Japanese franchises that are nothing like Final Fantasy0
Because people who keep saying "JAPAN IS DONE IN THE WEST BECAUSE FINAL FANTASY SUCKS NOW" annoy the hell out of me.

GOG-fest 20100
I regret nothing.

Playstation Download Meltdown '090
Because I had too much money, and too much time.

Favorites0
Everyone has a favorites list. I can't really remember everything I like since I sorta have to be in the right frame of mind to even remember stuff I liked or still like. Played many games...

XBox games sitting on my shelf 0
Just want a list of the games I own, since I'm starting Toulose LauTrack of them.

Mortal Kombat characters I like to play0
I find myself usually playing certain MK characters, preferring some over others. This is my attempt to figure out just how many there really are.

Wii games people apparently like0
Where I try to list all the games people tend to like, to help counter the blind hatred some people have for the Wii because the franchise is successful without these folks having given any money to Nintendo. I've not even SEEN a Wiimote in person,

Favorite Publishers/Developers0
Everybody has their bad games, but these publishers and developers have churned out enough great stuff for me to keep me genuinely interested in their work, even if it goes into genres I ordinarily don't play. If there's one on this list, I highly re

Game Boy games I TOTALLY own0
I mean "own" as in have in my possession; I haven't even beaten Tactics Ogre or Tactics Advance yet.

I've watched these all the way through but never played them0
Tired of being left behind in games conversations, I've just watched the games I've begun watching others play games I've wanted to see. It's not usually the ideal method, obviously, but some of the elements in most games can be enjoyed no matter ho

Intriguing Minimalism0
I don't know why, but white-on-black minimalism somehow does something to my brain. I can't get enough of it. Maybe it started when I saw the white halls of Bespin in Empire Strikes Back, only to find the corruption within. This theme was repeate

Inspiring Premise0
Whether or not I know a thing about the game itself, the premise causes creative sparks in my brain.

Games Purchased in Tokyo Summer 20090
This is the list of games I acquired in my trip to Tokyo during the summer of 2009. The majority of them are probably from Super Potato in Akihabara, but there are probably other sources, too.

Arcade Games Played in Tokyo Summer 20090
Game centers in Tokyo are a pretty damn flashy spectacle and as long as you don't have epilepsy, that's in a good way. This is thusly a list of arcade games I gave some love to over the course of my trip in summer 2009.

Soul Calibur characters I like, or play frequently0
Started playing Soul Calibur II when we had a guest over, and got reacquainted with the game. Wanted to record some of my thoughts on the game by highlighting some of my favorite characters, both ones I play, and ones that look cool but don't happen

Games which trigger my rage gene0
With everyone a bit weary over the mindless, screaming debates of late, I thought I'd commemorate a bit of my personal gaming rage in a short list of games that make me go a bit crazy.

If Pepsiman were a developer, she'd be taking notes from these games.0
Good games or bad, if I were ever to be in a designing position at a game developer, these are the ones on which I'd be taking notes. By no means is this a "best of" list, though; sometimes the greatest hits offer the fewest lessons because of how th

Quirky Games Worth Checking Out0
Sometimes it's a premise too abstract to ever make gangbusters in the mainstream. Sometimes it's got a unique sort of charm you just can't find elsewhere. Whatever the reason, these are games that, while very likely flawed in some way, are still wort

Games I Own That Go Against My Conscience0
Bad games are bad games, no matter how you slice them, but sometimes it's precisely because of their mediocrity that they're still worth buying anyway. That's what this list is for, compiling games I know I probably shouldn't own, but have acquired a

Games with Iconic Final Boss Battles (Spoilers much?)0
For some reason or other, these are the games whose final bouts within the main storyline stuck out the most to me. It might be the gameplay, it might be the difficulty, it might be something else altogether. When a game knows how to not make its las

Abstract Game of the Year Awards 20090
[blank] of the year awards tend to be rather cliched affairs at times, even if I'm not helping by making my own lists. To rectify that, the following is a list of 2009 games that would get more abstract awards from me. It doesn't necessarily take a w

Games That Have Deprived Me of Study Time at the Worst Opportunities0
Ordinarily, I'm a pretty studious person. I have my book-cramming and paper-writing schedule more or less set into stone so I can properly budget free time into my routine. This tends to work out pretty well. I get stuff done and usually still have e

Characters I'd Gladly Push Off a Cliff0
Sometimes there are characters who just have it coming. They're bad people/things that haven't really done the best job at existing and because of that have made your time dealing with them, even electronically a living hell. These aren't necessarily

Current Top 10 Games of All Time (No particular order)0
This list is just 10 Games that I absolutely loved when I first played and still love today. I could put more, maybe later I'll do a Top 100.

Things Chie Would Enjoy More If They Were Like Steak0
In the Persona 4 canon, it's well established that Chie. Loves. Steak. A lot. You hear about this in the game often enough to the point where it's really surprising there isn't more fan art of her having romantic relationships with that than, sa

Games I'd Buy Just For the Box Art0
Good box art is something that's really unappreciated, even in this age of people debating about the artistic value of video games. At their best, they not only tell you at a glance what a game is about, but what makes it special and why it should ma

Abstract Game of the Year Awards 20100
In continuing with last year's list, the premise for these game of the year awards is simple: Absolutely every game that's come out within the past year is a winner in some regard if you think hard enough. It doesn't matter how arbitrary or

One-Hit Wonders: One Game Per Series That's Completely Worth Playing0
Like movies and books, successful games that were once an original IP have a knack for getting sequels and spawning entire series in their wake. What this list seeks to do is simple: Take a series of games and boil them down to one entry that I perso

Pepsiman's Shopping List0
Even if it's economically detrimental to me in the end, I like hoarding my video games. Save for a few instances where I sold games that I either had extra copies of or just disliked extremely, I've more or less held on to every game I've ever gotten

When Games Were Still Just Games: Returning to the Roots0
A lot of games these days take themselves too seriously. All too often, developers half-heartedly attempt to provide some grander justification for their gameplay mechanics to provide alleged immersion or believability for the player. Usually, this a

Games Played at TGS 20110
Even if TGS isn't a particularly relevant event anymore even for Japanese games, it was always on my to-do list as a purveyor of video games if I were ever in Japan at the right time just so that I could witness the sheer spectacle of it. Considering

Games Purchased in Japan- Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 Semesters0
Much like the last time I was in Japan, this current outing in Japan is for relatively serious business, what with it involving a study abroad gig and all. I'm here primarily to make my language skills more competent and lay the groundwork for what w

Putting Yourself on a Pedastol: Pepsiman's List of "Educational" Japanese Games0
It should be no revelation when I say that if all you're doing when you're learning a language is practicing textbook exercises and using formulaic sentences, you're not making the most of your time nor your potential. Most of the battle of becoming

Pepsiman's Neglected Reviews0
This is probably true for most everyone that plays and writes about games in a non-professional capacity, but I tend to play and complete a lot more games than what I actually get around to reviewing. But sometimes there are games that I mean to or o

Game of the Year 20120
Honourable mention to Torchlight 2 which was the last game to be cut to finish the top ten list. And Persona 4 Golden. Persona 4 is one of my most favourite games of all time , but sadly since I didn't play P4:Golden and don't own the Vita I can't et
