All reviewsAzure Striker Gunvolt2014
1 out of 5 stars"JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, this is DOGSHIT. Piece of FUCKING GARBAGE ASS TRASH. Motherfucker. Anus on a stick with tiger sauce. Oh my dear JESUS, god FUCKING DAMMIT!" -- me, playing this game There's a game out there called Azure Striker Gunvolt, and it wants you to think it belongs to the pedigree of Mega Man, specifically the decent-to-fantastic Mega Man games developer IntiCreates has made in the past, but it is not…
Shin Megami Tensei IV2013
4 out of 5 starsThe game's nameless silent protagonist, Flynn Objectively, Shin Megami Tensei IV is a great game. It successfully modernizes key gameplay mechanics that have stagnated since the watershed release of Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne and introduces a unique, wonderfully-rendered rendition of a demon -beset Tokyo with amazing aural fidelity. For the Shin Megami Tensei neophyte, it’s easy to recommend as a definitive entry…
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers2012
3 out of 5 starsDon’t call it a comeback…but the 3DS release of Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers takes a sort-of dated 1997 Saturn RPG and sort-of includes enough new features to make it playable in 2013. It has a good cast and interesting story, demons up the wazoo, and that classic 90s Shin Megami Tensei tone you just don’t see anymore. On the other hand, it retains a lot of clunky baggage from a bygone era that won’t pass without…
Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together2010
5 out of 5 starsTactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together takes an outmoded, but influential, tactical RPG and overhauls it almost completely, in the process making it one of the premier RPGs on the PSP. Originally developed for the Super Famicom in 1995 by Quest, the now-defunct studio of lauded director Yasumi Matsuno, Tactics Ogre did much to establish standards in the turn-based strategy genre, only for those ideas to result in its…

Mar 17, 2010
I’ll say it outright: Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey is not only one of the best games in the series, but a top contender for best DS RPG as well. I’ve beaten the Japanese version four times across 200 hours of playtime and enjoyed just about every moment of it. So much so, I can’t wait to do it all over again in English next week. I reviewed the game a while ago here , and in most ways th...
SMT: Strange Journey - Ankle-deep in the Schwarzverse
Oct 12, 2009
I'm five hours in and I just cleared the first area in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey. My expectations for it were sky-high and so far it's lived up to them and then some. As I get my head wrapped around all the awesome, here are some general thoughts. Plot Even though I can't read Japanese, it's easy to infer just how interesting the plot is. The basic concept of a specialized team explor...
