On the 8th entry of Digital Gaming News, A euro game retailer denies PSPgo on their house, Square-Enix gives out two surprises, a top guy in Microsoft under Xbox division goes buh-bye and Uncharted 2 gets tweetin.<br />

Nedgame not to sell PSPgo</p>
<p>October is fast approaching and shops are starting to put their investments on Sony&#8217;s newest portable console known as PSPgo. Sadly one shop that goes by the name NedGame has decided not to put the said item up in their racks. Apparently, the shop justifies their action by pointing out PSPgo&#8217;s huge pitfalls such as it&#8217;s LCD size, lack of a UMD Drive and it&#8217;s price difference towards the PSP3000 which is €80 higher. Nedgame also mentioned its discomfort at Sony creating a monopoly on the software sold on PSPgo.</p>
<p>PSPgo is the newest portable gaming system of Sony which will hit the stores racks come the first week of October for US and Europe parts of the world. The said item has a 16GB built-in memory space and is extendable. The said item sadly does not have a UMD slot and requires users to download the games via the PSN Shop. The debate on that matter is still at hand as shop owners/retailers are in a huge pinch as they will not incur revenue for the games since it will require the owners of PSPgo to obtain and pay for their games directly to Sony.</p>

Final Fantasy XIII introduces Serah Farron</p>
<p>One of the most highly anticipated games that Square-Enix is to publish gets more anticipation as they introduce a new character known as &#8220;Serah Farron&#8221; (セラ・ファ ロン,). According to various sources and Shonen Jump, Serah Farron plays the role of Lightning&#8217;s sister who has a relationship with Snow who later teams up with Lightning to save Serah during the entire course of the story. She also shares the same mark that Lightning has which is known as &#8220;l&#8217;Cie&#8221; though her mark resides on the left side. On an interesting note, Serah&#8217;s outfit seem to somewhat resemble the school uniform of the popular ero-game &#8220;Bible Black&#8221;. Anyhow, the addition of Serah as well as other characters which are yet to be named made this particular FF release receive a huge amount of anticipation in addition to what it already has.</p>

Uncharted 2 gets Twitter functionality</p>
<p>You read that right! Naughty Dog&#8217;s Uncharted 2 has a twitter functionality in their release which has the capability to tweet your current progress in the said game. The said option is nice to hear but the downside of this will be a huge flood of Uncharted 2 on your twitter if you have a friend who plays it a lot. The option however can be turned off and i do wish people will turn it off so that they would not be bothered to read more nonsense items on their tweet list.</p>
<p align="center">~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p>Star Ocean 4 hits the PS3</p>
<p>Despite the labeled &#8220;exclusivity&#8221; of the title &#8220;Star Ocean&#8221; on the Xbox. The said game will have it&#8217;s fourth installment on the PS3 and will leave Xbox360 for the flies. An information leak notes that &#8220;Star Ocean 4: The last Hope International&#8221; is scheduled for release come February of 2010 and is for the PS3. Square-Enix is definitely showing Microsoft that they are just following the trend and which is to release games on Sony&#8217;s console.</p>

<p>Shane Kim bids goodbye to Microsoft</p>
<p>Xbox Vice President for Strategy and business development Shane Kim is retiring after 19 years of service with Microsoft. Apparently Kim plans to make his exit by the end of the year as soon as the handing over of the position is complete. Kim was head of Microsoft Game Studios until last year, when he took the strategy job and Phil Spencer, the studio&#8217;s European manager, became studio boss.. With Kim&#8217;s leaving, Phil Spencer is being promoted from general manager to vice president. The Xbox group is also creating a new chief operating officer position that&#8217;s being filled by its current chief financial officer, Dennis Durkin. He&#8217;ll take on operating roles, handling things like pricing strategy, as well as business development such as forming new content partnerships. With his retirement nearing, Kim plans to make up for the lost time with his family and friends for he has already dedicated 2 decades worth of service to Microsoft.</p>

<p>Thanks to the PlayStation 3 version of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_Vesperia">Tales of Vesperia</a> being announced a day or two after I bought my Xbox 360, I&#8217;ve only used it to play some shooters, primarily <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikaruga">Ikaruga</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triggerheart_Exelica">Triggerheart Exelica</a>. Thanks to the the Xbox 360 being region locked, the only disc based game I own for the console is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Ocean:_The_Last_Hope">Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope</a>. Thanks to my being distracted by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XII">Final Fantasy XII</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odin_Sphere">Odin Sphere</a>, both of which I&#8217;ve yet to finish, I never passed the ten hour mark in Star Ocean 4.</p>
<p>Honestly, I won&#8217;t lose anything by asking my mother to gift me the <a href="http://release.square-enix.com/na/2009/09/16.html">PlayStation 3 version of the game</a>, especially given that it&#8217;ll be released just before my birthday. Regardless of which version I play, I&#8217;d have to check the tutorial to relearn how to fight anyways.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>So earlier this evening I finished my 2nd play through of Star Ocean: The Last Hope and that alone will tell you just how thoroughly I enjoyed this title JRPG title, the two biggest aspect of the game that did it for me was the brilliant characters and how you got to know them on a personal level through their interactions with each other. And the 2nd aspect would be the story, a brilliant mix of fantasy, mythology, lore and a good dose of outer space adventure. I can highly recommend this to any Xbox 360 out there, who is looking for a solid JRPG title for their 360. And any game were you can spend more than 80 hours playing is money well worth spent in my book. Though I am a bit sad to have finished it but now I am looking forward to Tales of Vesperia, farewell Star Ocean 4 it was a blast!</p>

Es un reloj que hay en el parque que rodea a la casa del siglo XIX que hoy por hoy es el cibercentro de la calle de la Lila. Es muy bonito, la verdad es que es un rinconcillo fuera de las calles turísticas típicas de lo más encantador.</p>
<p>Para matar el tiempo y no volver a dejar morir el blog porque no tengo nada que contar, os comento un poco a qué estoy jugando actualmente. Son tres juegos, tres RPGs japoneses: Persona 4 (PS2), Star Ocean 4 (x360) y Tales of Vesperia (x360).</p>
<p><div id="attachment_306" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 115px"><a href="http://zareshblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/02.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-306  " style="border:1px solid black;margin:2px;" title="Persona 4" src="http://zareshblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/02.jpg?w=105" alt="Persona 4" width="105" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Persona 4</p></div>
<p>El <strong>Persona 4</strong> es un RPG japonés que cuenta la historia de un chico, el héroe anónimo y mudo clásico, que se traslada al pueblo de su tío durante un curso entero y se dedica a resolver con su pandilla de amigos las misteriosas muertes y desapariciones que están acaeciendo allí. La trama está muy bien hilada y cumple muchísimos de los elementos de las novelas de detectives más clásicas. Y visualmente, aunque no es una maravilla gráfica, es de lo más resultón por el estilo artístico retro y colorista que se marca. De música está muy chulo, y está bastante vien doblado al inglés. Basa su mecánica en dos vertientes: el día a día de un estudiante de instituto medio japonés, que ha de realizar tareas de clase, trabaja a tiempio parcial y, sobre todo, evoluciona en sus relaciones con quienes le rodean (es un poco una Visual Novel o un juego de citas en este sentido), y por otro lado la vertiente más puramente jrpg de batallas y stats y magias en unas mazmorras temáticas a las que se accede por las tardes y en donde se puede usar a los personae que dan nombre al juego para luchar contra las fuerzas del mal <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> . <strong>Está muy bien, se lo recomiendo a todo el mundo, sobre todo a los que no sean de jugar a los clásicos JRPGs de toda la vida pero adoran las novelas de detectives.</strong></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 164px"><img style="border:1px solid black;margin:2px;" title="Star Ocean 4" src="http://i.neoseeker.com/boxshots/R2FtZXMvWGJveF8zNjAvUm9sZS1QbGF5aW5nL1NjaS1GaQ==/star_ocean_the_last_hope_frontcover_large_c367PnpuQJ7bax8.jpg" alt="" width="154" height="216" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Star Ocean 4</p></div>
<p>El <strong>Star Ocean 4</strong> es un JRPG más clásico en su desarrollo que mezcla elementos de ciencia ficción muy a lo Star Trek con elementos más puramente fantásticos. La originalidad de los Star Ocean, igual que pasa con los Tales of, es que sus sistemas de batalla se basan en un simulador de lucha. Vamos, que a efectos prácticos los combates son como jugar en una recreativa a un juego de lucha, con combos y ataques especiales, pero con el añadido de que se pueden usar items de curación y demás o magias vía menú de batalla (que pausa el juego) o apretando botones predeterminados. De historia está psé (es algo típica, pero el problema es que ni los personajes dan mucho de sí porque son demasiado planos, ni las conversaciones y escenas son especialmente inspiradoras porque están escritas y ejecutadas de pena). En lo visual es llamativo hasta cierto punto porque las texturas y los modelados están de puta madre, pero a los personajes les falta muchísima expresividad y sus movimientos son muy toscos y artificiales, y la incidencia de la luz sobre los escenarios muchas veces está mal medida. La música no destaca demasiado y el doblaje inglés está un poco sobre actuado (o a la inversa según qué personajes). Donde sí da mucho de si es en la jugabilidad porque es fácil cogerle el punto al sistema de atalla y además tiene bastante vida con el tema de la creación y sintetización de objetos, las misiones y otros extras. Y esta vez aunque el tutorial de batalla vuelve a ser un coñazo y un lio, al menos no tardas nada en entrar en combate real y comprobar que todo es mucho más fácil en realidad. <strong>En fin, que pese a lo mal escrito que está (que lo está y mucho), es un juego entretenido que puede gustar a mucha gente.</strong></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 158px"><img style="border:1px solid black;margin:2px;" title="Tales of Vesperia" src="http://i.neoseeker.com/boxshots/R2FtZXMvWGJveF8zNjAvUm9sZS1QbGF5aW5nL0ZhbnRhc3k=/tales_of_vesperia_frontcover_large_5Dd7uGJdwcRzhMs.jpg" alt="" width="148" height="210" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Tales of Vesperia</p></div>
<p>Por último, el <strong>Tales of Vesperia</strong>, otro JRPG con un sistema de batalla muy al estilo de una recreativa de lucha. Este juego consigue funcionar en todos los puntos en los que falla el SO4. La historia, aunque también es muy clásica, está muy bien escrita y ejecutada en la práctica, aunque durante las primeras horas no puedes evitar pensar que te estás limitando a dar vueltas por ahí de manera totalmente aleatoria porque ése es uno de los pocos &#8220;peros&#8221; que tiene el juego: tarda un rato largo en arrancar. Los personajes están muy bien definidos, tienen una lógica de actuación y de pensamiento y no resultan planos. De hecho he de confesar que tengo debilidad por dos de ellos: Yuri, el protagonista, que me recuerda muchísimo a Mal Reynolds (todo un antihéroe, el &#8220;protagonista&#8221; de FireFly) y Raven, un sinvergüenza pervertido y con cierto aura misterioso que está en todas partes y en ninguna. Hasta la princesita de pelo rosa y el crio miedica me caen bien porque te ries mucho con ellos y las que les lían los otros personajes. Y a que te caigan simpáticos y calen en el jugador ayudan mucho las secuencias secundarias que se pueden accionar en medio del juego y te cuentan cosas de lo más variado sobre los personajes o te revelan lo que están pensando en ese momento al respecto de algún asunto. De apartado visual va bien: un cell-shading bien hecho, muy colorido y bonito, cargas rápidas de escenarios, variedad de paisajes y expresividad de los personajes. Es más típico, tiene un aire a los JRPGs de la play y eso me gusta mucho. En el SO4 no me llamaba demasiado la atención la música, pero en el Vesperia a veces me he quedado tarareando alguna melodía. Tiene sus fallos, claro. A parte de que tarda en arrancar, el sistema de combate al principio es demasiado simple y un poco engorroso a pesar de parecerse en lo básico al de otros Tales Of o los primeros Star Ocean: pero por suerte según avanzas en el juego la cosa se va diversificando con montones de ataques y movimientos especiales que le dan mucha vida al juego y para esas alturas ya has pillado más o menos cómo se lucha en condiciones (sin machacar los botones sin más, cosa que no funciona). <strong>A mí me está gustando mucho por lo que llevo jugado, así que también os lo recomiendo sin dudarlo.</strong></p>
<p>Y eso es todo. Por cierto, he añadido algún que otro enlace nuevo a los &#8220;sitios interesantes&#8221; y estoy pensando en cambiar la cabecera. Nada más por el momento.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-371" title="banner_starocean4disc2" src="http://magmaton.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/banner_starocean4disc2.jpg" alt="banner_starocean4disc2" width="636" height="87" />Am kommenden Freitag dem 5.6. erscheint endlich der 4. Teil von SquareEnix und tri-Ace Star Ocean Saga in Deutschland. Dazu hier mal meine kurzen Anmerkungen: WOW!<br />
Ich konnte mir schon einen Eindruck der deutschen Version machen und bin wirklich positiv überrascht. Vom Spiel selbt, als auch von der Lokalisierung. Zwar müssen deutschsprachige RPGler auf Sprachausgabe ihrer Landessprache verzichten, aber doch ist der deutsche Text sehr gelungen. Auch die Grafik hab mich beeindruckt. So müssen Texturen auf der aktuellen Generation aussehen. Gestochen scharf und abwechslungsreich.<br />
Die Kämpfe laufen in Echtzeit (und nicht son Pseudorealtime wie noch in FF12) ab und lassen sich mit Kampfkombos vervollständigen, die im Laufe des Spieles immer mächtiger werden (klar, sonst wär es kein RPG *g*). Ich bin derzeit auf Disc 2 von 3 angelangt und habe erst rund 21Stunden Spielzeit verbracht. Zu sagen ist aber, dass ich die Nebenquests erst einmal ausgeschlossen habe, sonst kämen noch einige Stunden dazu.</p>
<p><a href="http://magmaton.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/starocean4_bunny.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-372" title="starocean4_bunny" src="http://magmaton.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/starocean4_bunny.jpg?w=150" alt="starocean4_bunny" width="150" height="112" /></a>Ein definitiver Pflichtkauf für alle Japano Rollenspielbegeisterten wie mich. Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope ist sein Geld locker wert ist, und auch Metal Gear Solid 4 vom Thron des Spielfilmes verdrängt. Also wenn ihr eine Xbox360 habt und Zeit habt gibt es ab Freitag nur noch ein Spiel in eurer Konsole: Star Ocean 4.</p>
<p>PS: Es gibt zwar keine Chocobos, aber Bunnies&#8230;äh..Hoppler.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;ve been wrong about a lot things about this generation.  For one, I always thought the PS3 would eventually gain momentum and beat the Xbox 360. I was wrong there and I can understand why it happened. I couldn&#8217;t imagine the Xbox 360 getting JRPG exclusives, simply because the target demographic (ie. Japanese people) didn&#8217;t even have significant fraction of the install base of the PS3. I was wrong there too, but I still cant understand why. Well, maybe the difference just seems so much more apparent because of the total lack of console JRPGs on the market right now. (Although Star Ocean and Tales of Vesperia are pretty significant exclusives). Where are all the Atlus and Level 5 games we&#8217;ve become accustomed to in the previous generation? Atlus released Persona 4 on the PS2 again and it doesn&#8217;t look like anything is coming in near future and Level 5 looks like its only interested in handhelds&#8230;</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://myndjacked.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/auron-2.jpg"><img style="display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;border-width:0;" title="Auron_2" src="http://myndjacked.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/auron-2-thumb.jpg?w=173&#038;h=244" border="0" alt="Auron_2" width="173" height="244" /></a> <strong>WHERE ARE MY JRPGS???</strong></p>
<p>In some ways, the current dearth of JRPGs is a good thing.  For one thing, the genre has been getting stale (with notable exceptions) and I think developers in Japan in light of the serious recession they are facing are in the process of rethinking their franchises.  For another thing, there are a ton of PS2 RPGs I just never got around to playing, so while wating for the JRPG savior (yeah I&#8217;m looking at you FFXIII) I&#8217;ve started a marathon of JRPG playing for the summer vacation.</p>
<p>The first game on my list is Rogue Galaxy. I just started it last night, and it seems good enough. The battle system is nice, and the battles are unexpectedly tough, but not irritatingly so. I suppose having save points almost everywhere helps quite a bit. Anyway, I&#8217;ve only scratched the surface of this game and I&#8217;ll give a full review when I&#8217;ve finished with it.</p>

<p>After the movie we went to blk 515&#8217;s coffeeshop and have a light supper, took some peektures with my new phone:</p>

<p>Recently was playing Star Ocean 4, and i just completed a part where i fucking hate the Main char (Edge). I swear i didn&#8217;t hate a game char THIS much before in my life. Such a wuss man. FUCKING PUSSY! If you guys play it, i guarantee you will be so pissed at him that u feel like slapping him on the face.</p>
<p>Well let&#8217;s see how it goes in SO4, so far the gameplay is the best JRPG gameplay expereience i had in this generation, but the story is kinda slow paced&#8230;but still the best JRPG game i had played so far this generation. 60 fps in battle is awesome <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p><strong><em>Nom</em></strong><em>: Star Ocean: The Last Hope</em></p>
<p><em><em><strong>Genre</strong> : RPG</em></em></p>
<p><strong><em>Format</em></strong><em>: Xbox 360 ver. Asia</em></p>
<p><strong><em>Temps passé</em></strong><em>: Peut-être 50 heures, à vérifier :p</em></p>
<p><strong><em>Status</em></strong><em>: Histoire complétée, un peu avancé dans les quêtes annexes</em></p>
<p><strong><em>Collection</em></strong><em>: Oui</em></p>
<p>Là encore un rpg que j&#8217;ai beaucoup apprécié. Le système de combat est, je trouve, un peu simplifié par rapport au 3, mais les combats sont vraiment bien plus bourrins, et ça c&#8217;est bon ! J&#8217;ai notamment vraiment apprécié la découverte de chaque nouveau monde, avec ce mélange de science-fiction.<br />
Excellent ! J&#8217;ai adoré.</p>
<p><strong>Note/Appréciation</strong>: 93/100</p>

Si, certo, è uscito l&#8217;ottimo RTS <strong>Halo Wars</strong>, uscirà a breve <strong>Ninja Blade</strong> e, a seguire, <strong>Star Ocean 4</strong>, ma si ha comunque la sensazione che i grossi nomi latitino. La situazione è destinata a cambiare? Il capo divisione della sezione <em>Gaming&#38;Entertaiment </em>di <em><strong>Microsoft UK</strong></em> <em>Stephen McGill</em>, oggi, ha risposto così.<!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Intervistato da<a href="http://www.videogamer.com/news/ms_gaming_chief_on_xbox_in_2009.html"> videogamer.com </a>McGill, alla precisa domanda sul dubbio se arriveranno o meno nuovi annunci di esclusive nel 2009, ha così replicato:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;<em>Sì e sì! La parola esclusiva è un termine curioso. Non vengono resi esclusivi i giochi con contenuti scaricabili esclusivi? In molti casi si direbbe di &#8220;sì&#8221;. Abbiamo giochi esclusivi che non sono stati ancora annunciati? Anche in questo caso la risposta è positiva. Ovviamente già conoscete alcuni dei giochi che verranno prodotti dai nostri studi e altri sviluppati dalla terze parti. Ma sono abbastanza sicuro che non conoscete tutti i giochi che arriveranno, sia da noi che dalle terze parti. Speriamo vivamente i sorprendere la gente, siamo davvero sicuri del nostro catalogo di prodotti per il 2009 e oltre. Parlando del 2009, ci sentiamo molto tranquilli per l&#8217;Estate e il Natale.</em>&#8220;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ad una  domanda su <strong>Alan Wake</strong>, <em>McGill </em>ha risposto con un diplomatico &#8220;<em>E&#8217; in pieno sviluppo, ma non posso dirvi di più. Quando gli sviluppatori saranno pronti per parlarne, lo faranno</em>&#8220;.</p>

<p><strong>Star Ocean : The Last Hope &#8211; Gameplay Reviews<br />
</strong>Star Ocean: The Last Hope is a role-playing game with real-time combo-based combat. Ten years ago, that would have been a huge badge of honor. These days, real-time combat in an RPG is pretty old-hat. And to be fair, the way in which The Last Hope implements the combat system is fairly archaic in its own right. When you run across the field, you encounter monsters. Once you encounter monsters, you leave the field and transition to a special combat-arena: a small enclosed space (generally only one per area). After you load the fight, the game&#8217;s camera will zoom in on each enemy individually. Ostensibly this would happen to alert the player to the type of enemies he or she will be fighting, so the player can plan accordingly… only there&#8217;s really not a lot of room to plan in an action-RPG. Frequently, you will be spending more time waiting for combat-areas to load and the camera to display each enemy than you will actually fighting those enemies. And once you win, you must endure the typical post-victory fanfare—all of which consumes just a little bit more time than it ought to, and quickly becomes no more than an annoyance.</p>
<p>The combat itself is fast-paced and fun, though there are a few things I didn&#8217;t care for with the basic mechanics and controls. Fortunately, all of the buttons can be assigned to different commands, so most issues are easy to resolve. You can directly control any of the party-members, almost all of which are fun (and effective) to use, and can switch between them mid-battle with ease. Combos can be built up with normal attacks, special attacks and various symbolic (read: magic) techniques, and can be quite rewarding depending on how much time you invest. The addition of several other elements—rush mode and and blindsiding—make combat a whole lot of fun. Though, admittedly, at the easier difficulties most battles entail little more than tapping the attack button and waiting for everything to die.</p>
<p>Similar to the other big science-fiction epic role-playing game on the Xbox 360, Mass Effect, The Last Hope gives the player a galaxy map and several different planets to explore. The number of locations you can visit is rather limited, though each planet has a unique “identity” to it, but each area is very large with tons of areas to explore–and rest assured, you will be revisiting planets plenty of times, finding new treasures and toppling new foes.</p>

<p>STAR OCEAN: THE LAST HOPE continues the franchise&#8217;s soaring space opera, blending science fiction with fantasy for a unique RPG experience. The refined gameplay features four party members and team-oriented combat, while maintaining the innovative real-time battle system that has become a trademark of the STAR OCEAN franchise. The year is S.D. 10. In the aftermath of World War III, humanity voyages into the stars in search of a new home &#8211; and a second chance.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Yay bought Killzone 2 and Star Ocean 4 yesterday, Killzone 2 at $72 and Star Ocean 4 at $70 at Gamescore. With the membership of course. Got a free Killzone 2 poster and a free Star Ocean &#8220;Sound Best Collection&#8221; Music CD.</p>
<p>Peektures!</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://espadakiller.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/img_1980.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;width:320px;height:214px;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://espadakiller.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/img_1980.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-weight:bold;">Killzone 2 and Star Ocean: The Last Hope</span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://espadakiller.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/img_1988.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;width:214px;height:320px;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://espadakiller.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/img_1988.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-weight:bold;">The free Killzone 2 Poster, gotta put those items at the sides cause got rolled up for a pretty long time, when i reached home i never bother rolling it out cause too busy playing my games <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>
<div style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://espadakiller.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/img_1986.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;width:320px;height:214px;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://espadakiller.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/img_1986.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Music CD, front</span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://espadakiller.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/img_1987.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;width:320px;height:214px;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://espadakiller.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/img_1987.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-weight:bold;">And Back</span></p>
<div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#ff0000;">Warning! This will take long. </span></p>
<blockquote><p>When i reached home, i straight away on my PS3, put in my Killzone 2 disc, and started playing it straight away. Didn&#8217;t stop till i completed the game (actually for awhile, rest for a few mins and went to shower, but that&#8217;s about it lol). Total time taken is around 5 hours i think, didn&#8217;t check th<span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-style:italic;"> </span></span>e statistics yet, yes it&#8217;s that detail, you can check how many times you died, how many Helghast you killed, how many Helghast you killed using a single clip, how many max number of Helghast you have killed using a grenade, total time taken, bla bla bla <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Graphics is breathtaking, gameplay is awesome, and story is awesome as well. The last stage is intense! Most intense FPS game i had ever played. Everybody is shooting you, the sky is red, and no lag plus many many Helghast, which won&#8217;t give up, go near to them and they take out a knife and try to stab you with it. Pretty awesome <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The online multiplayer is fun too, with a mode called warzone, where inputs all of the gameplay together, like body count(see which team kill the most), capture the area(which is actually flag, but not in this game), etc etc. Really fun and engaging, with no lag or little lag. Playing in EU servers and it&#8217;s all good ^_^</p></blockquote>
<p>Oh well after completed Killzone 2, rest for awhile again, and tried out Star Ocean 4. It&#8217;s amazing as well! Just started playing the game for awhile and i am so totally in love with it already. I can see this will be the best this gen JRPG game i had played for now! Graphics is breathtaking as well.</p>
<div style="text-align:left;">
<p>Only took 1 pic though:</p>
<p><a href="http://espadakiller.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/img_1977.jpg"><img style="display:block;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;width:320px;height:214px;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://espadakiller.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/img_1977.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Beautiful! &#60;3</p>
<p>Anyway, this week i am so gonna be not free, gonna play till i am bored then i will stop playing it lolololol. Most likely will keep playing Killzone 2 online though, i still haven&#8217;t unlock those classes yet, can&#8217;t wait to unlock them like what i did in the beta <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Okay time to sleep! It&#8217;s 8am now holy balls &#62;&#60;</p></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Aujourd&#8217;hui, un RPG et un shoot&#8217;em up. Miam.<br />
<img alt="" src="http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/7914/starocean4boxart.jpg" class="aligncenter" width="252" height="355" /><br />
<strong>Star Ocean 4</strong> : RPG premier ! J&#8217;ai pas hésité longtemps à le commander celui-là. Commandé en version Asia<br />
pour avoir les textes en anglais. Attention, pas free-zone.<br />
<img alt="" src="http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/8113/raidenivxbox360japr7363.jpg" class="aligncenter" width="354" height="500" /><br />
<strong>Raiden IV</strong> : Un shoot&#8217;em up qui est sorti il y a quelques temps déjà. Pas spécialement fan des Raiden, mais c&#8217;est quand même bien sympa ! Une partie de temps en temps, ça fait pas de mal. Le jeu est vendu avec l&#8217;OST, et les musiques de ce jeu  ne sont pas mauvaises, et sont donc tolérables, à l&#8217;inverse des anciens Raiden. Mais bon, en même temps, c&#8217;était pas bien dur de faire plus tolérable <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Les deux images ne sont pas de la même taille? C&#8217;est pas beau?? Flemme de redimensionner, quand tu nous tiens&#8230;</p>
