New Games Every Week! Leisure Suit Heaven Edition @_@

Games. They're always coming out. Whether we like them or care about them. They're always coming out.

-Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust - Xbox 360/PC
-Don King Boxing - Wii/DS
-Major Minor's Majestic March - Wii
-Braid - PC
-Bonsai Barber - Wii
-Rhythm Heaven - DS

Pick of the Week!
So if you're stuck with a DS I would say get Rhythm Heaven, but even though the game had previously come out on the XBLA I strongly suggest trying out Braid for the PC. An imaginative and beautiful puzzle adventure you'll never forget your experience of this innovative game.

Do I even watch anime? Dollhouse Edition ^_^

-I am ashamed to say that other than a few cartoons on Cartoon Network I haven't seen any anime this week. I have been catching up on the new Joss Whedon show, Dollhouse, but that's not a cartoon. I'll try watching some Fate/Stay Night this week and tell you how what I thought of it.

-On another note did any of you own Mario Party for the N64? If you did then this should bring back some memories. Unless of course...you never tried to beat mini-game island...scrub nub.

What games do I game? Final Okami 6 Edition T_T

-Recently beating Resident Evil 5 reminded me of how good it feels when you complete a game's story mode. I am now vigorously attempting to beat Okami (I recently got the japanese only soundtrack). It took a while to get a grasp on what was going on in the game (last time I really put some hours into it was last April), but I finally got the story to take off again and It's such a good experience. I can see now why so many critics have been raving about it.

-I also had Final Fantasy 6 for the GBA for a few weeks now and I find it a lot more entertaining then Pokemon Platinum. Maybe this is because the only game I've ever played similar to FF6 is Chrono Trigger, which I have also yet to beat, and I've played so many Pokemon games the formula is getting to me. I also really like the main protagonist of the game. People make such a fuss about FF13 having a girl. They should play Dissidia!

-A game I wish I could play is Suikoden 2 for the Playstation. I always hear good things about this game and hope that one day it may be ported or put into a classics collection.



BTW: Sorry for posting late. I had some trouble the other days.

Professor Layton 2 coming out in US after all!

If you've been one of those folks anxiously waiting for all those Professor Layton games to come out on their DS then you might be happy about this bit of news. Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box is subject to come out in America within the next 6 months. Not only that, but the director of the game wishes to localize all six games!

(Sorry this isn't anime, but I am very sick today. Tomorrow will hopefully go back to the normal schedule.)

Game Developer's Conference 09 BTW...HUGE ANNOUNCEMENTS

People...I'm a regular guy just writing as a hobby at the moment. I work during the weekend and I'm trying to write a manga at the moment. I can only do so much! So let me apologize for not giving nearly as much coverage for this week's Game Developer's Conference and also apologize beforehand for E3 later this year. There is just too much stuff...oh well. I'll just cover the big boys.

Nintendo:
-New Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for the DS. You can cry now. BTW there's a train.
-Nintendo plannins to make DSi hybrid and DSi only cards. If you've been holding out on a DSi, but still are waiting for that game...well...unavoidable purchase?
-Did you ever want to play the old Final Fantasy games on virtual console? Perhaps two new games on the WiiWare channel? Well I only hope you have enough time to beat them all!

Microsoft:
-Don't know what to buy during the next three months? They'll be no summer drought this year!
-Resident Evil 6...LOL. (PS3 Also)
-King of Fighter 12 Tournament in LA. Justin if you're reading this I feel bad for you on this one!
-Don't Stop Believing! If you know the song then you'll be pleased to know this. Hold onto that feeling yeah!
-Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 announced for 11/10/09. Can they outdo the first Modern Warefare?

Sony:
-PS Home featuring 3 new spaces every month. Have a social time!
-Hideo Kojima will announce his new game at E3. Let's hope it isn't Zone of the Enders Touch.
-Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Announced! Online co-op introduced (omfg!), new boss characters, and new playable characters Ayane and Momiji = undoubted re-purchase of the game.
-Don't have an Xbox or Wii? Pshaw! Have fun this spring with your Sony branded platforms!
-I loved Valkyria Chronicles, it was a cleverly made tactical game. Now there's an anime based on it!
-Stop it Katamari Damacy! Stop making cah-ray-zay games!

PC:
-Hello Kitty MMORPG. Read it again. Now click.
-Guitar Hero World Tour will be on PC this June. Please make some good mods guys!

Forget those platforms! This thing is industry changing:
-OnLive...changing the future of gaming? (Please click both.)
-Pachter...this effin analyst always seems to be right and I wouldn't put this prediction past him.

Okay then people I am tired and can't wait to play my new Pokemon Platinum. I hope the unappreciative no comment readers can find it in their hearts to be like "wow, he wrote a lot...I should probabaly tell him that."

New Games Every Week! WWE Platinum Edition @_@

This week we got:
-Pokemon Platinum
-WWE Legends of Wrestlemania - PS3/Xbox 360
-Wanted - PC/PS3/Xbox 360
-The Last Remnant - PC*
-Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 (Ultimate Edition) - PS3*
-Wallace & Grommit's Grand Adventures, Episode 1: Fright of the Bumblebees - PC/Xbox 360
-Guitar Hero: Metallica - Wii/PS3/Xbox 360

Pick of the Week?
Hmm I don't like giving pick of the week to games that have already been released on other systems so I think Pokemon Platinum gets my vote as the game you should definitely try out! Let's be serious though, who hasn't played a version of Pokemon?


*These games have previously been released on other platforms.

Do I Even Watch Anime? Lucky no Shana Edition ^_^

I took advantage of some great deals at Best Buy and bought some dvds!

-I'm rewatching Lucky Star now that I got the DVDs and I had almost forgotten what a great show it was! If you're an otaku you must watch this show as it cleverly (unlike them) inputs 20-30 anime references throughout each episode. The references are included so seeminglessly that you may not even pick up on all of them, but the DVD book highlights them all out for you! Besides that the show is charming and very pleasing to watch! I have to give the show creator some credit for not feeling the need to include a loser male character pretend he's the main protagonist and having him wander about with the girls. Check out the show yourself!

-I've also been watching Shakugan no Shana. It's hard to explain this one. I can't explain any of the plot without spoiling it so I'll explain the genre. It's an action anime, but it doesn't focus so much on the choreography of the fighting so much since it started out as a light novel. There is some comedy in it as well and as who the target audience is, I'm not completely sure. The main male character is just another mundane loser with a undeserved power while the female character remains predictable throughout the first couple of episodes. While the focus appears to be more on her she isn't voluptously shaped, but is rather cute and young looking. Regardless of this I find the plot and obstacles that they face to be pretty original and I'm such a fan of genre I just explained (LOL) that I find myself watching each episode back to back. I make it seem like the show is horrible, but despite it's flaws I urge you to watch the first three episodes! If you still don't like them you can blame me! T_T

Edit: I just finished watching Shakugan no Shana and I strongly recommend this show to any guys out there who want a good anime to watch. Not too sure if girls would appreciate it the same way though. -_-
