As I sit here playing through House of the Dead 2, I am reminded of how fucking terrible this game is of how much I miss being able to go to arcades ( Read more... )

As I'm nearing the 100% completion status of Donkey Kong Country Returns, I can't help but think back to that one six year old kid who was practically begging his parents to buy the exact same game for him. I was laughing then, and I'm laughing even harder now, because this game doesn't have any training wheels sonny. I hope that kid ended up ( Read more... )

Well I spent the last two days getting through Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors... and man that "True Ending" was confusing as hell. It made a little more sense than Ever17 did, but a lot of stuff still went over the head over someone as unintelligent as I. The worst part is that like two people on the entire planet has played this game, so it' ( Read more... )

Hahahahahahahahaha, Gamestop has stooped to a brand new low in my books. It's nearly impossible considering how low they are already, but trying to sell me an open game as if it was new doesn't really give me much of a choice. They could spout all the "we only open it for the display case" bullshit they want, but someone needs to tell Gamestop that ( Read more... )

I love you Aksys Games, I really do. However, I don't really thinking having your game unavailable at retailers three days after the ship day helps your credibility. I don't know if it's because you decided to ship the game on the same day as Assassins Creed of all things, or if it's just a niche thing, but it's really hard to support you when your ( Read more... )

Yeaaaaaaah the Redboxes near me have finally updated their inventory with video games to rent. The system behind Redbox was always interested me, but I'm that big of a movie guy, so I was just waiting for them to have video games available to rent. The selection is pretty shitty as of right now (maybe 5 games total), but hey I get to play Enslaved ( Read more... )

Yes I have completed Ys Seven. Most of the things I would like to comment on are the story, but I'll avoid that to avoid spoilers of course. I will just say that the battle system stayed awesome throughout, the bosses got more epic, I surprisingly got invested into the story about halfway through, and it had the most depressing ending ever ;_;.

So dudes, I kind of impulsively bought Ys Seven yesterday, as it kind of really makes me regret just getting into this franchise now. One of the reasons why I love the Tales series so much is because the battle system is really fun... but this game just blows every single Tales game out of the water. It's almost as if the entire game is on stuck of ( Read more... )

Simultaneously read the new GracesF scan on the Tales forums and from sistaofpeace1.

It's like Namco knew I had absolutely no interest in Tales of Graces, so they purposely put cameo costumes from Code Geass in ToGF just to make my inner nerd import the game. Even Miku Hatsune wasn't enough in the original Graces, but this is just too much Namco. ;_;

And to make ( Read more... )

So I had this sudden itch to play through Cave Story again, and I scratched the hell out of that itch by beating it twice in about six hours -- once on Curly Mode, and one more time on Easy Mode in order to get the best ending.I almost forgot how amazing this game is, and I recommend anyone who hasn't played it to give it a try whenever they can.
