I liked the first game for the horror aspects. The sequel's use of comedy was annoying, imo. I couldn't connect with the characters and didn't like them at all. Once Joachim was introduced, I knew the game wasn't for me. I like some slap stick and comedy, but Covenant was bordering on overly silly for my tastes, which was disappointing, because I really wanted to like it.

That and the one screen towns, boring dungeons, or gay jokes really didn't sit too well with me. I'd like to give it another go, but I fear I'll get the same result.

SH1 is the only SH that stands out imo. I greatly dislike the other two. Real world events? That has little to do with SMT, though. SMT is more about supernatural events happening in a real world setting.

I never understood why Dante was put in Nocturne other then perhaps the main SMT artist did his devil design. Yuri from Shadow-hearts and shadow-hearts covenant likely would have been a better choice. The Shadowhearts mythos parallels that of the SMT universe quite closely IMO.

Um no. Yuri does not fit SMT at all.

Shadow Hearts parralel to SMT? lol SH is light heated. SMT is anything but, aside from the Persona series, and even that is darker than all of the SH games.

This is the first SMT to be featured in a mainstream web comic publication isnt it?

10/10 from both reviewers

No. In fact, you get points added in my book.

FFXIII looks horrible. First FF I've ever not been excited for in my 10 years of being a fan. I think that's a sign!

I've played SMT1,2, and if on snes via emulator. I haven't beaten them but I've gotten to the end of 1 and 2.

Phoenix Wright isn't that unusual. It takes the standard point and click adventure game format and makes 9999 x the trial and error.

Yes and no. He did it without being a whiny obnoxious bitch.

It's a tagline for many shounen stories though. Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, so on and so forth in anime; Skies of Arcadia, Final Fantasy IX, and some others when it comes to games. Many have gotten tired of it and many of these types of characters aren't whiny bitches.

I don't even think the shoot yourself in the head thing is that odd. In a symbolic sense, it's pretty cool I think.

We won't bite your head off, dude. Welcome!

Totally dude.

Pretty interesting stuff.

What is Innocent Life?

I still gotta play Y's book of 1 and 2 for TG-16
