I'm lucky I'm from such a backwater little town, no one knew what it was. I actually hid it in the store the first time I saw it because I didn't have my wallet on me. Came back the next day, and it was still under the basket where I left it!"

"Finding Ogre Battle 64 in a clearance bin for 5 bucks was one of the greatest gaming days of my life. Still have it to this day"

"Couldn't agree more. I really, really wanted to like FFXIII, and I gave it 15 hours to prove itself before I eventually traded it back in for Borderlands. It was really promising at first. I wasn't expecting much in terms of story or characters (this is the pinnacle of derivative melodrama after all, not Bioshock), so I really can't fault it for that. What killed me was, as interesting as all the systems put in place are, and as beautiful as it looks, it never actually lets the player play the damn thing.

"Benedict Anderson's "Imagined Communities" seems like an appropriate text to refer to for this kind of discussion.

"ll haven't unwrapped my copt of Digital Devil Saga 2 (working on the secret bosses in DDS1 and I forgot about the game until right now). My favorite (Japanese) game series period. All the RPG's I will ever play will unfortunately be compared to Nocturne, and will be found wanting. Dark, minimalistic, brutal difficulty, grindy, plus a glowy tatooed capris pants wearing immaciated half demon with a hair cut like astro boy. Incre"

"sona 4 is (somewhat surprisingly) rife with issues involving sexuality, and I felt that it did an incredible job of addressing them through both dialogue and symbolism. There is a mixture of subtlety and overtness in the narratives of Kanji, Naoto, Yukiko, Rise, and even Chie, that tackle the many facets of sexuality as part of a larger emotional picture. None of the characters is defined by their sexual identity, but the writers were very careful to make sure that it was explored. In that sense, Persona 4 had some of the most "human" characters I've ever come across in a"
