Nice review :)

Aria of Sorrow is my favorite of the series. The controls are snappy and smooth; graphics and sound are high quality; and the "tactical soul" system gives the game great depth and replay value.

Aria of Sorrow? Better than Dawn of Sorrow? No damn way.. Still a very good game!

Good review, I have to play this one again because a lot of people say is better than Dawn of Sorrow, however I remember liking DoS a lot more. However the art style in AoS is definitely better.

Two biased reviews in a day? You must be really bored.

Great game, too bad that they ditched the "gothic" artstyle in the sequel I liked it a lot.

I can make that three, if you want to read about Professor Layton 6.

*yawn* This boredom of yours must be really contagious... I spent a whole hour typing this message... *zzz*

Make it four, do one for Pokemon Shuffle!
