Super Robot Wars J

Super Robot Wars series is another line I follow faithfully since Sega Saturn days. Take a bunch of mechas from famous giant robot series, throw in "save the galaxy" plotline, update them with mechas from the latest animes, such as Full Metal Panic Fumoffu, shaken, not stirred. Out comes an excellent SRPG. Bandai/Banpresto doesn't disappoint in this latest release. Right at the start, I have Chidori from Full Metal Panic yelling at me about how I better not destroy the school ground. I'm also very happy the latest release is for GBA. It's a good choice really, it's both the cheapest platform to develop on, and also I bet has best match to their fanbase. The three games I played for this are Devil May Cry 2 (PS2) still sucks this time around Chaos Legion (PS2) Bujingai: The Forsaken City (PS2) Gackt as the main hero rocked! a very underrated game

Civilization 3

I got Civilization 3 for OSX. I have Civilization 3 as well as both of the expansion packs for Windows already. But Civ is one of those games I just got to have it everywhere. The three games I played for this are Dynasty Warriors 4 Empire (PS2) Samurai Warriors (PS2) Samurai Warriors Extreme Legends (PS2)

Dungeon Siege 2

Got Dungeon Siege 2. I was very disappointed with how badly the multiplayer part of the game handled the story. In essense, only one player will ever get to read and hear about the story. So the only way for two people to really enjoy the multiplayer game is to either not care about the story or to have played through the single player once already, thus you already know the story. The three games I played for this are City of Heroes (PC) Sacred (PC) Champions of Norrath (PS2)

Nintendog

Got Nintendog, got sucked in, now I'm stuck walking the dog every day, I feel like this is Tamagotchi all over again. Three games that I played for this are Guild Wars (PC) Fallout Brotherhood of Steel (Xbox) World of Warcraft (PC)

A Video Game Experiment

Starting in September Y and I decided to try an experiment. Y and I have always talked about how they don't make certain games like they used to anymore. I was wondering if we were just jaded since we played so many games over the years, plus working on them and such. So I proposed an experiment. For every new game we get, we have to play three old games. This way, we'll know if we were just being nostalgic or the old games really ARE better. This is one of the reasons that lead to this blog.

The sad news is offical

It's the end of an era. The Windows Mobile 5.0 powered Palm has just been offically announced.
