I know I've said it a million times, but this is probably the most emotionally kickass game I've ever played in my life.

If you are feeling like checking it out for yourself, go to the following URL and follow the directions there:

We can only hope... or pray... that someday the game will get its proper release here in the United States. But seeing as how it's one of those games that makes you actually care what happens (and that anything even happens at all besides killin' in the name), I wouldn't bet on it.

Still, thank goodness this game was made. "Mother 3" makes me want to be a better person. I wish I could explain why that is. All I know is that I can't say the same for just about anything I've seen -- movie, book, or otherwise, in at least a decade. less
