Spec Ops: The Line is an unremarkable shooter with a few interesting points. I read recently that professionals write what they need to and hobbyists write what they want to. The statement is true yet short sighted, much like this game. I didn’t play the multiplayer and my criticism is only held towards the single player campaign. Spec Ops: The Line isn’t a fun game, but the story has some interesting points that are undermined by plot holes and bad mechanics And it does that thing I love where the opening screen is the starting shot of opening gameplay al la God War and Infamous.

Tactics Ogre Let Us Cling Together is a remake of the original, absurdly hard Tactics Ogre for the PSOne (Not to be confused with Tactics Ogre Knight of Lodis). The remake is done by Yasumi Matsuno, the original creator of Tactics Ogre, Ogre Battle, and Final Fantasy Tactics. On top of that, “Let Us Cling Together” is a reference to a song by Queen, Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together). The remake focuses on adding a degree of modern design to an old brutal game. The Old Ways punished players with death. The New Ways are much more forgiving while still delivering a challenging experience. To say I’m considering buying this game flowers is an understatement for my love for this remake.

Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga is an RPG with a linear storyline for the Playstation 2 released by Atlus. The voice acting is top notch featuring Steve Blum and Crispin Freeman among others. And in turn, the story is fantastic as well. The game uses the engine from Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne. If you like RPG’s and don’t mind a well written, well acted linear story that doesn’t make much sense towards the end, then this game will be awesome for you. Its extremely hard to write an intro for this game so I’ll just leave it at this: Dude, demonic cannibals.
