I'm sure you know the Japanese can just about turn anything into a game by now (look at Wario Ware) and the latest subject they seem to be taking on is the exciting world of shares or stock exchange. While "Kabu Trader Shun" doesn't take on as serious a tone as Kojima's simulator (the guy behind MGS), it is based on the same subject. The story...
Just received my copy of "Tekken Dark Resurrection" from Gameplay.com this morning and this game is impressive (for the PSP, of course)! Gameplay's smooth, short loading times, great graphics and plenty of modes to get through. Being able to download Ghost data off the internet is just another great thing that adds to the...
Just had a shot at the free online version of DJMax just to get an idea of what the game was like. From what I read of the DJMax Portable version, it sounded like a fun game and looked great too but I wasn't going to order it until I tried it out first. Admittedly, I felt a bit like a zombie at first after all the Ouendan I've played. The songs in DJM...
Yes, the first part of the Death Note movie was aired on Friday on Nippon TV for all to enjoy. The director's cut was shown at 9PM as part of the Friday Road Show 20th Anniversary Special Project. Needless to say, a RAW is already floating around on the internet with eager fans waiting for the subs.
Well, another video on my "To Watch" list...
Well, just started working on the scripted guide for the new "Tales of..." DS title which means I probably won't be posting on my blog for a while... So far, the game environments look better than FFIII IMO but on the other hand, it's lacking a bit of character expressions to drive the story along. The last "Tales of..." game I played was...
Square-Enix has started a competition for the Japanese to give them a chance to win a copy of the cute Chocobo game coming out in December. There are basically two ways of entering. One is the "Freeform" method where you can take a picture or video of anything that resembles a Chocobo. The second method is "Colouring" where you have to...
Players can download this demo until November 4th and will be able to enjoy a little teaser of the first case "Gyakuten no Kirifuda (Turn Around Trump Card)" where Naruhodo Ryuuichi himself (Phoenix Wright" is the accused. The full version is scheduled for 2007 Spring....
Well, just got my copy of the game on Monday but haven't had much time to play it. The graphics are impressive so far apart from the inventory screens which, is just a bunch of very small 2D icons instead of 3D representations of items. It's good to see gear changes are reflected on your character, though! Something I find missing in many...
No, the DS isn't kicking out English teachers. Currently only two schools in Kyoto, Yawatashi are teaching English using the DS and they are Otokoyama Higashi and Yamata Senior High. It's a trial run by the Board of Education to teach junior and senior high students new English vocabulary. You won't find the software on sale because...
...Or at least they look like it close up! Here's a magnified view of a snowflake at 300um. Not the snowflakes you usually see in Christmas decorations, is it? If you zoomed out it would look like one but this is simply amazing! Looks like a random CG render!...
