shallow? who cares.
September 11, 2009

read some reviews on Muramasa and some reviewers are saying the gameplay is shallow and it's more style than substance. i mean really what were you expecting here? SOTN-like gameplay with deep RPG'ish customization? it's a 2D sidescrolling hack n slash, beat-em-up action game. it doesn't need alot of depth for this particular style to be good. it's stylish and fun..that's all that matters. haven't had this much fun since playing Guardian Heroes. muramasa is all about seeing how many combos i can rack up in one battle. the most i've got is 150-something on the 1st boss and almost 100 on a wave of regular enemies.

Why I Should Win Nintendo World Championships
September 01, 2009

Video games have become a life-long obssession of mine. For nearly 25 years I've played thousands of games on dozens of systems, spent innumerable hours completing them(who keeps track when you are having fun?), and learning the culture and history behind them. Out of those 25 years of video game knowledge who hasn't heard about the Nintendo World Championships? I had the chance to experience the game on a replica NWC cart in a competition at a Classic Gaming Expo several years back. Rustiness aside as the picture below prove, I had a blast!

tentacles and....a girl? omg controversial??!
August 28, 2009



some people think it is a little too provocative while others are disappointed because it is using sexual images to sell a product that would cheapen or otherwise misrepresent what the game is about?

The director of Muramasa: The Demon Blade did the cover art for the magazine. i thought that was pretty cool and perhaps a rare occassion to have guest artist for a magazine.

i think this may be the best and most action-packed game they've made yet. 2D is not dead.

i guess this guy is famous on youtube for his video game collection. it's not the biggest collection i've seen on the internet, but 1,300+ games is still alot. my 300 game library doesn't compare! how big is your game library?

haven't played this game in years......
August 25, 2009

maxed out on my $55 bid(it was going for $51) and won Dragon Force for the Saturn off Ebay complete with manual, insert and the RAM cart sticker. i got it 10-15 dollars cheaper. can't go wrong with that. lately i've been intersted in collecting Working Designs games. couple months back i got Exile and Cosmic Fantasy for the Turbografx both sealed in the box for $3 each and also got Iron Storm for the Saturn. i'm eyeing on Magic Knight RayEarth and Growlanser Generations next.


lately i have bought...

Blazblue: Calamity Trigger PS3 - (the 2D art looks frickin gorgeous and finally ArcSys makes something new that is not called Guilty Gear but you might as well call it Guilty Gear HD since it looks alot like Guilty Gear but prettier)

Eternal Poison PS2 -(got it used for $30 based on Zigfried's seductive review. the only thing i don't have is the artbook cuz i obviously got it used but condition looks almost like new which made me snap it up)

Yddra Union PSP - (got it because of Knights In The Nightmare and it's made by the same developer, "Sting". haven't tried yet..)
