Just finished playing Wild Arms 2. Took me about 35 hours to complete, including several (fairly short) side quests. The game had a couple of good things going for it. The standard wild arms mechanic of having puzzles in dungeons is, in my opinion, pretty great. Instead of walking endlessly through corridors and tunnels and what not, I actually ( Read more... )

Preparations

There are a lot of pizza places on Hastings St. and Pender St. in Burnaby and Vancouver. I figured it would be fun to stop at as many of them as possible and have a slice of pizza. So the first thing I did was to make a google map of all the places:

I brought home a bunch more games from Rob's this weekend. They are mostly sorted and put away now, aside from a few problem ones I am dealing with. When I finished putting them away, I started wondering about how many games I had. The problem was, that question is somewhat vague. What do you mean by a game? Should I could Final Fantasy ( Read more... )

If you list multiple items on eBay and claim your pictures show the actual item I am bidding on, no two of your auctions should have the exact same picture.

It's been an average week on the buying front. Picked up 5 games on eBay: Kartia, Ephemeral Fantasia, Grandia Xtreme, Baroque, and The Nightmare of Druaga. I'm also talking to a guy that I've traded games from before to pick up 3 more in exchange for magic cards: Drakengard, Drakengard 2, and Jade Cocoon 2. That brings my want list down to 34 ( Read more... )

I've spent a bit more time playing shining tears. While the loading screens are annoying, the game isn't as bad as I was expecting based on the first hour. I now have 7 people in my party, and I choose which one I want to use with my main character for each battle. The other 6 are all different classes (archer, mage, etc.), so I can choose ( Read more... )

I finished AI:EM today. Total play time was around 39 hours. It would have been much less had I not spent so much time on side quests and item synthesis. The game was fun to play, the plot was decent, and the characters were okay. I've moved on to Shining Tears which is an action RPG. So far I'm underwhelmed. The most annoying thing about it ( Read more... )

I've had a busy couple of days. Saturday saw me buying 6 additional games. Magna Carta - Tears of Blood, Mega Man Legends 2, Musashi: Samurai Legend, Stella Deus: The Gate of Eternity, Tales of Destiny 2, and Vandal Hearts. Two of the games came from eBay, two from Amazon, and two from someone on the livejournal community videogames4sale. ( Read more... )

The last post I made about games I was playing was when I beat FFI. Since the FF Origins Disc was already in my console, I decided it would be less work in the long run to play FFII next. I definitely don't like this game as much as FFI. The one big thing about it is the character levelling system. Well, to be fair, your characters don't ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I've made a post about games I've bought. As such, I have a long list of games that I've bought to talk about. First, I'll just list them all,:
