For fellow PS3 users, no doubt you've seen this game plastered all over the PSN store, as it's both a new release and a weekly deal. On the surface it touts itself as an old skool style RPG, with its generically clever title that is clearly a mashup of Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy.

Well. I picked it up mostly out of boredom. I played for perhaps 30 minutes before recognizing I'd made a terrible mistake. This is a game trying to emulate the charm of classic RPG franchises and failing, ...

I thought being short-handed last night would be the worst of our problems. I was very much wrong.

Ah, Sunday. The traditional day of rest. Considering that I work Tuesday-Saturday every week, tis a sorely needed one too. And since nothing really happens on Sundays, a good time to hang around and do things around the house.
