I have a weird history with Tales games. They're always really hit and miss with me. I loved Symphonia to pieces, but Vesperia fell a bit flat (I still beat it, though!). I didn't initially cotton to Abyss , but it ended up being one of my favorites. The original is pretty good, and I went through ...

Tales of Vesperia I knew I'd probably like this game, but I had no idea of how much I'd like it. I utterly adored this game. The combat system was great fun, and never felt stale, for all of the 72 or so hours I spent on the game. Especially once you get the 'Combo Plus' skills for Yuri, his combos...

Space Channel 5 I have no rhythm. I can't even fake it. I can play music games like Rez, Amplitude, Frequency, Guitar Hero and Rock Band, but they at least had indications of when to hit it right. Space Channel 5 has none as you need to have some sort of rhythm to keep up with the music. I would hi...

Hello, everyone! I didn't realize this thread existed before I started posting elsewhere, but better late than never! XP I've been using the Racketboy 'Guides' for years without ever really realizing that there was a forum community to go along with it, so I decided it was about time to see what the...

Playing through Tales of Vesperia and loving it! Loving it so much that I went out and picked up Tales of Graces F and Xillia (and Metal Gear Legacy Collection) at the Gamestahp buy 2 get 1 the other day. I remember liking Tales of the Abyss on 3DS when I played it a few years ago, and this is just ...

I'm sorry to hear you didn't like Grimrock, Exhuminator. I can see your complaints, and seeing the games you're coming from, I can see how you didn't like it, but I played it probably two years ago, so I don't have exact memory, but I really enjoyed it. I really like adventure games that reward extr...

My main goal comes down to playing more and buying less. I'm doing okay lately, but over the past couple years I developed the habit of buying games and never even playing them, let alone beating them. I'm okay with not finishing a game I've lost interest in or that isn't engaging enough, but as lon...

I mostly use my Vita as a Spelunky and Binding of Isaac machine. My anime-obsessed sibling already bought the Danganranpa games and Persona 4, as this is the only system we really share between us, but I haven't really tried them yet. It's a really great little machine, but are there any other physi...

Also, Playstation All Stars Battle Royal was hugely fun and had a lot going for it, despite so many dismissing it as a Smash clone. Finally, someone else who agrees! I loved PASBR, and really didn't see with all the entries in the 1v1 fighting game series how so many people thought it was totally u...

Most unfortunately it is true, Brandish on PSP in English is only available digitally. But I hope that doesn't stop anyone from playing that masterpiece. (Granted, you have to be a certain crazy kinda gamer to call such a thing a masterpiece. I suspect most people would hate it, and that's fair eno...
