EDF! EDF! EDF!

Just defeated one of the most difficult games I have played in a long time, The Earth Defense Force 2017. It's a long running series in Japan that started on the Super Nintendo, and has build up into multiple games. Unfortunately most of the games never came to North America, but one of them The Earth Defense Force 2 was released in Europe for the Playstation 2.

What I played seemed to be a simple third-person shooter, with hardly storyline except that giant bugs and robots have attacked the world. The nameless hero who is part of the E.D.F. (Earth Defense Force) is stationed in Japan, among a lot of very weird comrades. These guys get hyped over everything, and some of their conversations and out bursts of speeches are all laughable. With that I post some of my favorites:

"Those damn aliens making holes in my backyard!"

"Tiny is dead!"
(That one was yelled a lot, how many Tinys are there?)

"I feel like a mole or something."

"I can kill these things with my eyes closed!"
(Maybe you should open them so you can stop shooting at me!)

"Fight with honor and don't die, got it!?"
Everyone: "Sir, yes sir!"

And of coarse the well known war cry of all: "EDF, EDF, EDF!"

The graphics are probably one of the best things about the game, colourful with good graphic buildings and houses. The spiders look grossly real, and the robots are very shiny and bright.

Without mentioning the difficulty part of the game, the only thing I have issues with is the vehicles section, mostly with the helicopters. I know that helicopters are probably very hard to learn and steer in real life, but why make it that realistic in the game? A lot of the missions that I done probably would have been a lot easier if the helicopter was used. But steering and moving the damn thing is a new difficulty itself, let alone trying to attack something.

The only thing I wish they would explain was who was attacking? Who was the mastermind behind this attack? Was it the ants, robots, spiders, or the Godzilla ripoff?

Other then that this game is pretty fun in a love to hate sort of way, as long as you are not looking for something with an in depth storyline. Earth Defense Force is one of those games that are fun to play till your hair is pulled out from the frustration. I just wish that I had a Player 2, unfortunately I played solo. Congrats to anyone who actually played the game with the difficultly Inferno.

Join The Resistance

I just defeated Resistance Fall of Man and I have to say it feels like I am playing War Of The Worlds and I wouldn't be surprised if this game was based on it. It's a pretty good game with good graphics and fights. I found it a lot more exciting then Gears Of War and I can see why the two games are always compared to one another. When I first played this game I was always in a state of panic, trying to protect my squad and fight against the monstrous beings. After when I found out that the main protagonist Nathan Hale is the only survivor for a long period in the game. So seeing bodies after bodies fall to the floor it was no longer surprising or trying to find ways to save them. Even if I do manage to save one or two, when a movie sequence happens they will magically fall dead (probably from the shock of living.)
Hale is the only human that can with stand the attacks of Spires. While anyone else would be dead, with the virus of the Chimeran Hale is the only one who isn't. But it also seems that Hale is infected with something as glimpses of his eyes are shown to be a golden yellow and you get enhanced speed when you have a sniper gun. For a long while I thought Hale was a mute character, but he just seems to be the quiet type. His body language is portrait well in sequences that occur.

The one person who stood out for me in the whole story is Cartwright, a witty British soldier who will lend a hand once in a while. His skills at times I find to be plain luck, he can take down stalkers single handily and still can crack out a few British humor while at it. He was a strong help and probably the only soldier who didn't seem to be a generic copy of one another.

Everyone thinks that there is a "thing" going on between Rachael Parker and Hale, yes I see something. Captain Parker sees Hale as a science experiment. Hale who has no interest in the woman tries to avoid her as much possible by going on suicidal missions.

My favorite part in it was the driving through the gates with Cartwright shooting the Chimeran soldiers. Cheering you on to run them over with the vehicle and cheering when you do. I love driving games like that not racing but driving parts like in 24 The Game or Raw Danger. I also liked when Hale and a few others had to hold off the Chimeran while others blew up London Bridges. I admit a couple of times I did sing London Bridges falling down, falling down, falling down. Mostly because it was 5:30 am when I finally gotten to the part and I was silly from being tired.
Resistance Fall of Man is a first person shooter it was a game that I tried to ignore for a very long time. In fears of getting a bad case of simulation sickness once again. But I found a way to avoid it with drinking lots of liquids I made a large jug of apple juice with small breaks here and there. I felt little to no dizziness and managed to defeat the game in two days.

I am looking forward to Resistance 2 there is no release date so far for the game but the trailer I saw looked awesome and a lot better then the first one. As well as footage as Hale being less human from the beatings he gets from a massive chimeran he tries to take down. The other Resistance game that is coming out isn't well known compared to Resistance 2, is the third person shooter Resistance Retribution.

Gears Of War

I never expected to be done so quickly. I just started this game yesterday and I just defeated the last boss today. I didn't even know it was the last boss, I thought it was an annoying boss that was in the way of my destination. The game itself is far from my expectations of it, both in a good way and bad.

I remember when I first heard about this game and looked at their webpage. As the main character gave a small briefing of the monsters while he talked inside a cell with nothing but a small box of matches. There is a lot of things that I hope they will explain in the future Gears Of War 2 such as where these things came from, why they want war and even these out cast who live as homeless colony within cities.

I had a couple of issues with controls like when he is ducking and sometimes if you move to get a better cover or better aim he will all of a sudden stand. Or how it's hard to get a clear cut with the chainsaw. I will pretty much try to button mash the chainsaw button trying to activate but to no affect. I also found Hammer of Dawn too much of an advantage, and the satellite position seems to be always in the right when it is needed.

Also the NPC I just want to smack if they aren't randomly jumping over things they are rushing ahead to either be shot down or myself shooting them. At other times when I need them they wont even come over from there hiding spot to pitch in and I am stuck taking down a swarm myself.

Listening to your teammates is like listening to 20 year olds, they swear and pretty much make fun of everyone's mom, a lot of the time seem to not take the war serious. The only person who is serious is Marcus. But they are funny and I couldn't help but laugh at some of their conversations.

I guess I should consider myself lucky to start this game so late, so now it's fresh in my mind as Gears of War 2 comes out very soon.

I'm Sorry Daddy!

If there is one goal I set this year it was that the first game I defeated on the XBox 360 it would be Beautiful Katamari. Being a fan of the Katamari series Beautiful Katamari was a bit of a disappointment compared to the others.

Prince is once again set out on a coarse from the black hole that his abusive father, King of the Cosmos created. So the story goes, to me it feels shorter then the other ones and instead of taking in request like you did in the other Katamaris. The Prince just goes from building to building to all is complete. A lot of the levels seemed to be repeated from previous games such as the endings credit game which was first used in Me and My Katamari. As well as the rolling up countries, the only things they did different was extended it further into outer space. I can see a reason for this, for people who haven't played any of the other games because of them owning an XBox to have some of the experience. But for me it feels like playing the PSP version all over again.

The opening theme song doesn't seem as energetic compared to the other three such as We Love Katamari. It was the first sign that this game wasn't going to live up to it's name. The thing I was really disappointed in was there no story within a story. In both Katamari's for the Playstation 2 there was a story that followed every roll completed. In the first one is was about a boy and his family who want to go to a moon that wasn't there. It was up to the Prince to roll up a Katamari to make the moon as well as the universe. We Love Katamari was a memory of King of the Cosmos as he grew up with a strict father and ended up running away. Only to meet his love Queen of the Cosmos. But Beautiful Katamari feels incomplete because of this, felt like they didn't care much about it or it was rushed.

Just like in every other Katamari game Daddy of the Cosmos finds new ways of punishing the Prince for his errors. This time it's a cosmic billiard table and Prince is set in the middle running for his life against the billiard balls that are striked to him. Earning the King points as he lectures you about so and so.

I have yet to play the online because I just recently got a XBox 360 and haven't hooked it up to the internet yet.

Kane And Lynch: Dead Men WTF?!

For about two days now when I have time I've been playing Kane and Lynch: Dead Men. I was hoping for this big fiesta of fun but instead I got an average shooting game with crappy endings. Despite how the story line was focused more around Kane, I was more into the story behind Lynch instead hoping that it would reveal some of his past and black out that causes him to loose control.

My friend told me that if you play co-op and whoever plays Lynch will see hostages start turning into swat. Which would make anyone panic fast enough to take down them all with a shotgun. Sadly though I had no friends to play co-op with me.

The part I had the most fun in would be the Japanese night club and the fight with a construction truck. It was crazy and fast with a lot of luck just to bring the mechanical beast down. All the rest is mostly the same kill everyone leave no survivors.
When I first played this game I thought it was going to mostly be about running around from city to city to get enough money to get back your family. But the final stages will be in small villages and jungles during a war. Throughout I had a small army to use at my disposal and so I did, it wasn't till I got to the final part where I decided to rescue everyone to get a crappy ending. I decided to play through it again hoping to achieve something better. But I really can't tell the difference.

It was announced a while back ago that there is a sequel and a movie coming out. I am not too concerned about the movie and but more about the sequel. Big question for me is what ending are they going to follow up on if any?

There also seems to be a different design on the game case and it is changed in the game. Lynch has a lot more hair on the game case but seems to have lost a lot in the game.

Army Of Two

I went over to my friends house and decided to play Army Of Two. After 8 hours we finally manage to defeat the 5 stages of the game. The game was far challenging for me then most games, mostly because I always fly solo. I am also not the most rational when it comes to hard decision making and Army Of Two is very unforgiving.

Oddly enough I found shields to be my best friend throughout the game. They gave me the perfect cover and hold out long enough to ram each person in my path. With my friend taking all the high grounds to make powerful weapons to manage a good shot. I on the other hand was more worried about pimping out my weapon with gold and silver casing and diamond encrusted bullets.

Don't get me wrong I did do my share a lot to help out I mainly kept the aggro on me as my friend finds a better position. Mostly when it comes to bosses I would stay the farthest away to and shoot to get his attention as my friend moves in with the grenades and bullets. There was some questionable parts when the enemies would do 360 spins shooting off a couple of rounds.

Salem and Rios are two for the comedy. If they aren't slapping the back of each others heads or using their guns to play air guitar. They are giving hard time to each other on the field. From tripping to pushing and tumbling each other. You question if they would kill each other if it wasn't for the money.

I never played it solo and sadly I cannot find a cheap pre-played version of it in EB Games yet. So I really don't know how the AI responds but I heard it's pretty good. My friend and I are hoping for the next Army of Two game, but how will they name it? Army Of Two 2? Or is there going to be a title under it? We will be very surprised if there is no sequel.

Today I am going to order Army Of Two: Dirty Money the graphic novel.

So Angry And Yet So Tired... Damn You Assassin's Creed Ending!

It's almost 5 am and I just defeated Assassin's Creed and if there is one thing you should know about this game. It's that the ending leaves in a cliff hanger. So if you are into it as much as I was then you will be very pissed off that you have to wait for the second one to come out. And no I am not talking about Assassin's Creed for DS.

I really can't say that I hated the game, the only thing that pissed me off was trying to find information in a very large city. It takes me forever to do and it's so annoying.

The game storyline itself leaves more questions then answers, not only that I looked for a while for some sort of information about the second one but found little to nothing. I guess the April Fools joke they did would make me pissed off if I cared about it back then.

I have to admit when I first saw this game I had really no interest in it, but once again a game surpassed my expectations and I really enjoyed it. It felt like a Historical Hitman game. But a lot of people say it's a lot like a Prince of Persia game. I never played Prince of Persia before so I will have to take their word for it.

Well off to bed I got work.

Title HAWK

I just defeated Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots, I bought it on Friday the 13, and just finished it. I have to admit this game took on a much more darker atmosphere then the other Metal Gear Solid games. Mostly because you slowly start to see the abuse that Solid Snake is taking on his body throughout the mission.

There is a lot of parts I really enjoyed in the game, I found it fun how they kept making the same reference to Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty opening scene where Snake lands on the ship in that unique way. But my favorite part is fighting against the Frogs with Rat Patrol which is Meryls group of three men Ed, Johnathon, and Johnny (Akiba). You fight your way through a building trying to escape just to have the inconvenience of Johnny crapping his pants and yes you can see the stains.

I found an artistic form of flashbacks of all the games excluding Metal Gear Acid and Metal Gear Snakes Revenge. It was really moving when Snake goes to Shadow Moses for the last time, everything still in place as he last saw it. A small theme is played as memories from Metal Gear Solid for the Playstation is played through conversation echoes. Just like the saying goes "It started here it ends here." So having memories stirred up again makes you remember certain parts and conversations. Remembering when we pick up that game and play it for the first time, completing every scene doing every battle. How after ten years you are back to those old roots just for one last go.

At times it can take a dark sad path which made me even sad at times, at others it was filled with action and comedy. All in all I'm glad this series is finally over, but at the same time I wish it didn't have to end this is my favorite series and I hate to see it go. Hideo made sure that Snake would never be able to come back for another game but that's okay.

Trapt Bad Ending

I defeated Trapt before going to work today, I got the bad ending I couldn't defeat the final boss. A Fiend was really strong and I didn't know at the time (till I looked it up) how to defeat him. I would have restarted and do it over again but I got a cool looking trap for unlocking this ending. So when I feel like it, I will once again indulge myself in the massacres and slaying of humans.

If there is one thing I love is the main characters outfits they are all unique and different. The ones I like the most are Allura's and her maid Rachelle's. To me their outfits are the ying and yang of the game. Even though as Dark as Rachelle, is Allura is the one going around doing the bidding of the Evil Fiend.

Seeing how Allura wears very little clothing and nothing to protect her from physical attacks she can take damage quite easily and can get killed off with the right close range attacks compared to far range.

But less armor means more durability for faster movement and awkward positions through traps of the castle and you own.

The part that turns this story dark is Allura's personality at the beginning deaths and murders she committed she would be scared and would try to refuse the deeds. But more and more into the game she just watches over the corpses before her almost having no feeling for them left. This game is one dark game, something that you can either enjoy for the art, battle system, and techniques for death. Or just enjoy the idea of death and destruction in this crazy mansion, either way this is a great game, I only wish it could be a little longer.

The End For Chulip

I just defeated Chulip, I've actually been really addicted to that game I played it none stop once I got home from work. It's a game that has it's flaws and at times can be very difficult but it's a game that is not appreciated by people. The comical parts of the game is what kept me going, everything from the reference of Space Invaders in the Scarecrow Field, to the Midnight Films of Goro.



Favorite Moments

My favorite parts would be the Factory when you have to hide from the security guard and if you hide in the Fourth District under beside the outhouse. The guard will eventually run in and take a very loud shit.



I also liked teasing the cop at night seeing how many times I can run around him without getting shot. As well as give blood to Dr. Dandy just to hear his cackle.



I liked going to the Turtle Bathhouse the music was the best in the game for me, and taking a bath perfectly is a big challenge till you get the hang of it. But it's all fun and you even get a smooch from Leo if you take the bath correctly.



Once you kiss someone they automatically get put into a photo album that is located beside the tv. In it is pictures of the people you kissed doing things that is silly and would give me a good laugh.



My favorite Underground Residence would have to be Sniper and Target, Sniper would always wait on top of a hill in Scarecrow Field for Target to try use the outdoor facilities. Being on his hands in knees Target will craw to use the toilet as Sniper relentless shoots at him. What really makes this skit comical is that Target is this fat businessman with a cigar in his hand. While Sniper looks to be a out of the trenches trench coat fiend.



But the best is actually find "Poopie" everywhere from garbage cans to bushes. All will make you loose hearts. But the humor of it is that you get different sizes from regular to large. Then there is Mr. Cheapot who will buy it off you and if you decide just to throw it away it will turn up in the Lost and Found at the Police Station.

(I took this picture with my camera, I thought it was the funniest thing ever.)

This is a really good game to relieve stress there is some problems with it such as no translations for titles in films and when it cuts to the next episode. As well as tons of spelling mistakes. But once you look past all of that it's a really good game that everyone should play.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations

I just defeated Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations, I thought the final case was really good with the plot twist and the merciless battles again and again. But sadly I still found Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice For All my favorite of the series.



The game play is a lot different from the other two games mostly because you can question the defendants in court with their own testimonies. Also you get a better look at Mia and Phoenix's past and learn more about them. As well as the mysterious Godot a new prosecutor to go head to head with Phoenix. The only thing I really didn't like about the game was the same mistake they made with the other two as well. I am tired of having a game over and having to read through every sentence or amuse myself with something else until I get to the part where I lost the trial at for another round. I would like some kind of fast forward button to let you speed through text instead of having to wait for their full sentence. Like they do when you already read a certain part and you can fast forward it again.



I was quite surprised when one of the cases was a thief case instead of a murder case. It was something totally new and I much welcomed and wish that the series would have more then just murders. As well as the new Canadian judge that was in some of the trials as well.



But I loved when my favorite character Franziska Von Karma made her appearances along with Miles Edgeworth. I kind of figured they would they are important characters and seeing how this game was dealing with the past and present of everything they were bound to show up sooner or later.



I am still debating at this point if I want to play Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. I am not a big fan of changing the character in any series. When it's already deep within the series and you are familiar with each character and their history and story. But I guess they wanted to take a new approach to the series. Seeing if this new remake to the game would spice things up instead of releasing the same old same old over again just with different death scenario.

Spoilers.

At the case of the Mask De Masque I already had a feeling I knew it was Luke Atmey behind it all. Mostly because I saw a Fillmore episode where a fake psychic would receive emails telling him about future events before they happened. It turned out to be the school reporter that was giving the tips and hints of the future upcoming events in order for the newspaper reporter to become famous for his articles about the psychics predictions. It was exactly the same where Detective Luke Atmey used Mask De Masque to go in and steal valuable items from museums and exhibits. So Detective Luke Atmey would "Retrieve" them back from Mask De Masque and become famous and with rewards of his accomplishments. But none the less the trials were still just as fun.

Innocent LIfe

I had a day off today, I was planning to clean and do house work but instead I was too addicted to Innocent Life. Just like any Harvest Moon game I will become crazy addicted to it and will hardly put it down for anyone. I guess the fun care free life style of this game series makes it a lot more calming and easy to play compared to other games. This game takes place in the future where an island called Heartflame Island is on the edge of becoming over whelmed by lava from the Fire Spirit who rules the island. It all began in ancient time when the Spirit of the Forrest was deceived by humans who were trying to get the crest to win a war. The spirits then punished the humans and almost wiped out the entire race of Easter people. Even in the present of the game the people of the island was still feeling the wrath of the spirits.



A doctor came up with a way to save the people by making a robotic human which he prefers as an Innocent Life to save the people by unlocking the seals of Ancient Ruins and farming the old ways to prove to the spirits that not everyone has turned to technology as all the towns people have.



That is how your character is born they give him a name at the beginning in which you can change later on. I decided to keep the name which was Life. At the beginning you were taught the basics of farming and was soon sent to a 3 story ruins that kind of resemble an Aztec temple. Wish secret passages and 3 stories you can use for your own personal needs.



Later in the game when everything gets moving you get a buggy cart which you can drive all around the island and a robot to help you farm. It's sort of an advanced Harvest Sprite. There were a lot of things that I really enjoyed that I noticed that they changed from a lot of games such as if you drop something on the ground it wont disappear. If you don't water your plants they wont die the next day they will still live but you wont get as much money as for them. The only things I don't like is the lack of festivals and when a festival does come up if you don't do things properly you can miss the entire thing. It became very fusterating at times especially the ones that will actually get the story moving again. You also don't get married in this game sadly this is the second game I played that you don't get married the other one was Harvest Moon Save the Homeland. As well as there was some spelling mistakes I noticed in it but not as bad as Friends of Mineral Town. Also everyones houses are too big and it's easy to get lost in them! (I just quickly put that in).

Just like in any Harvest Moon you get a TV and you can watch a lot of interesting shows such as Cooking, Drama, and Anime. The Anime channel shows two series from what I saw one called "Cute Witch" and the other "Final Z Rangers." For Drama it's "Where's My Mommy?" and "Melancholy Woods." In Final Z Rangers there is an Alien who moves into a condo that you somewhat rent out at the bottom of your ruins. He is a really weird thing that kind of looks like a blue baby.



In the game you learn how to become human by getting your human status up from rising to a challenge to watching life and death happen to you. The more you understand them the more you truly believe you are human.

I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys Harvest Moon games, real farming might be boring but not Fantasy farming.

Jeanne d'Arc

I just defeated Jeanne d'Arc it took me a while but I have to admit it was probably one of the best tactics game I played. I played quite a few tactics game and they abuse me with their leveling and just the whole movement of the game. But I think I found a game that didn't beat me bagging for me to stop until I cry and give up on the game.



The game at first was really in depth of the Joan of Arc story but once at a certain part it started it own little story leaving the tale of Joan of Arc behind. The ending I thought was okay there is hardly endings that I really like but it wrapped everything up leaving it so it could have a sequel if needed.



At the end of the game there is a free battle area that you can go to a cemetery and fight ghouls and ghost in. Other then that there is nothing really to do in it but repeat the ending over and over.



In the game you get to choose between two hidden characters either a whip girl named Rose or an aged witch that looks young named Claire. I went with Claire because I needed more magic users on my team and she helped a lot time and time again.



I don't usually latched onto a lot of female characters mostly because I feel that they always lack the will that I look for in characters. But Jeanne is probably one of those great characters I can respect to play as a female leader in the game.



It's a good game that I recommend to anyone who likes JRPG tactic games, it doesn't take too much to level and there isn't much of a grind you have to go through. So it's fairly easy to get through the game with little to no problem.

Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed

A while ago I defeated Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed it was a really fun game for the Wii and the first game I defeated for the system. At first I found the controlling really hard to do, mostly because I am not use to Wii remote and this adjustment took a while before I got the hang of it.

The game is about the 1970's where Pox started a fast food restaurant called Big Willy's using the dead human bodies that Krypto killed throughout the generations for DNA. Now the Colonel Kluckin the fast food rival to Pox discovered the secret behind it all and is trying to bring ruins to Pox's Big Willy.



Throughout the whole game they keep making puns about the "Big Willy" robot or restaurant. It was funny but a lot of the time disturbing. I was hoping for more humor around the Wii system and how this game wasn't on the Playstation. They also had a lot of missions one of them explains what happened to Kryptos love interest in Destroy All Humans! 2, Natalya.

Krypto now seems to be a lot more happier being on Earth then before in the first and second game all he did was call the humans stupid monkeys. As well as hated everything about them and wanted to destroy everything that they treasure most. Now Krypto seems to be warming up to the planet and wants nothing more then to get laid by a hot Earth girl.



Unlike Destroy All Humans! 2 all the places aren't real country's but resemble certain places like Vietnam.

There is an Island called Fantasy-Atoll which is a rip off of Fantasy Island and you see everything in there from Pirates to survivors from plane crashes.



There is a lot of new weapons as well as old ones my favorite is the Zombie gun which turns everyone you use it on into zombies and sometimes the people they bite as well. It's like play Resident Evil. As well as Big Willy the mascot of Pox's fast food restaurants which you can go inside and use attacks such as laser eyes and bad breath.



The bosses in it were awesome, my favorite as the stereotyped Asian who rode a bike throwing bomb strapped chickens at you.

It was quite entertaining chasing him around trying to blow him up while he makes cracks about Chinese food and Chickens.



The only things that I didn't like about the game was that it was too short and there wasn't enough talking amongst the people when they saw Krypto. In the other two games there was nothing but yelling, screaming and puns about Krypto or themselves.



The game itself is before Destroy All Humans! 3 Path of the Furon but at the end of the game they do lead up the it. Which I think is a good way to end the game, hopefully I will have a next gen system when Destroy All Humans! 3 comes out so I can play it.

The Warriors Defeat Spoilers

Just finished playing The Warriors the game. I was quite surprised when a few members of the group either died or got arrested. It was a good game found the final boss a little challenging at first until you learn that he only has six shots before he reloads so it's all about timing. The ending itself wasn't that good and it's a game that I will probably never replay again. It probably would have been a better game if you fought more gangs instead of a selected few. You hardly actually see anything from The Lizzies, The Moon Runners, or The Punks. I thought there would be boss fights throughout but there was only about 5 or so which I guess I can't complain about too much.

Birthday / Phoenix Wright

Just defeated Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney- Justice For All. It was a really hard game but I managed to get to the end, I managed to get the good ending through lots of thinking and knowledge. I made the right choices and in the end got a really heart filled ending. I thought the ending was awesome and well put.

As such today is my birthday I am now 21 years old. I haven't been doing anything except lazing around and playing Phoenix Wright. I have nothing special planned because I work the rest of the week. Parties are too much trouble, right now I am trying to get my Summoners Job on Final Fantasy XI while I played Phoenix Wright at the same time. I need to find the weather of fire in order to get all the colours of the rainbow. But it's a lot harder then it looks, so far fire is the only element I am having trouble getting. But I have all day and I will continue looking for Fire weather.

Justice For All

Been playing Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Justice for All. It's a really good game despite a lot of typos in the game. I just finished the Circus and just started the interviews for the next chapter. This is a music video I found that I thought it was pretty good.

Welcome To Silent Hill

A week ago I defeated Silent Hill Origins, the game was really good and it gives everyone a small understanding of what happened the night of Alyssa's half re birthed. The game circles around a truck driver by the name of Travis Grady. He planned to pass through the small town, but just like so many he had a dark past that the small town hungered for.

The ideas from Silent Hill 4: The Room that made it so your weapons break after so many uses made this game a challenge at points. Some of the camera angles were a pain in the ass but all in all it was a good game. They also have it so you can throw stuff at monsters including small TVs which made me laugh because it reminded me of the time Angela beated a monsters ass using a tv near by, in Silent Hill 2.

There was a huge glitch in it where I noticed through the internet that a lot of people also suffered with. The sound would do a lot of odd things for a lot of people for me the radio would cut out as well as the monsters sounds and my own footsteps making it really hard for me to move around not knowing what I will run into. The only way I found to get rid of the glitch is to restart the whole game by going back to Home on your PSP and reselecting the game erasing the glitch. But unless there is a save point near by I found that I either used a lot of items or died trying to find one.

Unlike previous Silent Hill games where going to the Other World was random and unable to get out until certain conditions were fulfilled. In Silent Hill Origins Alyssa gives Travis powers over the mirrors where by simply touching them you can go to the Other World by your own will.

The music in the game was really good and it gave me the spooky sensation of Silent Hill that I missed as well as the monsters moans and random noises.


The Butcher is the Silent Hill Origins Pyramid Head. But unlike Pyramid Head The Butcher serves little to no purpose. He is just a monster that goes around stalking you but never really attacking. He seems to only "butcher" monsters that he captured in Kitchens or the butcher shop itself.

The thing I like to do is the commands you get to use when a monster captures you, instead of taking it like a bitch you can fight back by pressing buttons that appear on the bottom of the screen. This makes it so you can fight against even the most toughest monsters and take little to no damage.

A few of the bosses you fight come back as monsters you see in the streets of Silent Hill which I shook my head at. The Bosses are suppose to be unique and different from the average ones you see on the street. But instead the creators of the game got lazy and threw them in to fill the streets with previous boss monsters.

The only thing I wish they did was to explore more of Silent Hill, for a long time I just want to explore the whole town without having a cliff or barricade interfering with my exploration. But I can't ask for much for the PSP hopefully with the larger and more powerful system of Playstation 3 they will be able to satisfy my need to see it all in Silent Hill 5.

All in all this is a really good game it even has the multiple endings and a UFO ending to top it all off. I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys Silent Hill series.
