Happy early birthday to me and random fandom ramblings

..Well, my birthday is on Tuesday but the chance that I'll ever remember to update this on my actual birthday is slim, so I'll put this here now. I've already made tenuous plans about what I want to do for my birthday, I just have to figure out when I want to do them. I might try to get the shopping done over the weekend, or if that fails my

Personally I have been playing Dynasty Warriors and Ninja Gaiden quite a bit. I haven't played it yet but Final Fantasy 13 looks gorgeous!

I honestly have very mixed feelings about Final Fantasy 13. I have it, played it and a few things stood out of me.

On the good side, it is a very beautiful game, I love most of the characters and the premise of both the storyline and world is intriguing.

On the less good side, I think the execution of the story and the gameplay itself is very flawed. They basically took the worst aspects of FF 10, multiplied them by 10 and threw in a few new problems. The first fifteen hours of the game is basically a grind of 'Get to point A!' over and over again with no chance to really interact with the world at all.

I have yet to play it, but it looks really pretty. I love Final Fantasy but I doubt that the gameplay is that excellent. They had to sort of sacrifice a lot of gameplay to spend money on the graphics.

When the price of it goes down I intend to play it. Its fifty bucks and I do not have money to throw around.

Oh yea, I forgot to mention it, Fable 2 is an excellent XBox 360 game. Although its on the easy side.
