So I’ve been putting my money to good use and have been watching Bones’ new show “Xam’d: Lost Memories” on the PS3.

I know, I’m probably beating a freshly killed horse here, but heres my view.

This event gets him involved with a red-haired foreign girl named Nakiami, and the events are set in motion. I discuss my impressions, which really aren’t all that important, after the jump.
