8/10
""It's fun to think different ways to kill enemies, but it get's old pretty fast. use of curse words is too much even for me! I know these guys are macho ex space marines but still..."

8.0/10
"Good sound and graphics but game is way too short!"

8.5/10
"Game is good but I felt there should have been something more. But in the end good way to finish the trilogy."

9.0/10
"Great looking graphics and sounds amazing. Story is pretty good and gameplay is top notch! I really did feel that I am somekind of super nano soldier."

9.5/10
"Great story and characters. Graphis looks good but facial animations could have been better. Searching stuff and augmenting yourself is quite addicting. There is lots of replay value and you really want to play this game at least couple times!"

8.5/10
"Story and characters are wacky and humorous. Game is part 3 of the franchise and it's not bad but next one should improve the formula somehow... and game is suprisingly short even if you do all the sidemissions."

(GS:8.5/10, Metacritic:89/100, Me: 9.5/10 )

"Still best Final Fantasy game I have played! Story, world, characters and the atmosphere is best which you will see in Final Fantasy game. you really care what happens to the characters and the world you are in. You haven't played this game?! Why?! Play this game!"

Now he and his crew are off to find One Piece, while battling enemies and making new friends along the way.

Question 216542:

Dark Souls, Yay or Nay?

- MorkkiTH -

Yep, I'm still here. I haven't been very active lately but family and work is taking it's toll.

I'm starting at new job after one month! It will pretty much triple my salary and I will have some work trips to other countries. I'm sure that I will be VERY busy first two or three months. I have one week vacation coming soon but I have to already do some things for my new work. Training, order and check new equipment ect. As you know (?) I'm at the moment... I'm not sure if it's right word but you could call me construciont worker.

My new job is diamond drilling and such...

- MorkkiTH -

ps. oh and monthly blog is coming at the weekend (I hope :P )

As you know fall is the beginning of gaming tsunami which strikes hard! You have to make up your mind which games you will buy. Money is always a problem... stupid, beautiful... money... where was I going with this... ou yeah. Like everyone I have problems which games I should buy. Luckily there was some movement in the game releases (pushed to 2012) so it helps little bit. I made a list of games, which I try to buy this year. It was pretty hard to choose but this way I hope I have enough money :P So here are my choices:

PLAYSTATION 3

and these are if I have enough money:

XBOX360

NINTENDO 3DS

and if I have enough money: (I left out Starfox 64 3D because I have already pre-ordered it)

So these are my choices. What you think? Of course there are some games which I haven't mentioned here but which I will buy if I can find those games reasonable price. (Catherine, Yakuza 4, El Shaddai, Resident Evil 4 HD and I'm sure that I forgot some games... Battlefield 3 and new COD are wayyyyyyy down on my list by the way) I also get 10 free GBA games for the 3DS (eshop games) because I bought 3DS at launch :) So if I can get everything I would get: 11 PS3 games, 1 X360 and 4 3DS games. I think this is reasonable :P :D

- MorkkiTH -

Yep I changed my avatar :) I have been using this one for a while in playfire and I finally changed it here too :) Yes, it's still Zaraki Kenpachi :D

oh and remember to check my new monthly blog!

What?! I'm on time with my monthly blog! wow! :P :D I'm sick (flu+littlebit fever) so I have time to do this now. So let's get started :)

"Crazy and fun. Those two words pretty much descripe Katamari Forever :P I really didn't like the controlls. Different kind of controls and score would have been higher."

8.5/10
"Game is long and there is lots of levels to play. Story isn't anything special but everything else is on very high quality! Graphics are good (enough) and same thing is for the sound. I highly recommend this title if you are fan of turn based games."

7.5/10
"Very short but this RTS game really works for the console. story was ok and cutscenes are very well done. Not bad purchase for 9.95e!

Now that summer is officially over what is your score for the summer of 2011? (0-10) and why?

- MorkkiTH -

This is coming to be real bad habit, being late with my Monthly Blog I mean. But new born baby, I'm back working and of course gaming takes time from blogging and such. Anime watching has also suffered... :( I try to do something about this non existence blogging of mine! I talked with @HavQ-san about one thing I really want to do but at the moment I don't have the means to do that properly. So well all just have to wait...

"Must play if you are 3DS owner! Lots of things to do, updated graphics (beautiful!) looks amazing use of 3D is well done. And we can't forget the great story which you really want to experience! This kind of games I want on my 3DS Nintendo! (New IP's thank you)"

"Short, lots of bugs but there is that star wars atmosphere, weak one."

8.5/10
"Graphics and voice works are good but is it just me or is gameplay gotten littlebit worse since first game? I really didn't feel a superhero with the powers and new powers that they did introduce were... not interesting. Good game but there is things to improve. I wonder if there is going to be part 3..."

8.5/10
"Not good as Killzone 2 but still entertaining. Graphics look good but all the improvements are small. Game sounds good too and quality overall is good. There just isn't that "wow" effect when I play this game which made Killzone 2 stand-out."

(GS:8.5/10, Metacritic:94/100, Me:10/10)
"This game is must play if you are 3DS owner! You may have played 64 version but still you want to play this again! There is Lots of things to do, updated graphics (beautiful!) looks amazing use of 3D is well done.

"Good looking and good use of 3D. Short but there is some extra stuff to collect."

9.5/10
"Addition of the gels, gravity thingys and such whit great voice actors and intriquing story makes this game 9.5/10 Now Valve give us Half Life 3 or Episode 3!"

6.5/10

6.0/10
"3D addition is useless and game is short. there is track editor but it wears of quickly. Game is good in very short burst."

- Portal 2 (GS:9.0/10, Metacritic:95/100, Me:9.5/10)

"Addition of the gels, gravity thingys and such whit great voice actors and intriquing story makes this game 9.5/10. First Portal was short, but Portal 2 is about twice as long in singleplayer but co-op brings more levels to play and playing with your friend is lots of fun! Valve has announced that there is coming DLC (which should be free by the way!) which will give more gaming time with this great game.

Nichijou

Info

While the title suggests a story of simple, everyday school life, the contents are more the opposite. The setting is a strange shchool where you may see the principal wrestle a deer or a robot's arm hide a rollcake. However there are still normal stories, like making a card castle or taking a test you didn't study for.

Question 19367:

What have you been doing lately?

- MorkkiTH -

There is lots of games shown at the E3 shows and this years show wasn't exception. I choose the best here on my list. I choose only the games to the consoles I own or maybe will own in the future (...PS Vita...) So I left out Wii, DS and PC games.

Best Of The Show



Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Uncharted series 3rd part was shown at the E3 and it looked amazing! First Uncharted wasn't perfect but second Uncharted 2 made big improvements to the serie. Uncharted 3 seems to take everything to the next level again and it seems that this will be again one game you must own if you have PS3.

Best PS3 Game Of The Show

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Best x360 Game Of The Show



Gears Of War 3

Very few x360 games was shown at the E3 this year. Gears Of War 3 was best of those games. Game looks and feels great but will it give us something new? It seems that small improvements has been made. Will this end this story part of the Gears Of War universe? I hope it does. I like this space marine feel what there has always been but I think it's time to finish the story. I'm sure that Epic games won't dissapoint us.

Best 3DS Game Of The Show

Super Mario

There is big demand for 3DS games. Super Mario (what it is called for the moment) is good choice for the 3DS. I was hoping it would have come littlebit earlier than end of the year... Game looks like mix of new super mario and super mario galaxy (or super mario 64). This is my most wanted 3DS game at the moment and I have high hopes!

Best PS Vita Game Of The Show

Uncharted: Golden Abyss

Like PS3 brother this game looks great. There is touch screen additions but luckily you can play without touch screen too. second analog thingy makes playing this game much easier and this may be one of the greatest handheld games of the time. (still not best)

Biggest Suprise Of The Show (and almost best of the show...)

Prey 2

Prey 2 was something that did come out behind the corner and hit me in the face, hard! First Prey wasn't anything to special, just normal fps game. But they are making Prey 2 something different. It reminds me of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mirror's Edge. I'm very eager to see more about the game.

Ending credits

Most of the sites did choose Bioshock Infinite to their game of the show. I'm not big fan of the bioshock universe. Games are somewhat different but I don't have very high hopes for this new part of the serie. Game looks great and it seems to bring some cool things to the serie but is it enough?

Same thing is for the Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. I haven't bough Black ops and Modern warfare 3 don't look like I should buy it (at least not when it full priced). Battlefield 3 looks much more promising.

PS Vita games looks great but I don't see much diffence with the PS3 games which is not a good thing. Of course I don't mind if the games are good but still something new only on PS vita would be cool.

and now I will rest because I'm sick... (flu) oh and if text is somewhat weird or something don't mind it at the moment. I will check it out when I'm feeling better :P
