We're down to just one missing issue of Sendai's P.S.X. magazine, and it's this one. Anyone out there possibly have this stashed away?

Hazy Bit #7 - I'm playing Onimusha: Warlords, the short but sweet first game in the Onimusha series. It hasn't held up the best, but it's still a solid action game.

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth - May 28, 2009 (DS, JP)
In this first entry of the Ace Attorney spin-off series, you play as series mainstay Miles Edgeworth as he searches for evidence and interrogates witnesses. I haven't played it, but I assume there's a lot of finger-pointing.

What was your first console? 🎮
I got a SNES when I was 4 or 5 years old. A lot of my early memories are tied to that little grey and purple box. I spent so many summer days playing Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, NBA Jam, and TMNT: Tournament Fighters with my brother and cousins.

WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames! - May 26, 2003 (GBA, NA)
Easily one of the most addictive games on GBA, the first WarioWare featured over 210 "microgames" coming at you with ever-increasing speed. I've been playing this one recently through NSO and it's been a lot of fun to revisit.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong - May 24, 2004 (GBA, NA)
Mario and DK have always had a slightly strained relationship.
In Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Mario must rescue his Mini-Mario toys from DK by solving puzzles and battling him across different levels. This GBA title was also remade in 2024 for the Switch.

Digimon World - May 23, 2000 (PS, NA)
The first entry in the Digimon World series has you rescuing Digimon all over File Island. This one sticks with me for its approach to the monster raising RPG subgenre when compared to Pokemon and even its own sequels.
Imagine Pokemon with bathroom breaks.

Red Faction - May 22, 2001 (PS2, NA)
It's 2075, you work in the mines of Mars, you have few rights, and disease is rampant. Sounds like a good time for an uprising!
Red Faction has been on my backlog for quite a long time now. Have you played Red Faction or any of its sequels?

Baroque was originally released for Sega Saturn on May 21, 1998. This post-apocalyptic roguelike tasks players with reaching the bottom floor of the Neuro Tower to *checks notes* redeem themselves from sin and fix the world. Just like any other day, eh?

RIP to voice actress Rachael Lillis, perhaps best known for her roles as Misty and Team Rocket's Jessie in the original Pokémon dub. A deeply underrated piece of the international franchise, Lillis found depth and sympathy amid the fantastic and the boisterous.
