World Destruction Latest PV

This game is lookin' so good! And If you've been watching the anime you're probably just as excited for this as I am! I'm lovin' this series!

Tales of Hearts Scans - Anime Vs CG

Well it looks like they couldn't fit the anime and CG movies all on one cart. It seems the game will ship in two verisons, one with the out of place 3D CG movies, and one with the good old anime movies. Time to place your bets, which one do you think is going to sell more copies?(leave your bets/thoughts in the comments section!)
Just for the record, my bet is the Anime edition, I know that's the verison I'll be importing!

Here's hoping however, if the game does make it to North America that they don't only give us the CG edition...

Not an RPG, but I'm posting it anyways! Kumatanchi: Best looking 2D DS game EVER!-Questionmark

WATCH IT NOW! Folks, while watching that video you may have thought to your selfs(much like I did), "Holy shit those graphics are amazing, and the animation is so smooth!"... Well if you've been to my site at all in the past, you may have noticed the mention of a developer by the name of "Vanillaware", they brought us such great RPGs such as, Princess Crown, and Odin Sphere, and now they are bring us this! Yes folks, that's why this game looks so damn amazing, cause Vanillaware is working on it! And I'm a big fan of Vanillaware's work. As such, I just had to mention this game on my blog. Sure it's not an RPG(the video says it's a "slow life simulation")... But it's got my idols Vanillaware doin' the graphics, so I just had to post it up here!

Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure DS Trailer

RIZ-ZOAWD PV

Wow, I can't believe I haven't posted anything about this game yet... I swear that I did before... but I can't seem to find the post I thought I did... Oh well, this game looks amazing, though it seems like alot of running and fighting...That might get kinda boring after awhile, me thinks...

The PS2 just won't die - Ar tonelico II dated for North America

Rejoice! Gust/Banpresto announced recently that come this December, North America gamers will beable to pick up Ar tonelico II, for the Playstation 2! This is great news for me, as I loved the first game, and was worried that we wouldn't see this game due to the PS3 being out, but I guess the PS2 just won't die!

Ar tonelico II will feature an enhanced battle system(now featuring two Reyvateils instead of one), and an improved dating sim feature(which I'm quite excited about, as the dating sim parts of the original game were great fun!).

Now December is looking really full with it's RPGs! Why must gaming companies make me spend so much money?! Thank god, for the holidays though...
