In my morning peruse through game-related sites I came across this little videoon Destructoid.  Kind of funny.  I really enjoyed Shenemue when I played it way back when.  I wouldn't mind seeing a game of that type coming out on a current gen system. 

On a side note, DMC4 looks rad too.  I really enjoy those games - since the first one I have been really impressed (well, the second one wasn't so hot if I recall).  I am also glad to hear it's going to be on both 360 and PS3.  Choice is always a good thing.

In other news, I am still catching Pokemon.  I don't think I am at a very good point to offer much to trade at the online trading place (the name escapes me).  I have heard concerns that the game is a grind-fest.  The concerns are valid.  For people who haven't played Pokemon games, the combat is very simplistic from RPG standards.  Even I get put to sleep by the grind between towns.  So there comes the question, is the driving point of the game even worth it?  I mean, if you have a compulsive nature like I have, catching as many pokemon as you can can be a lot of fun.   But the implementation of online, though an improvement on the previous offerings (nothing) still leaves something to be desired.

For example, from what I can tell, anyone with Pokeman worth a damn want to trade them for exclusive creatures.  Like the startup guys you have to choose from at the beginning of the game.  Talk about lame.  There should be a way to get ahold of those creatures besides trading.  If anyone's like me, they won't want to part with their Monferno - Rufus.  There's just a bond there.  I won't trade you fire monkey!

I guess I should just work on getting Pokemon exclusive the the Pearl version and trading them off for Diamond exclusives.  That's a start at least...
