Oh boy, am I glad this coming weekend is a long one for me.

In this case, the "C" in "CRPG" would stand for Colombian.

It's hard to say what THE GAME of the week is, but I'm going to give the honor to Cris Tales, the long-awaited indie RPG that leans heavily on the eastern tradition but is actually by way of a Colombian developer.
