I been playing Atlus’ ROndo of Swords on the DS. Some good shit there, definite throwback to 2D strategy RPGs which I always loved.
I want me some GTA IV. I was so tempted to buy an HDTV, a 360 and just sit down and play that sumbitch. Maybe after the game’s done. We’ll see.

I’m also playing Rondo of Swords! I’m four hours into the game so far. Pretty interesting gameplay, indeed…
I’m always confused about the low ratings that Atlus games get from reviewers. When you read the comments, there is always a similar pattern: they complain and take out points because the games are too hard, and that you have to re-play many levels because you continually die and have to re-start. To be honest, that’s a plus for me! I like to play games that force you to think strategically your every decision, and where there are dire consequences for bad ones.
Call me a masochist, I guess…

I have a love/hate relationship with this game. I had to play it twice because it wasn’t explained that to get certain characters you have to mosey up to them. Gameplay wise its kind of ridiculous, but then there’s that old school mentality for you. I like the idea of attacking multiple enemies depending on your movement though.
