Green Green Anime and Maple Story MMORPG

Green Green.12 episodes.Ecchi,Comedy,Love Story Anime.
Lots of "service" shots, in the words of its director. Revolves around the story of an all boys mountain school turned upside down by the arrival of girls from an all girls school in order to test mixing the genders for the next school year.

Maple Story.Side-scrolling Alt-pressing z-gathering MMORPG. Cutesy Anime graphics and great presentation although i really wish it didnt involve the frantic keyboard controls.

Hardware: LG DK-9934N

Just got one from Abensons Glorietta 1/Quad. It plays DVDs,VCDs,Audio Discs,Divx 3/4/5/6,Xvid,Wav,Mpeg and Mp3s. It looks very sleek with the silver finish and weighs almost the same as my Nextbase portable dvd player.

Games: Dungeon Siege 2 Betatest

Currently Betatesting Dungeon Siege 2. *crosses fingers*.
Impressions: Same Dungeon Siege engine with a few bells and whistles, game "railings" similar to Guild Wars, pretty good production values, blocky characters and a windows priority button.

Games: PS2 Makai Kingdom: Mini Review

Makai Kingdom is the latest of Nippon Ichi's hardcore strategy rpgs. It tells the story of Lord Zetta, an overly egotistical Overlord attempting to regain his netherworld back after failing to halt its prophesized downfall by Pram The Oracle, another Overlord.

This latest iteration of the same strategy rpg/leveling formula, employed in such titles as Disgaea and Phantom Brave, is back and better than ever; Even though it features the "gridless" movement system and invite system of Phantom Brave, Makai Kingdom also brings back the Reincarnation and item world feature of Disgaea and also adds a new strategy element to the mix in the form of summoning or "inviting" buildings into battle which gives boost to characters housed within.

The voice acting in English is the best i have heard (no need to switch to Jap unless youre really hardcore into jap voice acting) and the story and characters are hilarious. Nippon Ichi doesnt break new ground with Makai Kingdom (known as Phantom Kingdom in the US) but for the hardcore srpg crowd, this is a must have title.

I just wish that Nippon Ichi earns a lot of $$$$ so that it could start building other franchises and maybe redefine a genre the way they did with Disgaea: HOD.
