You make me sick to my stomach. I pray you never have to endure anything like what the people of Japan are having to right now.

It's been 2hrs why hasn't Her/his post been deleted as yet admins?

dougr4791d ago

because there is nothing wrong with her post. It's her opinion, her priorities are gaming over caring about someone she will never see in her life.

Why are people getting so judgmental? It is sad period. Japan has given me so many of my childhood memories.

The entire country is affected so yes, Japan based Sony and Nintendo will be as well. The country is in complete shambles and my heart goes out to them.

Gaming website talking about gaming issues related to the Japanese earthquake. And people are mad about discussing the earthquake effects on the industry of your hobby. I find that odd. We all know those poor people are suffering. We all know the devastation of japan's infrastructure.

Those poor people include people in other countries besides japan whom are financially dependent on the Japanese market including it's gaming market. Japan's economy is intertwined with the global economy of the world. They suffer financially so shall we.

Grieve if you must, but be a little cognizant that the effects of the quake affect on others financially who may not be able to pay their bills state side or in other countries. And that is not said with any intent to decrease the tragedy of what happened!

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
