It's a Wonderful Life

When I first bought the Nintendo DS, I never thought it will be a platform filled with JRPGs. Unlike the PS2 era, where JRPG was abundant on the console, JRPG genre seems to be a sleeper and largely ignored by the console players as WRPG (like Mass Effect and Elder Scroll) and shooters (like Call of Duty and Battlefield) took the spotlight. This article serves to give mention to those sleeper JRPGs, and for now I will concentrate on the DS only. Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings (Think & Feel, Square Enix, 2007) Sequel to the Final Fantasy XII, and rather than calling it an RPG, it gameplay is more RTS-like. The system simple enough for everyone to enjoy, though the game itself may be hard at some point. Nevertheless, there is no reason not to play this game. Vaan took the spotlight in this game, lucky him! Final Fantasy IV (Matrix Software, Square Enix, 2008) This game has been re-released so many times, and there's a reason for it. It might be considered as one of th...

Just got my copy of Final Fantasy XIII-2 from Gamestop! I also bought the Strategy Guide (Collector's Edition) with it, since I got my refund from the price drop of Resident Evil Revelations (It's $40 now). They have discounts if you buy a guide with the respective game and another discount if you have the Pro Membership card. I'm a happy person right now...How long has it been since the last time I played a good JRPG? That's why this game makes me really excited. I just started playing it, and there are a few things that caught my attentions: 1. They provide a Beginner's Primer, a summary for what happened during Final Fantasy XIII (divided by chapters). It's a nice addition for people who never played the original, and also for myself since the story doesn't really make any sense back when I played it. 2. This might be the first time a Final Fantasy game has a difficulty setting (I might be wrong though), although only Easy and Normal modes are ava...

Original post  here I have seen a lot of people playing like this (boys and girls), but I think it's especially fun seeing the girls doing it. I mean, they look cute when they do that haha. I did this a lot too during my first few years playing games, especially when playing racing games. Truth be told, I still have this habit, but in a kind of different form: I throw the controller to the floor when I get mad. On a side note, I have been using my PS3 controllers for more than two years now, and still work perfectly fine. Either the quality of the controllers are very high or I am just too awesome. Anyway, I think girls who play games that boys play are really awesome. I don't really have the scientific explanations for this, but I think it's because: 1) It's rare to see girls play games besides Angry Bird (or some other games in their iPhone) and Facebook games (I'm looking at you, The Sims Social). 2) The appreciation when girls have the same interest as us...

I was just looking around Nintendo's eShop when I found out that Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor Overclocked for 3DS will finally be released on next Tuesday (in US). Overclocked is an enhanced version of 2009 RPG of the same name (without the Overclocked) For Nintendo DS. I played the original version, but didn't finish it because apparently it was too hard. I was a few more bosses before the last boss, but I got stuck at this one boss, named Beelzebub ( stupid giant fly ). I failed after I had more than 5 attempts to defeat it. I downloaded the pirated version of the game, so I didn't feel so bad about not finishing it. This time, I will finish it, and I know it will drain more hours of my life. From my experience hunting for new games in Malaysia, it probably will be available by next Friday. Hopefully I can get my hands on it before going back beraya . Next week's activity: hunting for this game Talking about 3DS, I just had this moment where I was consi...

Last Saturday, I had an unexpected visitor; at least I never expected him to come :P Nik, a friend of mine from INTEC, came to my house for one and only one reason: To try the guitar controller for guitar hero at his laptop Nik playing Guitar Hero at my house Unfortunately, the guitar controller (gc) couldn't be used for the laptop..maybe some connection problems But fortunately for him, since I don't play Guitar Hero on my PS2 so often at home, I let him borrow my PS2 with the gc with him~ Ain't I'm nice? :p Well, his house is only at Subang Jaya, so I can take it back anytime I want~~ Why we shouldn't be generous to our friends? :) Actually I'm happy since there is someone who has the hobby as mine :D This might not known to many, but I brought a TV and PS2 set to my room in Cendana :p Two weeks before summer semester ended, Nik always come to my room to play Guitar Hero There are lot of my friends who came to play too:) Summer semester is real...

This is my first new obsession Title : DJ Max Portable 2 Genre : Rhythm Learning Difficulty : Normal My Grade : 9.4/10 No,not the girl in the image. It's the game DJ Max Portable 2. I just got the game yesterday, and it is really addictive. Somehow I am really attracted to rhythm games (guitar hero,rock band,dance dance revolution) I thought that any other rhythm games that doesn't use specific controller or tools are total lame (guitar,dance mat) But this game really change my mind set!! This game is one the best game I ever had in my PSP and it makes my PSP more worthy (compared to my DS, of course) About The Gameplay: It just a series of notes, coming from top to the bottom, and you need to hit the right button at the right moment...sounds lame right? BUT IT IS NOT ! It takes more than that to play this game... and it is not as easy as you think ...Just watch the videos down there, you'll know what I mean Here is some video Promotional Video Ga...
