Disgaea 3 is officially out and ready for purchase. One of my friends was able to pick it up yesterday, so my countdown may be off for some people. Anyone else get it yet?

Only 4 more days of waiting for Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice to be released in stores. I know the actual release date is August 26th, but most people will have to wait until the game is in their local video game store, or until it is shipped to them. Sadly this requires [...]

I have updated my previous post concerning Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots passwords to include two new passwords. They are for the guns Thor and the Patriot.

Atlus announced a pretty cool contest which will give North American fans a chance at winning a Persona 4 T-shirt. There are no images of the shirt yet, so I cannot verify if it’s the same that was included in the Japanese Konami-Style Special Edition.
The contest is held in collaboration with the gaming site [...]
