Why is it whenever someone talks about this game's graphics, they go into how it's all "childish" and "kiddie cartoons" and how they think Star Wars should be "mature and gritty?"  Star Wars has always been about reaching people of all ages, from different cultures.  That, and this game takes place in a time before the universe got what you considered to be "gritty" (although, I have to say, gritty looks pretty colorful from a Star Wars perspective, then).

" Good luck. I'll probably read your reviews. *shrugs* or not. depends on the quality, and how you write. "

" the day after Uncharted 2..... "

Gah, man, am I late.  Anyways, I got the game during the midnight release at Gamestop (since they were releasing Arkham Asylum the same day, they did a combined midnight release), and I love the game.  Initially, it was really awkward, yet simple, and repetitive, but five hours later I was making new items, maxing out my equipment to find the best possible sets, and buying the crap out of everything in the PP catalog.  I think...if you're a Final Fantasy fan, this game is great.  If you are neutral on the whole series, it's a fun arcade-style fighter that you'll keep coming back to.  If you hate the series, well, you probably shouldn't be on this board.

My PS3 is dead, so I've been forced to sate my gaming hunger using my PSP.  It's really not too bad, of course - the PSP has tons of cool games, and it's a great handheld - but I still miss my PS3.  Hopefully I'll have it back around November, but who knows... 
 
I just reviewed Dissidia.  I came to the conclusion that I wanted to start reviewing games based on three thoughts: 
1) Someone may read my reviews and hire me as part of their fledgling game blog staff bitch... 
2) My PS3 is dead, and being that the PSP is my only system, I thought to review the game I had the most time on as of recently... 
and 3) Giant Bomb is an amazing website, and I wanted to contribute to it, so as my first act upon signing up I opted to blight it with my unrighteous writing! 
  
And so I just reviewed Dissidia.  Unfortunately, I doubt anyone who has a PSP will read my review, due to them probably already owning the game, or anyone looking to buy a PSP already knows they want this game due to a multitude of professional reviews already posted online. 
 
That, and my reviews seem a bit too professional, at least to my tastes.  I know it's me writing these reviews, and I could write them any way I want, but the way I naturally go about it is a bit too professional.  I analyze every little bit of the game, criticizing each feature until there is nothing left to examine.  It wasn't always like this, oh no; I used to be a happy, ignorant little gamer until I went to art school to study this stuff, and now I can't help it. 
 
It has taken a bit of the fun away from me, it has.  Now it ain't all "sunshine and rainbows" as Sahz would say (I'll explain this later), and I find myself enjoying games less and less.  I, myself, only buy games I know are good, and check professional sites myself for reviews before going out to Gamestop to lay down the cash. 
 
I think I'm going to stop doing this, though.  Giant Bomb has presented me with the opportunity to read reviews by gamers like myself, who are intelligent enough not to spread dumb fanboy hate, and who just want to enjoy games and help others enjoy the same kinds of games they find pleasure in.  A better world.  A simpler world.  A happier world. 
 
Or maybe that's a bit too sappy, haha... 
 
In any case, hello, Giant Bomb!  Thanks for having me...we're going to be good friends.
