Can a 45-year-old man maintain a marriage and a videogame habit? Let's find out!

Still enjoying Disgaea 3

A couple weeks ago, my wife and I picked up Disgaea 3. As a tactics-style RPG, it’s more my cup of tea than my wife’s, but she has said she thinks the game is cute and maybe even funny and she likes watching me play it.

Of course, it’s less satisfying for her than a game we both enjoy, which is why tonight we picked up Prince of Persia. Still, Disgaea is a series I’ve enjoyed since its inception and while it may not push the PS3 at all technologically, it’s still a darn fun series.

It may not have the cardboard displays and full support at retail that Prince of Persia did, but Disgaea 3 is more likely to chart near the top of my personal faves list.

Best PS3 releases for September 2008

All the fat burners in the world don’t get me as psyched-up as pouring over the PS3 releases for this month, one of the liveliest in several months. But instead of wasting money trying to buy them all, here’s VideogameVagabond.com’s selections for only the very best titles.

Disgaea 3 – Atlus

Disgaea 3 is the first installment in the series to appear on PS3. Although the graphics are not up to next-gen par, the story and gameplay are sure to be a hit with any fan of the series. Available now.

Silent Hill Homecoming – Konami

Whether you get it on 360 or PS3, this survival horror franchise is always worth the time and investment on any platform. While Resident Evil prefers the George A. Romero-style grossouts, Silent Hill is a more subtle, psychological style of horror game that will please Stephen King and Clive Barker fans. Available September 30.

And that’s it. Sorry, but we don’t care for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Not our cup of tea.
