I’m sure many of you have realized how much I love the Tales of series. Tales of the Abyss is the one I hold dearest to me. Sure, Tales of Symphonia was my first game in the series but the characters were one dimensional and the gameplay hasn’t aged too well. And although the Tales…

Tales of Xillia 2: Spicy Chicken Rolls
Tales of Xillia 2 was a well done sequel (don’t get me started about how bad Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World was). I liked seeing what all the characters were up to and how they still had room to grow. I really enjoyed learning more in particular about Muzet and King Gaius….
Tales of Hearts R: Hot Chocolate
A sudden spike of despir sickness is affecting the world of Organica. Full cities are becoming consumed with one emotion. A city completely enveloped in sorrow stops being productive because they don’t believe in themselves. Another city ravaged with distrust causes dysfunction because people can’t work together. The populations’ spirias, cores that control individual’s emotions,…
Tales of Xillia 2: Meat Pasta
This past month, my husband and I have been slowly making our way through Tales of Xillia 2. We have both been enjoying it and wish we could spend more time playing it. One of the aspects of the game I have fallen in love with is the ‘Kitty Dispatch.’ It is exciting to see…
Tales of Xillia: Croquette Sandwich
Tales of Xillia 2 comes out tomorrow and I am super excited and sad at the same time. This is the first Tales of game in a while that I won’t be able to play with my friend Harry. He has moved far enough away that it would require a plane ride to get to…

We take a look back at what might be my favorite Tales game: Tales of Vesperia (very closely followed by Tales of the Abyss but the two change ranks every other week). In the past few Tales…
Tales of Graces f: Oyakodon
Oh man! We are a week away from the release of Tales of Symphonia Chronicles, excitement levels are rising. Let’s continue the countdown to the release with another ‘Tales of’ recipe this week. Food plays a pretty major role in both the story and mechanics of Tales of Graces f. Each of the characters in…
Tales of Xillia: Chocolate Parfait
The spirits are vanishing. Why are the spirits vanishing? War has been threatening the lands for the last few years. Could one of the nations have found a technology that consumes spirits? Why would they resort to such technology? Do they not realize they are slowly destroying the land we live in? Recent rumors have…
Tales of Vesperia: Lemon Gels
Halloween is coming up this week and I knew I wanted to recreate a candy from a game. After pondering about it for a bit, I knew I had to try and recreate the gels in the ‘Tales of’ series. These little gels are always the health and mana refill items that the characters use….
Tales of Graces F: Beef Stew
YAY, Tales of Xillia comes out tomorrow! So begins the weekends of long drives and hours of Tales of Xillia. We continue celebrating the release with a recipe from Tales of Graces f. For me this game has one of the best combat systems in the ‘Tales of’ series but the story was a little…
