Finally I get to play "Crisis Core" next week, I waited for the UK version to buy so I could get the special art book.

Just ordered this "World is Not Enough". That sound track is a killer, hopefully the game is as good.

Start your first file in Normal.

There is a New Game+ option after you beat the game, so don't feel bad about missing anything.

Whoa, as I went to Gamestop to pick up FFXII, they were having a Gameday sale.

Picked me up a fresh, new copy of Odin Sphere for my PS2 for $20. Would have costed me for $40. I heard it was good so I wanted to see for myself.

I concur, graphics are intense for a 2-D game, not to mention the fact the character sprites are hand-drawn shows they did a damn good job.

Gameplay, acts like a Hack-and-Slash, but if you jump in there trying to combo like crazy in a swarm of enemies, you're going to die. I've already died. A LOT. Leveling is simple enough, absorb enemies to level your weapon, eat food to level your HP.

Story, not too far, but I'm starting to get drawn in. Has a Norse Mythology theme, even mentions Ragnarok. Character development is getting there, you feel some sympathy for Gwendolyn. Not too much yet, but it's there.

One gripe I have is the inventory. Too small until you start buying bags later, but even then, with an old RPG mentally of having kleptomania, they REALLY start to pile up. Also, seeds! I'll just put you down here, you only need 8 phozans to grow into fruit... Look, enemies, DIE~! Yay, 1 more to go.. Wait, no more enemies?! But... okay, maybe if I go and come back to this stage, more will spaw-- where'd my plant go?!

Too many seeds, not enough phozan to go around AND level your weapon. Though I guess that's where grinding comes in...

Overall, good game. Pick it up at your local Gamestop, NEW for only $20! Offer lasts until June 22. Also, trade in your old games and recei--*Shot*

I totally forgot about Odin's Sphere!

Gah, wish it was on PSP. The PSP neds some good RPGs that aren't made by SE.

Or at the very leat, Capcom needs to take their thumb out their collective asses and release Monster hunter Freedom 2G.
