Import Review | Trails in the Sky: Second Chapter


Trails in the Sky is a JRPG developed by Nihon Falcom and localised by XSEED Games. Ever since the dramatic cliff-hanger at the end of Trails in the Sky: First Chapter, fans have waited, and waited, and waited for Second Chapter to arrive.

Sadly that wait is going to go on for just a few more months as Trails in the Sky Second Chapter isn't due out in English until this Summer. But this time TiTS (don't giggle!) is coming to the PC (Steam) and PSP.

Can't wait for the game? Well, why not jump into this review of the import version of the game and find out for yourself how it stacks up?

Note: This is actually the second iteration of this review. The kind folks over at Continue Play have edited this piece to high heaven and made it infinitely more readable than the first version.

Review - Hatsune Miku Project Diva f (Vita)


The Playstation 3 version of Hatsune Miku Project Diva f  has been in players hands for some time now.  But the Vita version has still not been released yet in the West (scheduled Q1 2014 IIRC).

I've wrapped up my review for Hatsune Miku Project Diva f (Vita) and I definitely had some thoughts on it:
"If you already own the Playstation 3 version of Hatsune Miku Project Diva f, and playing the game in some capacity on the go is not a big deal to you, I’d suggest passing this up. If you have neither version and playing it on the go isn’t absolutely critical to you either, again, you’d be better off passing up the Vita version. Hatsune Miku Project Diva f is a decent game with a creative spark in it, it is fun to play on both systems, but one of those systems has a version that is much more definitive than the other."
So what went so wrong? Take a look for yourself:
