The Best Japanese Games of 2005

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday December 21, 2005 @09:27AM from the far-side-of-the-world-hits dept.

Next Generation has an article breaking down the 10 best games released in Japan this year. From the article: "This game will debut next year in America as "Steambot Chronicles," which is kind of a cool name. It is an action-adventure about a girl, a young boy with amnesia, and his giant robot. Now, that sentence might describe a hundred thousand animes -- though please, stick around for a minute. There's more: your giant robot looks like a car with legs, the girl is the lead singer in a jazz-blues-rock band whose guitarist might be trying to kill her so he can raise the backup singer to the lead position, and the only possession found on the young boy with amnesia was a harmonica with his name engraved in it. Exciting, huh?"

Not being an anti-social, unconversant nerd (an AC to boot), I expect a more fuller and contextual answer. Perhaps the gentleman who brought it up might share some personal experience about it or provide some particular insight.
There is no 'scam.' Perhaps you should find the proper definition of the term on the net. I have a free Xbox and Ipod from them, and since anyone who helps me get the PSP gets an immediate payoff (I'm not telling them to also 'signup for a free PSP'), there is no scam. But that's probably beyond you. Don't you have a 'no war for oil' protest to go to?
