Shin Megami Tensei: Persona

By Azmol Meah

Seen in retrospect, a Persona title stripped of its highly acclaimed social link gameplay is a soulless, characterless, frustrating, and (quite frankly) often boring experience. [30 September 2009]

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2

By G. Christopher Williams

Through its gameplay, Devil Summoner 2 seems to represent a strange drama about the relationship between religion and the political world, exposing gaps that may exist between ethical systems and the political causes that they intend to inform. [26 June 2009]

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4

By L.B. Jeffries

The story of Persona 4 is about our relationship with the masks we wear to get through life and the ones we observe on television. [5 December 2008]

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES

By Mike Schiller

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne

By Josh Lee

Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2

By Mike Sage

Playing DDS2 without having endured the first one is a bit like watching Kill Bill: Vol. 2 without having seen Vol. 1. [1 January 1995]
