ChronoCherry

I've played a lot of games this year and I mean a LOT of games. I only got my first PS3 this year and I've already caught up on all the games I consider to be major exclusives as well as every 360 game that's worth mentioning (and some others). I really don't have the money for these games so I've been using GameFly like crazy. I have a four game plan and I play through games rather quickly, actually they spend on average twice as long in the mail as they do being played. I had just noticed that I don't actually have any games left on my GameQ that are currently released -- then I heard the slight whimper of my DSi in a dusty corner being suffocated by a pair of PSP.

I set out to breathe back a little life into my DSi through some GameFly magic. I was trying to decide between: The Legendary Starfy, Rhythm Heaven, Professor Layton and Chrono Trigger. As you can guess, I picked Chrono Trigger and actually popped my Chrono Trigger cherry, since the game apparently was never released in the UK and managed to miss my radar entirely. I was a little bit leery about trying it out, as JRPGs can get a little too crazy and I usually don't have either the time nor the inclination to work out how to navigate their unintuitive menu structure (that knocked off Devil Survivor from my list quickly). But so far I'm loving Chrono Trigger. The interface is quick and simple, the battles are enjoyable and the story is just great! I feel like I have played the game before as it really sends me back to the time when I was playing games like Soleil (Crusader of Centy) and The Illusion of Gaia. But most importantly, my DSi is back in the game and out of the corner.

We all have to watch our wallets nowadays. My local Blockbuster is making some bucks on either rentals or cheap used games.

Your figurative language is mildly disturbing .

I plan on picking it up at some point, as I like the JRPG genre as a whole (FFVII is easily in my top five games of all time, though I don't like to talk about FFVIII...)

Hahaha that's great! I recently got Chrono Trigger as well, but I have to wait till I finish my current DS game. Btw, Starfy is absolutely adorable but easy, so I'm sure you'll be done with it in no time when you play. And Rhythm Heaven, definitely a must-play. Very amusing and addictive.

Wish there is a dedicated rental service in my country. I'd like to save some money and try out games legitimately. >.>

Definitely a good choice my friend! I loved how well they matched the remake to the original CT.

Also, Sorry I haven't been commenting your blog for a while, I forgot
