For week number two of our new weekly feature “games that will cost you a kidney,” we have another Japanese role-playing game from the genre’s golden decade. The game? Lunar 2: Eternal Bue Complete. While our focus will be on the PlayStation 1 version, know that the original Sega CD version is retailing for $499.99…
Before I write anything else, I must confess that I was never a big fan of the original Metal Gear Solid game on the PlayStation. It is not that I didn’t like the game or appreciate what it did for the stealth and action adventure genres on Sony’s little gray machine. My issue with it…
