A.P. Stephens of Examiner writes: "Companies all around the world generally tell their consumers and employees about their mission statements and what the company stands for. They all have core values they are proud of and practice their business based off of this set group of said values.
The momentum of Sony is beginning on an upward swing, but all they need to do now is begin practicing and telling about these four "P's" I came up with."
Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
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.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

"Four P's Sony needs for 2009 and beyond"
aka
"I want to write an article about the PS3's price but I need to make it seem like I'm not."
But seriously:
1. Promise - With those exceptions listed, Sony has been more timely on showing their games relative to their release AND showing a better representation of the actual game (meaning they've learned from the Killzone 2 target render).
2. Push - I give the author this one. Sony does need to step up it's game on advertising. However, saying that Sony should announce games within a 6-12 month window falls dangerously close to his concerns from "Promise."
Although most people probably don't like it, I appreciate when Sony shows something. Even if that something is over a year away. It makes it seem like Sony has a plan in terms of software support. Besides, it's not Sony's fault for showing these games and then having the internet speculate on release dates.
3. Produce - with 20 first party studios, select third-party exclusives, HOME support from developers, and a continually developing PSN (including exclusive game support), the author's suggestion has been a staple of the PS3 since the second year. In other words, I think Sony already has this covered.
Despite my personal take on this article, I appreciate it's well thought out and articulated content. I don't agree with it all, but it's a definite step up from the moronic ramblings of similar articles.
