Lunar: Dragon Song now $9.99, still terrible

One of the first RPGs on the DS -- and, arguably, worst -- Lunar: Dragon Song was both a sales disaster and an affront to the Lunar series. With that in mind, we're sure you're thrilled to hear that Amazon is selling the terribly-translated game (blame Ubisoft) for $9.99, a quarter of the ridiculous $39.99 price Lunar: Dragon Song originally debuted with in 2005!

Sure, it's a terrible game, but just think -- for only ten bucks, it could be your terrible game. Or, even better, it could be your friend's terrible game! That's right, you can grab this for a buddy you're not particularly fond of, but are obligated to buy a cheap Christmas present for anyway (Maybe that "pal" who slept with your girlfriend a few years back?). When he calls to ask why you gave him such a loathsome gift, you can be like, "Hey, how was I supposed to know it was garbage? I thought you liked RPGs? By the way, if I ever catch you leering at my girlfriend again, I am going to beat you like a rented mule. Merry Christmas, sucka."

I sort of feel sorry for Pal. ='[

(Yes, I gave the name Pal to the hypothetical pal. x_0)

I'm with JPN. Not the greatest game ever, by any means, but I still liked it.

I've always loved the Lunar series, ever since the Working Designs localizations on the Sega CD. I haven't picked up this one though, and from the sound of it, maybe it's best afterall to not bother.

It resembles real Lunar games in name only.
