I wasn't aware it had pad support now! That's awesome!

I already like the game on PS1, so asking for advice. 1) I know the original PC port is buggy, does the Steam version fix this? 2) The music in the original port was awful MIDI tunes, does the Steam version fix this? 3) Are there other issues I should know about? The Magic Loader is...

Wait, he was once a talented game designer?

2012 and 2013 will be "The times they are a-changin" A lot of major games for both years have been serious reinvestigations of both form and content. Spec Ops: The Line mercilessly stripping apart the shooter or The Last of Us taking the rubble that's left and building a game where every...

I really don't care who's already said it, Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the top 5 things to ever air on television.

Also my ideal protagonist is voiced by either David Hayter or Jennifer Hale.

My ideal protagonist is a well-written character with a good arc, be it heroic or tragic, noble or villainous.

To be perfectly honest, damned near every other enemy in Wild Arms 5 hits like a truck so every time I see the use of high-level magic, I'm just kinda squirming until it's over.
