Q&A questions: 1) Was it hard to get back into ?Big Picture? mode after such a lengthy hiatus? 2) Where are the various faces from? Were they drawn from photos? Do you have a favorite? 3) Do you have a favorite Kaiju video game, and if so, is it Rampage? Mine is Shadow of the...

Awesome news! I also hope they do something to fix the graphical lag and slowdown which plagued the PSP version (not that the PSP version was bad, it just stood out amidst all the great updates to the original game).

Got this game off eBay while I was in college... I really don't know why, but I absolutely loved it. It's a completely different experience than ANY Final Fantasy game I had played to that point. Darker, moodier, and incredibly isolating to the player, as you basically spend the entire game...

Hey all, long-time lurker, first time poster. JRPGs are really what got me into hardcore gaming, and for the longest time, were the staple of my games library. It started with Final Fantasy VIII (or actually, now that I think about, Pokémon Blue) and from there on, I needed more. I snatched...
