I want to give shout outs to Spencer Chi of Aeria Games for ensuring I have access to the Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine beta and to the friendly members of the Atlus USA forums who set me straight about some of the inaccuracies in "Dancing with Demons" regarding the Shin Megami Tensei (SMT) and Persona games. The short of it is that Persona is a spinoff of SMT and MegaTen is pure SMT, taking place between two of the games. It changes nothing: we should check out this game to see if it is both different and good.

Speaking of nothing changing, the Top Ten stays in the same order this week. Even, so I have changed the format once again. Now look for a link to a review for the games that have launched and first impressions for the games in beta. For those games protected by an NDA, we have to wait a bit longer.
