Crisis Core

Got to love good guy Sephiroth! <3 I think so highly of this FF7 prequel as it fits in so well with the story of its sequel. At no point am I thinking 'well wut?' The numerous character cameos fit in perfectly and I saw a mention to the majority of characters from the franchise. Also Zack Fair is one of my favorite final fantasy character ever and is certainly in the top 5. Zack and Aerith belong together so I'm kind of glad they end up that way (and also increasingly saddened!) The end of this game gets me every time even though I know whats going to happen! Genesis is probably the weak point in this game, as the main antagonist his constant verbal diarrhea of the play Loveless makes me want to skip text (not a good thing in a game). I guess he has to be comparable to my silver haired Lothario though and that is not a fight you're gonna win. The vast amount of optional extra missions means I STILL haven't finished this game 100% (after about 4 completions) but the repetitiveness of these missions makes it quite a tedious task after a while. Still this game wins the award for SADDEST DEATH EVER! Like seriously sadder then Mufasa, and Bambi's mum.....I hate you squenix....Wow squenix you really aren't in my good books at the moment are you...

Mirrors Edge

Due to my undisputed satisfaction of gliding down ziplines in Farcry 3 and Tomb Raider I thought this game would be right up my ally. Unfortunately due to its confusion of whether it wanted to be a shooter or a free running game it didn't quite hit home. In fact I could feel the torrents of geek rage trying to be unleashed as I fell to my death...a lot. The tutorial gives you a brief combat run through in case you need it and then spends a long time showing you all the moves of free running, but towards the end of the game combat is a necessity and with the little practice I had, found it quite difficult. There was also one bastard move where you run on a wall and jump to a platform opposite that appeared about 500 times throughout the story. Without being able to do this you can't progress and most the time it required some haste in doing so. Still a good game for my free running feeling but the story felt a bit weak and I didn't really feel any connection with any of the characters. Faiths character design is pretty awesome but I don't remember anyone else except some guy named Hope...but I think that kind of stuck there from the last game I completed....meh.

Lightning Returns

I don't know why I have named this post Lightning returns as clearly the only game involving Lightning is Final Fantasy XIII. And a game I really enjoyed. Brilliant story, nice ending, everything makes sense and I have a bad ass half cape that can't be ruined with the addition of giant neon butterfly wings. But more about this awesome stand alone game when I complete it again. In fact this post is irrelevant as I am not quite sure what game I did finish...It certainly wasn't a conclusive ending to Lightning and her companions as that ALREADY HAPPENED! But it was a nice battle system and many quests....involving light, hope, god and massive neon pink swords carved from the corpses of extinct species. But where did my awesome sunglasses go!!???

Laughed for hours....

So me and hubby had a competition when we were drunk to see who could send each other the 'best internet' in the time it took 'Do you want to build a snowman' from frozen to end...it was a weird night....he won...
