GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Friday, Oct 24, 2008

Hello!

I want to thank everyone again for comforting me when I needed help, I really appreciate it. Alot of stuff has happened since my last blog. I've lost alot of weight, my grades started to drop, and my mind has been in complete denial for weeks over this game called love.

Even so, I'm slowly getting over it and starting to feel better about myself (:

So today i've went shopping to the mall with my friends and realized that Dead Space and Silent Hill Homecoming is already out on the PS3! I think i'm ready to give video games another try cause games are fun to have around and they don't reject people. And if I ever get tired of them, I can just leave them and no one gets hurt xD. No im just kidding, i'm startin to get back into my gaming groove so i have a few games on mind.

Silent Hill homecoming,

Dead Space,

Rockband 2,

Little big Planet,

Persona 4.

I know some of you guys have at least played one of these games above or at least know about them. Which games would be your Top 2 and why? I'll be getting these games by next week so please offer a helping hand (:

ps. poison pink, ar tonelico 2, and eternal sonata are not on my wanted list cause I don't think they are worth it. I heard Valkyria Chronicles is released on the PSN in the US so i'll be downloading that soon :]

Hmmm...Silent Hill homecoming or Persona 4 i like both of theses games a hard choice go with Persona 4 and glad to hear you are feeling a bit better
Posted Oct 24, 2008 9:15 pm PT
Persona 4 or SH: Homecoming

Persona 4 is all you need. I'd give LBP a shot, there is alot of customization from the vids and articles I've been reading and you could probably have alot of fun with that, but only if you like a platform type of game. I probably would suggest that you go with Silent Hill, seeing as you are interested in horror genre. First I'd check the reviews to see if you'd consider getting it.

Aww Eternal Sonata not worth it to you now? xD

Rock Band 2 of course. I'm a nut for rhythm games, and this time you get to make a band online! Not like the first game. Tsk.
As for a second choice, hmm well I guess if you enjoyed Persona 3 then an obvious purchase to make next is P4 no? I'm not into the hype of LBP, and SH and Dead Space seemed like short games.

Anyway, glad to see you back up on your feet. Take care my darling riceball!

Posted Oct 25, 2008 1:13 am PT
Only get 2.
Little Big Planet and P4. Seriously lol.

Hi Nina-chan =D
Posted Oct 25, 2008 1:16 am PT
glad to hear you are recovering

about games; i think SH is failure for many people but still some people like it. for myself, i'm thinking it as waste of money for now.

about Dead Space, it seems everyone likes it, its said that its very atmospheric, so i'm planning to try it on PC ( its a shooter ).

Rockband 2, well its not my kind of game.

Little Big Planet, i'll definitely get that because i like new things and it seems LBP dont have any limitations in that. after seeing some videos, i cant think that game as bad, somebody made even FFX "To Zanarkand" music's piano version... only limitation in that game can be your imagination...

Persona 4; well, i liked Persona 3 Fes and it seems Persona 4 added more interactive world this time, so i look forward to play it.


about PS, i think Eternal Sonata is beautiful game so i think its worthy for just its beauty, but i would choose VC on ES

hope you'll fun with your choices

Silent Hill:HC and Dead Space for the horror of it all. Um while SH:HC is a decent game its not the game that will re-invent the franchise for Konami that is the fighting and action was decent but I felt the game borrowed too much from the movie. Dead Space is good its like Aliens meets Event Horizon with a small pinch of StarShip Troopers pretty dynamic design and sound. Anyway glad your feeling better please use this vampire :[ to suck the blood of anyone you feel needs it. Happy Halloween too

I recommend Dead Space, its one of the best horror games to come out in a while. Silent Hill Homecomming aint a bad choice either, i'm a fan of the series myself but you'd be spending like $60 on a game you could finish over the weekend.
Posted Oct 25, 2008 8:06 am PT
I kind of disapeared again so I have no idea what happened... Glad you're feeling better though! I've never played any of those games
Posted Oct 25, 2008 9:16 am PT
you know once the huge holiday landslide of games was announced and we started to hear stuff about them, I decided on getting only 2 games, both are on your list. Dead Space and Persona 4 are the only games I'm getting this end of the year Dead Space is really good and I think you'll like it... although it very 'western' and nothing like japanese horror. glad you're doing better as well
Posted Oct 25, 2008 9:46 am PT
Dead Space is awesome you can take mine and grafkhuns word on this statement. So is LBP its really fun and dare I say this cute.
Posted Oct 25, 2008 9:54 am PT
Persona 4 or Little Big Planet those i recommend
Posted Oct 25, 2008 10:20 am PT
Hi... let's see what to suggest hmmm, Silent Hill Homecoming, Little Big Planet, and Persona 4 are my suggestions later.

You should also check out Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice.
Posted Oct 25, 2008 10:20 am PT
jaykho- I just received an email from NISA about Ar Tonelico 2. I have an uncontrollable urge to get it...maybe.

Naruto- I was thinking about getting both since I can get them both for really cheap (after trading in some games). Hmm....maybe

michelle- Im feelin the love for P4 and Homecoming! Yes maybe

Jay- yeh the customization in LBP is simply breathtaking. I wouldn't mind rocking my own track in my own crib and invite some friends over to play. SH and Persona 4 seems to be the most popular choices yet again..hehe maybe (:

nora- Yeh haha, Eternal Sonata is totally not worth it. I'll wait for it to dip into the bargain bin before picking it up Woooo! someone else who also loves rhythm games! I'm totally digging the Special bundle set thats running at $189. Seems expensive....but replay value is forever right? xD Um yeh SH and DS might be a bit short for 60 bucks a piece. LBP might not be worth the hype. On the other hand, Silent hill + dead space + Little big planet would cost as much as one copy of the rockband 2 bundle. Argh...just maybe. Thank You

vexxy~ Hi thar Vex! xD Err that sounds like an order LittleBigPlanet and Persona 4? mmm...maybe

LegendKnight~ thank you (: Silent Hill homecoming is a failure? Ouch. Dead Space does seem very atmospheric, I hope it doesn't feel like something from Cold Fear or The Thing. I do really want to play it bad, I hope it's nonlinear. LittlebigPlanet, your really hyping me up even more Persona 4 comes again as a favored choice for this holiday season. Yeh VC is looking much sweeter than ES...maybe

Jbot- For the horror in us all haha xD I saw that Gamestop was having Silent Hill homecoming on sale for 20 bucks (after trading in two ps3 games). Borrows too much from the movie?...tssk tssk. I was unimpressed with the little boy and the color pencils, will this game be able to scare me? maybe! The only complaint I have about Dead Space is the generic box-art When u said event horizon, I immediately thought of Exterminator and the Thing *shivers* xD Actually this game looks alot better than Silent Hill Homecoming IMO. But yeh, its another Maybe. HAHA! Thank you for the vampire! I'll try not to abuse it xD Happy Halloween to you too!

JoJo- yeh, it totally blows generic titles like Cold fear and The Thing. It's going to be my first horror experience on my next-gen since Condemned Bloodshot. Hmm...two horror games for this holiday season? That's HOT. Maybe...

GamerGirl- Welcome Back GG :p thank you

Graf- Yerp, 3 games or more would probably be just a waste cause I wont have time to finish them. Dead Space is more of that sci-fi western horror compared to the Japanese Vengeful ghost type (fatal Frame, Kuon ETC). Persona 4? mmm hmmm, maybe Thank you

MSI- dead space and LBP? Lots of dead space votes on here...and yes LBP is cute :p hmmm maybe

deadwash- persona 4 or LBP? more votes for P4...maybe

PhantomMarvel- Hello! more votes on silent hill, lbp, and P4. Oh I wanted to get Disgaea 3 but I wanted something more refreshing like Valkyria Chronicles @ everyone, thanks!!
Posted Oct 25, 2008 3:57 pm PT
oh yeah and dead space is little bit more focused on 'pop-out' scares then long term tension and isolation like SH or whatnot, but it's still kinda creepy. that said, the sound design is amazing and if you have a surround sound thingamabob it'll be awesome to hear. I strongly recommend Dead Space... and Persona 4, and Eternal Sonata, and LBP, and Mirrors Edge, and Prince of Persia and Darksiders next year and Prototpye as well...
Posted Oct 25, 2008 6:23 pm PT
It wasn't an order just...an extreme suggestion Like I could order you O.o lulz
Posted Oct 25, 2008 7:22 pm PT
Haha! I didn't know you're into rhythm games? But this is really sweet, knowing someone else from my friends list who loves the genre. And actually, if I were in your predicament, I'd wait for GH: World Tour's bundle to come out since the equipments are supposedly more durable. Then I'd get RB2 as a game only, since the equipment works on it as well. So that'll leave you a month or so to worry about getting the money or something and in the meanwhile, be able to get 3 games that makes up for that 1 RB2 bundle.
Posted Oct 25, 2008 8:25 pm PT
Dont listen to grafs second post to much. Im a horror fanatic and Dead Space made me panic and feel disturbed. Not many pop out scares actually.
Posted Oct 25, 2008 10:14 pm PT
I haven't played any of them and that is a tough decision because they are all different types of games. Seeming as you're into the horror thing I'd go Dead Space, seems that is quite the game and is a win for sure .

Posted Oct 26, 2008 11:41 am PT
My top 2 out of those listed would be Persona 4 and Little Big Planet. Why don't you think Poison Pink, Ar Tonelico 2, and Eternal Sonata are worth it though? =O
Posted Oct 26, 2008 5:31 pm PT
Graf- pop out scares are like a staple of Horror. I think its all good but if it becomes too predictable, it comes off being really cheesy. Yes the atmosphere seems to be something really special. I don't think im rich enough to get everything Graf :p I know I wont be getting POP cause I still haven't finished any of the other POP. vexxy- Mmmm Hmmmmmmmmmm :p

Mufu- Yeh (: I was Hooked on dance games till I ran into rockband. Playing it with friends is really fun. I wish there was a POP band but I know that will never happen. I've taken a look at the peripherals for both games and GH does seem alot more durable. I didn't know the peripherals work inter-changably on both games. I'll be getting it if I can find someway to trade in lots of games. On top of that, i'd still need to buy a new copy of RB2. Gosh i'll be spending a fortune! haha....maayybee!! *hugs*

MSI- I don't get scared easily unless its really cerebral, dead space does look pretty cerebral to me (:

Jeff- yeh I love horror! I was going to buy like 3 horror titles at bestbuy last night cause I was craving them :p Anyways, dead space does seem logical enough to give someone who is all up into horror rite? The only thing stopping me is myself, I don't have time to play it until 11PM :[ ----------------------------------------------------

Angel- More love for persona and LBP (: I'm still thinking about Ar Tonelico 2, but the others aren't going to be on my wish list. Eternal Poison has strange graphics. The fight scenes and the HUD seems really weak. The strange 10 second load time between each attack is another factor that I don't like. I didn't really like the demo for ES cause the battle system seems weird. Um, i'll have to hit you back on AR tonelico 2 in a bit. I got to hit class, bye now! *hugs*
Posted Oct 27, 2008 7:42 am PT
Well I'm still getting Poison Pink, so I'll tell you if your doubts about the game were well founded, when I actually get around to playing it that is. Aside from it being a SRPG, the fact that it comes with a soundtrack and art book and is only $40 makes it irresistible to someone like me.

The battle system of ES is weird at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's quite fun. Especially later on in the game when you can chain attacks together and destroy anything in your path. If you don't think it's worth the $60, maybe you can wait for the price to drop and pick it up then.

Ar Tonelico II not being on your wish list was surprising to me. I'm glad to see you're having second thoughts though. I've had my copy paid for since the pre-orders first started. It's delayed until January now though. >_>

Have fun at class and I'll see you later then. *hugs*
Posted Oct 27, 2008 10:12 am PT
Glad to see you feel a bit better. Try to watch some funny stuff like Everybody Likes Raymond or an Azumanga type anime.

I'd drop LittleBigPlanet. I mean it looks cute and all with the...ragdoll things and has great customizable options but I can't see the fun in it lasting all that long even if you are playing with friends. For me my two would be Rock Band and P4 because..you know..I'm not too big on them horrors.
Posted Oct 27, 2008 7:57 pm PT
I Haven't played any of those games so go for what you want, Also you should give Eternal Sonata a try it look's like a really awesome game(just my 2 cent).
Posted Oct 27, 2008 9:24 pm PT
Angel- The bundle release is really tempting. I initially wanted to order it just for the collection alone. However the bundle seems kind of lazy compared to Ar Tonelico 2. It looks like the soundtrack is placed inside the same DVD case and the artbook isn't even packaged with the game. I'd like to hear what you think about it (: I still have hopes for this game even if I think its completely underwhelming atm.

I do intend to pick up Eternal Sonata sometime since its the only real RPG out on the PS3 ATM. Chain attacks and destroy everything in my path? No wonder you have an axe in your room.

Ugh so they delayed it again? bummmmerr. My wishlist is totally outdated, I rarely update it xD ARRGH im running late on time again, bye for now! *hugs*
Posted Oct 29, 2008 7:32 am PT
I agree with 2ndWonder, Persona 4 is all you need But to add another game to make it my Top 2, I'd have to say LittleBigPlanet. The customization options in that game look just amazing and it honestly looks like a whole lot of fun! ^_^
Posted Oct 29, 2008 6:07 pm PT
comthitnuong- I'm actually going to play LBP today with some friends. I'll see if its really worth the hype (: Rockband 2 and Persona 4..mmhmmm maybe

serbine- Ill get eternal sonata later, when its cheaper

marco- Seems like Persona 4 is on everybody's wishlist Yeh LBP looks stunningly beautiful and cute. I'll be playing it with a few friends in a bit, ill update my thoughts ^_^
Posted Oct 30, 2008 6:48 am PT
Yay! Sis is feeling better! ^_^ Personally, out of all of those I'd choose Rock Band 2 but that's just me XP Being the music freak and all
Posted Nov 2, 2008 6:49 am PT
Doomo arigatou ^_^ I'm dying to pick up a copy of Rockband but that would totally ruin my bank account T_T Decisions decisions....

PS, you can totally find hair extensions at best buy now, they seem to be stocking new AHM atm.
Posted Nov 2, 2008 9:58 am PT
Rockband is addicting XP

Oh, I know totally! I found 'Bunshinsaba' at Best Buy but my mom wouldn't let me get it because 'she doesn't like those kind of movies' T_T *Blows up* So not fair!
AND my friend Ty told me that she's seen the THAI version of Shutter at Best Buy! Either she's telling the truth, or she's crazy X_X
Haha, the last movie I watched was Art of the Devil I'm so behind on my movies at the moment XD
Posted Nov 2, 2008 12:48 pm PT
Yeh I saw WitchBoard over here too. I haven't seen it yet, do you think its any good? It better not be like "dead friend" *GaGs*

WHAT? no way! How can it be! Maybe she saw it at best buy YEARS ago. I swear that movie is so rare, even I can't find a bootleg copy down in china town :p

The last movie i saw was Hanzel & Gretel. I want to check out some more but i'm so lazy to watch movies. I've yet to even buy myself a new game either cause I don't have time. Oh and I have a huge exam tmr but I don't have time to study for that either. bummer X_X
Posted Nov 3, 2008 7:02 am PT
I just realized how adorable your profile is right now xD
Posted Nov 8, 2008 4:36 pm PT
1st let me say.. wait.. this word may not be good at this moment... The point is that I feel AWFULL it seems you were having a hard time in your life (I read the previw blog now) and I was not here for you. I got really behind with blogs, my work was taking a LOT of time and when I went into vacation by the end of Oct I just wanted to go out, go to NYC, check my union and play... and of course anime... YOU KNOW (at least I really really hope you know) that you have my shoulder to cry, my ear to listen and my hands to cheer with a glass of wine. Hope you are feeling better (gladly it sound like it) HUGS...

now on teh game topic...

DEAD SPACE!!!! you are a horror/gore fan and as you know I`m too.. and that game is FREAKING sweet on it. is not slow pace horror, but the thrill is amazing, at least for me. an for what I have seen I think you would love it.

Silent Hill: again horror.. the game do have something different some of the "**** i`m gonna die, I ahve to run, run" - feeling is less for some reason. BUt neverless the game is great.

Persona 4 has not being release so i would not comment on it, just yet. I do have an eye on that one thus.
btw: I LOVED eternal sonata, I got teh game, had barely ahve time to play it and decided to finish with my few grains of free time Dead Space and SH 1st, before I forget where was I. But the game is pretty good. so far a great RPG, I do not like turn-based much, but bc this one is a kind of a mix to teh clasic sty/e I liked it... and is GOOD.

LBP is pretty good, but I have not got it yet.. why? I had to made priorities in game, kind of like you are now, and LBP is one that can wait imo. Also it was having some issue online when lauch, now a "wheel of doom" is out (some silly ppl affecting lvl for fun) so I figured that I`ll play the game that I really want and would leave that one for when I need some multiplayer cute fun.

nice to hear from you.. XOXOX

EDIT: kind of read your last post here.. and china town,, would you mind telling me where do you live? sorry if I have ask before...
Posted Nov 14, 2008 11:40 pm PT
Ugh Im addicted to Left 4 Dead I wish you had a 360 to play with me and graf.
Posted Nov 19, 2008 8:10 pm PT
Persona 4.......its really cool
