If my scruffy sunburned visage above hasn't clued you in on which game you need to buy, you need glasses. The game in question is none other than
Shin Megami Tensei's Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon. Aside from having one of the longest titles ever, the game is friggin' awesome to boot. As our residential Atlus fanatic and Dtoid editor, Dale put it:
"Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon is a title that breaks away from old role-playing conventions to introduce a fast-paced action game play that anyone can enjoy. It's a fun, approachable game set in an interesting world, and it tells a great story that you won't have to spend 80+ hours to finish."

here, here is a spoiler. It got a 9 rating.
So what's the price drop? Five bucks. I know, I know, it doesn't seem like a lot of money off it for you to consider purchasing it but I beg to differ.
Gamestop apparently still have plenty in stock and it's the special edition with the Jack Frost plushie. That plushie is sexy. Not only that but even if by chance you hate super awesome RPGs, buy it anyway and hoard it like Wry Guy is probably doing now. On
Ebay right now the price of this game is going up to Eighty bucks. That's an instant profit should you choose to sell your copy of it instead of playing it (
The Horror! ). Here's the Gamestop ad.
The store around my neck of the woods had three left. I bought an extra copy. I urge you ladies & gentlemen of Destructoid to do likewise and snag you a copy or two and give one as a gift to your fellow gamer for Christmas or something. Did I mention how kickass this game is? It's kickass.
Fo reals man. Grab some Rogaine and get that back fast.
The endings kinda suck though...
You do not need to play the 1st game to get into this game. It is not a prerequisite. As for the gameplay check out Dale's thorough review of it in his review linked above. It will answer all of your queries. I LOVE it.
Damn me and my conscience.
I believe that the plushie is Raiho, not Jack Frost. Its annoying that the mascot plushie is a demon that is found through an obscure side mission two cities over from where the actual plot is happening.
