Just in time for my birthday, I picked up a copy of Disgaea 3 last night.  So far, it's right on the money with that same blend of quirky humor and addictive SRPG gameplay that made the first two great.  The jump to the HD era hasn't made too much of a dent in the game's graphics, which are still decidedly PS1 era, but at least it's nice to see it in widescreen and higher resolution for some of the story artwork. 

But really, who plays Disgaea for lush photorealistic graphics?  Nobody.

Anyways, I'm not too far in but Xavier and I had a blast playing it together last night.  My only annoyance so far is that I hate the voice acting for Mao, the main character, but the rest of it is quite well done.  Of course, out today is Tales of Vesperia, and Mercenaries 2 on Sunday, so hopefully D3 won't be a casualty of the imminent game crunch.

I guess I'm on a PS3 tear lately -- still trying to finish up Metal Gear Solid 4, and I try to do an episode of Siren every night when I can.  I'm doing it one episode at a time and reading along in parallel with the Game Diary series Tom Chick did on it over on Fidgit which is a lot of fun.  More on Siren later maybe, but so far it is right up there with my favorites in the survivor horror genre, which I totally did not expect.
