I'm also iffy on Blue Dragon.  Save for Chrono Trigger, that art style really isn't my cup of tea.  Of course, if the gameplay is there then i'll give the game a shot. I think I would just have a hard time getting drawn into a game where i'm controlling a bunch of children in a colorful, lighthearted setting. At least in Dragon Quest VIII the story was somewhat serious. A game like Lost Odyssey though would be something I would be more interested in.

But who knows, from what i've read about Blue Dragon it has been recieved very well and the gameplay at least is said to be solid and entertaining.

Oh, and i'm guessing the music is great......right?
It should be..

I watched Running Scared last night. Not a big Paul Walker fan but it was actually a really good movie. Quite violent though..

I concur.

Pantera - The Badge

Rogue Galaxy, poking around on Zerard.  I can see myself getting addicted to 'Insectron' breeding:P

I watched that and I was humming "High Speed Dirt" the whole time.....is that wrong?

Personally I'd like to have all three next-gen systems but i'm not rich so I'll have to stick it out with my 360 for the next year or so.  It really is nice to see a lot more RPG's planned for it though as the original had next to nothing. I'm really looking forward to the Mistwalker games but "Mass Effect" is the one i'm really anticipating the most. Has a realease date been nailed down for it yet? I've heard April or May but I have no idea if that's true.

It doesn't matter too much to me though as i'm still working on FFXII and Rogue Galaxy.

I'm really into shooters like Half-Life, Gears of War and R6:Vegas; and Racers such as Forza, R4 and Moto GP.  I like almost any genre to some degree but besides RPG's, those 2 get the most attention.

What I'd really like to see though are more 'interactive-movie" type games like Shenmue and more recently Indigo Prophecy and Dreamfall. Those games really peaked my interest.


Oh, and Okami is brilliant:D

Ozzy - Road to Nowhere.

I woke up this morning with that song in my head......?

I started up a new game of FF12 just to try to do things differently this time and not mess up the whole 'zodiac spear' quest this time.  Other than that i'm online with Rainbow Six and Gears of War almost every night.

Trivium - A Gunshot To the Head of Trepidation

I'm kind of stunned when it comes to FFXII as well.  I have all the males basically acting as tanks with all the heaviest, most powerful armor and melee weapons while keeping the ladies ranged with bows.  It works well for the most part but more variation would probably be better.  My gambits are probably wrong too. Seems like everyone focuses on stat buffing too much which becomes a pain in the ass if the fight starts going bad. Im going to make some drastic changes next time i play.

Anyway, that being said, I just completed the Aztec temple in Shadow Hearts FTNW.  On my way to Rio....I think.

C. O. C. - Albatross


One of the best covers EVER!

Motley Crue- Theatre of Pain

That's right.

I like the malboro's and tonberries(pugs) from the FF series.  Also, I really liked the monster designs in FFX. The look of the Malboro's, Chimera's and many others, I thought, were really impressive.
