Nostalgia Mode Initiate: Looking for Modern Gems vol. 3

I cannot express to you how miserably I am failing over here.  I keep looking for gems for the current gen consoles that you people might not have bothered with or perhaps have even heard of.  So enters Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire.  I...okay first, let me explain a few things.  I know this game was basically a launch title for the ps3, I know that it recieved poor reviews, and I know that it has been under $10 one the used rack since the game was released (and has been sitting on the shelf for that period of time too).  But what I don't know, is why, for seemingly no other reason than self mutilation, that I was willing to subject myself to this torture.

The Wrath, the Witch, and the Male Fairy Shizuku

There are few games in this world that can match the charm, wit, beauty, and grand scale that a game like Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch can offer us.  For those of you who read my preview, you probably remember that this game paints a beautifully stylized picture of a world that looks and feels like a Studio Ghibli movie (otherwise known as Miyazaki films).  This game is a port from Japan of a game originally released on the Nintendo DS back in 2009, so remember that while you are in awe of the design and presentation of this invigorating title.  So if you haven't heard of this game before, or haven't decided whether or not this JRPG would be worth a damn, read on and hear what I have to say about the game that charms the world over.
