Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey (DS) Review

I do not think I need to tell anyone I know that I love the Persona games. I was introduced to the series by Persona 3 on the PS2 and I instantly adored it. I have since gotten my hands on all the games currently in the franchise and finished almost all of them. However, knowing this series was a spin-off drew my attention to a much larger series: Shin Megami Tensei. To this end, I have grabbed several older titles for the PS2, but seeing a new one coming out got me excited and at launch, I had to have this game.

Fast forward a few years and a few other portable RPGs and I decided it was time to take on this game. Over one-hunderd and ten hours later, I have finally put the game down. It was a bit longer then I had planned, but overall, this was a great throwback to old school dungeon scrolling I hope a lot more people didn’t miss.

For Better or Worse, Atlus has a Buyer

The drama is finally over. As of right now, Sega’s parent company Sega Sammy Holdings has bought Index Corp., and everything that goes with it. Atlus is now in their hands. Honestly, I’m not sure how I feel about this. While I think Sega as a name fits well with a lot of the games Atlus makes in studio, I’m also a little disappointed, and Sega can directly be responsible for that.
