Persona 2: Tsumi Preview
We played the first few hours of the first half of the Persona 2 saga, now made mobile for the PSP.
The Shin Megami Tensei series has a cult following outside of Japan that goes back as far as the first game that was localized in English for the PlayStation (Revelations: Persona), all the way up to the recent game on the PlayStation 2 (Persona 4). GameSpot Asia recently tried out the first few hours of the second Persona game that came out on the PlayStation in 1998, specifically the first half of the game subtitled Tsumi (or "Innocent Sin"), which has recently been released on the PSP in Japan.
The plot is about main character Tatsuya and his schoolmates who are embroiled in an urban myth that is turning real. The myth is that whenever a person calls his or her own cell phone number, this summons a demon called the Joker, who either grants you a wish or kills you outright. When Tatsuya and his other friends--glam rocker-esque Eikichi and Japanese-speaking American blonde Lisa--put this to the test, the Joker appears and proclaims that he has a grudge against them for a sin they may have committed in a past life. The story then takes a turn into the strange as the students are given personas by an observer called Philemon to combat supernatural demons and get to the bottom of this mystery. Joining the three are teen magazine reporter Maya and her photographer, Yukino, the only returning playable character from the first Persona.

Lord of Arcana Review
Lord of Arcana Review
Tedious quests and dull, infuriating combat make this one fantasy adventure whose monsters you won't want to hunt.
The Good
- Becoming more powerful and earning better gear is satisfying
- A few nifty stylistic flourishes in battle.
The Bad
- Combat is tedious and repetitive
- Bosses employ some infuriating tricks and take far too long to defeat
- Frequent loading times and other minor annoyances
- Bland visuals.
Taking on quests, killing monsters, and slowly advancing from a relative weakling into the greatest warrior the realm has ever seen. It's the stuff of legends passed down from generation to generation, and when it's done right, it's the stuff of thrilling video games, too. But alas, though a journey from zero to hero is at the heart of Lord of Arcana, the thrills are absent. Instead, the road to becoming a well-equipped, powerful fighting machine in Lord of Arcana is paved with frustration and tedium.
