   This weeks midweek madness is The Last Remnant a really good looking RPG for 75% of the usual price. In the UK you pay only £7.49 which equates to just over $10. The offer is good till 17th Dec. There’s more games available for anywhere from 25% to 75% off which I mention at the end of this deal. They are good till Friday 18th Dec.

   THE GAME:

   Mitra, yama, qsiti, sovani...
   These four races exist in one world.
   A world filled with Remnants — mysterious artifacts from an ancient era.
   Who created the Remnant? How long ago? And for what purpose?
   With these questions left unanswered, the Remnants became beneficial tools used for the good of civilization.

   The world was at peace...or so it seemed. Who was to know such darkness lay in wait?
   The powers of the Remnants slowly began to change the world's balance.
   A rift slowly formed between those who ruled and those who obeyed.
   This was the dawning of a new era — an era of countless frays that would be brought upon the world by those enslaved by their own lust for power.

   A thousand years later, the journey of one young man begins.

   I'd like to get this for the price, but I have just never been a fan of these Japanese 10,000 each hit games. It is a crazy stupid system that doesn't make any sense to me.

   I guess it is because I come from the old Dungeons and Dragons world were had to create characters on paper and had to roll 20 sided dice to tally up for a point system. Oh, and you can't for the all powerful Dungeon Master,lol.

   I think this maybe the difference between the two societies and as youth grows up in just the digital world this may be why those style of games are grabbing a foothold here.

   Ya know,the Japanese have wonderful and beautiful culture and history, but I watch their sports and see their games and they have the most blood thirsty side to any race. They have full contact no holds barred fighting, like U.S. Ultimate Fighting Championship, as a national sport. I was watching a broadcast here in Oklahoma the other day during prime-time, because of its popularity.
   I only say this cause they bring their children to it. Here UFC is banned in most all the states, but like 2 or 3 and you have to watch the fights on payper view or buy the dvd.

   The point of all that was the point system. It has grown from a small to large system and to a super large system that is unproportional. I don't know maybe it is because it is easier for the programmers to use larger number. They don't have to think so hard and make the everything work so well together.

   Anybody else have any ideas?
