Folklore: The Affliction sounds so good, as does Monte Cook's new game. I really should make a trip out to GenCon one of these years.

I am glad that Nintendo is back to doing interesting collaborations but I just can't get excited about Dynasty Warriors. Unless it was Mario. Or Metroid. Or Kirby.

Thanks for reminding me to download this.

Damn you Microsoft. This is one of the 4 or so games I want and am unable to play because I won't get an Xbox One anytime soon.

I mean, it has to be Nyarlothotep, right? I never finished P1 and barely started that PSP remake of 2, but who else could it be?

I did have one of those random encounter things with some people nearby but the giant tank thing was just a major bullet sponge. I was really hoping they would avoid something like that.

Eh, it felt like a glorified dungeon from the first game and I found the dungeon crawling to be the most tedious parts. It's VN-like structure makes sense on their budget but most of the characters end up repeating the exact same things in their inner monologues because so little has changed in the two months

It hasn't clicked with me yet, though I have only given 6 or so hours to it so far. For how gorgeous it looks, there doesn't seem to be enough variety in any of it. All the armor looks similar so far, the few abilities I would have to spice up the combat spend most of their time on cool down and the missions are just

Will get Arena 2 but the story in P4A is awful. I hope that Arena 2 has a bit more substance to it.

Destiny is Destiny. As in, it's okay so far, Only level 6 and I haven't even left Earth, but I haven't been wowed yet.

It's cool that kids today have virtual LEGOS to play with and I imagine that if this came out when I was younger I would have been all over it, but I just find this game incredibly dull.

Silent Hill was just disappointing rather than terribly so, it actually had good set design and managed to capture a lot of the atmosphere in the first half before the stupid came in the second. Had they not tried to follow the game so closely (Yet oddly not enough) and made it more of a stand alone like Silent Hill 2

Insomniac is helping with the script, so there's that.

My hero.

Honestly, it was pretty cool to see clothing take damage like that and at some point I would like that to be a standard rather than an outlier, but even I can't gloss over it was only done just to add some more T and A to a series that didn't really need it that explicitly.

The Third Birthday was pretty good except for being related to Parasite Eve in any way. It's story was pretty terrible even relative to the genre's low standards.

Parasite Eve is definitely rough around the edges (PS1 RPGs tend to be) but I think it's aged considerably better than many of its contemporaries. I played it for the first time in 2010 and I absolutely loved it. Aya shot to near the top of my list of favorite characters in a matter of scenes.

While in the west nameable composers are few and far between, Japan and it's incredibly proud tradition of great video game music has made quite a few names for itself: Uematsu, Shimomura, Hamauzu, Meguro, Mitsuda…

"Terra" is so great as a overworld theme I still hum it to this day.

Started playing it recently and I have admittedly been letting it sit on the main menu longer than it should.
