Mary Huang |
Let's not mince words: the realities of aging and dying are not exactly the loveliest topics you could be thinking about.

Even diehard fans of the series joked that the game title indicated how long we’d have to wait for it to come to North America. But finally, Star Ocean: Till the End of Time has arrived, in a shiny Director’s Cut edition, no less.
