The big 4

Well, I've finally had a chance to play the 4 games I have purchased recently:

*puts down PSP* Where to start. Well, might as well give a run down of what I'm currently playing. Vice City Stories is leaps and bounds ahead of it's portable predecessor. It's also much better than it's original incarnation on the PS2.

You play as Vic Vance: a basically good guy who's forced to do questionable things to support his illness ridden family. Along the way he makes some powerful allies, even more powerful enemies, and I'm guessing manages to take over Vice City while he's at it.

What's next... well, I did sort of go over Ace Combat X already, there isn't really as much story in the game as there is in the previous ones. It's there, but the game is much shorter. I completed the game once, and have started through again, this time along a different mission path so I've been able to unlock more. I will consider it done once I have unlocked all the planes, which may still take a while.

Contact, I unfortunately haven't had much more chance to play. It's good, but not good enough to distract me from the other games I have been playing. I will get around to it once the other games have been played to my satisfaction.

Finally, no pun intended, we come to Final Fantasy XII. WOW! I can see why it's been 5 years since the last stand alone game, Final Fantasy X, came out. It looks bloody amazing, the story is great so far, and even though the onlinesque battle system takes much of the control out of your hands, it's still fun and challenging to play. I can see myself spending 100's of hours on it by the end of the year.

I know that Children of Mana came out recently, and that Final Fantasy III and V are coming out soon as well. The Wii is also supposed to be out in 2 weeks, plus TLoZ: Twilight Princess. *sigh* As much as I'd love to get all those, it will have to wait. Hmmm, Christmas is coming though... heheh.

D&D Today: Part 10

The Journal of Gars Sithersay : Golden Guardinel of Garland's Guardians Day 266 I joined the Brotherhood after my parents were killed. I wanted to stop the groups and organizations who felt they were above the law, free to do whatever they liked. Over time, thoughts of vengeance faded, but the desire to protect the innocent and punish the unjust remained. The laws of Snatta and the rights of her people must be upheld. But what of the rights of those who seek to subvert our ways and impose their own? If they cannot be reasoned with, then they should be stopped. And what of those who follow them blindly, not knowing the cause they are aiding? Ignorance isn't an excuse, however if laws cannot be bent then our rigidness would be our own undoing. The last of the problematic gnolls were slain a few days ago. Our worries are over, however the worries of their families is just beginning. Over two hundred gnollish women and children, left to fend for themselves. While capable of p...

Another period of time later and here I am again. Let's see. Dirge of Cerebus just came out so I'll be picking that up in the upcoming months. Also picked up a couple of sweet games: Civilization IV: Warlords Darwinia Now, I know Warlords is only an expansion, but it adds lots of cool features to the game, such as having Great Generals which can give experience to your armies, a Great Wall that actually appears on the map, even being able to play as the barbarians. Who doesn't want to loot and plunder... You'll pay for this Captain Planet! Darwinia though, that is an amazing game! You are an observer in a virtual theme park which is populated by these little guys called Darwins. A virus invades the system and it's up to you to help them take back their territory but protect them from harm while you do. You can't directly control the Darwinians, but you can nudge them in the right direction. I'll be playing through for a third time soon, not just because I li...
