After the unpopular move to exclude North America in the release of the highly anticipated Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii, fans of the Japanese RPG genre got together and started a campaign to bring Xenoblade to American shores. It is not yet known if the campaign, entitled Project Rainfall, is instrumental in bringing about the change of heart at Nintendo, but we will be seeing the game surface on store shelves in April of 2012. Proponents of Project Rainfall are also...
In which I “fix” the graphical issues and have “no idea the enemy I’m making.” Remember, it isn’t murder without witnesses.

Just when you thought you were safe from cutscenes, MORE CUTSCENES!
I have been playing tabletop roleplaying games for a long time, longer than I have actually been playing the video game variety. I was involved in a game of Vampire: The Maquerade when I was a mid-teen, and played in a Dungeons & Dragons campaign made up of almost all the same people.

I’ve gotten Gears of War for the Xbox 360 recently. Not the new one, but the oldest version you can possibly buy on the free market: Gears of War 1. This is a pattern with me, I will overlook a series until it comes full circle and joins the halls of the great trilogies, then I will recognize the series as something worth checking out, and finally begin the descent into whichever universe has captured my attention. I mostly attribute this phenomenon to my general...
