Hello, Boooooooys.
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective for the Nintendo DS is definitely one of the better fivers I've spent. I was just expecting some fun puzzling; what I got was some really fun puzzling, endearing characters, great animation and a story that I'm actually quite engaged by. I have exclaimed 'WHAT IS GOING ON' multiple times at plot developments.
Ghost Trick has also introduced me to the campest character in the history of videogames and indeed of fiction in general and indeed of the universe. He is so camp that I cannot come up with a simile to adequately convey how camp he is. You might describe him as 'camp as a row of tents', but you would be wrong. John Barrowman is as camp as a row of tents. Rows of tents wiiiiish they were as camp as Inspector Cabanela, baby.
I really don't want to finish this game! The structure of the game dictates that it has to take place over one night, ending at dawn, and I'm already at four in the morning game-time, so there probably can't be much more of it. PLEASE LAST FOR EVER, GHOST TRICK, I'M HAVING SO MUCH FUN.
I don't know whether any of you have actually played Ghost Trick, but I encourage you to give it a go if you happen to own a DS!
Almost finished Revenant Wings! I think I need to raise my levels a bit before I can take down the final boss, though.
Before the final battle, Vaan starts going around and giving everyone individual pep talks. As he approaches Balthier, Balthier turns his back.
Vaan: Balthier, uh... thanks.
Fran: What's all this?
Balthier: I try not to ask questions I won't like the answer to.
I just love that Balthier and Fran completely refuse to engage in the 'BIG INSPIRATIONAL SPEECH BEFORE THE FINAL BOSS' Final Fantasy tradition. You guys are my favourites.
As I appear to be in rather a DS-gaming mood at the moment: has anyone played The World Ends With You? What did you think of it? I've been wondering whether I should pick it up, but it seems so pricey. And are there any other DS games you'd recommend?
