Video Game Updates!

*NOTE* This may contain MINORspoilers!

I haven't been blessed with the time to continue breaking down the brick wall that is my 28 game backlog, what with being on vacation the past 10 days and seeing just about every movie there is to see in the theatres. SO, the game only game I've made any progress on is Rogue Galaxy!

Last night I finished Chapter 7 in the story of RG at hour 19,and I must say, it's getting quite interesting! Now that Daytron has the tablet and it's WAY over-powered guardian, SEED, it's looking pretty grim for Jaster and Captain Dorgengoa .

Rogue Galaxy might be one of the easiest RPGs I have ever put any time into. In just about every battle with "beasts" I cast Desert Wind Lv.2. That particular skill is so incredibly overpowered... I love it! . Seriously, this game being fairly easy to play through is a nice surprise. There's nothing for frustrating to me than an overly difficult RPG. I, unfortunately, end up looking like this kid when I play them. Actually the only tough parts of the game thus far have been the last two chapter's bosses, Gale and SEED. Gale is difficult because it's a "personal" fight between him and Deego so it becomes a 1 on 1 duel rather than the usual 3 on 1. SEED is on a whole new level of difficulty! In fact, he's so hard that all you have to do to defeat him (sort of) is defend against his incredibly powerful spells and combos. It took me a few tries before I realized that I was supposed to give my party the "hang-back" command which, obviously, has them stand back and defend rather than charge in and attack. Luckily though, after about a minute of desperately trying to survive against this beast of a boss, the "real" Desert Claw enters the fight out of nowhere, helps Jaster and Co. escape, and then disappears just as quickly as he appeared. Mysterious man, I say.

The only other game I've really been playing other than Rogue Galaxy has been Rock Band 2. It's alot of fun. What else is there to say?

Video Game CollectionUpdates!

So my collection number has risen to about 312! Since my last blog I havebought the following games:

Tales Of Vesperia (360) - - Great game with AMAZING combat. I rented it a few months back, but unfortunately never got the chance to beat it. This is the first game I plan on playing when I am done with Rogue Galaxy.

Sonic's Ultimate Sega Genesis Collection (360)- - Mainly bought this game to play through Phantasy Star I - IV again. Maybe get some Shining Force as well. Here's a list of the games included in this. Anything you think I should play? Let me know!

RockStar's Table Tennis (360) - - Paid $2 for this game. Got about 7 hours of fun out of it too! Worth the price of admission if you ask me!

Unopened copies of Max Payne 1 and 2 on the PC - and - I already own and have played through these games before. But they were unopened and at $4 each? I couldn't refuse

Plants Vs. Zombies - - This game was only $10 on Steam. Great fun, especially for anybody who enjoys tower defence ****games.

Cryostasis - - Haven't gotten around to playing this one yet.

Wizardry - - It was $1. I don't plan on playing it, but I couldn't resist buying it at that price.

Gurumin - - Another game that I don't plan on ever playing. It was $8 unopended and it's going straight to the storage place where I keep all my games

That's pretty much it for now. I'll write a blog like this either tonight or tommorow, but it'll be more directed towards things like movies and details on my recent trip to NYC.

Until then, so long!
