Here is some good news to start off this blog. Sega is publishing Tri-Ace's next RPG called End of Eternity. At least the name isn't nonsense like Infinite Undiscovery. The art style has a Final Fantasy VII vibe to it with dark colors, and crude metallic structures. Little is know about it, but it will be a multiplatform RPG!
Tales of Vesperia is going multiplatform as well, and will be heading to the PS3. I almost picked this up for the Xbox 360; it's a good thing I was able to catch this information before doing so. Using the Blu-Ray disc, more audio for voice overs will be added to the Playstation 3 version including new content. That's pretty awesome isn't it!
I've been playing Killzone 2 lately after putting Metal Gear Solid 3 down for awhile. This game is gorgeous, and also intense. But the dialogue is just too melodramatic, and there's the unnecessary cursing. At the same time, it's funny. Once I beat it, I'll get back to MGS3. And speaking of Snake I went out and purchased Metal Gear Solid 4. How come it's $49.99 everywhere? I don't know but $10 off isn't bad.
The new Puzzle Quest came out this week, and it's in space on Xbox Live! But the game has you thinking in more dimensions then the previous one. Gems can now fall or rise in any direction(depending on which way you pull a gem to line up colors) so it has you thinking harder. Not to mention there are so many different types of combinations you can pull off. Along with the puzzle elements it still incorporates the RPG elements and combat which makes this puzzle franchise unique. Another puzzler I want to get is the new Lumines on the PSN which I often dance while playing it in my kitchen.
I was going to talk about Breath of Fire III but I'll reserve that for later. Also, I took a long hard look at the Fat Princess and I can not wait for it to release on the Playstation Network this summer! It is 32 players fighting over a princess who likes eating cake. You have several job classes you can be to fight other players or to fortify your team. The more you feed the princess the fatter(and heavier) she gets. AWESOME! Your team not only has to fight off 16 other players, but they also have to carry the fat princess to their lair. So throughout the skirmish both teams are trying to steal the princess for each other and hold her in a dungeon. What an interesting game, eh?
