Pro Evo is Back!

Yes, well on the PS2 anyway. The PC version didn’t feel like it had that Pro Evo magic. The game is just about perfect and it has been received well by the PES community including myself. I won’t write a review on the game as I’m just not bothered in all honesty but a few things it has going for itself is the pacing of the game (PES 2009 was just too fast for my liking) and the seemingly improved GK AI (although they still make some silly errors but no way near that of PES 08/09). I am also waiting for a kit update from a guy called Chrispele on Evo Web so I’ve stopped playing Master League for now.

I also picked up Smash Court Tennis 2 also on the PS2 for £2 but I’m not really that interested in it. After all, I brought it for the multiplayer funness (yeah it’s not a real word).

In other news, I have started a new job (hence the lack of posts) and I’m just brain-dead when I get home due to the workload. I will adjust eventually but right now, it’s all a big headache in the evening. I do aim to post something useful (like a review of some games but I haven’t been buying anything obscure recently).

Until next time, bye for now.

Fin…Or Maybe Not

Until now I had said that I would stop posting any more since I beat my backlog. However after some time, I’ve decided to continue my blog albeit in a slightly different approach. I will be changing a few things around to reflect this, watch this space!

Now Playing: Er…More SMT – Devil Survivor

I haven’t really been gaming much lately as is with the summer season. I’ve been mainly trying Windows 7 RC and decided a while back that I’d get it on preorder. It’s pretty cool but I think I need more than a P4 processor and 2GB RAM to make Team Fortress 2 run smoothly.

I finally managed to start my second playthrough of Devil Survivor although it’s proving to be a chore more than anything else. Currently in the middle of Day 2 and with high level demons, it’s pretty much just a rush to get to the fork where you can change the ending.

As always, I’m playing 42 All-Time Classics. Mainly (or always) Billiards and Balance. I miss playing forum friends on WiFi but there’s little I can do about that.

As far as gaming news goes, I’m excited about the new Call of Duty game coming to the DS but I hope the Action Replay users (i.e. cheaters) stay far, far away.

If you’re reading this and somehow are also looking to play someone on 42ATC or any other game that I own (check my backloggery posts) then drop me an email or add me on MSN. Otherwise it back to playing strangers on 42 ATC with the compulsory “Good luck!” and “Lucky” spamming.

RPG Maker Review: Forbidden Magic

Another traditional RPG to review but can it stand on it’s own?

Now Playing: SMT – Devil Survivor

After completing my backlog recently, I immediately jumped into Shin Megami Tensai: Devil Survivor on the DS. Along with that I finished Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure also on my favourite handheld.

MOTHER 3 Translation Patch v1.1 Out Now!

The original patch had some things to needed fixing and once again Mato and his crew of hackers have readdressed this to bring version 1.1 of the MOTHER 3 fan translation.

Of course, you’ll need a fresh copy of the game (not the old patched one) but that’s easily found on search engines.

The patch can be found by following the link posted on the link below.

Dragon Quest IX Gets 40/40 From Famistu

I’m not one for review scores but I tend to pay a bit more attention to Famitsu. Well it seems another game has landed the 40/40 score which doesn’t mean it’s perfect as a game per say but it’s worthy of playing at least once.

Rpgmaker.net Links

Rpgmaker.net has seen a recent overhaul and as such, many links have been moved or deleted. If you find any broken links on my blog, please let me know. I’ll get around to fixing them as soon as I can, thanks!

The Forgotten Game Gear Games

Last week while doing a bit of room tidying, I found a few Game Gear games in a bag. These weren’t the kind of games I had fond memories of but I thought I’d mention them here.

After Thoughts On Backlog Gaming

Looking back on my last post, it got me thinking. Did I really finish my backlog? Is there a real need to finish games you’ve hardly played? In reality, no one ever does thanks to all the games keep acquiring. I will be playing those forgotten GameGear games I kinda skimmed over (I found them only last week!).
