Update!

Although I'm not quite sure why, since noone's reading this anymore anyway, including myself.

Let's just say it's therapy, which, of course, works best when noone is listening to it.

First of all: I'M GETTING BLOODY SICK OF ALL THESE "WII" PUNS.
Seriously, STOP IT RIGHT NOW, all of you.

Secondly, although I've clearly expressed my dislike for FFXII in the past, I have recently picked it up again (something I hadn't expected myself to do), after purchasing one (of the two! Thanks again, Square!) FFXII Ultimania, the Scenario version to be exact, which is the (only) one I wanted.
It was 700 Yen at the local Book-off, and I still had 700 Yen worth of discount tickets, so there you go :)
Even more unexpectedly, I'm kind of enjoying it right now (I'll put that down to those Ultimania's just being so goddamn good they make EVERYTHING fun), and I've even started......*gasp*.....levelling up! I never do that.

Also, I recently bought Dirge of Cerberus for a measly 980 Yen, despite all the rather negative reviews (it averages 59% on gamerankings!). And so far, I gotta say, it's actually rather entertaining.
Kind of easy though, but definitely not bad at all.
And Vincent just rules.

Still haven't acquired FFIII for DS, much to my shame, I'll probably wait until it becomes somewhat cheaper.

I've bought plenty of games recently, most of them from the bargain basket, and I just finished Ratchett & Clank (380 Yen!) which was amusing until the last couple of levels or so. Also picked up Maximo (380 Yen) which is supposed to be entertaining.
Haven't tried it yet though.
I ALSO tried getting the secret ending in Kingdom Hearts II by clearing the Jimminy Memo notes, which is goddamn IMPOSSIBLE. Or at least an insane amount of work.
So I decided to just play through on Hard mode and get it just for finishing the game :)
Great stuff though, as usual. In fact, if you're going to play the game, just start on Hard Mode, cos it's the only way you'll get a decent challenge. The first game was MUCH harder.

Well, that's it for therapy right now. Must fly!

An update on your blog? God knows how long I have been waiting to read your reviews of games! I'm a big fan of how you write your witty comments. Please, we need more updates!!

Thanks!

To be honest, I kinda miss writing reviews, if anything it was just a good way to vent my frustration, but I've been real busy ever since I came to Japan and taking the time out to make a new entry is not at the top of my list of priorities anymore :(

Also, I've been playing so many games here I wouldn't know where to start!

Tell you what though, since it seems I can't get into my IGN account anymore for some reason, I'll update my Game List (I'll put the games I bought here in Bold typing) and if there are any review requests I might consider them ;)
