Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked: The first good 3DS game?

Yes and no. It’s true that all of the 3DS games that have come out so far are meh at best, but on June 28th, 2 great 3DS games come out. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked and Cave Story 3d. There’s only one problem. They are both remakes. However, both are great games, and both are worth getting in 3D.

Everyone knows CaveStory as it is a masterpiece. But Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor from Atlus is a bit less known, but also pretty awesome. And this remake adds a lot of new endings, so it will be worth picking up.

With updated Graphics, sound, and voice acting, Devil Survivor is a must buy 3DS game. If you own the original, it’s not a must, but otherwise it is.

In other news Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 has been announced for the DS. Atlus is still making new games too…

Well, it was fun, but This blog is done.

I had a lot of fun the past few years, but it’s time for Random Absurdity to end. I haven’t kept up a lot recently, so it’s time to kill this project. Thanks for reading,

A fake 40 year history of gamefaqs? And a fake poll? After last year of gamefaqs doing nothing, it’s great.

There’s more, but this year wasn’t as awesome as past years.

And tomorrow? Alex rider review. Tune in and tell all your friends!

Japan’s Box cover game art is better than America’s.

For some odd reason, when a Japanese game gets released in the states, they often change the cover. I’m guessing most of the time it’s marketing purposes, but I don’t see it boosting sales that much. Plus, Japan normally has better box art anyways.

Look at Atelier Rorona for the PS3. Honestly it’s not great art, but it shows what the game is and who it’s about. Kind of girly though, and little kidish, who is not the target audience. But look at the American art.

It’s worse. Like it normally is

Arc Rise Fantasia is a generic group shot. The change must of helped, right?

No, it’s just another Generic group shot. Why the change?

Oh, and there’s plenty more.

Why does Japan get Zelda on the cover, But we don’t?

The Japan version looks so much better, the blue tint sucks, but the black one is great.

Their both good, but Japan still wins.

I’ve always seen Kirby as a more happy person.

They didn’t even bother with the American version. It’s bland, and it sucks. A lot.

For the most part, Japan has better box art on their video games. I don’t know why, but they do.

But not always….

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey And Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse Episode 1: The Penal Zone Reviews

2 for 1? Yes! Today is get one review, get another free. So without further ado, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey.

SMT Strange Journey for the NDS is a great game. It really is. You play as a soldier who goes into a mysterious, growing, black void appears at the Earth’s southern pole. You and your teams mission is to find out what is causing it and to stop it. Unfortunately, you get stranded their. Oh, and their are Demons who want to kill you.

Luckily, you have a Demonica suit. This allows you to talk and negotiate with the demons, or make you powerful enough to kill them. What’s great in this game in you can fight or talk to demons. And their are over 300 demons, all with different personalities and text. The amount of conversation in this game is staggering. Of course their is demon fusion as well, to make stronger demons. Talking to demons will either make them mad, not care, or give you stuff, or even become your demon so you can become powerful.

The plot is to Figure whats going on, and is a dungeon crawler. Their is plenty of customization, with over 300 demons, many many items, and many upgrades. It’s insane how much their is. It’s great. You slowly learn whats going on, and can either save humanity, or doom it. As it is an SMT game, the choice is yours. Are you the Hero or the Villain?

In all, it’s a great game. But Atlus made it, so that’s obvious.

9.7/10

Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse Episode 1: The Penal Zone is also a good game, but this a point and click game. The main problem is it’s really not a point and click, you use the arrow keys, which is kind of awkward.

But the game is fun. With the Duo of a talking Dog and rabbit, you must solve crimes. An evil gorilla alien comes and wants to take over. Luckily, Max gets Psychic powers which help in the puzzles.

The game is almost as ridiculous as the old ones, and just as funny. It’s a great game, and I can’t wait until episode 2 coming this May.

9/10

Persona 5 announced

This is great news. I Just want to know what system it’s on, but I’m guessing the Ps3.

The persona Series is known for many choices, which determines your fate. It also has a huge social aspect, so you must talk to people.

You must also do some awesome Dungeon crawling, with fun combat.

And an epic story. Persona 4 was one of the best games I’ve ever played. It’s murder mystery was interesting and fast paced, and all around great.

This game will be great, like every other SMT game.

Also, I want SMT Strange Journey.

My top 5 Game Publishers

There are many game Publishers, but some are just better than others. So here are my favorite 5!

5. NIS- NIS is a publisher which brings over many obscure titles over to the states, and most of them good. And their all RPG’s. Disgaea is by far their best series, being insane and over the top. Their Mana Khemia series is quite good also. Thier a smaller publisher, but a great one.

4.Square Enix- I love this publisher as much as i hate them, which is a lot. Their first 9 final fantasy games were great, as well their Dragon quest series. They also brought us Chrono Trigger. But today their games aren’t so good. They did however make The World Ends With You, so I’ll give them some credit for an amazing game. Let’s see if they can start making more brilliant games.

3. Sega- I know they mostly suck now, but back in the day they brought us many many classics. Sonic, Shining Forces, Comic Zone, Altered beast, it goes on and on. And they are trying to become good again as well. Just look at the Conduit, Madworld, and Sonic 4. It shows they really are trying. Really.

2. Atlus- The makers of the Shin Megami Tensei series. And since this is one of my favorite series, they are one of my favorite publishers. They publish a lot of other stuff as well, and almost all of it good. They make quality RPG’s and they are never bad. They always have an original idea.

1.Nintendo- Kirby, Mario, Zelda, Starfox, Pikmin, Animal crossing, What more to say?

How about thier too newest and secretive titles, The last Story and Monado. They might be good games.

These are the best, but their are others that deserve credit as well. Capcom, konami, Travelers Tale, and may many more.

But their are some that suck as well….
