Monotone IGN video review

I was like 40% sold on a PS3 before.  I'm about at 90% now.  damn it.

I played the demo of this recently and really want it now.

I was just watching a trailer, and the first thing I thought was "Fuck, I think that's Hitoshi Sakimoto doing the soundtrack".  Well... it was.  So if I didn't have enough reason to want it already, now I really do.  His music is so distinctive to me.

Anyway, that looks just incredible.  I was very curious about it before, and it looks too good to pass on now.  That may well end up being my allotted game purchase for November.  I wonder if Julia would like it... looks like it might be a little more tactical than she'd care for.  She put like 30 hours into Disgaea before deciding she just couldn't take it anymore, heh.

I put like 2 hours into Disgaea.  I should get back to that one day.

So I just tried the demo, and I really liked it.  Very interesting feeling to the actual tactics once you get down on the battlefield.  Pretty cool, this is definitely the game I'll be picking up.

I played the demo and I enjoyed it too. Then I tried the full game at my cousin's place and it is pretty sweet. If you love tactics style games this one is a must-have!

Picked this up today and I'm really digging it so far. Love the art style and the battles. Only put about half an hour into it so far, though, so I'll comment more when I play a bit more.

[Xessive]

I'm finally playing this and I'm loving it!

A little easter egg I was pleasantly surprised with is the presence of Vyse and Aika, the protagonists from Skies of Arcadia, make an appearance as recruitable soldiers! They "hail from a land far from Europa's shores."

Apparently Vyse appears in the anime as well (episode 13) but I haven't reached it yet.

Wal Mart is starting to clear these out at 20 bucks.  That may sell me.

Wal Mart is starting to clear these out at 20 bucks.  That may sell me.

I should really pick it up if I see it for that price, even if I'm not going to play it right away.

[Quemaqua]

That's definitely a good price for it.

[K-man]

Played the demo last night and was impressed.  Grabbed it this AM as a little Birthday present to myself (as if Clubhouse games and DQV weren't...hehe)

[K-man]

Still haven't opened this, but I was browsing the game section at Wal Mart the other day and noticed that the other copies of this game were already gone.  I'm wondering if this game will end up being a rare title down the road.

[TheOtherBelmont]

I snagged this tonight, it was the last copy at the local Wal Mart here.  Thanks for the heads up on the great deal K-Man.

[idolminds]

Damnit, I didnt bother to go to walmart today. This game looks cool.

[idolminds]

Lucky me, the walmart I was near the other day didnt have it according to the web site. But I did find another one that does have it in stock still. Gonna try get over there today.

[K-man]

Never trust the stock indicator.  It is never accurate.  Hell my Wal Mart doesn't even show up in it.

[gpw11]

Fuck, this leaves me in a strange place. I plan on buying a PS3 one day and this game is one of the reasons...now, however is not the time.  Should I see if I can find it and just store it knowing there's a slight possibility I might never end up buying a PS3? Fuck.
