"Let's Play a Video Game!" : Shin Megami Tensei - Persona 3

So here's my shot at something somewhat unfamiliar to me: an RPG with Japanese high-school elements, simulating a social… simulator. Persona 3.

"Let's Play a Video Game!" : Metal Gear Solid

First Person Shooter (FPS for short) games like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2 or Halo Reach. Have you played either of the mentioned or, well, any FPS games in general? How about Third Person Shooters? How about games like Splinter Cell? What about the 1987 Metal Gear? How about the Metal Gear Solid series?

If you have played FPS games or MGS's 2 thru 4, Portable Ops, PO+ and Peace Walker, I'm going to tell you that those sniping skills won't help you much here in Metal Gear Solid. If you have played Third Person Shooters, good for you, they'll help out somewhat. If you have played the original Metal Gear, man, you won't have much problem with this game. You're good to go if you've played it.

The Sublimely Magnificent Jecht Alt 5

Warning, this sublimely magnificent story contains sublimely magnificent, if not magnificently sublime, amounts of sublimely magnificent mentions of The Sublimely Magnificent Jecht and his sublimity and magnificence. The mentions are so magnificent in numbers, that it is actually inside the now sublimely magnificent labels.

Ghost Stories

Ghost Stories (or 学校の怪談) is an anime that supposedly falls under the horror genre, as seen from the animation, making it a great choice to watch at midnight, with doors and curtains shut and lights off. However, its original Japanese dub just wasn't as, well, successful as its English dubbed version.

Tron: Legacy

Space Paranoids was one of my favorite worlds in the PlayStation 2 game Kingdom Hearts II produced by Square Enix. Of course, it wasn't that great a place for leveling or gathering cash. But I did enjoy the look of the environment. It felt… different from the other worlds in the game.

Why is this relevant? I went out and saw Tron: Legacy yesterday.

"Let's play a video game!" : Mega Man 2

Mega Man 2, the game that follows the original Mega Man and is followed by Mega Man 3, is a game that takes place in 199X (200X in the American release, I believe) where Dr. Light created a super robot, Mega Man, to stop Dr. Wily from using the Robot Masters he stole from Dr. Light to take over the world and whatnot. Because there's obviously no other use for eight Robot Masters than taking over the world. By the way, this is the second time this has happened.
