  • Sony's new RPG for PS2, "The Devild and I". Holy crap.....this "looks" good and different.

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>This looks like Tim Burton's stop motion animation of his twisted tale of Halloween characters invading Christmas land(forgot the movie's title).

Read the games description <a href="http://www.sonysource.com/previews/inde ... 0">here</a> for more information. It will be released in Japan on March 15th. Sony Computer Entertainment is the developer(or producer) and will surely send this good looking gem over to the US of A. Basically, the main character's sister is dying and he's aided by the Devil(by possessing the boy's shadow) to save her life but in turn, would like the boy to help the Devil regain his riteful place as King of the Devils.

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>hehe, I can see some storyline changes will have to be made before they'll let this puppy fly in America...You're being aided by the Devil to win the game...people will get made about that...Oh dear, I've started a Rumination thread...and I said "oh dear"...</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>I dunno. It's still pretty sad, and a disgusting double standard. Rarely do other religions ever get games changed for them, even when the game has an ACTUAL insult within it.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>I agree. If games like Diablo, Legacy of Kain...among others are published, this should be just fine after a name change.</div>
