   Fantastic Addition to the Kingdom Hearts Series
First of all, let me start by saying that this is my favorite game in the Kingdom Hearts saga. It was definitely worth the wait. Being a hard core KH fan myself, I made sure to by the game the day it came out and I wasn't disappointed. I played everyday after school, unable to put the game down for longer than I had to.

Length: I completed the game in 30 hours on Standard Mode, which is a pretty average completion time for a Square title game. And as Square does with most of their games, they made sure to leave plenty of extras after the game is over to tackle if you want more. I'm currently working on unlocking the Hidden Reports.

Graphics/Sound: I have to say I'm impressed. While the majority of the game's story is spent reading (which is to be expected from a DS game), the high graphic cutscenes are absolutely stunning, easily matching those of a PS2 game. No small achievement for a DS game. The lower quality cutscenes are a bit pixely, but aren't all DS games? As far as sound goes, this will make for another unforgettable soundtrack by Square. Also the voice acting is wonderful. My only disappointment was that it was limited to the high quality cutscenes and simple `hahas', `hmms' and other similar sounds before text.

Gameplay: A tiny step down from KH II, it was still fun and the KH style carried surprisingly well over to the DS. I'll admit I was a bit worried that, being on another hand-held system, it might end up being a bit too much like KH CoM, which, while fun, I didn't care for the Card System. But my concern quickly faded as I got past the initial tutorial in the game.

The idea of the panel system looked a bit confusing at first, but I quickly caught on. Similar to KH II, it allows you to make shortcuts during battle to different spells and items. I've heard some complaint over the fact that you only get limited slots, but personally, I think it adds a nice challenge to the game, and it's not like the slot setup you choose is permanent; you get the opportunity to rearrange your slots before every mission.

Which brings me to the Missions. This is perfectly believable for the story the game follows. While some missions are a bit repetitive, you usually have the option to skip over them and take on the missions that are different. I'd say about 60% of missions are optional. Also, I'm sure veteran KH fans will enjoy embarking on missions with their favorite Organization XIII members. The only missions I really didn't care for were recon missions, which consisted of working your way through each world and clicking on different locations to gather info on the area.

Mission Mode: This allows you to replay previous missions that you've played in the game using any character you'd like. You start off having only the members of Organization XIII to choose as your player, but you can unlock more as you get farther into the game's story.

Story: This is the reason Days is my favorite KH game. Yes, even though the game comes with a booklet that explains what happened in previous games, and the majority of the game requires no previous KH knowledge, I think new KH players might be a bit lost. But then, it is a sequel. I'm sure anyone who jumped into the middle of the Harry Potter series would be confused as well. I, however, having played all the other KH games, followed the story easily.

There are plenty of moments where I found myself laughing out loud, but there were more moments where I found myself fighting back tears. Days is, in my opinion, the most heart wrenching addition in the KH series. Also, being a fan of Organization XIII, I had endless delight at seeing my favorite characters going about their daily routines. The story takes place shortly before, during, and after the events of Chain of Memories.

So, to quickly summarize, I'm sure previous KH fans will enjoy this newest installment to the KH story, and new KH players - though they may get a bit lost at times - will enjoy the game as well. I highly recommend this delightful game.

Customer Reviews : A series best!

    Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days is not just a PSP remake of Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories but rather a complete overhaul with new mechanics from Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice and some from Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness.

The first thing to notice is that the graphcs have been rescaled for the PSP and look amazing for it. Although the game is solely a 2D sprite affair, the environments that are in 3D as well as the rescaled intro video (with the song "Sinful Rose"), really show how perfect this series is on the PSP as apposed to the bigscreen during the PS2 days. I feel that this isnt the strongest musically with the key track being Sinful Rose, but our favorite tracks return such as the song that plays for Rosenqueen stores and the theme song to Disgaea 1. There is also Japanese vocal track and English vocal track with tons of voiced dialouge. The combination moves for team attacks look amazing as well and definitely differ from Disgaea 1 and Disgaea 3, actually they feel more powerful than in those other games. The character voices for the classes actually seem to be different than they were in the previous games. No longer does the fighter say "I'll Finish This" :(

Mechanically speaking those that have played Disgaea know what to expect. Disgaea 2 Dark Hero Days Sony PSP Game is an SRPG in which you can create more characters in different classes, level them up to level 9999, level up their items to level 100, and carry out many more numerous modifications to your hearts content. There are virtually no limits to creating the ultimate team and those who do will be heavily rewarded in the end, and endend game. Implementations from Disgaea 3 include the magichange system, in which you can move a human character and mosnter character together and get the mosnter character to transform into a weapon. You can now double magichange into a more powerful combination.

Storywise, the main story can span anywhere from 20 hours to 100 hours depending on one likes to level up their characters and enemies to get maximum experience points from them or to just rush through the standard mode and then play through the alternate storyline mode (which can actually be unlocked from the very beginning with a series of button presses). There is also promise of future DLC that will add other characters in the Disgaea storyline to this game as well for people to train, which is all forthcoming.

I found and still find Disgaea 2 to be a great entry for the Disgaea series on the PSP. My plan is to level several characters to 9999 just for the sake of trying to do billions of damage, it will be aweosme! There is no reason to not own it if this is your type of game. If you have played Disgaea 2 on the PS2 originally it is time to step up to this version, the bonuses, changes, and alternate storyline mode are worth it for this game. To get all the things that are in the beyond the end of the story mode there is tons to unlock and DLC coming our way.

Customer Reviews
Gratuitous Grindhouse Goodness :I am going to cut to the chase here...

    If you are looking for a game with a great deal of substance... Look Elsewhere. That being said, if you know anything about this game and you are still reading, you are probably in the right place.

Wet takes the best parts of your favorite John Woo, and Tarantino films and brings them to life. In the same style made famous (or in some opinions, infamous) by Max Payne, and Stranglehold. The story leaves a lot to be desired, but that isn't the point of this type of game in my humble opinion.

The controls will take you some getting used to as they feel... outdated. This works with the motif of the game though. There is a nice coat of crusty blood and seedy 70's action to be seen on everything. Even the film grain effect is a nod to 70's action films 9it can however be turned off, and the controls can be adjusted in options).

I am halfway through the game now, and the action never stops. I haven't even started the challenge modes, or working on harder difficulties, but I see myself wanting to do this. Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry, Max Payne, Stanglehold... These names will make a hardcore action gamer imagine ways to gracefully slaughter 100's of enemies in minutes, and soon enough Wet will incite the same images.

If you have played any of those games and had a good time, you should be right at home with Wet.

Graphics 4/5 Environments and ambience are great, some models could have used work. Otherwise perfect and unifmorm thus far.

Sound 5/5 Great DD and sound effects, all with a 70's film noir tinge to them. Soundtrack is excellent.

Controls 4/5 Would give them a 5, but there is an outdated feel... like stepping back in time to play Max Payne.

Gameplay 5/5 I love the bullet-time style of the game. You are rewarded for being acrobatic and slowing things down to kill mobs of badguys. If this is not your thing, avoid like the plague.

Replay 5/5? I am playing through on normal now, but as I said I see myself playing through several times to unlock the highest difficulty and play through the challenges. Will update when I have done it all.

Final thoughts.... If you are looking for a stylish action game, even if its just to kill time before other games this season, pick Wet up or at least rent it if you can spare the cash. DO NOT just take the haters opinions for gospel. It's not perfect, but what game is. Definitely a great time.

40)Valkyria Chronicles [Ps3] Reviews

Buy Valkyria Chronicles
"Best SRPG since Final Fantasy Tactics"

Story/Characters (9/10)

Playing out in a storybook fashion you will cycle through pages to select your upcoming missions and scenes. Setting the stage in the fictional world of Europa, you follow the protagonist and friends who are part of Squad 7, a small militia squad under the country of Gallia. Now the name Europa is designed to resemble Europe, as this game has a real life militaristic 'World War' feel blended with fantasy role-playing elements. Gallia is a small country that eventually gets caught up in the battle for Europa, little does Squad 7 know why.

The story has some cliches yes, but its 2009, what doesn't? Need not worry though, they are few and far between. The story is executed to almost perfection anyway that they aren't even bothersome.

The characters are simply deep and wonderful. If you ever played Skies of Arcadia and felt those characters lovable, you will love them here too! Vyse, Aika, and Fina return! Vyse and Aika come rushing back in this game as playable characters. Even Fina makes an appearance, although not playable.

You will probably fall in love with most of the story-based characters, if not all of them. Everyone in Squad 7 is just very likable. Largo screaming "VEG-TA-BLES!" in mid battle is just a small part of the laughs you will get out of these guys.

Gameplay (10/10)

Tossing away the standard SRPG grid-map placement, Valkyria Chronicles introduces something new to the genre. No more choosing tiles, you can roam anywhere once a unit is selected. Adding a twist of real time to the already turn based style, enemy units will shoot at you whilst running around the battlefield. No worries though, your units will do the same to theirs.

Now choosing to move a unit will cost Command Points (CP), which you have limited supply of. The more you move the same unit per turn, the less they can move each time, so be careful. When you have selected a unit, it will pan from the flat overhead map-view of the battlefield, to Action Mode, a third person behind the back view of that unit. From there you can move wherever you please until your movement gauge is drained or you decide to stop, as well as getting one time to attack.

As stated above, everything outside of battles and scenes is done in the storybook. Here you can recruit new members, upgrade equipment, upgrade classes, examine the glossary, etc., this is where all your management is done.

Your units consist of 5 general classes, as well as having a tank commander. The classes are as follows -

-Scouts: have the highest movement range

-Shocktroopers: general firepower, strong versus infantry

-Lancers: anti-tank units

-Engineers: they can repair your tank as well as resupply any other unit, second highest movement range

-Snipers: well, their title says it all, they nail infantry from the backlines, go for the headshots!

Now characters do not level up individually, each unit type levels up. As the unit level gets higher (MAX level of 20) each character unlocks their own unique potentials. Potentials are innate abilities each character has that can be good or bad.

All battles you complete receive a ranking at the end, A being the best. The higher your ranking, the more money and experience you will get. All the ranking depends on is how fast you complete your mission, meaning the least amount of turns the better. In most people's opinion this is VC's weakest spot, I think not.

While rewarding you for finishing the missions quickly, you are inclined to blow through all obstacles and enemies to go straight for the objective. While this is not easy, it is definitely possible on some missions, but not all, so be careful. I do not warrant this as something negative. While rankings rate your quickness, killing special enemies, called 'aces,' rewards you with unique weapons, unattainable at shops. There is one ace in each chapter. All in all, it's up to you to how many enemies you want/need to kill. Obviously the less you kill, the harder it will be to reach your objective; the more you kill, the longer it will take you to complete the mission.

The difficulty in VC is definitely there. While it may seem easy the first few missions, if you have not been battle-tested by Chapter 7, prepare to be! The game ramps up its difficulty from here there on out.

Artwork/Graphics (10/10)

This game boasts beautiful cel-shaded graphics in an anime style with a wonderfully drawn out world/environment. The world is a odd mix of your real world military and not so 'real world' fantasy. From the battle maps, to the amazing views, to the laugh out loud funny characters, the presentation is simply astonishing. At this time, there is no better looking cel shaded game.

You definitely feel drawn into the atmosphere while playing.

Music/Sound (9/10)

From the composer most known for his epic music in Final Fantasy Tactics, Hitoshi Sakimoto fails to disappoint. Probably one of the best orchestral video game composers out there(Tactics Ogre, Ogre Battle 64, Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy XII, are some of his best works),his scores all fit perfectly here. All the music during the games scenes is done nicely; coming in at the right time, and creating that needed emotion during important scenes. There is even a beautiful lyrical sung song in the middle of the game that is very emotional.

The voice actors also did a fantastic job. I know many anime enthusiasts complain about your everyday English-speaking voice actors, but this game is an exception to even them.

Overall (10/10)

A truly hidden gem, much like SEGA's predecessor Skies of Arcadia. This game does not have the recognition it deserves. Much of that probably has to do due to many factors such as no advertising, small amount of game copies, and the Western audience having a lack of taste of anything anime-styled.

Just do yourself a favor and ask anyone who has played the game what they think about it; very few, dislike it. Everybody I know that has played it loves it! I played this every chance I got over the course of a week until I completed it, it's that good! There is even a new game plus mode for when you are finished.

In a time where video games are filled with a plethora of shooters, you cannot go wrong with this original title, it will not disappoint. If you are a fan of RPGs in general this is a must buy. If not, at least download the demo and give it a try, you have nothing to lose.

While Valkyria Chronicles changes some aspects of your general SRPG, it is for the better. While also staying true to the genres roots, it delivers.

33)Tekken 6 review

   Raise your fists and get ready to fight to the brutal finish. The battle comes alive with bone-jarring realism as you pummel your opponent and do your utmost to inflict maximum damage. Your fists are fast and your grip is strong, but will it be enough to help you dominate in the ultimate King of Iron Fist Tournament?

Following his victory in the previous tournament, Jin Kazama has taken charge of the Mishima Zaibatsu and now possesses tyrannical ambitions. Using his resources within the organization to become a global superpower, he severs the Mishima Zaibatsu's national ties and openly declares war against all nations. This action plunges the world into a chaotic spiral, with war erupting around the globe and even amidst the space colonies orbiting the planet. Kazuya Mishima, is aware of this and finds Jin's interference in his own plans for global domination to be a nuisance. Now in charge of G Corporation (which was put under his command following a violent fury against the company's heads), Kazuya is seen as the only force who could oppose Jin and places a bounty on Jin's head for anyone who can capture him. Jin's response is to announce The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 in order to battle Kazuya and crush G Corporation.

A must-have for Tekken aficionados, TEKKEN 6 sees the return of many familiar faces as well as new characters to create the largest line-up the series has ever seen.
