Hey don't forget to cover the most interesting new "game" for the DS that came out last week, the Korg DS-10.
Well, that's what I'm interestd in, anyway. I supposed it's not really anime related, though. |

I'm betting Tell-Tale. Oh, and I agree with you on the PS GITS, but I never could beat those training missions with 100%.

Haven't played "VP2" yet, but I am a little worried about how the plot for the DS game is going to work out, or at least the main character. I mean, getting angry at a Valkyrie because she took a warrior's soul?
 Way to miss the point, kid.
I really wish Production I.G. would consider doing some more "GitS" projects that stick to Shirow's art. They look so good.

Speaking of Shirow, I'm surprised you haven't covered Horned Owl.

If anyone has played the demo for Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, they will realize that just from the demo itself you can have at least an hour of fun from 2 characters and one location. I haven't gotten any of the previous Naruto games for a few reasons, game play is usually flawed, animation is sub-par, and any of the English releases seem to only have the English audio.
On the other hand, the demo for Naruto: UNS seems has really nice gameplay, very beautiful visuals and it seems like they'll be having japanese audio as an option, which is probably one of the major reasons I want to buy this, because the Naruto Dub is complete sh*t. Most people might say sorry for that comment but it's the truth. If there is any Naruto game that I will ever buy, it'll definitely be this game when it hits in October. I personally think it'll be one of the most popular Naruto games to ever hit the market. ... Now if only they would get around to making an awesome One Piece fighter..... maybe even a good Bleach one... More points for One Piece though.... |

As much as I love Haruhi, I don't see myself spending sixty dollars to learn how to do the Haruhi dance.

Brutal Legend.Problems always seem to befall Tim Schafer in one of his releases or another.Too bad.
Steambot Chronicles was decent.It felt a lot like Megaman Legends in the way the game engine ran.(that's good).The music part in Steambot was cheesy as hell though(that's bad).This PSP spin off sounds decent. I'm probably the only hardcore fan that really disliked Valkyrie Profile.It was too slow,had weak tactics and still has a toddler of a battle system.Wait,that's probably why everyone liked it.  Hey now,don't worry about it.I still own the double disc PSX version from when it first came out.I support your dirty habit.I don't hate it.It just won't get any praise (like everyone else loves to give it) from this corner.Though I'll probably be rockin this new one on the DS,man.Can't resist any JRPG. 
I think I'm gonna grab Soul Eater on the Wii as well.While it does look like more of the same,if you scout around for some pics you'll see that it's a third person adventure and not the common (easy way out,IMO) visual novel.Whatever,throw it into the collection.The Haruhi Wii game? Not so much. Sequel to the 360 Naruto game? Great.Rise of a ninja was fun,but too short and too easy( the actual game not the ramen missions).I'll take more of that.Todd mentioned it and I do thank Ubisoft to.....get the hell away from the beginning of Naruto,catch up with the rest of the world,bastards.Move away from Haku and Zabuza. NANASHI NO GAME :I just tried this game the other day.Here are some screens of it. You start the game,name yourself,are given a tired background of a Highschool then you get to mess around with a Japanese NDS Bios (Menu screen),followed by a trip around an old Final Fantasy sprite filled town (talk to sages to leave) sticks you back in the classroom and then you get to move.The 3D scrolling/movement is fun.I haven't played enough of it yet to see if there is anything scary. 
I picked up Ghost in the Shell for PSX back in Nov 97.Fun game.The graphic engine ran pretty well too.(it was like crusin on a sphere or like the Sonic the hedgehog 3 bonus stage more or less)I liked it.Short though.I had the GN,had the wallscrolls,had the action figures,had the VHS tape and the playstation game,man I was set back then.Movin on. Off-Topic:I just ran through Blood Will Tell/Dororo the other day.Bought the game when it came out and unfortunately whipped it into the PS2 collection(forgot about it).The guy who drew Blade of the immortal;Samura Hiroaki did the illustrations,revamping Tezuka's artwork and making it look way more mature.It turned out to be a really fun title.Predictable but fun.Switching roles kind of like in Shadow of Rome.I always wanted to be Agrippa/Hayakkimaru not the useless Octavius/Dororo.Overall Dororo is a great story and I like the extra's they added for the game.I'm sad Tezuka never finished manga.He truly innovated so many thing I've seen growing up.
 On the other hand,crappy rail shooters,eh?
I'll raise you an Elemental Gearbolt.

Shadowrun: I consider Dororo to be the only reason to own a PS2, but someone else disagrees with me on that one.

At least that Ghost in the Shell is a lot better then the one on the Playstation 2. |

Ataru: Most games are better on the PS1 than PS2. If the latter system didn't have a DVD add-on, Car-Jacking to the Best of the 80s, and Final Fantasy Disney, it'd have probably suffered the same fate as the PSP and PS3.

Yeah, cause Metal Gear Solid, Virtua Fighter, Tekken, Gran Turismo, Xenosaga, God of War, Prince of Persia, and Okami were all terrible games. I can't believe the PS2 survived launch week!

Oh man, I loved "Steambot Chronicles", despite my concerns about the title (yeah, "Bumpy Trot" isn't going to fly with the GTA crowd, but "Steambot" is just plain wrong because these vehicles are powered by gasoline, not steam!). It's not just a mech-fighting, rhythm action, sandbox RPG... it's also got a dating sim thrown in for good measure. Great to see that the series remains viable in Japan, and hopefully future installments will make their way over here.
