Thursday, June 5, 2008



From Atlus USA

Customize your character with Magatama, living parasites that grant the host demonic powers
Your choices will lead you to follow one of several ideologies which ultimately will determine the fate of the entire world
Play more than 50 hours of gameplay

Whilst not completely flawless, 'Nocturne' is about as close as it's possible to get. Along with games such as ICO and Okami, it oozes quality in every way. The quasi-spiritual/religious and apocalyptic themes, and frequently challenging gameplay make for a welcome change in a genre filled with generic, unimaginative and too-easy button-mashers. Special mention must go to the graphics, which are amongst the most stylish and beautifully accomplished ever seen in a videogame.
