This video shows an exploit known as “god rock” the second designated god area in the game, which means you are safe from every infected. Personally, Left4dead has got to be the shortest game I’ve played that I’ve replayed constantly since the first week of release. The first thing I did was try the game on advance, which was mild because I hadn’t learn the keys, but afterward it was Expert all the way, unless I wanted a quick or stupid game. There is just so many possibilities to discover something new or die in a hilarious and dramatic way.
It truly is every horror movie and more. But I can finally say a true Co-op game has been released despite years of waiting since the childhood days of 4 player Simpsons and Marvel arcade games.
Fragile is the upcoming Wii game and the first Wii game that has caught my interest! The style looks similar to Fatal Frame, but the game is not walking the survival horror path, but instead a beautiful and more dramatic vision of the future where humanity has faded. The game’s protagonist is Seito, who finds himself in search for a mysterious girl that he happens to encounter one day while searching for survivors.
The theme song is sung by Teshima Aoi, a 21 year old Seiyuu and Vocalist. She is known for her calming music and earned a youthful entry singing for one of Ghibli’s newer films.
Remember that old Korean music video by IVY which copied the Tifa fight from Final Fantasy Advent Children? Remember how they got sued by Square because they did not get permission? No? Well it was a popular song in Korea, but the video has been banned throughout the country. And here is a video link (Veoh not Youtube) here!
As of Monday December 22, 2008 Vancouver has over 30 cm of snow! I need to take some pictures for memory sake! Most the snow fell this weekend, but a good 5-10 cm was from last Saturday. The snow did not melt over the week though, but the roads were driveable, unlike today!
When was the last time we heard a scary story? For most it has been far too long since those days where we could be brought into a world of fear, but at the same time accept it as a part of life. Soul Eater brings Death and his Academy to Earth. At this school, which co-exists with our modern world, students are trained in a set curriculum to learn about their undead enemies and collect their souls. If this is beginning to sounds like every shonen anime out there, then this is where the similiarities stop. The characters constantly fail in their missions, and are kept from knowing about their missions in detail. Throughout the episodes Soul, Maka, Death the Kid, and Blackstar sets out on episodic missions of comedic and serious campaigns against Witches. These characters share a weapon and meister relation and they’re led by Death which has teachers leading their tactical assaults on Witches. Most of their missions are carried out the same way S.A.S. or C.I.A. missions are accomplished, but with more humor and satire. The anime is done with a nice style, friendly, but dark, and in some cases scary, but surely entertaining and original compared to shows like Naruto and Bleach. The show doesn’t get old nor does it borrow from ideas of previous “I will train and get stronger” animes. The art is clean, dark, and the violence is enough that if this had aired in the 90’s it would be labeled 18+. The pace is fast, the soundtrack is great and the direction is perfect!
The new Yotsuba& toys that were available for pre-order have been released and imported to our shores. They were available at several branches of collector stores aimed at anime and videogame fans, and carried a hefty import tag that was well worth the price. Available again are Fuuka and Yotsuba, but this time in their Summer attire. Joining us this time is Ena Ayase, the younger sister of Fuuka. She may not be as interactive as revoltech Yotsuba and her best friend in a Danboard, but her cuteness is stunning and comes with multiple uniforms.
Squaresoft has secured a deal with XBOX360 allowing it to port FFXIII, but at the cost of die hard PS3 fans in North America. This is good news for XBOX360 rpg fans, and now many FF fans that own a PS3 are left wondering if there was a reason to own a PS3 just for Final Fantasy. But of course not, PS3 has their own fair share of exclusives including MGS4, Uncharted, and Resistance Fall of Man series. As one of the first Final Fantasy games in recent times to hit multi-consoles at launch you can expect the fan base to be huge.
Well, since Chrono Trigger has been confirmed for the DS there has been mixed reactions about this port, which was long overdued and features very little changes, and why it was chosen for the DS instead of as Wii download content. The arguments stems from people who desired the game upgraded like the upcoming Final Fantasy IV. Many argue they could just play their Snes version, rom version on their handheld or on their pc rather than shell out over $30 for a game that should have costed under $10. Megaman 9, which is original and new, but looking like its pre-megaman 8 games will be under $10 when it comes out for the Wii, (and newly announced for the) Xbox360 and PS3 through their respective download sites. In my eyes it seems more like a chance for Square-Enix to milk the porting cow, which they have done for many of their games for the GBA and DS, and appeal to RPG fans that were born too late to experience the snes version of CT, but want to play it with graphics standard for handhelds. Whatever bonuses Square-Enix adds to this port better be enough to appeal to die hard fans who expected a little more or else they may end up with smaller than anticipated sales.
