Eternal Poison (Poison Pink was the title of the Japanese version) is a PlayStation2 strategy-RPG released by Atlus on 11/11/08. It's got decent graphics, as most PS2 games do; it uses a tile-based system similar to the Disgaea series of strategy-RPGs and apparently includes some Pokemon-esque collection elements. It's also got some very nice gothic-inspired art, which is what caught my interest in the first place.
Generally speaking, though, it's almost entirely unremarkable. I don't think it's going to change the gaming landscape - in fact, I really don't think it's going to make any sort of splash at all. I see lots and lots of reviews in the 5.o-6.0 range in Eternal Poison's future shortly after being released, and I'd wager money on at least one reviewer calling it unoriginal, unimpressive, too difficult, or a bore. It's an Atlus game, after all.
I'm not sure, then, why I've decided to make it my favorite game and play nothing else from the day it's released to the day I finish it. Likewise, I'm not sure why I'm going to write about it as I play it, much less include screenshots and video. Whether I know why I'm doing it or not, though, that's the plan, and that's what this blog is for. Feel free to follow along, whether you're one of the five other people in the world who plans to purchase this game or just an interested (disgusted? bored?) bystander. Hopefully we'll have a good time! More likely, I'll have an overwhelmingly mediocre time that'll be made a bit more fun via blogging about it, and all of you will have a good time.
