I've never gotten into PC games for some reason. Steam looks like a pretty neat service, though, and if they ever made a Steam console, I'd be all for it (even though it would just be a PC, too). The one Steam game that I would download instantly if I had it would be Ys Origins. I've heard rumors that Half MInute Hero 2 is coming to Steam as well.
Since I didn't have a Genesis as a kid, I never got into Phantasy Star games. However, after playing Phantasy Star 4 years later, I'd have to say I'd probably be just as into that as I was FF6 in high school and college. It was a very good game.
I like Diedre's blue hair.
I should have a new blog up in the next day or two, so keep an eye out for it!
The electronic store Fry's also used to sell import DS and PSP games, that's where I got a lot of mine.
I reviewed the Sky Crawlers game. It was like a casual Ace Combat (it was made by the same folks). The anime was boring.
I bought the Prof. Layton cartoon on DVD.
Not sure if I remember any video game references in The Wind Rises, but I would imagine it probably wasn't intentional, as Miyazaki's not to big into video games. However, after watching the movie, I had a strange hankering to play me some 1942 and 1943.
That bird looks like he's going, "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
Yeah, preach on, brother!
Although I think I would do a good job of handling 1up...maybe.
Now who on earth is that in your gamerpic?
In my opinion, Paper Mario: Sticker Star is the worst of the Mario RPG games. The sticker item management is too fiddly, and there's no reason to go into battle. Isn't that what RPGs are all about?
The soundtrack to Gods Eater Burst was done by my favorite game music composer. That's about all the interest I have in that game.
Pokemon Snap was an excellent game, but then, it was made by HAL, creators of Kirby, so that's to be expected. It's almost educational as it teaches kids about the basic elements of photography. I would love to see a sequel on the Wii U or 3DS.
Back when I was writing for The Dallas Morning News, I reviewed Pokemon Snap. I still remember my tag line that went on the front page for my review: "Smile and Say Pikachu!" Defintely a high point in my game reviewing 'career.'
