The scores are in from this week's Famitsu, the game industry magazine that takes it upon itself to autocratically set the standard and impressions of newly released games in Japan. There's good and bad news for everyone's favorite Final Fantasy mascot, the Chocobo. The good news: its score is higher than Dirge of Cerberus; the bad news: only by 5...
