Let me start by saying that I love this game franchise... SOULREAVER WAS AWESOME!
It was a rare couple of video games where the voice acting, story, and overall mood of the content was harmoniously engaging for me....

But, if your not in Philly, just scope out this post here, and lemme know what you think...
I hope you dig...
