GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Tuesday, Nov 18, 2008

If you scrolled down a bit, you could see the games I'm currently playing. I spend a LOT of money this month. I'm very close to being broke, but fortunately, I'm getting paid today. I've been working a fair amount so I expect to be in the green again. And with no expenses, I can save up for...fun?

Anyway, with Animal Crossing, Tales of Symphonia, Zack and Wiki, Order of Ecclesia, The World Ends With You, and Final Fantasy IV, I'm going to be busy for a looooong time. 

So many games, so little time. I got the Animal Crossing Wii Speak bundle. Wii Speak is so small! It fits right into the palm of my hand. I thought it was going to be fairly bigger. But I guess the size is taken up by it's adaptor. I haven't used it yet. My friends haven't gotten the game yet and they might not for a while...or at all. 

Tales of Symphonia is fantastic. The dialogue is great, although the beginning of the game is fairly slow and there's a lot of talking and text to go through. Fortunately, every single cutscene is voice acted. I was a little disappointed that not all the original Symphonia voice actors are back, but the replacements are good enough. Zelo's voice sort of unnerved me. It's the only one I sort of don't like, even though it's not bad. The game has a great battle system though. Very fast, and the focus on aerial combos are great. You can tell the game had lesser production values than the original, but it's still well done.

I'd continue to rant on about every other game, but ToS was the one I wanted to talk about the most. Zack and Wiki is good, but I haven't played it much. Tales of Symphonia is keeping me addicted . So yeah, I'm a happy gamer. How's everyone else's gaming going?

I'm getting AC: CF but I dont think I'm going to get the Wii Speak. I dont really feel the need to talk to random 10 year olds when I game online.

Yeah, there are sooo many cool games comming out... I've just got Guitar Hero World Tour which is keeping me nice and busy. Working through a solo guitar career and playing in a band with two mates when we can all get together. Also doing solo Drum & Singing careers... but I am just enjoying the guitar so much at the moment...

Also looking forward to Shaun White Snowboarding, IGN gave it a fairly good review, Call of Duty World at War also looks good... hopefully it has online multiplayer (Medal of Honor Heros 2 had multiplayer taken out of it here in Australia so I didn't get it) and I am curious to see how Skate It comes out.

All in all, lots of games Trying to control myself and buy them as I am going to play them.

Hey man, glad to see you again! My gaming is ok-ish. I getting REALLY fed up with the constant level grinding I have to do in FFIV. Hopefully you like it more than I do (not that I dont like it). Zack and Wiki is just frustrating as hell. When it's fun, its FUN, but I found myself pissed off the majority of the time.

We need to Brawl again soon!

ToS and ACCF are on my must-buy list, but they gotta wait for my "next package" (the last one, Gears 2, Dead Space, Fable II and Fallout 3) let me with 0 on my wallet. I'll be ordering them late December, with Prince of Persia and The Last Remnant.

Is was planning on getting ToS2 but I'm pretty low of cash because I just bought a 360. I'll have to get it later.

I want to buy Christmas presents for people and games for myself... Maybe i'll be tricksy and buy games for people then borrow them later. Nah, that's lame lol.

I'll just buy budget tittles like Zack and Wiki & No More Heros.

@LR1: Hey, it's great to hear from you again. I haven't done much grinding in FFIV but fortunately, I still get by the bosses. I'm just that good . At the same time, I don't think I'm very far into the game really. *Possible spoilers: I'm at the cave where no metal equipment is allowed. @tancred: Yeah, it's very similar to Wild World. It feels like both the GC version and DS version combined, with better online and the City. It feels more like an expansion than a true sequel, but it's still quite fun. The City is great.

@IronBass: It's a great/terrible time to be a gamer. Lots of great games, too much money. @squal: Hope you get your grades up soon so we might be able to play soon.

I had to level grind on that boss too Maybe its just me or something. Good luck in that annoying cave

I loved Zach and Wiki. A very good game that every Wii gamer should own.
Posted Nov 19, 2008 9:12 pm PT
My gaming is going slow. I'm currently playing AC: CF right now.

Tales seems so good but the reviews differ your opinion so much. I don't know if I should get it since I have a constricted budget. In the next 2 months I am probably going to get like one game D:

@SMR-Venom: The reviews' main complaints are that it's too linear. While that is true, I find it gives better pacing to the game. If you enjoyed the first game, you'll love this one.
