So its been quite some time since i did posted last, and unfortunately no one commented for read it for that matter. In anycase, i've taken it upon myself to become more involved in the gaming community starting with my upcomming youtube channel: GamingRetrospective. I have several episodes recorded but only one posted, just as a prototype type thing. In anycase, I'm going to use this blog to talk about various purchases and game reviews starting wtih...
3D Dot Game Heroes (PS3)- Now this is the most recent purchase I've made, and my expectations are well met to say the least. Looking at my screen name you can tell that I'm a major Zelda fan; obviously. Now how does that relate to this new ATLUS title? Its very simple. 3D game heroes is a clone of Zelda, and not in a bad way by any means. This game is Zelda down to the finest detail, from various tributes and hones to actual gameplay elements. The art ****is reminiscent of retro NES games like Final Fantasy, though the characters are 3D...obviously. Cool features of this game include the ability to make your own sprites through an indepth sprite editor. It really works well. In anycase, there isnt much to say about this game other than it is truly a must own for any retro adventure and RPG fans. While it is an excellent game, it doesnt bring any groundbreaking materal to the table; then again its not supposed to.
The Verdict: 8.0/10
Lost Planet 2 (PS3/XBOX 360)- First impression: Underrated. For anyone who was a fan of the original Lost Planet, I have a few things to say. The first of which is that this game follows the original formula completely; the difference is that one can now play with up to four players. This game is very fun to play with other friends, but then again there are several underlying problems that can be found after a playthrough. Its fairly uninspired, and the campaign is fairly linear. However, there are many a fun boss fight. The story strays from that of the first game, leaving you with a collaboration of random missions from different factions of the game's world. Wayne is nowhere to be found...period. The story is, for the most part, non existant. Coop is a blast, but multiplayer matchmaking is medicore. CAPCOM fans will rejoice at this title, but those who aren't into the whole Lost Planet lore will sigh in dissapointment.(that being said i am a major CAPCOM fan)
The Verdict: 7.5/10
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)- Nothing to say about this one
The Verdict: 9.75/10
