Shin Megami Tensei series

I don't know if anyone has played any of the games from SMT, but it's a darned sweet series. I just picked up (and haven't been able to set down since) SMT: Nocturne. Apparently, SMT has had many other games on older consoles that were never brought over to the states. But with the most recent release of Digital Devil Saga, and Digital Devil Saga 2 coming out in August, this series looks like it's going to keep up...
Anyone played it?
It's very interesting... at least in Nocturne, you play a highschool boy who is in the right building at the right time when demons cause the entire world to end... That's right, the world ends within the first hour of the game ;D That's kinda different, eh? But to escape dying, a mysterious little boy drops a demon in to your face (apparently you eat it or something), and now you are part demon. So in the 'new world', which consists of demons running amock and wandering human souls, you can battle demons and get them to join you on your quest. Not only that, but you can fuse demons together and get entirely new and more powerful demons. It's very, very gritty and dark, but a total blast at the same time.
Too bad, though, because Nocturne is incredibly hard to find now (even though it was just released last summer), so if you can find it, I'd highly recommend picking it up.
