Broken up into neat little chunks, The 3rd Birthday is ideal for portable gaming – handy, with it being a PSP game – and its mix of action, RPG elements, a challenging (though sometimes unfair) level of difficulty and a few nifty tricks to keep things ...
Abstract: Am I playing this on the PlayStation 3? However silly and deranged that sounds, it was my first thought when I began 3rd Birthday. I'm not one to begin a critique raving about how gorgeous a game is, but it's stunning (not just Aya mind you) and-as I s...
Abstract: A note to anybody who lives in (or plans on visiting) New York City: If you ever find yourself standing next to Aya Brea while waiting for the subway, then it's time to catch the next ride out of there. When it comes to weird supernatural events takin...
