I was never that big on Guitar Hero, though admitedly my experience with the game consists of going to an EB Games, playing the game hooked up there, beating a song on medium and going away thinking "meh". But I think there would be a problem if there isn't a brick wall in a rhythm game. I mean...

Despite the fact that I loved Phantom Hourglass, I still enjoyed this review quite a bit. I actually enjoyed the temple that you go back to again and again because it's essentially a new dungeon each time. I think the timer was well implemented and it's one of the few things in Zelda that...

I know you don't like western developers, but perhaps you could've had some more balance in your choices(you only have one western company, the rest are Japanese). In any case, the game I'm playing right now's developer seems to be Ninja Studio, so I guess I like that. Other than that, IntSys...

The game showed me this character: ヱ In all of my years of knowing Japanese, I've never actually seen it used.

If it sells more than X number of copies, it's casual. X being any number you feel like.

Exploration. A really underrated aspect of RPGs, but I like finding things on my own, getting to a town that I don't have to visit in the main quest(at least, not at that point). I get really annoyed at the forced linearity of many recent RPGs(Final Fantasy X, Star Ocean 3, etc), especially...

Having the cheaper system, cross-platform titles is only really beneficial to Microsoft. The PS3 needs exclusives to justify its higher cost. If the PS3 can't secure enough exclusives to justify its higher cost, fewer and fewer people will be buying the system. If the desparity becomes great...

Well, not all of what would be AO is based on over-sexualization. I'd say one of the problems with the ESRB is that extreme violence gets a free pass, but any amount of sexual content automatically gets an AO, but that's a topic for another day. As for not being very worthy, it's a rather...

This comparison is not really too meaningful. Rather than that, it doesn't show a good future for Sony. The Xbox360 already has a large lead NOW. The PS3 needs to outsell the 360 NOW in order to catch up. If it doesn't, the gap in userbase between the two consoles will simply grow bigger. If...

The main reason why there is such a lack of AO games is because they won't sell. The main reason why they won't sell is because most stores will not carry them. AO games, as the current state of the industry, simply aren't marketable. As for the quality of AO games, I'm not too clear on that...

Us, the children of video gaming, of course.

One of the reasons I like the Opera browser: it does bring it back. Sonic is odd for me. I loved the fast movement that came from the Genesis games, but I was SNES kid back then, so I didn't play it much. The first time I really got into it was Sonic Adventure 2: Battle for the Gamecube...

This article reminded me of how much I love Dragon Quest VIII without really realising why. I mean, just to save you need to go through alot of dialogue, and you can only save at certain places. After saving, they even ask if you want to quit right there. It's the most total opposite of...

As for fansubbing, most of the fansubbers have come into terms that what they are doing is illegal. Initally, fansubbing was done to bring exposure to anime, but anime doesn't really need exposure anymore. There's a bunch of articles around the Internet about this, talking about the morality of...

You seem to be describing Harvest Moon, ZacQuickSilver. Err, yes, I consider it an RPG, although I can imagine that many would not. If you want another game with meaningful time progression, there's the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. I personally don't consider that an RPG, but I know some...
