I still think that P3 had the strongest atmosphere of any of the Persona games, and also the strongest narrative hook. That last few months while you prepare for Nyx, for death, is absolutely heartbreaking, it made me think that maybe I made the wrong choice. It was well done. Read more

Yep. Though they somewhat did this in later Persona entries, 3 is still the one that pulled it off the best, in my opinion, just because of the sheer level of hopelessness that the game pushed onto you before this point.

You sit there like, “This is it. This is the absolute only way, and I *know* what’s going to… Read more

Thanks to you Peter, and the whole weekend crew across all the GMG blogs, for providing some really great articles this weekend! Read more

This is why P3 is still the best of the three modern Persona games even if it plays itself worse than the others. P4 and P5 both have better style, better gameplay, better locations and settings, but they never even get near to touching the eerie and unsettling chords that P3 managed to.

Yup Megaman 2 is easily the best of the “Megaman” games. Following close behind is the “X” series, whose legacy collection I cannot wait for patiently to drop later this year. Read more

I’d go a step further and do good level design breakdowns of more games. There is some real brilliance in good level design, and it’s not always even obvious what makes them good.

I’m not sure I ever got around to using Time Stopper on Quickman. I always just stood in the corner and killed him with Crash Bombs. Shoot bomb at the wall... let QM just on you until it blows up. Rinse and repeat. Super easy boss fight :) Read more

I loved Mega Man 2, however I only got to play 2 at a friend’s house but I had Mega Man 3, so that will be the game that I hold in my heart :) Read more
