famitsu1.jpgEver wondered whats the big deal with Famitsu? The Japanese gaming magazine is without a doubt the most influential of them all but many dont know why. Famitsu even gets to give good scores to a great franchise’s crappy sequels and get away with it. Its become an industry moving publication that has catapulted unknown games into stardom.

Did you know Resident Evil wasn’t selling much until Famitsu gave it a near perfect score? If you want to know more about the history of Famitsu and have a look at its first issue, head off to Kevin Gifford’s Game Set Watch column, its spiffy!
