Valkryst started his cosplay feature (which he’s late on right now…), and the contest announced last time was cancelled because we literally had no response out of it, but we’ll do something else later on.

CLOUD Message Scans

Before I post the scans, I would like to thank ameblo.jp for supplying the world with the scans. Also, make sure to click the screens, as only the first and last ones aren’t linked to larger versions. I may be able to work on translating the scans over the coming week, time permitting, so make sure to keep popping back. Just click below to go to the scans!

Oh Mercy, No Mercy.

With a delayed review on Sonic and Prince of Persia, I figured I’d give you guys a few pointers in Left 4 Dead. Particularly… the No Mercy stage. The only stage I ever play in versus. I’ll also conclude this post with a few game improvements I think valve should bring to the game.

More after the break!

White Knight Chronicles Trophies and Story Trailer

Resident Evil: Degeneration Review

 

The new look Leon and Claire, back in action.

 

Resident Evil Degeneration is Capcom’s answer to the Hollywood smash hit take on the survival horror franchise that has revolutionised the genre time and time again. Instead of Alice and her telekinetic powers, we see a pre-Resident Evil 4 Leon team up with an old friend to combat a new outbreak. Is this film the true film adaptation of Resident Evil? Or is it as lifeless as a zombie? Read on to find out…

Note: Beware of a few spoilers.

Who you gonna call?

Ghostbusters!

Hey guys, Kyolux here! Seriously, if you grew up in the 80′s, you have to make yourself the favor of watching this game trailer. I was ever-doubting the success this game would get once released, but after seeing this? I don’t really care how it’ll play (still hopefully good), the story and characters are going to be awesome.

Random things. Week of 01/12/2008

Hi!

I figured I’d post this week about my going ons. There is no full review yet but pending someone doesn’t beat me to it. (You’re free to do so!) I will most likely review Sonic Unleashed and Prince of Persia. I picked those up yesterday. Not knowing what to think of each because things have been quite hush for both! I played one hour of each last night. Am I satisfied? Yes. Quite satisfied.

More after the break of course!

Game Review – Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix

Whoa, how did I forget to review this?
Well, being a fightng game fan, it was hard to ignore the latest rendition of Capcom’s Street Fighter 2. Having a solid fighting engine already, a big following, people were hyped for this, and for good reason.

Well, I’m a Street Fighter fan, but I’m in no way a pro. I don’t play at pixel and frame perfect levels,  but I still really enjoy playing SF2.

Now Capcom brings us a visually updated and rebalanced version of Super Street Fighter 2, so let’s check it out.

MMORPG first impressions – Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine

http://megaten.aeriagames.com/
This game is currently in closed beta.

Well, this is my first MMORPG in a long time. The only other MMORPG I’ve played extensively is Ragnarok Online on private servers.
So really I’m not a big MMORPG fan, but this one caught my attention for a simple reason: Shin Megami Tensei, and when I looked up some info it made me think of Nocturne… a little bit. Though I’m not big on MMORPGs, I’ll do my best to describe this.

So here are my first impressions on the game. I only played around 2-3 hours, so I know it’s not exactly enough to go very deep in the game and to get a 100% precise impression, but at least I went through the basics of the game.

Read on for moar.
