Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble 44 Minute Preview
Sunday, September 27th, 2009Persona 3 Portable Japanese Trailer
Thursday, September 17th, 2009
Everything seems so exciting in Japanese. I have no idea what’s happening in the video, but it seems pretty similar to the PS2 version of the game, except that the main character can be female.
Persona 3 Coming to PSP
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009
Persona 3 will be coming to the PSP this year, with Persona 3 Portable. From the pictures, it looks like you’ll be able to choose between playing the game as a male or female. The game will be out in Japan on November 1. No other details are available currently, and no word on a U.S. release (but it’s Atlus, so I’m guessing it’ll make it’s way here soon).

Help Atlus Name Some Game
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009
Atlus is bringing Kenka Bancho 3 (PSP) to North America, but they need a better name then that….and can’t decide on one on their own. Instead, their asking everyone to do their job for them. If you’d like to suggest something (you have to choose from a list of suggestions, kind of lame) then go here . Apparently it’s “a game of street brawling and insult hurling”, sort of looks like River City Ransom in 3D except now you can shoot lasers from your eyes. There’s also a trailer below if you’re interested, it features an awesome theme song that really gets you in the mood to brawl and hurl insults. I personally went with Badass.
Persona Gets Bonus Soundtrack
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009
I want every Atlus game, ever. Not because of the bonus stuff that cames with every game, though, kind of getting bored with just getting video game soundtracks. I mean, I don’t not want them, I just want a little more variety. I would love to see more brass knuckle like extras.

NIS America is running a contest for their upcoming PSP game, Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?. The “Prinny ____, dood Bottle Contest” involves filling in the chat bubbles of a comic with hilarious/creative/etc. text. If you win, you could end up with a rad Prinny water bottle.
R-Type Command Preorder Bonus
Friday, May 2nd, 2008
I was on the fence about if I was going to buy R-Type Command or not. The demo was OK, but I didn’t think I needed the game. Now, I’ve kind of changed my mind. You basically get a totally radical R-9 figurine and I need more stuff to clutter up the apartment.

Crisis Core – Worst Level Up System, Ever
Friday, May 2nd, 2008
I love Final Fantasy VII, VII and III (VI) are my two favorite Final Fantasy games to date. So, any new Final Fantasy VII spin-off game that comes out is always something I’m interested in. Anyway, picked it up over my long absence and I’ve pretty much liked everything about it, the battles are pretty fun, the CG scenes are amazing…but the level up system is seriously pissing me off.
Basically, it’s based (largely) on luck. Three wheels spin around in a slot machine fashion, and if all three land on 7, you level up. I understand that there is a hidden experience counter, and you gain experience per enemy killed, and the more experience you get the more likely you are to level up. However, I’ve gone through a couple “Very Hard” ranked missions and not leveled up at all. It’s frustrating because all I have left are “Hard” or “Very Hard” missions, and I’m not gaining any levels going through these really hard missions.
I mean, whose idea was it to, in my opinion, ruin what could have been a great game by throwing this in? Seriously, does anyone like the idea of randomly leveling up?
