Impressions #1: Persona 4 Golden
So, it has been far too long since I have written anything about video games. In order to remedy this, I am going to stop holding myself to the standard long-form Press Start to Discuss articles you have all come to expect from me. I...
#69: SEES and the Investigation Team: A Tale of Tone and Scale
One of my favorite JRPG franchises has to be the Persona sub-franchise in the Shin Megami Tensei series. Although I have played through all of the games in the franchise, Persona 3 and 4 are the ones that really captured my heart. I was talking...
#68: Kingdoms of Amalur vs. Skyrim: The Intimidation Factor
Like many people out there in the gaming space, I like to try to play games to completion. Though I do that with fewer and fewer games as I grow older, those games that particularly interest me still fuel that urge to do everything I...
#67: To Heavy Rain and Beyond: David Cage’s Problems
(Spoiler Alert for Beyond: Two Souls. I wanted to keep this post spoiler-free. However, as I was typing it I realized that my points are stronger in the presence of clear examples from the game.)As those of you who follow me on Twitter know, I...
Disclosure Alert: Alpha Protocol: Episode 32: DisclosureCast
Not much of note happens in this episode. We couldn't stop at Episode 31 because the cutscenes kept playing and there wasn't a good save point. Even when the cutscenes were over, we just kept talking and the result is that we ended up with...
Disclosure Alert: Alpha Protocol: Episode 31: Revenge of the Trolled
What follows is perhaps the saddest thing I've been a part of since that time when we went months without producing a single video. Let the record show that I DID tell Aldowyn to "Pick Suave, and then pick Suave again." #AldowynIsDumbI think both this...
Disclosure Alert: Alpha Protocol: Episode 30: Chain-Letter Terrorism
In this episode, we muse about the nature of life, shock traps, and tea. Also, some chick gets shot. The e-mail in this game really is a missed opportunity. Since the game doesn't really allow for Thorton to really keep up casual conversation with a...
Disclosure Alert: Alpha Protocol: Episode 29: The Spy-Themed Beard Simulator
At long last, Disclosure Alert has FINALLY returned. For those of you who haven't been following the saga on Twitter, Aldowyn meant to have this out to you guys months ago, but forgot to bring his desktop computer to college with him. This was a...
#66: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Retrospective: The Two Thrones of Compromise
(Spoiler Alert for the entire Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time trilogy)And so we have reached the end of this little series. The Two Thrones, released in 2005, had a major problem from the get go. While most fans of the franchise vastly preferred...
#65: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Retrospective: The Blunder Within
Last week, I began a series of retrospectives on the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time trilogy. Starting with the original Sands of Time, I mostly praised the game for the many, many things it did correctly, including its gameplay, narrative, and setting. However, despite...
