from siliconera.com by way of digg ............ All hope isn’t lost for action games with guns in Japan. Acclaimed creator of Final Fantasy and now Blue Dragon, Sakguchi-san, said he is a fan of Gears of War. Also you Microsoft spent extra time to polish Epic’s game up with Japanese voiceovers and promote it with an interesting set of viral videos. To say any more about the videos would ruin the surprise. See them below and compare them to the Mad World trailer. What sticks in your mind more?

Zzzzzzzzzz. . .

It's way too easy to check the audio level on YouTube. Predictable.
