Almost stuck this in the Japanese music topic, but by virtue of the fact that I first heard it in a game I'll put it here. Still one of my favorite PSP games too. Top 5, probably. And the soundtrack is excellent even beyond the intro (I actually imported the soundtrack before playing the game...

Well this looks about as bland as a superhero movie can be. Funny how everyone is hyped up for Captain Marvel when seriously no one ever gave a shit about her/him in the comics (she really ought to be Ms. Marvel, but I guess directly identifying gender in her name would be sexist or...

Jeez, next month? Talk about last-minute announcements. Cool though. I played about 20 or 30 hours of it on PS3 last year, I think, and meant to come back to it eventually. Should look nice on PC.

Onimusha.

I think the only one I haven't played before is Battle Circuit. But I'll definitely be getting this either way. Nothing but 90s gold in there.

So the PS4 Spider-Man is pretty great. Not perfect by any means. Took me a long while to really get into the combat; something about it just feels a little more finicky than the Arkham games (which are obviously the main influence). Regardless, the web swinging is excellent (if a tiny bit...

Ooooooh, shit, you're right. I totally forgot, it wasn't Square, but rather Hironobu Sakaguchi right around the time he'd left Square. That's where I got mixed up. Yeah, maybe just playing the original will be the only way to go. I don't have a whole lot of drive to get another Microsoft console...

Eh, as someone who's been playing these games since 2005, I'm personally pretty burnt out on it. If they do something based far in the past (far enough that the look and layout could be massively different) then I'd be fine with more Kamurocho, but as it is I'm more on the side of feeling a bit...

On the subject of remasters of 360 games, if SquareEnix is doing this one, I kind of hope they'll also do Lost Odyssey at some point. Another one I never played, but I never hear anything but praise about. I could haul out the old 360 and just buy the original, but it'd be nice and convenient to...

Kojima didn't have his hands tied. If anything, he was continually given extreme leeway by Konami. But he is, to some extent, a perfectionist, which means he's rarely completely happy with what he's done. He always thinks it can be better. So he keeps working and working during a project...

Oh, shit... I was seriously just looking at this on Steam not too long ago, thinking I might like to finally play it. But when I looked for it more recently, it had been removed. Guess we know why, now. I never played it, but from what I always heard about the 360 version it sounded like this...

Gahdang. I'm not much of a fighting game buff, but they inexplicably always catch my attention anyway. SNK seems to do that all the time. Samurai Shodown was one of many SNK arcade machines I used to come across when I was a kid, so there's some nostalgia attached. And so much of this almost...

Oh damn... this isn't the VR game? So they're actually making a legitimate sequel to the Gungrave series alongside that? Count me the fuck in. First two games are a blast. Hopefully this might also point toward a remaster of those two. Haven't even seen the anime, though I should probably get...

FINALLY something new. Hasn't even been that long, but the wait to see anything more substantial out of this seemed like forever. As far as actual new, original games go, this is pretty much top of the list for me (most other stuff I'm really looking forward to is remaster/remake). Those english...

Preordered this. And holy shit... they even went with the box art from the original release. Nostalgia city.
