Good to see Tales from Space in the Top 3 for Vita as that is exactly where it deserves to be.

Such a good game.

The only reason I'm holding off on Plants Vs. Zombies is that I have it for free on my PS3 via Plus, along with it's awesome cooperative mode.

I disagree with their Escape Plan comment. I got it on day one, but the game is just simply ok. I think you're better off putting the money elsewhere or waiting for better content. It's aggravating that the game grades you on number of inputs and false registers on the back touch panel count against you.

It's a neat game with a great art style, but the execution is a little sloppy and it drags in quite a few sections.

I think Walking Dead would be #1 if they combined the Season Pass sales with the Ep 1 sales.

I thought the concept for I am alive was pretty cool even from the demo, I could see people buying it just to see what happens and wanting to play more of it, but I'm surprised it's number 1 on the chart

I am alive seemed interesting when I checked out the gaf thread after it released. Seems to be a flawed but interesting experiment.

What are people seeing in I Am Alive? It has some neat ideas but it was boring and looked bland imo. It felt pretty 'budget' for a game that have been in development for so long.

Festival of Blood hasn't been out of the top 10 all year has it? Must be doing fairly well for Sucker Punch. Hope we get another InFAMOUS PSN sidestory and they make a new IP or something :)

Will FFVII ever stop selling?

Not anymore it doesn't. They changed that in the latest patch. Ratings are purely time based now, AFAIK

I think disgaea is up there because it was actually hard to find in the stores, they didnt ship many copies for sure.

HOTD4 in top 5 is good for SEGA's digital plans. The port is also very good and Move compatibility is great.

Happy for Journey - my GOTY for 2012.

I've also got I Am Alive - there was some PSN+ price reduction.
