Community Voice #11: How Long Do You Like Your Games?
We've discussed it before here at Spawn Kill: the issue of game length. Recently, one of the developers of Joe Danger, Sean Murray, wrote a blog post about the subject, and it got me thinking about it once again, especially since it's a concept I ruminate about often.

HD Atlus Game From Persona Team: Catherine; Full Famitsu Scans!
The team behind Persona 4 from Atlus Japan is working on their very first HD game, and sadly, it's not Persona 5. They're working on something a little more... spicy. It's a much, much more adult game (see the Famitsu scans below if you want to see for yourself), but tagged with a horror action/adventure genre. The main character might be little familiar to recent adopters of Persona 3 Portable, as he was one of the social links if you played as a female protagonist in the game.

Review: Persona 3 Portable
Atlus really does treat their fans well. Many associate them with the lavish pre-order bonuses they include with their games, usually without any additional charge, running the gambit from collectible figurines or plushies to art books, soundtracks and more. And while they are as willing and eager as most other developers/publishers to re-release games (i.e. for a new platform), they almost always are sure to update and add something extra to reward those who might be buying a title for the second (or third) time. Obviously, Persona 3 Portable is a prime example of this. Originally released in August 2007, the game was later re-released in a "director's cut" version (with added content) less than a year later, also for the PlayStation 2. Now, almost three years to the day after the first game came out, gamers old and new to the title can play it once again in a third iteration, this time for the PSP, with Persona 3 Portable.

Review: Shin Megami Tensei: Persona
In the wide world of RPGs, games that offer the same experience as the Shin Megami Tensei series are quite scarce. It's been more than a decade since the release of Revelations: Persona, a mere piece of the venerable and expansive Shin Megami Tensei (MegaTen) series (though more of a spinoff at the time of its inception) and these days it's never looked better. Atlus, famed publisher of quirky niche titles that go a long way to satiate our bloodlust for solid roleplaying experiences, has released a special revival of the kooky adventure many of us played as mere tots on the original PlayStation -- now for its soon-to-be defunct cousin, the PlayStation Portable.

Persona PSP Receives E-Release, Retail Release Simultaneously
Persona on the PSP is set to release via the downloadable service for the less-than-valued PSP Go as well as sold at retail locations on the same date of September 22nd. As usual, Atlus will be pampering players with the usual Atlus Spoils treatment, but to receive the goods you must purchase the retail hard copy of the game. The copy sold in stores will be a Collector's Edition box at default, packaged with a two-disc soundtrack from the game. The game will retail in both locations for $39.99. Combined with the two notions that RPG gamers are usually collectors and pr

SMT: Persona Video Walkthrough
Persona really got popular with the PS2 releases of Persona 3 which helped spurn awareness and excitement for Persona 4. But there was joy that existed before all this, long ago in the shadowy realms of the Playstation with the original Persona. In the year 1996, Atlus released a spin off game of the niche series Shin Megami Tensei called Revelations: Persona. Much like most recent installments, the game features an unnamed protagonist who fights demons with the help of demons in a shadowy alternate reality. The game received high marks from the critics, though it never took off like its Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest peers. Nevertheless, after the success of the latest games, the team over at Atlus had the inspiration to remake this original Persona game, and thank the gaming gods that they did. It's already received heaps of praise in Japan, and looks to be shaping up nicely for its September stateside release. And as they so often do, Atlus has rewarded its follower with a sneak peak walkthrough video, shown below. (more...)

Persona PSP Remake Special Edition-Do Want
As a rabid member of the Atlus Faithful, one of the most memorable franchises to me has always been Revelations: Persona. One of the very first PSX games I devoured just happened to be Persona, and from then on I was a changed person. As the years passed the sequels impressed me more and more, especially through Persona 3 and Persona 4, having adopted the Shin Megami Tensei prefix. After Atlus announced a remake of the original Persona for the PSP, you could color me excessively stoked. I do have to wonder if Mark has still been forced to be an African-American... (more...)
