"GamingUnion: "Potentially, Persona 3 could have been a train wreck. A spinoff of the Shin Megami Tensei series, it features randomly generated stages, with a huge focus on dungeon crawling.

"Much like the classic rock station I catch myself listening to on a daily basis, I feel that Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) is still a healthy part of my gaming diet. Sure, the more modern day games in the series are akin to Guns N' Roses’ Chinese Democracy, but I still enjoy the titles that are the video game equivalent of GnR’s pre-Axl Rose weight gain."

"PushStartSelect: "I find stories with a female lead fascinating most of the time because it’s a good twist on your stereotypical story revolving around a guy character. A lot of key dynamics change, and emotions are brought about for various reasons. This isn’t to say they are weaker or anything like that, but different and its cool. So here are five female lead games that I think should see a return in some shape or form soon!""
