Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations another GBA to DS port that just seems to close all the loopholes of the first two titles. This of course will be Pheonix's last trial and case before moving on. It also does a good job of tieing all the things together for a HUGE finale case. I wont spoil anything for you but if you havnt played any of these titles you need to. A friend of mine got me hooked and I play this when I can. I also cant wait for the true new platform of the genre for the DS.

Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles

Castlevania is one of my all time favorite series and every game I have played of the series has been very good. X chronicles is no different with the story taking place in 1792, X Chronicles follows Richter Belmont as he battles to return Dracula to the oblivion from which he came. Having seen his beloved Annette kidnapped by Dracula, Richter must wield the legendary Vampire Killer whip and fight through the corrupted countryside to Dracula’s Castle to stop this horrific scenario from destroying humanity. The gameplay and visuals are very good and look like a very upscaled version of the NES Castlevania. Sound is spot on with classic sounds and music and controls are basic as usual. The only part that I see to be a downfall is the difficulty. WOW, this game can get Hella hard at some points much like Ghost ad Ghouls on the PSP. You can also unlock the original version of Rondo of Blood, localized in English for the first time as well as Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. So if your a fan as I am pick this ttle up and give it a whirl you wont be dissapointed.

Front Mission (DS)

is a strategy video game developed and published by Square in 1995 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Super Famicom in Japan). Front Mission is an ongoing saga intertwining the storylines of various heroes and their epic battles involving mechs. The games feature a very broad range of mech customization, where each individual part of the mech can be tweaked for the greatest possible performance. Its a fun game if your into this sort of gameplay but nothing I would run out and buy. I played the first four game and I love the Mech customization aspect of the games but the gameplay is inda blah and the stories dont seem to get better. Rumor has it the 6? or 5? cant remember, will be on next gen so lets hope for that one. Gameplay for the DS is cool its a grid based game so I cant go into detail very much lol.

NARUTO: Clash of Ninja Revolution

What can I say I love the Naruto games. They are Fun fighter and this one is no different. The major thing this title is lacking is that of the Japanese voice overs. That is a huge loss for me since I prefer that to the kiddy US versions. That aside if you have played any of the GNT series of naruto fighters be it 1 - 4 then you already have played this title those import games are all collaged into the wii title with new envronments as well as some other features. If you want to play a Naruto game and want a good fighter stick with this one since the Shippudden Ex 1-2 wont work on the US wii as of yet.

Dewys Adventure; My Sims; Anubis II; Crash Titans (WII)

Clumping these games together cause they should all be bargain games for about 10 - 20 dollars each. There not that bad although anubis looks like it was for ps1. They all have that appeal for little children and thats what the Wii was geared for so they are hitting the market and hitting it hard with this shit. Im not goign to review these games because none of you wil aactually pick them up the only thing I will say is that dewy's adventure takes the prize over any of them simply because the water story sounds really cool and the details are actually kinda fun and make you wanna learn what else little dewy can do.

PGR 4

Im not a huge racing fan, im going to say that right now. The racing games I do like are very arcade like and have no real simm feel to them (burnout, need for speed, etc.). PGR 4 is the game I recommend you give a shot. Its very detailed and the cars handle very smooth but not soo smooth that it takes the fun out of the game like Forza and GT do for me. Its got that arcade style but with the simm surroundings all wrapped up together into one package. The courses that I have played are pretty cool and allow you to practice your racing styles to take online to the actual fun games. The addition this time around seems to be rain and the motorcycles. Almost every track seems to be wet or slick to show off the hi-res textures put into the cars as well as the surrounding track. The vehicles and motorcycles handle well in my opinion and move and flow very well. The AI is really good and will interact with you when you pass them or they pass you kinda thing with gestures and breaking and some other features. The sound is beautiful with some cool mixes of tons of types of music all thrown in to keep up with the tempo and local of the races. This is one I recommend testing out on a weekend and seeing what you think. I wont buy this but definetly will be playing it until I have to return it to the store.

Star wars Battlefront: renegade (PSP)

So if you are a fan of the battlefront series do not pick up Renegade! This is a terrible version of the series with very little in my opinion to offer you. The multiplayer is ok and the visuals and gameplay are terrible. Its the same game as before just with some updates. The first hour I was playing I couldnt figure out how to shoot and aim with ease it was very difficult. Its frustrating to put this title on a system with one analog stick so why do it? This is one to pass on and wait for the next-gen installment for the ps3 and 360 whenever that is.

The Orange Box

Wow, was kinda wanting to wait for the PS3 version so I could play the mods for team fortress but im not waiting till december, lame!!. This game is awesome. All the games are really fun and well worth the price of sixty bones. Its all in all well over 80+ hours of gaming in one box. The visuals are really good and look how they should look on a nice pc but ive been told the pc version of this box looks even better. No point in delving into the story of the HL games cause you should know them and if you dont play them cause the story is amazing. Portal is a fun game although short still very fun. Team fortress!! its awesome and I will see you bitches on there fore some multiplayer action. WPP TF crew soon to come signup here and now to be apart of my league lol!! So go get this well worthy boxset of some really cool games.

*****/5 GOLDEN!!

Syphon Filter: Logans shadow

Wow! This in my opinion is the best PSP game I have played on the system. Well until GOW and FFCC come out for the system. This has a really cool story and the copntrols are actually not that bad they seem to work well but the aiming could be better. This is one of the few psp games I want to finish all the way through and recommend that you pick it up or rent it. The cutscenes are done very well and make me want to play the first syphon filter for the psp Dark Mirror, which is also very good and recommended. But with the good story, decent controls and fun gameplay this is one you cant pass up and nows the time to dust off the psp and put down the DS for a bit.

****/5 WORTHY!!


***** Just got the ps2 version of dark mirror and recommend this over the psp version simply cause the controls are easier to use and make the game that much better*****
