Toronto Thumbs writes: "Whenever I moan about not really having a childhood, it's generally understood that I don't deny having been a child. As with everyone else, I started on the first page of life. The idea is that at an early age I began perceiving my surroundings and situation with an air of egotism that made them far more serious and thus less fun. Maturity is often gauged in absence, in the denial of that pure, whimsical and imaginative freedom that childhood represents to those wanting a second helping of it. And one of the more serious pursuits in video games during my childhood was the RPG. They had an air of maturity, doing away with all that fast-paced action and requiring a real effort on my part to play. I'd need to devote weeks of my time to the quest, any down-time spent mapping out strategies and making detailed lists regarding magic, supplies, and enemy HP."

Pretty much. They just toss that plot twist in so stupidly.
"As we say in the 'cast, these aren't necessarily the worst songs in gaming, but they stand out to us as ones we dread. In most cases, they're simply the worst songs out of otherwise great soundtracks." -GR
Wait, how is Rhapsody a "Good Soundtrack?"
Anyway, the museum music in Animal Crossing: New Leaf is like the only song I don't enjoy.
So many albums have THAT song that just highlights how good the rest of the soundtrack is.
I dont want to even know why the $%#/ someone would thin any song in FF9 stains the soundtrack...
Just because a game is geared towards women doesn't mean men will catch cooties from trying it out. This list suggests men give Style Savvy: Trendsetter, Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom, Atelier Meruru, Princess Debut and Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure a chance.
I've enjoyed all the games listed here except for Hakuoki. Princess Debut is my favorite, and one every big burly man should play at least once.
Fantastic list.
If this is your way of justifying kiddie games, then do what you gotta do.
From the Artelier paragraph, 'the heroines are almost always female.' No crap sherlock!
Anyways, its true, one of the reasons I've never tried the Artelier games on PS3 is that it seems girly. Might give it a go as soon as the PSV port is released.
