Virtues Last Reward...Virtue is a dick
After seeing Cass playing the prequel to this game I was quite intrigued to give it a go myself, I somehow managed to completley forget that I wanted to play it until this sequel came out however so thought I would give it a go.
During the first few hours of gameplay I was thinking that I was heading into some crazy horror 'Saw' kind of scenario, this facade kept up for quite a while until you realize there is some timey wimey kind of stuff happening and it turns out what you thought was an insane rabbit set on murder is actually an elaborate scheme to save the world.
So there's a crazy pink hippy rabbit trapping nine people in an abandoned facility and they have to escape rooms and be badass at game theory and basically get nine points to escape. Once the escape hatch opens though everyone else is trapped indefinatley. This rabbit loves the number nine...like weird....
You have the basic protagonist male, Sigma...student...bit of alright....lets be friends and save everyone..and also the main female protagonist, Phi...bit of alright and moody (because that 'I'm gonna kick you in the balls if you speak to me' kind of look is what all the guys want nowadays apparently. There's Alice the bitch dressed as an egyptian prostitute, Clover the ditsy sidekick, Dio the 'circus ringleader' who I must admit is an absolute knobhead, Tetsu...someone...grumpy oldman, Quark the annoying brat, Luna the charming nurse and K the mystery armor man, who is actually pretty awesome in this line up. Surprisingly the game was actually pretty good, even with this mass of utterly balls characters, I guess they worked in a team dynamic.
Overall nice escape the room game that got me thinking and took up a surprising amount of time. If I have to see any more electronic doors open and me travelling as a little dot on a map again, I think I might throw my DS in the canal though...

Will Mr. Jeremey ever find love?
6 months after the initial lend date and 65hours of playtime and I have finally completed Persona. Got to say I am feeling the Squenix love at the moment. I am now eager to get playing Persona 3! Considering I usually get a bit bored of the standard dungeon crawler I have to day this was awesome. Repetitive dungeon crawling was broken up with part time jobs, social links, education etc. And after some false endings I think I finally managed to get the ending I deserved after all that grinding :D
Awesome soundtrack and very replayable I recommend to anyone who loves a good story based RPG. This is one of those games with a lot of fan fiction going around about the suitable love interests for each character. In my opinion I have gone for a Rise-Teddie approach, classic Yosuke-Chie, Yukiko gets no-one(I don't like her), Mr Jeremey and hopefully a character from P3 and Kanji-Naoto. Favourite characters have to be Naoto and Kanji as the nice quirky comic relief, but also got a soft spot for Teddie. Dojima is a boss and the magical healing fox in an apron is super cute! The story concept for this game is so out there (yet awesome) I am seriously wondering how the hell someone came up with it.
BEST SOUNDTRACK EVER!

Pokemon X!
This new pokemon game is the best yet, no doubt about it! I'm even impressed with all the new pokemon models(although I still kind find it in my heart to allow klefki into my party) and it's been a nice refresh to see all the classics in 3D as well.
So I set out from my moms house again for another adventure, when someone decides 'hey, you look like a a Pokemon trainer, I'm giving one away so you can choose which one you want.' And after careful consideration and a sneaky peaky at the final evolution(not having another Oshawott incident here) I decide on Froakie! I also make the decision that although old generation Pokemon are available from the start I'm only having noobs in my team, this shortly goes out the window when I get a free bulbasaur and lapras.....still no tangela :(. I haven't learnt any new pokemons names as I constantly rename them (feel the power of bruce!)...Bruce rules.
I love the new EV training system and amie screen, as well as berry growing and easier grinding. This makes my dream of having ALL pokemon at lv100 a little more realistic, yet still improbable.
My so called friends in this game are huge douches that literally come up to me at the start and not knowing me at all, say that we are besties now...:/ I really would like Bruce to flamethrower them in the face. Damn you Sharn....whatever your name is!
Like mentioned before EV training is fast and easy in this game and I can even get all my old Pokemon up to scratch with reset bags. My tangrowth will win a fight one day!
I'm still waiting on my dratini and tangela to appear but as I'm already at the elite four my hopes are simply dashed. I have caught my legendary X pokemon, the easiest catch of a legendary in history, and am now just exploring all the optional parts as I kind of sped through the story. I've got my perfect outfit, although apparently not classy enough for the snobs in lumoise city and I am going to wonder trade and friend safari it up to see what goodies I can get :D

It's Reyn time!
So finally finished Xenoblade Chronicles and I must say this is the largest, biggest most epic RPG I've played. The story is in depth and the character development is brilliant. In my opinion it isn't one of the most interesting stories I've played in my RPG experiences, although, there are enough twists to keep you want to progressing. The British voice acting is very much a matter of opinion, a friend said it was one of the worst he had come across whereas Hubby loved the cockney accents. Personally I got use to the voices and kind of liked the fact that they were accents from jolly old Britain!
The story is based on two giant robot kind of guys, frozen in battle...apparently gods, and your just a little man that lives on his foot, not like clinging on, the Mechonis and Bionis are huge and have working ecosystems. The Mechon guys attack the Humans and cue giant adventure of revenge and intrigue.
The leading man in this story is Shulk, a quiet science guy more at home in his lab then swinging a sword.Not my cup of tea for a leading man but character development insured he didn't fail to have some bad ass moments. Reyn is a clumsy guy who is good at being the tank, he has more muscles then brains but in a loveable way. He is probably one of my faves out the lot. Sharla grated on me quite a bit and until the very end seemed to be oblivious to Reyn's love for her. Between Gadoit and Juju she didn't seem to have much of her own personality. More annoying then Sharla was Fiora but only in human form, she is such a dick at the very start and then end of the game. I'm surprised they went through turning her into one of the most rocking awesome fighters into that whingy girl again. She had first dibs on Shulk and lost them to Melia! Then she swans back in to steal him away, poor Melia. Melia is the typical magic girl of the group. I liked her and Shulk together, bit gutting when it was taken away. She had one of the best character development story-lines and I felt the most emotion for the character. Dunban is badass, the end. Rikki started annoying but somehow I turned out liking his humour quite a lot.
The game took me 85 hours to complete and I finished at level 82, so if you are looking for a quick RPG to blast through at the weekend then this is not the game for you....I think I started this game in May or June.
My fave thing in a game is sidequests and so was pleasantly surprised when I had too many! Seriously they were everywhere. Think I must have done over 200 of them but they were all good fun. The visuals in this game are epic and although the close up character models are a bit old school the endless scenery is beautiful.
This is one of the biggest games I have played that is not a MMO and so it is a good game to get your teeth into if you are waiting for the next monolith game.
