LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

Everything I Learned About Call of Duty: Ghosts Last Week
I wasn't allowed to talk about the new Infinity Ward game last week when I met with Activision, and I don't have much to say now that Xbox One spilled the beans.

On the future of some gamers

Before Microsoft and Sony do something regarding their future in the video game business, I wanted to write, and I've wanted it for a long time now, but other things kept getting in my way, and fearing that tomorrow might be too late, today will have to do.  ...

P4G: Review Log 01: Everyday's Great At Your Junes!

Posted on Friday, November 2 @ 09:44:31 Eastern by

If you were from the big city and your parents decided to dump you with your uncle Dojima in middle-of-nowhere, Japan, you wouldn't expect things to begin moving as rapidly as they do in Persona 4: Golden. When I began my year, I certainly didn't expect to meet new faces so soon, like Marie, a new character only available in Golden.

But that's how quickly things devolved into a murder mystery. The things I loved about Persona 3: Portable became quickly apparent in Golden. Characters had a back story. Relationships existed before I arrived. People didn't immediately come to me with their problems and questions. And then... that body was found hanging upside down from the TV antenna.

I thought we would have spent the entire time after school talking about what had happened, but Chie went on and on about this Midnight Channel thing. I think it sounds like a suburban legend, something the people out here cook up to keep from getting bored, but I'll check it out anyway. I wanna fit in, you know.

    Hey just saying. The whole plot of the game happens cause you touch that dirty minimum wage part time worker's hand.

    I mean, who ever works as at a gas station these days? Bums i tell you! And you know what bums use their hands for?

    Nanako is just about the most precious character of all time.

    Oh, yes, about three times I would say. And then I watched the animation. And then P4: Arena. So it's right about time to play it again. :)

    I'm guessing you have the honor of reviewing P4G for the site, Daniel (or took it from one of your coworkers' cold, dead hands). Day one buy for me.

    I do! It's such a big game I'm trying to do these review logs to keep plugging away at it. Can't get too distracted, you know!

    I've played the game enough times, and Daniel only just got into Persona with Persona 3 Portable. I couldn't have him walk the Earth without playing P4, now can I? That would be mean or something.

    This is a real Persona game, right? Not that ridiculous fighting game?

    Heh, just one time I would like someone (besides the protagonist) to be so badass that he (or she) just accepts his shadow and it turns into a persona immediately.

    Can't wait for this game. May pick up the Assassins Creed Liberation vita bundle and then pick this up too.

    Not expecting it to, but i got it and played it a bit and its pretty fun i think. The setting intrigued me and the bundle was a good price and good way to get a Vita for P4G.
