Very nice! Glad you included those pictures too. I've been interested in SMT for a while, so when I got a PSP a year and a half ago I snapped up copies of Persona, Innocent Sin, and P3P. I started Persona but got bogged down in the middle. The system for negotiating with the demons is so opaque! It just seems random whether they respond favorably or not. The battle music also drove me nuts lol. I haven't tried the others yet.

I picked up a copy of Digital Devil Saga 2 a while back. I saw it and decided to get it because I know they're highly sought after games (SMT in general) but should I play DDS1 first?

You really should play it, whoever you are lol. The boss fights wouldn't have felt out of place in a mediocre game but the rest of Human Revolution is so good. Also, played with friends, Four Swords is awesome!

What made you buy it twice? Maybe you should wait for a used copy then lol

Theoretically you should be able to get through no matter how you spec your character but I had some real trouble on a couple of the bosses because I had put a lot of my points into stealth things. I'm glad that won't be a handicap now.

I've always wanted to the play the first Deus Ex. Square Enix recently trademarked some new Deus Ex names, too, so hopefully we'll get some new games before too long as well.

The Wii U has some decent things now and some good stuff coming, but right now it's kind of meh...

I hope you can play it sometime. Even with the original bosses, it was an excellent game. But if you can wait for the Wii U version (and if you haven't played it yet, why not wait?), that's definitely the way to go.

I might have to give this a try. My favorite levels in Sonic Adventure 2 were the ones where Sonic just runs really fast through everything. This looks kind of like that, though the 3-lane mechanic is different of course.

The game was so smart and flexible and then you got to these bosses that were just dumb bullet sponges. I actually decided not to replay the game on hard simply because I didn't want to deal with a more difficult version of some of those bosses again. Definitely looking forward to this Director's Cut 

While it's nice to always know you're getting a good game, especially with how expensive they are now, I do miss being surprised. I think the App Store is the only place that sense of discovery still exists for me. Kind of sad.

The last time I paid full price for a game was Halo 4 and though I will be picking up BioShock Infinite next week, those purchases are by far the exception. If Microsoft and Sony do decide to flip us the finger and block used game sales for their next systems, it's gonna screw my gaming way of life.
