Forward!

So now that I've spent a good deal of time being a depressing piece of human (no fun there), I think it is safe to move forward! And what better way to turn things around then to go back to where my interests are the greatest? Yup, back to the games! What can I say? There are a few games that have caught my eye recently, but the number that I am actually picking up is rather tiny.

The top of that list right now? Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies.

To be truthful, I've always heard about the Dragon Quest series (especially the fact that this series shuts down schools in Japan and tends to be the only true rival to the Final Fantasy series) and while that was interesting to me, I just never saw any of the games over here.

All of that changed with DQVIII.

I enjoyed the mess out of that game! I enjoyed it because it was (in my opinion) put together rather well and it was just plain enjoyable to play. I can't even think of anything truly bad about that experience, which is rare to even have happen when it comes to any games.

So to say that I am looking forward to DQIX would be some what an understatement. In this day and age, good games are easier to find. But to find a great one? Now that is a rare treat...

And another little note, I seem to be hitting a sort of hand held gaming craze, because the next game that is actually coming to me from GameFly happens to be Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley. Here is yet another game that I've read a bit about and I keep seeing how people enjoy this so much and say how much fun this all is.

Well I'm going to see for myself what all the hype and fanfare is about. The part that I am liking (for a change) is if I don't like it at all, I won't be stuck with it anymore. I can just dump it back in the mail and another one arrives to take its place!

Why didn't I sign up with those guys sooner?
