Odin Sphere is a stylish 2D Side-scrolling Brawler for lack of better ways to describe it. Disgaea is a hilarious, albeit Japanese/Anime-ins...

I'm actually a robot. True story. I don't mind "OMG IMMERSION" and stuff ... but not at the expense of "fun." That is, if I end up frustrated, I tend to go my numbers route instead. I love SRPGs for this, I suppose, since I can always make due with "superior strategy" a...

Huh ... silly Japan. RIZ-ZOAWD (DS) Trailer:

BET I KNOW HOW THE GAME ENDS.

It's not that she's younger than me that gets me ... just the fact she so totally destroys me at DS rhythm games (ie, Ouendan she's pretty much full 300'd or whatever. I can barely get through some of them. My timing with that just seems WAY the fuck off). The age thing is irrelevant really. FE DS -...

Can't be helped; Obata IS in charge of the character design. Where's my Akari damn it! Hikaru no Go had some nice character designs too ... though a lot got reused for Death Note anyway. Serene was my best fighter ... which makes sense as she has the highest STR of them all. Plus she uses Scythes an...

I probably totally cheesed my playthrough of Riviera by waaaay overusing Practice battles until I maxed out skills for weapons. Also, Fiaa is adorable though I liked Cierra more ... actually, I liked them all so whatever. I actually had a hard time picking my group due to this :( As for voices, they...

Oh shit, you mean the Black Wyrm thing during Stage 2? It's supposed to blow you away. You're not meant to kill it in one fight; takes usually two or three shots, though I'd say you should be able to do it in two tries ... though getting blown away twice unlocks another [Quest] mode thing for some b...

I don't remember a Gale Dragon, to be honest. I remember the Boulder Dragon early in the game but that's about it. If it's that, Ledah's Overdrive is useless here so just stick to Ectchel's. Also, if you get the Dragon Killer earlier (was an event with a sword in the ground, if I recall) then this f...

Edit: Removed; Dell went back on the deal and bumped the price to $450 and retroactively charged $450 to the previous orders. Oh well. $299 for an Elite with the Falcon chipset (ie, RRoD is pretty much not happening barring you being a total moron) was totally fucking awesome sauce.

Infinite Undiscovery screenshots I still have no idea what undiscovery entails but I'll probably pick this up Day 1 and go about my merry way undiscovering things. Or discovering things to then undiscover them. Or ... something. Edit: Also, Tales of Vepseria hi-ougis . Rita's (the caster one mid-wa...

Funny. My sister (15 as well) is the one who first mentioned School Days and reminded me of Higurashi; I'm kind of saddened by this. She's also far better than me at rhythm games and it's sad and depressing :( Half the reason I wanted a PS3 at release was so she could use my PS2 (or donating it to a...

More confused. STR and TEC are just Damage things. Provoke, Fortify, and every other non-damaging Skill in the game is unaffected by TEC (and STR). The ONLY thing TEC works on is Alchemist Spell Damage, Healing Spells, Spell Accuracy, and General Accuracy (though AGI is more effective). It is also t...

TEC does nothing for Ronin damage; all their skills are STR based. This applies to all skills for all classes that use STR. Only the Alchemist spells use TEC for Damage (and, well, Healing spells use TEC too). And TEC will have an effect on Accuracy but AGI is more effective (I think 4 TEC ~= 1 AGI)...
