Gaming thoughts of the day

Oh Giga Pets, how nostalgic. I had a pet thing like that, it was a Dalmatian and I think I pretty much forgot about it and I barely ever used it so it starved and got dehydrated. The battery died and I never put a new one in it, probably threw it away. Talking when I was 8 or 9 here. Maybe even 6 or 7 because I remember it was at the house we lived at before this one.

What is this Ni No Kuni everyone's waiting? Yes I know it somekind of JPRG but what is so amazing about it? Havent played rpgs for a years or at least good one so how is this different to let say FFXIII which I didnt like. Thinking about trying persona but havent had enought time to play yet.

I've just played the first episode of Walking Dead, and I'm pretty impressed!!

Great story, great decisions, great characters, great lenght. I'm sold. I'll probably be spending the next four days playing one episode per day

And is it just me or does Clementine look like a younger version of Alyx Vance? Man, I got that feeling all throughout the episode

Is Castlevania: Lords of Shadow any good?

It's causing kind of a stir because it's sort of a throwback to how JRPG's were when most people first fell in love with them. Seems like a generally simple battle system, a wide-open world map, an innocent, endearing story and art style... just a whole lot of lovability to it.
Most JRPG's that have come about in the past several years have been trying -- almost desperately you might say -- to make grand changes and alterations to the established JRPG format. In some cases it works out into something truly original and great (Resonance of Fate), while other cases seem to have a much rockier time finding their footing (Final Fantasy XIII). But in just about all of these cases, whether good or bad, it can be said that they're all pretty far-removed from how JRPG's were "back in the day."
Ni No Kuni seems like it's presenting a style much closer to that golden age of JRPG's that so many people were once fond of. And, as games are now, that makes it stand out from the crowd. So people are jumping onboard with a lot of enthusiasm.
Oh, and its animation and designs are done by Studio Ghibli. That's not really the main selling point for me personally, but I'm sure that's part of the reason for all the clamor.

Well no 6 or 7 year old should ever be responsible for taking care of that anyway.

And I will be getting Ni No Kuni for sure someday, not day 1 just because I can't afford to. (I didn't buy any of those other games with my own money, my dad let me as a xmas gift get those). Pretty generous isn't he, sometimes.

Now, what's this?
