Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars Review (Vita)
For some time now, I’ve expected the emergence of the “Persona-like”, a new subgenre of RPGs that combine dungeon-crawling combat with social/dating sim elements. The concept was codified in 2006 by Persona 3, and it just works so well that I’m surprised it took this long for other games to be inspired by it. Spike Chunsoft’s Conception series is, to my knowledge, the first attempt at creating another franchise inspired by the Persona formula.

Winning The Console War
Many conversations about video games over the past year tend to stray into the territory of this generation’s console war. The fanboys will tell each other what is wrong with the other companies’ console and what is best about their own console. I am not a fanboy, I am a gamer.
