Pokemon Diamond Review

Pokemon Diamond: This was the first game of the Pokemon series that i played on the DS. I got the chance to play the game at my cousin’s house and i simply loved it so i decided to buy it. The game was released by Nintendo and Game Freak in mid 2007 and is a role playing game. Its ESRB rating is everyone. The main story is that you (either a girl or a boy) are living in some strange town. A professor named Rowan sends you and one of your best friends on a mission to collect as much information on the Pokemons that live in that area as you can. After that you will go on to gather information on Pokemons by fighting and capturing them.
That was the story, now let us come to the good points of the game. The game features colorful environments as you have seen in Pokemon cartoons. One thing that i would really appreciate that has been done by nintendo is the introduction of Online gameplay. The story is full of twists and turns and it is long enough to keep you busy for hours.
Overall, it is a great game and the gameplay is full of variations. it is a must have for any DS owner.

Overall Score: 4 out of 5

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 Review

A few days ago I bought Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4, and believe me this game is worth a buy. I saw this game at one of my friends house. I did’nt get the chance to play the game as I was in a hurry, but the game looked so good that I decided to buy it for my self. Shing Megami Tensei: Persona 4 is an excellent role playing game with a great story that will give you hours of fun. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 was released on 8 December 2008 by Atlus Co. and its ESRB rating is Mature. You will play the role of a detective who is on to solve a murder mystery and has the power to summon different creatures. You will get the chance to explore different environment including a series of dungeons all having a different layout. The combat system in this game is very addictive and entertaining and it is a lot better from its predecessors. This game features realistic and attractive looking characters. You will meet different characters as you will progress further in the game. This game is great and the only problem I found in this game is the bad camera angle that produces difficulty in taking turns while you are in the dungeons. But, overall this game is great and I will recommend it to everyone. I will give this game 9 out of 10 because it is worth it.

Role Playing Games

Role Playing Games are really a hit in video games. Whether it’s in Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 or Playstation 2. It’s nice to see your character evolve to what you want. Take for example the game Fable 2, the character evolves to what you do to him. When you always eat meat and fatty foods to replenish stamina the character physical appearance became fat. Which there is a mini game which you must pursue a girl then marry her. Your Characters Attractiveness decline when you eat that kind of replenishment. And also, the character evolves in the decisions you make. If it became evil, corrupt or good.
Even in the final fantasy game series, your character is what you make it. You can have a strong character by fighting a lot or a magical character by enhancing your magic most of the time. Level up in terms of experience, that you will get when you encounter things or in a fight. It’s really fun to see your character grow. Take for example a character in Final Fantasy VIII, my favorite game thus far. The hero started as a student in a military academy. Who has a rival student which eventually became his greatest enemy in the end. The graphics was really ahead of it’s time, the game was first introduce in Playstation 1.
RPG really is for the explorer kind of players.

Warhammer Beta

Another good post from Sean at Gamers With Jobs

Let’s start with this fact: Warhammer Online is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.

That should befairly obvious to anyone who has at all followed the game, but it bears explicitly stating because there seems to be a constant complaint from some corners that massively multiplayer games have the irritating tendency of playing like massively multiplayer games. If you are expecting Warhammer to shatter the mold and perhaps offer real-time, gesture based combat where advancement is determined not by experience but by the number of dance emotes you can string together, then save yourself the disappointment. If you’ve played other popular MMOs then you’re going to be right at home with Warhammer, and if you hate playing these kinds of games then stop now, think no further on the topic and move along to other verdant pastures of gaming grazing goodness.

Zelda: A Link to the Past

Breanna Baurley — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 21:16:35 +0000

Zelda: A Link to the Past is one of the great classic SNES games in the Zelda series. The third installment in the “Legend of Zelda” series, it was released in North America in 1991. Though many games at that time were coming out with the now popular “Third Person” 3d perspective, this Zelda installment stayed with the favorite “Birds Eye” top down perspective that had worked for it so far. The battle system stays true as well, your sword and shield being all you ever need.

The game play is very similar to the other Link installments made before this, the only thing that’s changed is that the graphics got a bit prettier, the bosses got far more dangerous, and the world and storyline is much more involved.

I’ve played and re-played this game so many times, but it still offers challenges and pleasant surprises for me.

If you’re looking for this game to play again (and you don’t want to visit eBay and dig out your old SNES), it was re-released again recently for the Game Boy Advanced in a dual-game cartridge with The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords.

Graphics: 4 (could have used a bit more work, they’re a bit jumpy sometimes)
Sound: 3 (music is still the same, but still wonderful)
Gameplay: 5 (always fun, always challenging)
Storyline: 4 (surprisingly deep for a Zelda game)

(Note: All ratings are on a 1-5 basis, with 5 being the highest)
