If Pepsiman were a developer, she'd be taking notes from these games. 5
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 Out 10
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 Conscience 5
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?) 8
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

Games That Have Deprived Me of Study Time at the Worst Opportunities 6
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 Cliff 8
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

Things Chie Would Enjoy More If They Were Like Steak 16
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 Art 0
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

Pepsiman's Shopping List 4
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 Roots 0

Games Played at TGS 2011 7
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 Semesters 10

Putting Yourself on a Pedastol: Pepsiman's List of "Educational" Japanese Games 4

Pepsiman's Neglected Reviews 0
