Shadow Tower Abyss
This was sitting on the Requests shelf as of late 2008. There is one outstanding issue: the lack of a 'Reception' section. The reasons why such a section is problematic are as follows:
 * it saw a limited release,
 * it is only available outside of Japan as an import,
 * there is no complete English translation,
 * I can't speak a word of Japanese and am unable to locate anything resembling a reliable review or an aggregate score,
 * no English sites, such as GameSpot and IGN, provide information beyond what would be classed as a preview or announcement,

Additional points:
 * The name "Shadou Tawā Abisu" needs checking - I think it's correct, however.
 * There is some information concerning the controller system, and the way in which the player can slash and stab using the analog stick on the DualShock 2. It's relevant to the section on dismemberment and combat, but I could do with a better source.

 * The thing is, not even a google search brings up any reviews from prominent video game sites to show reception. There may be reviews by Japanese video games sites but it will need to be translated. You're pratically out of luck for reception. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 02:46, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I've come across concept art, movies, and the like at RPGamer. Unfortunately, there's no substantial information besides. I'm a little gutted that the article will be stuck at C, without hope for improvement. Mephistophelian † 03:35, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Section "Legacy" has some stuff that could be considered reception, so you could change it to "Reception and legacy" while looking for further reception-type stuff. Tezero (talk) 17:24, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * GameSpy has some reception info. Dengeki labeled it the #14 top game at the end of Oct 03. I also had sold 12,908 units by then. (Guyinblack25 talk 21:04, 1 May 2010 (UTC))
