A PSN Trophy Collectors Dream: Last Rebellion – Review
Posted on December 20, 2010 | No CommentsLast Rebellion, the collaboration between Hit Maker and Nippon Ichi Software has been under quite a lot of heat since it has been released, mostly in forms of bad reviews regarding well…. everything, and even word that they apologized for releasing such a game (From NISA I believe), however knowing me and my interest in Nippon Ichi games, I just ignored all the reviews and jumped in… I mean, I cannot be that bad right? Well unfortunately it might have been prudent to follow the... -
MMORPG Watch: Part 1 – Divina Online
Posted on December 19, 2010 | 1 CommentThis is something I randomly thought up of doing after online game surfing a few weeks ago. Essentially, I realize that in terms of online gaming, this blog has a dominant focus on Granado Espada and Dragonica, therefore, I thought it would expand this sites information on a wide variety of MMORPGS, and as well, introduce a number of other online games to you all, both english-based and japanese-based. The first online game I shall be critiquing is known as Divina Online, which is hosted... -
My Doorway into Anime: .hack//Infection – Review
Posted on December 11, 2010 | No CommentsI made a post a while back about why .hack is a very special game to me, for those who have not read it, I shall quote it here. I still consider the .hack franchise to be the series that got me into anime. I remember seeing this in my local video rental store, known as Video Ezy however I continued to pass over the series for various reasons (Boring cover, looked like some cheapo game). However, I was in another store a few months... -
Have a very Hank(y) Christmas: The Polar Express – Christmas Movie Review
Posted on December 11, 2010 | No CommentsIt is Christmas time and once again, I am forced to study amongst the busy shopping centers, the millions of Christmas decorations in the house and the general festivities I have to ignore for another week until I get my few weeks of well earn freedom. However, as one exam is down for now, I believe it would be best to review something that I have been meaning to for years (Since Christmas 2008), a non-Japanese Christmas movie however by far, one of two Christmas... -
Balls of the Worlds: Katamari Forever – Review
Posted on December 9, 2010 | No CommentsIt is once again final exam time for me, however I have this one odd ritual that I seem to do every exam block…. owing to the excuse I told my parents earlier this year to warrant me purchasing this title “It is a good game to relax to and that it is sort of like a puzzle game”, I have now made it a habit that I play this game at least twice during each exam block I have. So, I have just completed... -
Criminal Girls – Naughty or Nice?
Posted on November 30, 2010 | No CommentsNote: This is NOT a review, it is instead…. an article determining my opinions on if this has an actual chance at being released in English by NISA or another english game publisher. Was tossing up whether or not I should conduct this review, however in the end I let the temptation get the better of me, so here it is. First of all, before starting I would like to say whilst there is nothing in this article that is NSFW (Not Safe For Work),... -
Capitalism Ho! – Recettear: An Item Shops Tale Review
Posted on November 28, 2010 | No Comments(X) manager games have plagued our market shelves for decades, heck I remember getting addicted into games such as Theme Hospital, Sim City and Theme Park World when I was a kid, and they all had one main purpose…. to have a great enough income to keep whatever it was you were running open. However, this grew old, and therefore, the creative minds of Japanese game companies decided to implement what I call the Atelier system in, in which you collect items to either sell... -
Space Channel 5: Part 1 – Review
Posted on November 3, 2010 | No CommentsAs you may be aware, SEGA has recently announced that they will be re-releasing Part 2 of Space Channel 5 on the Playstation Network and Xbox Live services. Whilst there is no known cost or release date, it is definately something that I will be looking to get. However, for whatever reason they have decided to ditch the first one in the series for an unknown reason, therefore I have decided to write this quick review on the first game, one that is hard to... -
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles – Review
Posted on September 28, 2010 | No CommentsGamecube you might ask? I was digging around and have decided to go through my prior-gen games to find ones that would be interesting to play again, and then hopefully do a few “retro?” reviews every week to encourage people to either get out their old consoles and start playing, or to hunt down the long forgotten games that you may not have heard of and are now burried at the bottom of most game websites. My first choice was Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, a... -
Alan Wake: The Signal DLC – Review
Posted on September 22, 2010 | No CommentsAlan Wake: The Signal, is the first DLC title for the Alan Wake series. Personally, I do not like paid DLC content in games as I do believe that, if it can be made into DLC it SHOULD be available in the game. However, I will ignore that for this review since this content did come with my Collectors Edition. Since this is a DLC, it will be a relatively short review however since this was not covered in the main review, no harm in... -
Little Busters! – Review
Posted on September 15, 2010 | 1 CommentTo be honest, I do not really play visual novels, basically before playing Little Busters, the last time I played one was Umineko no Naku Koro ni #6 when the Witch Hunt English Translation came out. However, playing through a game like this was really refreshing and enjoyable at the same time, with the unique systems you dont often, if ever see in a game like this. Be warned, that whilst the version of the game I am reviewing IS NOT A HENTAI GAME, there...
