The Power of Persona

Since Pesona games are selling like hot cake, Atlus has decided to use the brand name to other avenues. Now there are Manga, Anime, Toys, and even a planned upcoming Massive Multiplayer Online. This will surely increase thier brand recognition to those non-gamer consumers.

Arcana Heart: First Impressions

Today I manage to try a fighting game called Arcana Heart. Since I need to fill up my post, so this just a first hand impression not a detail review. This is an all girl fighting game which is a first for me and no i did not buy this becoz of that( but than again, a little eye candy wouldnt hurt rite :D~~). I can say is that this fighting game is quite techincal and customizable. When choosing your fighter, you'll also choose your arcana, so that you can summon thier powers. The animation is fluid and those who are familiar with fighting games will feel right at home. I'll reserve this game for my semester holiday PWNNN!!!!!

How dare you touch my baby!!!!

Below are the intro for the game( why all the girls are blushing???)

Persona 4: Can it live up to the name??

Hello,

Now I would like to introduce you to the all new Persona 4 for PS2. This game is the true testament that PS2 is like alive even better than PS3. The question now would this game be as good as the pervious game (Persona 3). Lets find out.

First, lets talk about gamplay. The core gameplay is almost the same but now you can control other NPC beside the protagonist but it still game over even tough you’re the only one who dies. The new feature is the allies help. If your relationship with your allies increase, this will unlock thing such a special attack, take a blow for you and even cure status like dizzy. The best part of the game for me is the bosses. They are all very unique and I’m not gonna spoil it for those who still haven’t play the game (Why?? Go buy one NOW!). The Story is about you and your friend trying to solve a murder spree in a small town. Thing like school still retain with some minor enhancement.

Verdict: I can say that Persona 4 is better than Persona 3. why?? First of all the story is not the typical save the world but investigating crimes which for me is quite a new experience. Second of all the story is more emotionally charge compare to the previous one. Over the course of the game you will see your friend’s weakness and problems like teen angst, puppy love, jealousy, even gender identity which rarely discuss in a game. When you get to know all this you feel a certain connection to them and this is where persona 4 shine the most

In conclusion, I cannot stress this than to buy this game immediately for those who have PS2.

Here are example of gameplay, DON.....!!

My Gaming Preferance

Today I just have a thought about games and wonder what makes the games good or bad. Well its mostly boils down to personal preference and surely I categorize it according to priority.

Gameplay
As the saying goes ‘gameplay is king’ is the same as my preference. Solid gameplay mechanics from as simple as Mario, to complex games can make the game enjoyable. When I play, I can to feel the challenge and the achievement mean something.

Storyline
A good storyline and plot can make or break a game especially RPG. A good story can make you feel paying 11 hours like a breeze just like reading a good book or watching a good movie. Some games for me pull me just because the story alone even though the graphics a bad.

Graphics
For me graphics of a game is just eye candy. A up to date graphics doesn’t mean the game is superb.


Music
I’m quite a sentimental guy. Music at time pump me up or move me to tears. That’s why for me a good music is a great companion for a great game. Braid is good example, such wonderful music

Well that my preference. In the end individual taste differs. Some prefer solid gameplay, others prefer good graphics. There no right and wrong answer. Well then, I’m off to class
