I'm not the biggest RPG nut, but over my last decade of gaming, I have appreciated most of the RPGs I've played. After starting on Pokemon, I've played a Final Fantasy or two, and even delved into Persona. But until recently,...

Damn Atlus, you sure know how to show an aging system some love! We heard that Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time was coming back in April, but it's still pretty surreal to see new PSP games getting released on UMDs. (That's not a...
