March 27th, 2012 gunsage General Overview It’s Shin Megami Tensei as an SRPG on a portable.

The Fantastic World of Japanese Games – Episode 1
January 23rd, 2012 gunsage People who understand emulation, even to a small degree, know all about the fantastic world of translated games that never left Japan.

People that don’t game at all that happen to stumble across our hobby seem to mistake videogames for an actual sport, kiddie toy, the devil, or many, many other things. These are things [...]
RPG of the Year – 2008
July 1st, 2011 gunsage I have to apologize in advance. I don’t own a PS3 or iPod, so there are a few titles here I can’t play that I’m sure you guys are going to dislodge your jaws wondering about. I’m sure Valkyria Chronicles is awesome. There, I said it…but I don’t know personally, so I can’t put it [...]

June 23rd, 2011 gunsage Holy shit damn, what a huge year! 57 games! And yes, there was a Sega Genesis game released this year.

June 21st, 2011 gunsage Now, at first glance, this seems like a huge year. After all, there are 50 games! This was certainly a strong year for RPGs in that there were a LOT, but not so much in terms of quality. I’m confident in my top 5, but the runner ups…oh, the runner ups. ANYWAY, let’s hop right [...]
