The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What players say

Players are split on Final Fantasy XIII. Many praise the battle system and music but warn the game is extremely linear and the combat only gets interesting about 12 hours in. The PC port is widely called broken, requiring community patches to run.
