Its been a while since ive been on gamespot. Why? Its simply because ive been to lazy to blog and/or haven't found the time to do so. I've been contemplating posting a blog about my top 10 games of the decade, similar to what ShadowLaguna did on his most recent blog (I believe). Unfortunately I have now lost the motivation to post such a blog, and find myself writing on my recent purchases. I'ts been a while so its difficult to recall which games ive bought recently...though one that is quite apparent in my mind is last night's purchase of No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle.

NO MORE HEROES 2: DESPERATE STRUGGLE

Suda51's newest game in the No More Heroes series is down right amazing. Now im aware that many gamers say games are amazing somewhat loosely, though my statement is irrefutable. The game is almost identical to the first one with the exclusions of an overworld and mundane job missions. Instead, the overworld has been converted into a nice, clean map of the city. From this map you can select which job you wish to complete ( the jobs give you money that you can use to purchase various items from the two shops in the game. One sells beam katanas and the other sells clothes and other collectables.) Now the minigame jobs are 8bit; something that was tinkered wtih in the first game, but never really made it past a short Galaga like shooter during one Ranked Battle. I'd just like to say that theese games are a riot. Honestly most of them are better than most ****c arcade titles like Dig Dug and Rally-X. Its really just that fun. The diversity of weapons in this game is also pleasing. You start wtih the same beam katana as you did in the first game, and the second one avalible for purchase is the final sword of the last game. As seen in the trailer for the game, you can now wield 2 at once. Its a great game. As for the story, Travis is no longer the number 1 ranked assasin *for reasons that are unexplained, and will remain so*. Instead, he is now rank 51 after killing the brother of Helter Skelter; the first ranked fight from the promotion trailer for No More Heroes 1. After the CEO of Pizza Bat has Travis' best friend bishop killed and decapitated (bishop was that guy who brought you your motorcycle when you pressed the 1 button on the overworld), he decides to to back to the world of Ranked Assassin battles. There are "50" ranked battles, but to be honest there are only about 27. This is because 25 assasins are killed at once in a giant mech battle (an event that occurs very early in the game... its not really a spoiler. Somewhat dissapointing ill be honest wtih you.) Anyways its a great game. Boss battles are still excelent, though i feel like the butchered the execution scenes ie: in the first game when you killed destroy man by slicing him in half and watching his corpse slowly peel apart. I love this game. In my oppinion it is amongst the best Wii games (something that isnt hard to do *heh heh*), but seriouslyl its a great game. Overall score... for now its a 9/10. This is subject to change as the first game also recieved a 9.0/10 from me. Perhaps a 9.3-.4 by the end of the game? It all depends on the plot twists and craziness that occurs over the course of the game. I know this game isnt comming out in the UK, Austraila, or Japan for quite some time so I recomend importing it if possible. If you have have a modded wii that can play out of reigon games, and you dont live in the states...buy this...now. I cant get enough of it.

Now moving on to a curse thats been placed upon me...

WORLD OF WARCRAFT

I've attempted playing this game several times in the past, though ive not had the patience to level a character past level 15. Now that many of my schoolfriends play WoW I've been sucked into the fad. Listen; this game is fun but its not up to the hype that people give it. Now that they've added Dungeon Finder, its alot easier to level. Some issues i have with the game are as follows:

- Too easy to reach end game

- Lack of story based quests

- Too easy to obtain "good gear"

- Ultimately, its far too easy

Its fun but if you're looking for a new MMO to play and really get into, just wait for Final Fantasy 14. Please. Its going to be so much better. Final Fantasy 11 is already amazing for hardcore gamers that is. Its not for the casual gamer by any means, but if you are casual just play WoW. Its fun if you have friends to play with and talk to over vent. Raids and instances are fun. Downing bosses from the lore is also fun. Im level 38 on Whisperwind. Anyone that reads this blog probably dosen't play, and the chance of being on my server is small but i figure i might as well post my info.

So thats about it for now. Just waiting for White Knight Chronicles and Final Fantasy 13. Untill next time keep posting blogs UNLESS you dont have the time like me, in which case you can just post to mine. It would be greatly appreciated.
