I finally got through La Pucelle Tactics! Pretty good game, but if you don't like anime or tactical RPGs avoid it like the plague because it oozes both.
So I think last time I said something about how I got Lost Planet for $60? Yeah, well, just saw it last week for $40! Man, thats $20! At Best Buy you can get 2 DVDs for that... You could get an anime DVD! *Sigh* Oh well. Lost Planet was fun at least, though now I think I have to play Xenosaga 2 since I bought it like... A year ago and that only I've done with it is popped it in to make sure it works.
Oh, but if you're interested in La Pucelle I wrote a half-interested review of it. I hear if you liked Disgaea you'll be interested.
So, strange topic aside, I haven't done this in a while since I was so busy making sure I graduate from college, which I think I did, though they haven't given me a diploma yet so I'm not sure.
Anyway, my gaming library has expanded to include games like Shadow of the Colossus, WTF, Puzzle Quest, Gunpey (On PSP), and Lost Planet.
I must say, WTF is a reason I'm happy I have a PSP, its so innane and random in the tasks it asks you to perform, and I found it for $15! If I knew it was this fun I would have happily paid like.... $20. Sorting Chicks, Capping Pens, Destroying coffee cups and robots with your fist, or just pollinating flowers. Its very fun.
Shadow of the Colossus is a great game, if you don't have it, you should. Its only $20 on PS2 and don't give me some nonsense like "I don't have a PS2." because I know you do, or you should since most of the good games of last generation came out on it.
Puzzle Quest is a good buy on PSP or DS, though I think the stylus isbetter than moving a selector with a control even if the graphics aren't as nice. If you like Bejeweled then you should like Puzzle Quest, its like Bejeweled with a purpose.
Gunpey I just got and it is very strange. I was hoping that my mad Lumines skills might help me here, but no. Its so much different from ever other type of puzzle game I've played! Its interesting and frustrating at the same time.
Finally Lost Planet. Wait to find this one used or reduced price. I only got it nowbecause I had Best Buy gift cards to use on it, but its definitely not worth $60. $50 yes, but not $60. Its a very fun and good looking game, but some of the later levels aren't as fun as earlier ones, and really my major complaint is that the one time I've tried online VS so far I get booted out of almost every game because people don't want someone new to play. How am I supposed to get those achievement points if I can't play VS? Oh well, maybe I was playing too late at night and just no one was up except high level losers who just want to play with themselves.
Anway, I don't know what my next game will be. I've been buying a lot of anime lately since new volumes of "PaniPoni Dash!" and the all-new super excellent "Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" are coming out and there haven't been any games that I'm like "Oh, gotta get that!", at least not since Shadowrun turned out to be such a disappointment. Gosh, all multiplayer games suck, and so do games that do so little with awesome source material.They took about as much advantage of the source materialas the people who made "Magic the Gathering: Battlegounds". It was just very disappointing, fun admittedly, but disappointing.
I finally finished FFXII with 90 hours on the clock and charcters over lvl 50. I think now I'll go out and buy a strategy guide so I can save some time on the hunts.
Oh, I'll put up a review soon too.
