Persona 4: Golden | Review
Posted on December 18, 2012 by Kirk Williford
Golden.
That’s perhaps the easiest and most accurate way to describe Atlus’ remake of one of the best RPGs on the PS2. Persona 4: Golden isn’t your average HD remake, though – not only does it have enough additional story-based content packed into it to make the game feel brand new, but updated visuals, new music, online connectivity and special features like the ability to watch recorded live concerts featuring in game music make this one of the best HD remakes on the market – and it’s only available on the Playstation Vita.Read More

Etrian Odyssey IV English Trailer Released
Posted on November 27, 2012 by Les Major
Etrian Odyssey has always been a game series I’ve enjoyed. I miss the olden days of dungeon crawls like this and Etrian brings back even more of that magic letting me draw my own maps on my DS touch screen and label them too with items, treasure, monsters, etc.
The series is back again with the fourth installment this time on the 3DS! Looking bigger and better than ever. As the latest group of adventurers, which means if it’s anything like the last games the group you create, you’ll be arriving at Tharsis and setting out to reach the tree Yggdrasil to discover it’s secrets. It’s an Atlus import, it’s an RPG, you know this is going to rock! The game is set for release on February 26th, 2013.

PS Vita and RPG fans, rejoice! Your JRPG specialists at Atlus have you covered for an RPG experience set in the Persona universe touting over 100 hours of gameplay! That’s an impressive feat.

Persona 4 Arena | Review
Posted on October 5, 2012 by Eric Bastelak
Wait a second an RPG is transcending it’s genre and making the leap to…a fighting game? I couldn’t believe the precedent being created when Persona 4 Arena was announced. I had an even harder time believing that such a drastic leap away from the norm could turn out so well. Yes dear readers P4 Arena is not only a competent fighter, it is also a great one. Can you believe it? This sets the stage so that other fighters could possibly become RPGs or something completely different. Man we live in one exciting time. Well here we go let’s talk about how one of the best JRPGs released in the last decade made the leap to a tournament level fighting game.Read More

Persona 4: Arena Behind The Scenes Video
Posted on July 25, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards
Atlus’s Persona 4: Arena has the attention of not only series fans, Otaku (like yours truly ^_~), but also fighting fans due to the pedigree behind the game. Combine one of the pest roleplaying publishers like Atlus with one of the premiere fighting developers in Arc System Works and you’ve got a recipee for success.
The latest promotional video for Persona 4: Arena gives us a glimpse at one of the game’s recording sessions. The video features Yuri Lowenthal, voice of Yosuke Hanamura as he spends sometime behind the mic. Even the pros miss their cues and look kind of silly flubbing their lines.
Persona 4: Arena will be available in North America on the Xbox 360 and PS3 on August 7th!
