Zanarkand-A city dead for 1000 years.A city I had to see with my own eyes.The end of Yunas journey.The last chapter in my story.

Yeah Tekken 6 on Xbox 360 is yesterdays news,but I think cool.It's funny how many diehard PS3 owners now say they were never going to get Tekken 6 or they don't like the Tekken series that much,but before they were bragging how it was a PS3 exclusive and how the Tekken series is the best 3D fighting game series ever.

Anyways to be honest I myself am getting a bit bored of the Tekken games,I still like them,but the last 3 Tekken games have been so similiar.At least Dead or Alive change things up abit everytime,and DOA definately has the hotter women I'm looking more forward to DOA5,SFIV,and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom(you will need a Wii to play Tatsunoko vs. Capcom unless you play the arcade version) I actually love fighting games,but this generation I haven't had much to be excited about since VF5,despite how great it was.

Fable 2 is right around the corner,so is Fallout 3.I liked the original Fable but it was too short and linear(you had freedom to explore but the areas between towns were a straight path!) I hope they fix up the problems it had,and keep the good gameplay elements,such as the Zelda s t y l e gameplay and freedom in how you want to interact with NPCs and buying a house and being able to customize hair s t y l e and facial hair at anytime and stuff like that.Fallout 3 is interesting to me because I like a post apocalyptic setting and it's a nice change from constant sci fi or medieval settings.I loved the first 2 Fallout games on PC,the 3rd one(called the Brotherhood of Steel)was a bit bland,I don't know what to think of Fallout 3 though because it will be a first person game,you can play it in 3rd person view but still it will play like a first person game.I guess it gives you more a feel for the environment but I hate playing games in first person s t y l e I always get dizzy when I play games like that

I still want to get a PS3 because I loved MGS4 when I played it at my friends house and I'll rather play FFXIII on the PS3 because the Xbox360 version will require so many discs(I had problems with the 3rd disc of Lost Odyssey),luckily it was a short disc and I got through it,but I couldn't ask the store for a replacement because by the time I got up to the 3rd disc the 7 day refund/exchange policy had passed)So I learned it really is worth going to the trouble of getting a game on as few discs as possible.

The main titles I'm waiting for are FF13 and Star Ocean 4 because for me,nothing beats a good JRPG.

Anyways,that's all for now,laters.

Kirby's adventure.The first Kirby game,released late in the NES lifespan.It was a lot more fun than many 16-Bit games.Kirby brought the colorful,Super Mario s t y l e world,except Kirby defeated enemies by sucking them up and he could absorb their abilities such as using a sword or fire etc.Kirby could also float across the screen for endless periods of time making the game pretty easy but still fun nonetheless.

Kirby Squeak Squad.To be honest this is the only other Kirby game I have played but I loved it.Just like the original Kirby,except with lots more abilities you can absorb,and even more colorful levels.I love the level with the colorful stars and you hear relaxing music.The story is so funny too,Kirby is after the villain in the game because he stole Kirby's slice of strawberry cake and Kirby wants it back!

Donkey Kong Country.Amazing graphics for a 16-Bit game.Donkey Kong had realistic,flowing body movements and the environments had a nice 3D effect.Besides being another platformer with amazing graphics,Donkey Kong had a sidekick named Diddy Kong and you could swap whoever you were using to use their advantages for certain segments.You could ride animals and stampede enemies with a Rhino,or use a swordfish to stab sharks and fish as you maneuvered through water,or you could just swim.There was rope and vine swinging and lots of fun mini games too.

Super Mario RPG Legend of the 7 Stars.Yes another Nintendo game,and one of the few games to be released late in the SNES lifespan.Square helped make this game,and it plays like any turn based JRPG in the colorful Super Mario s t y l e world.The game has great presentation,music and looks too good to be a SNES game.

Sonic & Knuckles.The first backwards compatible game and also a great game on it's own.You could play as either Knuckles or Sonic and try to save the game from robotnic once again.The game was fast and playable like any Sonic game,and the level designs were great,and challenging.Knuckles was a very unique character being able to climb walls and smash through weaker walls and even glide.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3.Challenging and more non-linear levels while keeping the traditional Sonic feel and adding a save feature.The graphics were very colorful with some nice water effects and entertaining cut scenes.You had to move fast through the levels because your biggest enemy will be the clock and the routes through some levels are not clear cut to make things interesting.The final 3 bosses were so tough,dealing with them and the time limit.

I love the art for Sonic 3

Sonic CD.Yes another Sonic game.The most colorful 2D Sonic game.Not very much challenge,but great presentation and entertaining cut scenes.Also has some FMV.You can travel forwards and backwards in times and see the levels in their natural or pulluted/industrialized form.Entertaining boss battles against the robot Sonic where you have to win a race against it in space while dodging it's attacks.And a pinball s t y l e boss battle to suit the carnival atmosphere.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like ZanarkandTidus.
ZanarkandTidus must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could ZanarkandTidus possibly have for not rating a single film?
