(heart Etna) keeps the laughs going while also having its fair share of surprisingly somber, heartfelt moments. I won't say that describing why this game is fun is like describing why Harvest Moon is fun, but you do really need to play these games in order to understand just how charming and addicting they really are. For SRPG enthusiasts or simply the curious: give these games a chance; I am certainly glad I did.

Looking into the future: 3DS Vs. Vita

With still no convincing titles on the horizon, the 3DS continues to evade my interest. I am truly worried for Nintendo in this uncertain time, but my pocket book is a harsh judge, and it has sided with the Vita. With Persona 4 and Disgaea 3 announced [Edit: And Army Corps of Hell, and Uncharted: Golden Abyss, and Gravity Rush, and…], I am excited to take the games I missed out on the first time around on the go. What may be the biggest selling point for me, oddly enough, are the social aspects worked into the Vita. I love the idea of cross-game chat allowing me to talk to my PSN friends while grinding on Disgaea 3. Plus vaguely hinted at features such as being able to see who is playing what nearby you sounds like an awesome way to meet like-minded gamers. Here's looking forward to February 22th, 2012!
