Famitsu reviews (Apr 15 issue)

Demento and Shadow of Rome scored better on Famitsu compared to the US mags. Anyone here own Shadow of Rome and is there enough reason for me to tear off the shrinkwrap off this sucker?

Shadow of Rome is pretty fun. The stealth portion gets a bad rep, but they are pretty varied and feel more puzzly by design than true bonafide sneakfests. The gladiatorial matches are pretty thrilling though, and the plot is just silly enough to be great.

That's odd -- Nintendogs is already out. It hasn't been reviewed yet?

BTW Jonny, did you get it yet? I'm passing for now, but I figured you might have picked it up already. If so, please drop some impressions! :)

what what what!? it's not due until next Thursday. Was FE also out?
Oh, whoops -- my bad. AV thought it was this week so that got me to thinking it was this week... but I just checked and I guess it is next week after all. Sorry!

Yeah, I'm really not that interested in this one. If it turns out to be really amazing, maybe I'll get it for H or something. But me personally... nah...

EDIT: Also, I sold Egg Monster like 30 minutes after I turned it on! And I actually like Pac-Pix. :)

Everybody needs to stop posting in this thread before the double entendres cause GAF to implode.

well, you don't exactly fit the 13-18 year old pig tailed short skirted female demographics... so its kind of understandable really.

Where do this scores come from anyway? And wasn't Famitsu worthless according to some members? They don't even finish the games they play I heard.

Guess what? Most review places don't finish every single game they review.
