Great article - you wrote exactly what I've been thinking for a few years. I almost quit gaming altogether until Demon's Souls pulled me back in. "Games" like L.A. Noire and Skyrim make me sleepy. Bayonetta put blisters on my thumbs.

This was really cool I've always been a big fan of Yamane and Uematsu keep up the good work

caketoo you hit the nail right on the head. If a game is advertised all over the place it's guaranteed at least 7.5.
