The first major sleeper hit of the year? Definitely! BlazBlue is also one of the best fighting games of the past decade. Not since Street Fighter III has something played this well. BUY IT!

This is not a hoax or rumor, and we're terribly sad that we actually have to report this. But MJ was an icon and a legend who played major influence in people's lives and the music industry. This is perhaps the biggest blow for music since John Lennon's and, more recently, Freddie Mercury's death.

Just read it. Even this description is too damn long already.
