Video games come in many different varieties. There are titles that you pick up every now and then and play to kill some time, there are games that you play through over a collection of evenings or a weekend and then set on the shelf almost forever and then there are games like Crisis Core. A game that is pick-up-and-play, gaming-on-the-go friendly yet with top-notch production values and an epic storyline that's ready when you are.

Rarely do I burn 36 hours in a game, finish it and feel like I had just scratched the surface. In fact, I had just scratched the surface, with the game ticker showing just over 50% completed. The last area of the game was so engaging I couldn't just keep myself from diving head-first into the final confrontation. Minutes later, after the credits and storyline rolled out, I saved my game and restarted on Hard difficulty at level 56 (99 is the max) without a thought.

I'm just going to dive right into my only problem with Crisis Core and get it out of the way.
