Persona 3 officially releases tomorrow and as such the reviews are starting to pour in. Here are the ones you can check out so far.

RPGFan - Damian Thomas’s review and Ashton Liu’s review.

Gamernode - Brian Lindsey’s review.

GameAlmighty - Matt Butrovich’s review.

Game Informer - Metacritic states GI gave the game an 8.5.

Play - Himuro informs us that Play gave the game a 9.5.

RPGamer - Michael Beckett’s review.

I’ll add more as time goes on, but for the most part it’s safe to just watch Metacritic’s page on the game.

I’ve been holding on to these wallpapers for a while because I wasn’t sure if Atlus USA was planning on making them available. Now that it looks like that won’t be happening, I feel OK about sticking them up on the site. These were only available on the Japanese bonus disc that came with pre-ordering the game. They were kindly provided to me months ago by a member of NeoGAF, although unfortunately I’m not sure who it was any longer (feel free to let me know if you know).

Here’s a preview:

Anyway, you can check them out (along with the older selection) in our Persona 3 wallpapers section. They’re all available in 800×600, 1024×768 and 1280×1024.

By way of Play comes the news that, like Digital Devil Saga 2, Persona 3 will feature an inner cover. It remains to be seen for sure, but Play gives the impression that the image they have is for the actual DVD case cover while the one we’re all familiar with is for some sort of outer casing (perhaps a box to hold all of the extras?). We shall see. You can check that out alongside the the soundtrack CD art and the cover for the included art book (along with some sample pages) by visiting this page.

The first page of the article also informs us to watch out for a review that should appear on the day the game releases.

Thanks to ShinByakki for the heads up.

We recently posted about GameAlmighty’s Persona 3 preview and now they have the full review up. The game comes out next week, so expect a flood of these… although if you’re reading this, you’re probably picking it up anyway.

Thanks to Tatsuya for pointing this one out.

Part two of Siliconera’s Persona 3 preview is now online. This portion is specifically concerned with combat and is an interesting read. Most probably know that it uses as modified version of the system first presented in Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, although it also has its own unique nuances. Check out the preview for more information.

Thanks to Tatsuya for pointing the update out.

With E3 starting up, Atlus has posted the official US Persona 3 website. It’s pretty much in the style of the Japanese version, albeit completely in Flash. There’s some new wallpapers, video clips and other information if you want to check it out.
