Thomas McDermott: This is not the first time I've unknowingly dove headfirst into a series lacking knowledge of what lay ahead. I could probably say that about every game I play nowadays, as I've grown to love trying to go into games blind.

DTOID: I've dabbled in Godzilla games since the NES game Godzilla: Monster of Monsters, a game that for some reason took place in space; Mothra and Godzilla fought monsters and literally kicked rocks in this fondly remembered title. None of the Godzilla games have really given me that "giant lumbering king of the monsters" feel I've been looking for; that is until I played the latest title from Bandai Namco Entertainment.
