A prize from Namco Bandai
In the last days of December Namco Bandai held a competition where you could win
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition. And it would seem that I was one of the lucky 13 winners! I already knew I had one, but I got the stuff today.
Hoho, it was such a nice package. With the game some DLC and a fankit as they themselves call it. In it was some sort of book that I can’t say I care all that much about. But there was also a zippo lighter and its beautiful! Really, really nice actually.

More Zelda, much more
Been playing a whole lot of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword again. Mostly since I had some time to spend with my friend whom I play it together with.
I’m not sure what I think about this game… It’s good, but I’m not sure I’ve had much fun with it. Well not entirely true either, there are some parts I’m not enjoying so much. There is a bit too much use of the motion controller, yes I do know why. But I still wish we could have gotten an option to use the pro controller and skip all the motion stuff.
If the next Zelda game will have motion controls I sure hope they are better and not
And I can’t say that I think the music is very memorable, since I can’t even remember the slightest tune from the game. It’s not bad in any way, just not as good as past games in my opinion. Still I’m driven to continue playing this game, since I really enjoy the whole Link rescues his loved one, I enjoy seeing the feelings Link and Zelda share. And would have loved if the’ve gone further with it. Well I don’t know how it ends so maybe I’ll get my wish.
I most replay A Link To The Past, again some day. It’s my favourite amongst the Zelda games, I’ll never grow tired of that game.
After we’re done with Skyward Sword we’ll go ahead and play through Twillight Princess. Looking forward to that too. But tomorrow I think I am going to start playing Mario Galaxy, I must try that game. I am very eager to see what I’ll think about that game. I was playing
Tales of Symphonia 2 before, but I am having trouble getting into the game. And besides, I’m eagerly awaiting Ni no Kuni for PS3 later this month so no more rpgs until then.
And for those of you who care, yes I’m feeling slightly better than I did when I made my last post. And in the future my “games I’ve beaten” section will be split into multiple pages sine both the Sony and Nintendo parts of that list is getting big. See ya next time!

NintendoLand, Mario & Tales of Graces
I decided to try a bit NintendoLand before going to bed. That was about two-three hours ago. Hehe, yeah I lost track of time. Pretty fun game with minigames. But I’ve just tried The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest and Yoshi’s Fruit Cart. They are both pretty fun, I enjoyed Yoshi’s FC more than I thought I would. But it was fun, can’t wait to try the rest of the attractions. For Zelda I really need to get a Wiimote, so I can play it and use the sword. With the Gamepad, you can only use the bow. But I wanna slice things up too!
And that’s not the only reason for why I want it, I want to be able to play the Wii games I already own. Like Xenoblade Chronicles, Tales of Symphonia 2, Mario Galaxy and the The Legend of Zelda games. Ahh, hope this “Nintendo high” will last. Feels good man.
And as you should be well aware of by now, I am replaying Tales of Graces f. And I just love that game, so today I beat the last boss in the main arc. And managed to do so under 60 seconds. So I got that trophy and it felt pretty good actually! No, I’m not really playing to get trophies, but it is fun to test yourself. If I wanted to get the platinum trophy for this game, there are still a lot of things left. Like winning over the Rockgagong, beating another certain boss under 60 seconds. Getting all the in requests so I can face the gentleman… Yeah, all the hard stuff left. Not to mention, maxing out the Eleth meter to 9999. I’m at a little more than 3000 right now, so it would take a long, long time…
Yes, I erased the last boss’ name. I don’t want to spoil anything for people who haven’t played the game yet, I don’t want to be that guy. We’ll see if I will continue to play TOGf for now or if I’ll take a break there for now and focus on the Wii U and the games I have for it. Well I’ll be back on the Playstation 3 pretty soon, since Ni No Kuni will be releasing next month. Eagerly looking forward to that title, really hope it turns out good.

Double dose of Tales of Symphonia!!
It’s a bit late now, but finally all the stuff from my own birthday gifts have arrived! So happy to finally have Tales of Symphonia back in my collection. I bought it when it was new and sold it soon afterwards. I’ve regretted that for the longest time, so I went out searching for after I had my 29th birthday. And found it by the end of November for a really nice price, so that’s great!
And on eBay i was lucky enough to find a cheap unopened version of Tales of Symphonia 2. My Tales of collection is of to a pretty good start so far. Just wonder when I’ll be able to add anything to this collection.
While I am replaying Tales of Graces f right now, I am hoping to replay the first Tales of Symphonia one day. And then continue with number 2, and see if it’s as bad as I’ve heard it is. Well I don’t really care, I just want all the English Tales of games in my collection!

Two long awaited JRPGs of 2013
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of The White Witch
This will be a great game to start 2013 with, at least I hope it will be. But everything I’ve seen so far just makes me want the game even more, the music is nice, the animations are pretty good. And the English voice acting is really nice! Wonder if I’m the only one to think that?
Wouldn’t be the first time, since I mainly prefer English dubs over the Japanese ones. As long as I find them good. Hopefully this game will up to the hype I’m feeling for it.
Tales of Xillia
This is so far my most anticipated game of 2013! I’m a big fan of the Tales of series and I’m eagerly awaiting this game being released in English. Hope it will be released in the US and EU at the same time, this time around. So I don’t have to go around importing this title, because I’ll do it if I have too. You can bet on that! Since we have no real English trailer for the game just now, I’ll just be posting Milla’s intro from the game. I also really hope they make an English version of the song, or at least keeps it but as an intrumental version instead. Just like they did with Tales of the Abyss’ intro. Can say much more really, I’m a Tales of junky and I’ll take every Tales of game I can get my hands on. Hope we’ll get Tales of Xillia 2 in English also.

My updated Xenosaga collection
Hello ya all! I’ve finally updated my Xenosaga Collections part of this site. I’ve gotten some new stuff since the last update I did in 2009, so I thought why not update now. And this will probably be the last update/addition to my collection, I feel like I have the stuff I want right now.
Sure there are a couple of more things I’d like to have, but only if I can get them cheap. And I mean really cheap, but we’ll see what the future holds.
It’s been fun collection all these things since 2003-2004, I think that was when I started to collect Xenosaga stuff. So what is next then? Will there be something to collect next? I’m not sure actually, I’ve been thinking of trying to get a hold of all Tales of games that have been released in English. That’s not a very hard thing to do, so I might do that. Since I really love the Tales of games too. So among the games I want to get are, Tales of Destiny, Eternia, Symphonia, Symphonia 2 and so on. But all that’s still in the future, we’ll see. Nothing has been decided and right now I do not have the economy to build any sort of collection. But when I do, it would be kind of nice to get a nice collection of NES and SNES games. Start a little bit of retro collecting… Ahh! Well I can always dream.
