So this weekend wasn't spent watching jets flying this way and that or stuff that really required much getting out of the house for. Rather, my weekend was spent gaming and now I can say that I've gotten back into Nintendo DS games and now PSP games too. It is truly portable insanity in it's fullest effect...
I'm going to keep this short and sweet, since I have been spending the last several hours glued to FFT: War of the Lions. Speaking of which, it is as good as I remember it and the added cut scenes are beautiful to say the least. I was absolutely blown away by the clarity of the PSP and I can say that FFT looks better now then it did all of those years ago.
My only gripe about it so far, and this seems to be a common 'problem,' is the lag. It happens whenever your (or the enemy) soldiers attacks/uses a spell or ability. It isn't game breaking and for damn sure not nearly as bad as the lag was in the PSOne remake of Final Fantasy VI/Chrono Trigger. Besides that, playing FFT feels like home again...
As for Legend of Zelda, I've only gotten to play it for a very short time but the time I spent with it was pretty impressive to me. What intrigued me was how you were to navigate through the game by not using the standard D-pad, but the stick/pencil... er... thing. Same goes for attacking, which does add a different level of game play.
So with that all said and done now, now I shall return to war. There are countless soldiers that need be trained and to reforge the army I once commanded many long years ago will be a long and arduous task. It will take time, yes, but heed my words... We will rise again! Dun dun duuuuuuun!

I have been too busy to comment! I am also playing FFT on the PSP. I typically just play one battle a day, though, since there are so many other games that I DON'T know the ending to that I'm in the middle of playing. I'm really enjoying it. The lag does get a bit irritating at times, but I don't expect much from a disk. Cartridge games FTW!
I think my Oblivion GOTY for PS3 is finally coming out this week. I love Elder Scrolls. It's probably the only non-Japanese game franchise that I adore that much.
I'm trying to get caught up on my games, but too many are coming out and honestly, none of them are making me go without sleep. They just aren't THAT awesome, even if they ARE good. If you've read my latest blog post, I go into it more there.
Anyway, last time I visited your workplace, I didn't see you. I'll try again some time this week. The cashier sure was grouchy... I'm guessing you're not the only one who thinks it sucks to work there.
I did read your post and I do know the feeling. I've been racking up games myself, but I haven't been all that motivated to play them. None of them have really done it for me with the exception being FFT so far, which is kind of sad.
Speaking of which, I thought of your post the other day when I saw a car ad that featured Halo 3. That and the Halo 3 cups at Burger King and the Mountain Dew cans...
Halo 3 was pretty good, but damn. It's getting promoted as if it were the absolute greatest game ever created in the history of the universe.
Any game recommendations for PSP? I'd hope there is more good stuff out there then just FFT...
Ya know I rented Elder Scrolls, but just couldn't get into it. It could just be that I need to put more time to it?
Or maybe it was because I was trying to rip off a guy's (I think he was the head of the knights, can't remember the name of them though) stuff right in front of his face? Then I got my ass handed to me when I got the ever so brillant idea to draw my sword and take a swing at 'em.
Ah yes, work. I'm usually there everyday besides Thursdays and Saturdays. As for the cashiers... yeah, they've hired a few that don't look all that happy to be there.
PSP games... Final Fantasy I and Final Fantasy II. Valkyrie Profile. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (when it comes out here... I'm playing the Japanese one). Hmm... None of these are new. They're all remakes. This just proves my point with the game industry...lol. I can't remember what other games I have. I'll look when I get home.
As for Elder Scrolls, the learning curve on that game is MAJORLY STEEP. It takes a long time to really understand what to do and how to do it. I guess I devoted the time because it reminded me of playing EverQuest, but without the other people. I like solo content more than group content in ANY game. ><; I'm just anti-social, I guess...lol. Actually, maybe it has more to do with not wanting to rely on the skills of others. Sort of like why the Japanese love golf so much. It's an individual skill.
