TALES OF XILLIA OFFICIAL ENGLISH TRANSLATION ANNOUNCED So it looks like my instinct to avoid any and all character/plot spoilers for Tales of Xillia just in case Namco decided to localize it turned out to be right. This past week, the upcoming English localization for Tales of Xillia was announced by Hideo Baba. It was[...]
I’ve been in a strangely productive mood lately (read: not playing nearly as many video games as I usually do), which clearly means that something is deeply wrong with my brain. Unfortunately, this also means that I have zero game reviews to contribute here, which is why poor Mento’s been soldiering on alone in that[...]
I did warn you all that I would occasionally leave my RPG comfort zone for something a little more faster-paced and visceral. Sega’s Binary Domain is a near-future (2080! Mark your calendars!) third-person shooter that follows a “Rust Crew” – a SWAT-like task force from a multinational organization called IRTA that monitors and enforces a[...]
Final Fantasy doesn’t really as much play these days. Many JRPG fans first became enamoured of their preferred genre because of the nonpareil output of Square-Enix (then Squaresoft) during the 90s when they released their two most critically-acclaimed games: Final Fantasy VI (or 3 in the US) for the SNES and Final Fantasy VII for[...]
I don’t even know what that title means. Where is the guy? Well, let me tell you, he’s now on the XBox 360. I can’t tell you how excited I was to finally play CDProjektRed’s acclaimed PC-RPG on a system I own that can actually run it. While Witcher II is a sequel (there’s a[...]
I know that it’s terribly uncool of me, but I have to admit to absolutely adoring watching various JRPG combo videos on YouTube. Mostly of Namco Bandai’s Tales Of series, just because the gameplay in those lends itself so perfectly to massive, awesome-looking chain combos finished off with flashy cut-in attacks – as Mento said[...]
In my last post about Eden Eternal, I covered all of the cash shop goodies and the various ways for you to throw money at the game. Today, I’m going to start talking about how to manage in the EE world without spending any real-life money at all! I’m planning on going a bit more[...]
So hey, I haven’t written much lately. My bad. I’ve been super busy (at least in terms of internet blogging about games, which isn’t perhaps busy by any traditional sense of the word) writing about cutting down my Steam backlog in a daily series of blogs on Giant Bomb throughout this month. But whatever, that’s[...]
Well, it’s not much to go off of, but the world has gotten our first tiny sneak peek at what the next game in Namco Bandai’s “Tales Of” franchise may look like: So yeah, nothing too specific, just some pretty concept art. The main image does look like some sort of large city, with (I[...]

So I’ve been getting back into the swing of things with Eden Eternal over this past week, and while I surely don’t know everything, I feel like I am starting to get a handle on some aspects of the game. I’ve mostly been focusing on my character that was already 39; once I hit 40,[...]
Now, I already talked about the fact that I’ll be poking around Eden Eternal – but given that I tend to have a really hard time focusing on only one game, I’m also going to be looking into R2Games’ newest offering, Crystal Saga. I’m not terribly experienced with browser games – well, to be frank,[...]
I have sort of a weird relationship with X-Legend’s Eden Eternal – I initially started playing it when it first launched because Aeria Games, who at the time hosted another game that I was really involved with, was entering every player who got to level 30 into a raffle to win something along the lines[...]

A plasma blast from the past, Doom is an evergreen FPS from once-giants Id Software. It’s about some guy on Mars who shoots all the bad guys. It’s perhaps not a game that requires much of an introduction, though that is not to say that there isn’t a lot going on here. Like any child[...]
