Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

I haven't played Legend of Zelda in the longest and this was one of the more difficult games I have played or I am just losing some of my videogame skills (agh!). Moving on LEGEND OF ZELDA: PHANTOM HOURGLASS is a Nintendo DS game that starts a new series with the well known Link, spunky Tetris (who spoiler alert is Zelda) and other familiar and new faces. I didn't like the fact that throughout the game you had to use both the touch screen and the normal screen (I kept on forgetting to use the little pen that comes with the DS to make Link move), but I loved how the storyline went and the comedic stunts Link pulled off. Poor Link, he gets dizzy and it's hilarious how he reacts @.@ I didn't however make it to the end of the game, darn those bosses, they so tedious!

Anyway, still got tons of stuff to do, including this blog and won't let ya down! Ciao!

Busy Busy Busy

Oh my goodness! I will admit that I totally forgot about the blogs because of mulitple reasons:

-work (which has taken up half of my time)

-school related homework (taking 6 classes with papers, presentations and all the shin-dig)

-gaming (I'm a gamer, it's somewhat obvious)

-NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month which I'm on 40K)

Moving on, I remembered playing a little while ago Super Mario Smash Brawlers, but I think that is one of the most co-op player games I have played thus far. Choosing any character from Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, Poke'Mon and other popular games that most of the younger generation plays nowadays is very interesting especially when you use their special. The controls were a havoc to learn the first time when you're playing with experts on this game (I still keep on getting last place wah!). There isn't a storyline or anything like that, it's more like a short time game to figure out who is the King of the Arcade games in 3D formation. Love the graphics and cannot wait to see what else the creators of this game have in store.

Grand Fantasia

I found this game online and wanted to play it because I am big fan of RPGs (Role Playing Games). The closest game I can compare this game to is WoW (World of Warcraft) since you can choose between classes such as the warrior, hunter or mage (that has two categories that I cannot remember off the top of my head). You can make up to three characters, but can only play one at a time (gosh I hated when my warrior died! You lose XP (experience) points, which made me pissed!)  I wish the graphics were a little better and the computer I played on didn't lag so much, but hey I'm not going to complain, IT'S FREE 24/7/365! I wonder what my characters will look like once they reach the maximum level (level 71 is the maximum level)

IT'S THE SUPER DOG!

Based off the Disney film Bolt, I played the game for the Play Station 2 and oh my goodness, the game was one of the most difficult movie games I have dealt with. Playing as Bolt and Penny, but with a different storyline from the movie was interesting seeing how they were in their acting stage and Bolt obviously had all the super powers. My sister dared me to play the game because she got stuck on a level and I had to help her with it, I fail when it comes to hacking because it took me 9 times just to defeat that particular level. I did like the fact that when you do play a new game that it gives you a short tutorial of the controls and sometimes the villains in combat when they are defeated fall over the cliff. The graphics could have been slightly better, but then again if there's too much graphics on the game, the Play Station could react in a negative way. Overall, a challenge that I was ok with, did not love it, but I also did not hate it.

Two the Hearts

Following the first game, Kingdom Hearts II continues when Sora wakes up after a year of coma and the previous character you play as Roxas is a nobody who has dreams about him. I liked how there was a continuation of the story since the first Kingdom Hearts left off at a cliffhanger and those are one of the best yet worst things to happen to me! I noticed how the graphics in this game are a lot better than the first, though the first game had the better storyline and the challenging tactics of the second game are a little easier to control. Speaking of controls, they are the same exact like the first Kingdom Hearts so I was super happy about that. I did defeat this game twice and loved the fact that you did play as Riku for a certain time of the game to save Sora from the final boss (don't worry! Not planning to say what happens afterwards for those who do want to play it!). Overall, I did like the game, great music, great graphics, storyline is following up from where it last left off and would like to play more of the games from this series.

The opening for the Kingdom Heart II videogame, the song is by Utada Hikaru (this is one of the few most original songs I have heard Sanctuary.)

Ciao!

Incredible Blegh

Agh! I've been super busy that I almost forgot about keeping up with the blogs and to be honest, I only played about 10 minutes of the Incredibles before I had to take my sister to ballet class. I have never defeated the game, but playing it in that short amount of time is not enough to complete a level. This is one of those illusional long yet short games where if you don't complete a whole level, you need to begin all over again. From the previous times I played it I have always liked how the video game followed up with the movie storyline save for some of the additional missions that gave me a headache. This is one game I would leave for later when all the other games I play I am not in the mood for.
