it's easy to write off the psp post of persona 2: innocent sin due to its frustrating battle system, but doing so means you miss out on a brilliant story with incredible depth i don't believe the persona series has come close to replicating since. i fell in love w this game slowly, then all at once, similarly to how the plot plays out in a surprising mirror of the game's events,,, but that's where innocent sin's beauty lies. it's a game w shocking depth when you take the time to look at it from every angle, and it has a lot to say abt the nature of truth and trauma. one's father may define them, but overcoming said father will lead to self-actualisation; quite a hopeful message, if i'm honest, in a society where older generations pull up the ladder on younger generations. we don't need success and the security of turning into the same dusty, grey men our fathers are. we can become our own ppl, follow our own dreams, and live w youthful exuberance.
perhaps the pain in that lies in innocent sin's deepest conflict, which i won't spoil here. everything in this game has a duality; hope links to hopelessness, arrogance links to shattered self-esteems, freedom ties right in w enmeshment by the time the curtain falls. sumaru's a fascinating city w a wealth of depth (hell, the duality's present on the bloody map!) and the way rumours intersect w ppl's dreams and anxieties give innocent sin added stakes. not only are you fighting yourself and the life that's been laid out for you, but you're also fighting a world that's suffering from the same dilemma. there are those who see the world as heading towards life, and those who steer it towards destruction, but you have the power to change, however small or big. ripples turn into waves, mistakes turn into disaster, yet innocent sin always offers you a chance to keep dreaming.
i didn't expect this game to affect me so deeply, and yet i couldn't stop crying for hours afterwards. giving others that experience would be a joy.
Played this one out of order, here in the US we originally only got Persona 2: Eternal Punishment and missed out on Persona 2: Innocent Sin which was unfortunate as it left me pining for this game for years.
However, eventually they released it in this region for PSP and I loved P2: EP enough that I had to buy a PSP to play this one for seeing the other side of the story. Was the PSP port perfect, no. Yet I was far from disappointed, I just feel lucky to finally have experienced the whole story.

Wolfenstein RPGWolfenstein RPG is a first-person shooter and role-playing video game developed by id Software and Fountainhead Entertainment, released in September 2008 for mobile phones and in May 2009 for iOS. In 2013 the game was removed from App Store.
The gameplay follows the recipe from Doom RPG as it is shown in the first person while being a turn-based role-playing game rather than a shooter and puts emphasis on the plot. Combat and movement are turn-based, allowing the player time to select their responses in combat. The player turns at 90 degree angles and moves space by space. One step or action by the player allows all other characters in the area to take one step or action themselves. The game takes advantage of its deliberately slow pace, encouraging players to take their time and check out every little corner, read the books on every bookshelf, and destroy all the furniture to see if anything is hidden within. Levels include underground passages and weapon development laboratories plus a level involving a moving vehicle.
The game also includes two mini games: the card game War as well as Chicken Kicking, where the player is awarded points for kicking a chicken into a score area.Action Historical

A lot of critics ranked Breath of the Wild as one of the best video games of all time.Open world Action Fantasy Science fiction Sandbox Survival Drama
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind WakerThe Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is the 10th sequel of the Legend of Zelda action-adventure series. It's the first game of the series to be set on a group of islands in the sea. Therefore, many of Link's actions base on sailing and travelling from island to island, making a baton for controlling the wind the key item of the game.
Wind Waker is the first game of the Series with a cel-shaded graphic style. Since fans expected a Zelda game with realistic graphics like being shown at the Space World in 2000, the cel-shading look was critisized and discussed controversial for being too cartoonish.Action Fantasy
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight PrincessThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was initially developed with the Nintendo GameCube in mind, but ended up receiving a Wii port when it was released to promote the new console. This version has motion control compatibility for the sword and pointer controls for the menus, the bow and the boomerang. This version of the game has a completely inverted map and locations when comparing with the GameCube release. The change in layout was meant to adapt Link's usually left-handed design to right-handed people, given the motion controls.Action Fantasy
