Though I think I may enjoy the Persona franchise the most when it comes to the series as a whole, it's hard denying that every game in the Shin Megami Tensei franchise is still an amazing, fun, and dark treat for the JRPG gamers out there. Along comes Strange Journey, which is technically the first spiritual sequel to the original Shin Megami Tensei games that Atlus hasn't done for quite some time. So how does this return to the franchise's roots work given today's technology and expectations? As it turns out, very damn well indeed.

It was just revealed that Scribblenauts 2 will be coming to the DS this fall. I thought the original was a promising game, but it had too many flaws - namely the same items could be used to solve many of the levels, but most importantly, the game had some horrible controls. Scribblenauts 2 is sounding promising, however, as they're fixing the controls and adding adjectives to the mix.

"According to GoNintendo's notes from the issue, Scribblenauts 2 will have the sort of additions and improvements you'd expect for a game all about random vocabulary: It'll have a whopping 10,000 new words, 120 "new and improved" levels, improved controls (one of the major complaints with the first game), a new hint system, a fleshed out level editor, and apparently it'll focus heavily on adjectives. That last one could potentially open the gameplay possibilities quite a bit, considering adjectives could be used to modify the things you create. For example, maybe you aren't just able to conjure a T-Rex, but a rotund T-Rex? Or -- could you imagine -- a delighted T-Rex?"

I'm torn about this game every time I see it. I love RPGs (especially on the DS) and it's got a sci-fi setting, so that's a plus too. With that said, however, I don't know too much about the story and they don't ever really show what the actual gameplay looks like. See what you think.

Okay, I'm officially calling it - Traveler's Tales is milking the hell out of LEGO games. Take for example their Star Wars games. I had no problem with them covering the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy, but now they've just announced Lego Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars. Really? A new Lego game based on the cartoon series? So the franchise has proved so popular you need to find some way to continually milk it.

Don't be surprised when you see Lego Star Wars 4: The Novels announced. I can already see the Lego cutscene where the moon falls on Chewie.

I loved the original Puzzle Quest, as it blended two genres together – puzzle and RPG – and did so in a spectacular way. Along comes Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes, which continues the tradition of the genre mash-up, but with a new puzzle system and plenty of strategy to take into consideration. If the idea of an RPG meets strategy game meets puzzle game sounds intriguing to you, this just might be the game to keep you busy.

I think I've played more Dragon Ball games than any other franchise. The one consistent that I've learned when it comes to this franchise is that if there's a good game to be found, it's generally only when it comes to the fighting game genre (and even then they aren't always perfect). Side-scrolling beat 'em ups – pass. Card battling game – it was okay. I've never played a Dragon Ball based RPG before now, however, but it seems like there's a reason for that…it doesn't make for that great a game.
