    Something that wasn't an FPS or gorefest. Can't stand em. And I never was able to get into Phantasy Star.

    Zero Punctuation: Valkyria Chronicles

    He's really picking the wrong JRPG's to play. I mean, look at it. It's by Sega. When was the last time Sega released a great game? Because I don't remember.

    Zero Punctuation: Prince of Persia Retrospective
