REVIEW: Persona 3 (PS2)

August 14th, 2007
Mark Julio

It’s been a long wait for Persona fans, but Persona 3 is finally here! Taking a different stylistic approach to the series, the third installment is filled with a gripping story and tons of life like experiences from a typical Japanese high school student. I’ll say it now, before you even read it… Persona 3, so far, is my gaming experience of 2007! Click below to read the full review!

On my newest blog entry you can see some footage on the upcoming Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 , be warned however! There may be SOME spoilers in the video… I basically capped this part of the game to showcase some of the voice acting and interactions between the characters in the game. I honestly think that this is one of the better English voice acting casts in recent history! Well I’ll let you be the judge, check out the video here:

REVIEW: Odin Sphere

May 22nd, 2007
Jason Glick

os

 

I have to admit, I was really looking forward to tackling this one. The advance buzz indicated that it would probably be the sleeper hit of the summer thanks to its fantastic graphics and intense 2D action. Now, after having sunk many hours of my life into it I can say that the buzz wasn’t quite all that. The game is undeniably beautiful, and the 2D action is intense, but the gameplay isn’t varied enough to avoid repetition if you’re hell-bent on playing through all the game has to offer. I’m not saying you shouldn’t buy the game, as I did have a lot of fun with it, but don’t go in expecting “TEH GREATEST CULT HIT EVAR!!1!”

REVIEW: Etrian Odyssey

May 16th, 2007
Nate Aguilera

Atlus’s Etrian Odyssey takes exploring to another level.  The main focus of the game is literally creating your own map on the bottom screen using the stylus.  You begin your adventure by making a guild, making your characters, accepting missions, and then exploring and mapping out the dungeons.

Odin Sphere Impressions!

May 16th, 2007
Jason Glick

odin

As is the case every summer, when the temperature outside starts rising the flow of quality game releases starts drying up. Unless you really like playing games based on the latest summer movie blockbuster, then expect to wait until August before the quality starts ticking up again. It doesn’t mean that there won’t be any good games released this summer, you’ll just have to look a little harder to find them. That’s what “Odin Sphere” is counting on.

Odin Sphere In Action!

Atlus this time has a very very pretty jewel on their hands. After only playing this title for about an hour, all I have to say is, gorgeous. Odin Sphere is just too pretty to look at. The voicing is not that bad either! However, if you have taste for the original Japanese voices, you can simply turn them on during the title menu. Check out the gameplay above!
