Tekken 6

Ever since I first played Tekken 6 in an arcade in Japan last year, I’ve decided that I would get the game when it gets released on the PS3. Prior to Tekken 6, the only other Tekken I’ve played was Tekken 3 on the first generation Playstation, before my console blew up in smoke.

There mainly 3 game modes in the installment; The campaign containing the story, the arcade mode and the online mode.

Dragon Quest IX: My Review That Isn’t A Review

It’s been 6 days since I’ve started on DQ IX, and I’ve yet to complete the main story. Currently, I’m stuck at what I think is the last main boss, so I’ll have to go grind on more metal slimes. Meanwhile, I’ve been reading different opinions about how awesome or sucky the game is. Famitsu gave it a 40/40, while Amazon Japan is flooded with 1 and 2 star reviews.

Screw Famitsu, since I don’t believe that there is any game is perfect. Also, screw the 1 and 2 star Amazon Japan reviews, since that’s a concentrated effort by some 2ch trolls. Out of those who bought the game, everyone would be currently busy playing the game, except those trolls. As such, to me, DQ IX’s level of awesomeness will be defined only by myself. No way am I letting some punks sway my opinion of the game.

Here’s my take on it:

I Bought A Nintendo DS Lite For Dragon Quest

I’ve been wanting to get a DS for a very long time, but have been hesitating as I just couldn’t find a reason to fully convince myself into getting one. Unlike how there are people buying the PSP solely for Monster Hunter, there wasn’t exactly a game to make me do so for the DS.

However, now that Dragon Quest IX’s being released in a couple of days, on 11th July, I decided that it’ll be a good time to chip in on the release and get myself a NDS Lite. While waiting for the release, I bought Dragon Quest V.

You must be wondering, “Why Dragon Quest?” My answer is a single word, “Nostalgia”. That’s the reason why I have always held Dragon Quest in higher regard as compared to Final Fantasy.

Restarting Eternal Sonata

I bought this game a very long time ago, sometime in October last year. Yet, till now, I’ve yet to complete the game. It’s not because the game’s in Japanese. I don’t really have much of a problem understanding the language in the game. Rather, I’ve been stuck at a boss fight or as long as I can remember.
