Hello again Destructiod! This is the third Episode of my review series on Japanese games called "Very Japanese Games". The focus of this series is to look at games that were never released outside of Japan and introduce them to people who ...

First, I want to give a huge thanks to everyone who commented on my last blog. I took what everyone said into account and put it towards improving the second episode. It’s not exactly where I want it to be but it should be an improvement ov...

This is the first episode of my new gaming series “Very Japanese Games”, in which I look at games that only got releases in Japan. I realize the quality is pretty bad at the moment but hopefully, as I got along and get better at this whole ...

  *I was a bit busy over the weekend so I didn’t actually even turn on either of the HD consoles but I did finally finish up Devil Survivor on the DS. I haven’t actually gotten much use out of my DS but this game made it worth having. I fin...

5 Gaming Bullet Points: PSP edition   Sort of branching off a thread I started yesterday, I’m going to go over some reasons why or why not to buy the PSP. I’m kind of on the fence as it’s still an expensive purchase here in Tokyo (much more...

  These are essentially 5 random bullet points on gaming topics. I’m hoping to do this regularly.   * I haven’t really been a Nintendo fan since the SNES though I have owned every Nintendo console up until this point. I’m not particularly e...

With already a month down for 2011, the games that are coming out are starting to pick up in terms of my want list.   While I played a ton of games in 2010, 2011 is shaping up to have a never-ending stream of new games to play. I went throu...
