Whew! What's this? I'm on a computer? Huh, forgot this was here. I've been hittin that PSP my friend gave me so hard, I'm surprised it's not part of my personal anatomy yet. Expect some Dissidia, Crisis Core, and Tomb Raider stuff soon.
Aw heck, This was gonna be a KH World review, but since I mentioned it, Dissidia is just about the best FF game I've played...
"Yo, I'm real happy for you and Imma let you finish, but Final Fantasy VII was the greatest Final Fantasy game of all time!!"
Can't say I disagree with that.
This game is pretty much a crossover of all the Final Fantasy games up to X, so that's a LOT of characters... Like 20? Cause you've got one good guy and one bad guy from each of them. Sure, the story kind of lacks a bit, and it can get tiring playing through all the stuff you've already seen, but the actual gameplay and pretty much everything else you could think of makes up for it. And it looks fantastic! But I might not be used to the PSP yet and maybe all the games look like this. Gotta say Tomb Raider was kind of blocky. Anyway, I haven't played all of the characters yet (I've worked all of them up to Onion Knight, in difficulty, so I'm actually pretty close) but I have to say my favorite to play with has been Zidane so far. FFIX is sooo the next game on my list....

358/2 Days Org. XIII Members Review
Finally got a copy of my beloved, long awaited 358/2... Obviously I haven't completed the entire game yet, but I have played as all the members in Mission mode. Well, all the original members, none of the secret ones yet... Anyway, I felt like reviewing them, so here we go.
I had fun playing with Xemnas. He has lightsabers!! That automatically makes him cool. Fighting, he's pretty quick, but just walking he's a bit of a slowpoke. Heck, he doesn't walk -- he floats. Chalk another one up for the cool factor!! The limit break is weird, though. It's like a giant sphere of doom that actually isn't that doomtacular.
Xigbar was a pain. Sure, he attacks pretty quick, but with every attack, he flies backward. It's not easy hitting your target unless you've got a wall behind him to keep him in place and loosing the lock on. Plus he misses a lot, and sometimes I don't even think he's attacking. The limit break was kind of cool though. It kind of reminded me of Halo.... But you zoom in and take out your enemies in sniper fashion.
Xaldin was pretty cool, too. Even though he flies up sometimes when attacking, making stuff on the ground harder to hit, his attacks were pretty good ... Fast enough, too. His limit break was some swishy whirly thing that did pretty good damage... He better be a good fighter, after the way he messed me up at Beast's Castle in II.
Didn't like Vexen. I mean honestly, who fights with a shield? Yes, that includes Goofy. Only reason I keep him around is for Valor Form. Anyway, IV is a magic geared fighter, and attack magic isn't really my thing. I didn't play long enough with him to find out what his limit break was.
I had hopes for Lexaeus. I saw the high attack and HP stats and thought "Now THIS will be fun." but Oooohhhhh how I was wrong. He's slower than a snail joggin through molasses, plus hard to steer and hard to get to hit what you want unless you're locked on. Limit break was pretty pointless, too.
Zexion is another magic character, so I didn't like him too much. And a book? What where they thinking? "Hey, Imma attack you with my big scary book and crazy emo hair!" ... No offence to emos. I don't know what kind of label I'd be, but I've been called emo before. ... I don't think I remember his limit break. That's short term memory loss for you.
Saix was OK. He attacked pretty fast and had a long range, two things I appreciate. His attacks weren't that strong though. He didn't really want to go where you told him either. Limit break was real confusing though. First time I saw it I was kind of like "WHAT is going ON??!!" Basically it's a mass hysteria version of Roxas's limit but you can't see what the heck you're doing or where you're going.
I had fun with Axel, too. Even for a close range character, the battle design was nicely executed. And why can't I remember all these limit breaks???!!!
Demyx!!! I remember his!! But as far as regular fighting goes, I wasn't that happy with. He's extremely close range and doesn't hit very strong. Limit break is kind of like stuff he did in KHII. Which is nice, since I hoped he'd have SOMETHING cool about him.
Luxord was weird to get used to playing. His cards make him kind of a close fighter, but they circle around him so he's good for large groups of heartless. I didn't get the limit break though... A card just pops up. I guess it's kind of like a shield, but it only pops up on one side of him so it's not a very good one...
Heeeey Marly!! (Inside joke) Marluxia was the first Organization character I played as, and I wasn't dissappointed. The scythe is pretty cool and he's easy to handle. Limit break is good for taking out lots of enemies, which is usually what's around you when your health gets that low anyway.
I wanted to like Larxene, I really did, but I just couldn't. She's fast, but that's about it. Her attacks didn't hit very hard, but she had enough stamina to survive a decent amount of time. Her limit is sort of a cross between Roxas, Axel, and Saix's. Fast and all over the place, but doesn't hurt a lot.
And Roxas's stuff is just stuff I'm used to, so I'm not going into detail. If you're any kind of KH fan, you already know how he works. And I played all these characters using the same panels as what I had set for Roxas, so some of them might not've reached their potential, but I wasn't messing with ol' Roxy's stuff. Out of all the characters (excluding Roxas), I'd have to say my favorites were Marly, Xaldin, and Xemnas. I just love a man in pink.

Worlds continuted...
Whew! Finally pulled myself off FFX long enough to type something. For hating that game for so long, I sure am playing it a whole lot lately.... Oh well.
Hundred Acre Wood!! Aww, I love this place.... Yes, I'm a sucker for Winnie the Pooh. Even if it's just a bunch of mini games, it's an awful cute world. It's pretty much impossible to hate this place.
Monstro, uhhggg, I really hated this place. The KHI world based on Pinocchio, the whole thing takes place inside the giant whale. I haven't seen that movie since I was little, but I'm pretty sure the whole movie's not inside some big ugly whale. Plus if they were going to do a world inside an animal, they should've taken a look at Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time first. Y'know, the dungeon Lord Jabu Jabu's Belly? If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm sorry you have lived such a poor deprived childhood. But it would freak me out to know my insides were rainbow... Ok, no it wouldn't. That would be awesome!!
Neverland, the Peter Pan world... Just in KHI, right? I don't remember... Anyway, I thought it was a nice touch, taking place on the ship and the clock tower. But why not make the game where you could play on the island? I would've loved to find the Lost Boy's hideout. And you can fly here!! That automatically makes this world cool.
One more... Olympus Collusium, the Hercules world in KHI, CoM, and II. In the first game it was OK I guess, just somewhere to show off your mad keyblade skills that aren't actually that great yet. You can fight Sephy here too in KHI, something I actually haven't done yet... Nobody likes CoM, so I'm not going to say much about it. II has a lot more to offer in this world. They added the Underworld in this one, with its own battle arena since the one on the surface world has been destroyed (SPOILERISH!!!). But you know what the best part about this world is? Auron!! It's the man himself. Who knew when he dissappeard to the Farplane, he actually went to Kingdom Hearts? Plus another thing... "Jump up on the Hydra's back!" Ohhh man that cracks me up every time... Best thing to do with a video game -- find "That's what she said" moments.

KH Worlds continued...
Next on the list is a world called Enchanted Dominion, based on Sleeping Beauty and set to appear in BbS.. Sounds good to me, Aurora was always one of my favorite princesses.
End of the World, the last or penultimate world in KHI. I haven't played that game in forever.... But if memory serves me correctly (but it usually doesn't, heads up) this place was unique... But really hard. You get a quick little flashback to all the worlds you've been to before going into the tough stuff. Wait, I don't think this is the right world.... Or is it??
Ahh Halloween Town, based on The Nightmare Before Christmas. Y'know, I never knew that was a Disney movie till I played this game. Go figure. And I still get excited about Halloween and want to dress up, despite my mom telling me that people think teenagers on Halloween are out to cause trouble. It's free candy and stupid costumes, how awesome is that!! I think I'm going as a White Mage this year... Loosely based on this, only less skimpy. Anyway, I've always liked this world... Except in CoM, but I didn't like a whole lot in that one. I especially loved how they added in Christmas Town in KHII, it added in more flavor. Plus it was seriously sweet, Sora thinking of Kairi. See people?! That's not gay!! Makes me so mad.
One more, cause I feel like it. Hollow Bastion, later known as Radiant Garden. Uhh was this one in KHI? Cause I think it was just Traverse Town there... Anyway, in KHII it's pretty cool. Definitely one of the biggest worlds in the game, especially compared to Disney Castle. For Donald and Goofy complaining about it being so big, it's only got about 5 rooms not counting Timeless River (which in my defence is technically a different world.) Anyway, this is where you'll find Yuffie, Cid, Squall (Leon to all you non-FFVIII playing peeps), Cloud, Tifa, Sephy, Aerith (who is magically alive??), and probably more FF characters I'm forgetting or just too lazy to type. This world's just kind of a jack of all trades.

News, updates, and random stuffs!!
IGN has some new footage of FFXIII, so go check that out before your head explodes out of impatience like mine almost has. And I mean TONS of footage!! Slap it all together, add some audio, and you got yourself a commercial! Sadly there's still no American release date, just sometime in Spring 2010. I just realized how sad it is that I can type 'Final Fantasy' so fast it skips letters. And I bet Wikipedia's tired of looking up the same thing over and over and over and over.....
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days comes out Tuesday, and I've been waiting for that one for a while.... Don't ask me how long, I couldn't tell you. Heck, I barely even remember yesterday. But if you don't already know, 358/2 is for the DS and follows the story of Roxas when he was in the Organization. There's no new worlds in this one, but it does fill in the gap in the story and you get to play an entire game as Roxas, my personal favorite character... I have my reasons which are not to be discussed, and no, it's not what you're thinking. Plus a multiplayer mode!! It's nice that they thought of that. That makes it the first multiplayer KH game and the first time you can play as a girl, first Larxene and then Xion. With all these good reviews, it'll be hard NOT to get your hands on a copy.
Another thing I just noticed is that Halo 3: ODST is really popular. Yes, I've played Halo (not very well) and it was fine an dandy when I wasn't getting masacred.... Which was EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!..... Was fun though. And what does ODST stand for?? It's probably something I'd have to play the game to get. Oh well, my dad doesn't like all those war games so I'll just have to play it over at my nephew's place.

More KH worlds.....
Next on the list is ..... Deep Space?? .... Ok, I learned how to use the search!! How random... Anyway, this world is based in Lilo and Stitch and will be in Birth by Sleep. SPOILERISH!!!
Destiny Islands.... as far as I remember, this world was only playable in KHI. And MAN was it boring!! Worst part of the game, in my opinion. You basically just learn how to play and collect a ton of useless things for Sora, Riku, and Kairi's "journey"...
Disney Castle!! The world we saw in KHI and played in II. Man I actually love this place!! Especially that big white room that leads to the one that goes to the Steamboat Willie place. Great place for showing off on that old skateboard. Speaking of which, I need to get Lucas to show me how to ride one since my former mentor has been.... Indisposed. Anyway, this place looks really cool and the garden is a nice reference to one of my favorite cartoons...
Dwarf Woodland??? Must be another BbS world. Sounds like Snow White, but I'm too lazy to go and check....
