Yakuza 2 Coming Stateside!September 20th, 2007Jason Glick |
The original “Yakuza” was one of last year’s hidden gems. While it was a standard beat-’em-up at heart, it turned out to be far more sophisticated and engrossing in its execution. As newly sprung from jail Yakuza Kazuma Kiryuu, you had to find out who set you up all those years ago and what became of your friends in a melodramatic, but still highly entertaing story played out in a meticulously re-created Japanese city.

REVIEW: Atelier Iris 3 — Grand PhantasmMay 29th, 2007Jason Glick |
Let me level with you, this wasn’t a game that I requested to review. The way I wound up with it mainly went like, “Atelier Iris 3, it’s a sequel to a fantasy RPG series I’ve never played before, huh? Well, I’m not looking at anything else at the moment, so go and send it my way. It can’t be that bad.” Sounds like a recipe for disaster, right? Well much to my surprise, I wound up enjoying this game a lot more than I expected to. The turn based battle system and alchemic item creation system have a lot of depth to them, making them really fun to use. Unfortunately the story, and game world aren’t nearly as deep.

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!April 27th, 2007Harry Chang |
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!
