Matt landed his first gig in the video game review business writing for the now-defunct website BonusStage.com. After the sad and untimely close of BonusStage, the former staff went on to found VGBlogger.com. After a short stint as US Site Manager for AceGamez, Matt assumed full ownership over VGBlogger, and to this day he is dedicated to making it one of the top video game blogs in all the blogosphere.
Matt is a fair-minded reviewer and lover of games of all platforms and types, big or small, hyped or niche, big-budget or indie. But that doesn't mean he will let poor games slide without a good thrashing when necessary! 
I really enjoyed the demo more that I thought I would. Glad to see they are going to see it for $40.
I’m really looking forward to the game and dying to check out the demo, but my damn 360 is off being replaced after breaking down on me for the second time, so it’ll be a few weeks before I get it back still. Hopefully sooner rather than later…
I definitely agree on the cheaper price point for this title. I think Msoft should’ve gone the same route with games like Tenchu Z and the upcoming Vampire Rain as well, neither of those strike me as full priced productions.
…..hate to say I told you so on Tenchu Z, Matt…that franchise is dead and gone, man.
As for this game, I haven’t really followed much of it, as honestly, Square hasn’t done enough to impress me since….well, Final Fantasy XII…and even that didn’t hold my interest like I was hoping it would. Dragon Quest VIII was sweet, but only because it was nostalgic at best as well as a solidly built game. Honestly, I’m looking more forward to the stuff coming out of Mistwalker.
Well, I just got in a copy of Tenchu Z to review, so we’ll see once I get my 360 back. It’s been ripped hard in the reviews so far, but as you well know I don’t trust any reviews from the big sites anymore. I know it’s not going to be the greatest game in the world, but the Tenchu games are always pretty fun if you just take them for what they are.
Getting back on topic, I haven’t followed Project Sylpheed all that much, I just like it when the 360 actually gets some good looking titles that aren’t FPSs. Plus, I’m an admitted Squenix whore, so I’m always interested in any new title from them.
