The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human2016

4 out of 5 starsJan 31, 2016

The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human is a pretty straight-forward journey through the flooded remains of Planet Earth, but it's incredibly satisfying. It scratches a bit of the Metroid-Vania itch, but in a more streamlined fashion. It's mostly about the boss fights and damn if they aren't cool!

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES2007

4 out of 5 starsFeb 2, 2011

The PS2 being a dying console, it can be hard for gamers to have confidence in it. Most developers have moved on to greener pastures, while others are still putting out garbage titles because they know they'll gain at least a tiny bit of money from it. Sometimes, the occasional gem shines through all this leftover pile of vaporware. Persona 3:FES is pretty much what we'd call an expansion pack for Persona 3. It has…
