The "Team Madhog's Holiday Special" review is brought you by: "Revolutionary Girl Utena - The Christmas Drinking Game!"

It comes complete with a DVD of "Revolutionary Girl Utena - The Movie" and several gallons of beer! The rules are simple: once you start watching your favourite movie in the whole world, take one sip of your beverage whenever your mind blows, two sips when your brain melts out of your ears, three sips when an aneurysm will cause your nose to bleed and one whole glass if you manage to survive the first five minutes without losing your sense of reality.
It's hours of Fun for the entire family! Order it now and you shall receive a gold medal for your guts.
(Warning: a prolonged exposition to heavy allegoric symbolism might cause you a brain tumor. Handle with care).
 

If you happen to be a hardcore, niche-oriented gamer with a particular taste over unique Japan-imported interactive extravaganzas, chances are you might be familiar with the name of Yui Haga. If you're not familiar with the name itself, you're bound to at least be aware of its most renouned visual products - specifically, the outstanding artwork for the acclaimed Tactical-RPG meta-series known as "Disgaea." Which also makes him responsible for giving actual shape to everyone's favourite demon penguin slave, the Prinny.

If you are wondering what kind of projects does Haga-san busy himself with when he's not drawing pictures of flat-chested half-naked succubi... well, he's actually drawing and writing stories about flat-chested half-naked succubi. Yui Haga, as an independent artist (and I use the term loosely), is quite renowned for his huge lolicon fanbase. In other words, his stories are made for an audience of paedophiles - I am not even kidding here. The person that provided a unique aesthetical dimension to the self-aware, self-bashing satyrical bonanza that defined part of the appeal of the "Disgaea" franchise, when left alone and without direction, actually conceived and published a serialized manga about a 10 years old girl discovering her "love" for a young male adult. Thus, something like "Lotte no Omocha!" (literally translated as "Lotte's Toy!") was allowed to exist in this world. 

What happens when Square thinks they can a Dungeons and Dragons type game?

This thing!

At least I think it's supposed to be...

Possibly the only time when it is acceptable to mix history lessons with video games

This was a HUGE year for RPGs, at least if you go off the numbers.  There are 30 games!  This was not an easy pick, so don't think I just randomly selected these.  I almost wish I'd done a top 10 list for this year because a lot of the RPGs are just plain incredible.

With the release of Final Fantasy 13 near the beginning of the year, Roleplaying games in general continue to advance in complex battles, plot (arguably), and needless to say, graphics. It’s almost surprising to note that Square, the company behind Final Fantasy, has made more franchises than just Final Fantasy, such as Brave Fencer Musashi, the just as popular Kingdom Hearts franchise, the Mana series, and lastly, Parasite Eve and since it's Christmas time and the game takes place during Christmas, what better way to celebrate than to be scared out of your pants.

Being one of the most Artful games of the previous generation, did Odin Sphere really have the content to match it's visuals?

This 'luminous' title should have remained in the dark, out of sight and out of mind.
