Man. Man o’ man. I have been waiting for this game forever. Ever since Atlus had Super Dodge Ball as a launch title for the GBA I have been waiting for this. I’m commented in numerous columns how much I’ve been waiting for the day this game would be out. I’ve giggled like a schoolgirl […]

The original version of this game is in my Top Ten RPG’s of all time. Although some people will quibble and say Fire Emblem came first, Nintendo of […]
Man, has it really been a little over a year since I played the very first Shining Soul? Back then, the game got a 6.0 and introduced the concept of 6.5 = better than average not “Pile of shit because we’ve been paid to inflate our ratings to the point where a game getting a […]

WRONG. I’m a Sonic fan. Fanboys are […]
Wow. It’s been a long time since I picked up this game. And this is by far my favorite Square series. I first picked this game up on a flight to my moms when in the winter of 1991. This was before Final Fantasy had the big “overrated pile of crap’ label I have placed […]
Right. I’ve had this game for over a month. I’ve tried to review it. I honestly, honestly have. But I can’t do it. It’s too hard. I trusted Natsume. They’ve never steered me wrong before. They gave me Harvest Moon. They gave me Legend of the River King. They gave me Wizardry: Summoner. For god’s […]

Alright people! It’s finally here! A Shin Megami Tensei game. IN ENGLISH! Something I’ve been waiting for Years. And truth be told, I never thought this day would come. The subject matter is almost taboo in the US thanks to how prevalent Christianity is here. That generally rules out most of the games. Many years […]
