When I had the opportunity to play a favorite game all over again with Persona 3 Portable, I was happy to do so. I didn't realize a virtual sex change would make the experience anything but the same as before. More »

Japanese figure maker Alter has put up new listings for its fall figurine line-up which includes a Persona 3 Elizabeth from sculptor Fumiki Saitou and an Oneechanbara VorteX Aya from Goutarou Takeuchi. The Elizabeth (pictured) is 22cm tall and books at ¥6,090 (US$58), while the Aya (after the jump) is 25cm tall and priced at ¥8,190 (US$78). Aya, of course, is more expensive because she is 3cm higher and not because she is in her skippies and carrying swords. Oh no. More »

PlayStation 2 RPG Persona 3 is getting its own TV anime spinoff. The show, called Persona -trinity soul-, takes place ten years after the game in a city where the dead have risen with their skins turned inside out. Yummy! The cartoon character designs are being created by the game's character designer, so expect the to hopefully have that same Persona 3 look. Show starts this January in Japan. More »

Sorry, occult horror RPG fans, but your copies of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 aren't going to land in your hellfire hot little hands this week. Word from Atlus is that the game has been slightly delayed. Unfortunately, we have no specific new ship date for you to look forward to, but can chalk the delay up to Atlus demanding a higher standard for its PlayStation 2 release. More »

It's going to be a straight up PLAYSTATION 3 weekend for me, as I'm slogging through Ninja Gaiden Sigma—I'm somewhere around chapter 13 right now and not that skilled yet—and I recently had a revelation. It turns out the Motorstorm is pretty damn fun. I had totally forgotten about the game, despite hyping it for months and picking it up day one. It just didn't get that much play in my PS3 since its release, but I've realized I'm pretty damn good at Motorstorm. More »

With E3 just a few weeks away, I've got plenty of planning to do to prepare. This work is seriously cutting into my game time, as I think I've only played mere minutes worth of Diablo II and Shadow of the Colossus this week. Much of my weekend will also be dedicated to this pre-E3 work, but I'm going to take a few minutes to finally crack open this review copy of Persona 3 for the PlayStation 2. More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=271414&view=rss&microfeed=true While I'm still a little worried about Persona 3 (the 4th Persona game) and its shift from standard linear storyline to a schoolboy management sim / demon battling hybrid, flipping through this latest batch of nearly 60 screenshots makes me feel a whole lot better about preordering the latest US Megaten game. Game mechanic inconsistencies aside, Atlus really knows how to make a pretty RPG. Enjoy. Michael Fahey More »

Pretty well, I'm sure. When entering combat in Persona 3 putting a gun-like item to your head and pulling the trigger will unleash your Persona. The RPG is due in Japan July 13 and no North American date has been announced. Somewhere, senators Clinton and Lieberman are counting the days down. More »
