund or a rebate as a reward for your reservation. Details after the link.
