So yeah, Etrian Odyssey 3 is out, and with it comes the glorious caress of Yuzo Koshiro's music on our ears. Dance with the Stratum guardians to this melody:

Gotta say that this is going to be one of my favorite E3 conferences of all time. I don't even consider the cringe-worthy demonstration of Skyward Sword as a downer, because (as I predicted, by the way) on the hands-on reports, even the N...

So I finally got back around to picking up Final Fantasy XII again. After a short bit of re-acclimating myself to the game, I progressed to the end of the Eruyt Village chapter, which I thought was rather neat. Fran's farewell in particul...

Junichi Nakatsuru is a name not commonly recognized in the video game landscape. Whenever the discussion of elite video game composers arises, you'll never see his name listed, either. Which is a shame. Nakatsuru works for Namco, and he'...

A little birdie has told me that in the latest Nintendo Power issue and in Atlus's official twitter, they have confirmed Etrian Odyssey 3: The Drowned City, will be coming to Amer'ca. Joyous songs of praises ring as they commonly do, in hon...

So I finally jumped on the bandwagon and got RDR, and so far I'm really liking it. I've already died once and as a result ended up going in a completely different direction than before I was slain (who knew putting up your dukes was enough ...

Ironically, Jim Sterling (who usually earns my ire) basically summed up my feelings about Final Fantasy XIII in his review, so I think I'm done trying to put up with the game after having only gotten about six or seven chapters in. (I disag...

A lot of people can justify their affection towards something with an answer of intangibles. "It's just good," or "I just do." These answers are great all on their own, but I've always been one for argumentation, so I always shoot for a way...

While bad voice acting rightfully gets the living tar kicked out of it, I must admit that I am very appreciative of bad voice acting for the limitless laughs it provides us. My PSN friends and I dick around while playing deathmatch by pulli...

The words "Final Fantasy" have been buzzing across the Internetz, all surrounding the U.S. release of Final Fantasy XIII. But it's not this new blockbuster which I'm playing--no, I'm playing an important game in my backlog, the Final Fanta...

Why the hell can't I use the rest of the Mercenaries crew?! I buy this to find out I can't pair up Tribal Sheva and Heavy Metal Chris? Come on Capcom, I know you're greedy as fuck, but come on. Would it REALLY be that hard to make a super M...

Vanquish, Shinji Mikami's upcoming HD project, recently got some press in Famitsu, where we got some scans for a handful of in-game images. The game is confirmed to be a third-person shooter, and in particular, when Shinji was asked to des...

As I posted on the forum... "So it would seem that there's a huge problem with PlayStation Network. I was playing Heavy Rain about twenty minutes ago, and my game froze and crashed. "Oh well," I figure, "I have an old PS3, I'll just let it...

The quick-time event has become an object of increasing attention what with the impending release of Heavy Rain, a game that is in essence a giant series of quick-time events strung together. However, even before Heavy Rain, quick-time eve...

For all the complaints we hear of video game commercials that only show cinema rather than gameplay, we nevertheless are at a high point in how video game commercials should be advertised. Microsoft led the charge with the now-famous "Mad ...

Some Japanese savant (judging from the Youtube account's info) has uploaded a marvelous arranged version of "Chipster Dash," better known as the music which plays in the first game when Travis dreams of playing Pure-White Tiny Giant Glaston...

So in case you frauds posing as Mega Man fans missed it, the Zero series of GBA fame are being compiled onto a DS collection, releasing in Japan this April. The Zero franchise not only features beautiful art unique among the franchise, but...

So the over-the-shoulder shooter--err, slasher--Zangeki no Reginlev is set to release in Japan for the Wii next month, and some of its soundtrack has leaked onto Youtube. Though the game itself doesn't look particularly mindblowing, its mus...

True to No More Heroes fashion, the teaser is a whopping 16 seconds in length. Oh well, any NMH is good NMH. At least artist Yusuke Kozaki is getting more work, since he was commissioned to draw more character portraits. Speaking of Koza...

PlayStation blog PlayStation Lifestyle has done some rumormongering, bringing attention to a page in the latest Official PlayStation Magazine. The magazine is predicting that the next installment of Tecmo's Dead or Alive series will appea...

The new year has dawned upon us, but there's no reason to stop the list wars fun. For today, I'll list what I believe were the most remarkable video game soundtracks of the year 2009. In no particular order.... 7th Dragon 7th Dragon is ...

Unlike many other gamers, I actually have quite a small set of personal demands I'd love to see answered in the new year. As a poor, busy college student, gaming time is rare for me unless it's between semesters. Because of this, I only g...

The decade has come to a close, and what a decade it has been for video games. In the spirit of things, I've put together my own best of the best list, although this is not a so much a treatise on game progression through the decade so much...

So we know about the Pirate, Monk, Shinobi, Phalanx, and Royalty; but there were still five other classes' artwork that was there, like a vixen giving us a come-hither-stare. This week's Famitsu magazine finally shed light on the other clas...

They fight with so much style.
