'Odin Sphere' embraces 2-D
Whatever else it does, "Odin Sphere" proves one thing: Flat is not dead. The game actually holds a position on the PS2 much like "Valkyrie Profile's" on the PSOne. Both games were made toward the end of their consoles' life spans, when a new generation of systems was taking shape. And both eschew the newer style of 3-D graphics for a fluid, expressive 2-D art style.

'Tomb Raider: Anniversary,' 'Mario Party 8'
Lara Croft's first adventure appeared nearly 11 years ago. The series has had its ups and downs, but it wisely revisits its roots with "Tomb Raider: Anniversary," which takes the plot and locations of "Tomb Raider" and rebuilds them into a good-looking, modernized version of the game.

Can PS3 survive much longer?
The latest U.S. monthly sales numbers for video-game consoles came out last week, and you almost have to feel sorry for the PS3. The PS3 is doing so poorly, and it's costing Sony so much money, that I wonder how much longer Sony can afford to keep this albatross around its neck.

Vallahalla Knights looks good, lacks action
It may be a sizable dungeon crawl with a great degree of customization, but the action-role-playing game "Valhalla Knights" suffers from a serious lack of personality, among other flaws.

FullMetal Alchemist (48)

FullMetal Alchemist"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only truth."

3 Wise-asses (15)

3wiseassesWe're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!) We call it insight, you call it what you will.

Ravings, rantings, and gibberish. (36)

DrewWhat is up FoCo? I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado. I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks. Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know! --Drew
