Episode 32
A thousand apologies for missing last week. We did have a long week end here in North America with “Labour Day” so I hope you all can understand.
We are back this week with a bit of a short show, due to the fact we could not get together to record.
Direct show more...
Reviews:
Castlevania - Symphony of the night - The classic PS1 title, coming soon to xbox live arcade. Awsome 2D action game. This is one of the BEST 2D platformers. I have had this game since it made greatest hits and have yet to complete fully. (100%). You will play through the castle twice in this game, once in a normal manner the second upside down. This should be huge on XLA.
Shining Force NEO - Decent RPG
Astonishia Story - Odd little RPG for the PSP. 2D cartoon look the reminds me of the SNES days. This has more colours then the Super Nintendo was capable of but no much better. There are some very odd little cut scenes revolving around piracy. Odd to say this but there are many better RPG’s for the PSP. The battle system is tacticle style.
FF I & II: Dawn of Souls - Pretty remake of the originals, nice portable game.
