    Every JRPG fan should visit Artnia Cafe, a Square-Enix themed cafe in Shinjuku. It’s a great time. I picked up some great Dragon Quest gear and Final Fantasy items during my visit.

  • So I bought at 2DS

    I purchased a 2DS along with Pokemon Y on launch date. I wanted to buy a 3DS, but never found it to be in a price range that I find reasonable for a portable gaming console, especially considering my distaste for 3D-anything. The 2DS sold at $129.99 was not a painful purchase. The 2DS feels…

  • What I’m playing 3/22

    First off, I think everyone should read these two interviews on Hardcore Gaming 101 on two Metal Gear Solid translators: Jeremy Blaustein and Agness Kaku.

    Snatcher is one of my favorite games of all time and in my opinion one of Hideo Kojima’s best masterpieces. Although I owned a Sega CD during its short lifecycle, I did not play Snatcher until years later once it gained a cult following. You can ready my Gamespite article on Snatcher that I wrote…
