"Proof Cable TV is Obsolete"

This program lets you watch thousands of television channels to watch on your computer for free.  Internet TV has truly made cable and other companies obsolete due to its free cost and multitude of channels.  The advertising is a lot less too, such as when you just change the channel rather than get a bunch of commercial breaks that are about 10+ minutes per hour on regular television...

"Slow Trading Card Game/Phantasy Star Online 101"

Note: This review has 2 parts, one for my offline experience of Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution (which I'll shorten to Card Revolution), and the other for the series as a whole, based on my offline/online experiences with the Sega Dreamcast version of Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 and the PC version, Blue Burst.  I felt I needed to put in the 2nd part of my revie...

"Nice Improvement over the 1st Game"

This game fixed a lot of the problems I had with the first one.  Your energy blasts can be done more reliably in mid-air to an opponent on the ground and you can transform in the middle of battle, or you can choose the fused/transformed version at the start.I'm glad to see this storyline play so well too.  In this game, you basically hear voiceovers as you fight and before battle,...

"A Real Dirge!"

This game is a 3rd person shooter/rpg.  You level up at the end of the chapters but it has a lot of problems.  Ironically enough, dirge also means a song of mourning, which indicates my feelings towards this game. The story drags and the dialogue feels pretty boring.  Basically, a group called Deepground is trying to revive Omega and purge the world and you have to stop them.&nbs...

"Alien Syndrome Nintendo Wii"

Alien Syndrome is a good remake but has a bad class system.  However, it is fun once you get a rhythm going if you choose at least a decent class.   Here we have a good control setup but a flawed class system.  I don't really like the class system much; the seal can take a beating but is a very weak offensive class (it takes forever to kill enemies, your weapon uses the same ...

"If only I could control my dancing..."

The soundtrack makes this game barely tolerable; don't buy if you already have the Dreamcast version.  At least there are a lot of great songs.  The only issue I have is that you gotta pay 15 bucks to get the extras (they were free to download on the Dreamcast version).  At least some enjoyable songs were: Papa Loves Mambo, Take on Me, and Conga.   The biggest problem is...

"Only Play This Game for Marathon Sessions."

This game is decent; it would be better if you could save between stages.  This is a sequel (in gameplay) of Pocky and Rocky (for SNES) though it is better than the 2nd one since you can dodge and you're even invincible when you dodge because Sayuki turns herself into a giant snowball for a couple of seconds.   Unlike Castle of Shikigami 3 (which can be beaten in about 25-30 ...

"This is How a Sequel Should be Made."

This game overshadows the second game in the series because it adds on a lot of things and fixes some problems the 2nd game had.  Castle of Shikigami 3 has a dramatic mode, which lets you have the dialogue from the 2 player experience, but needing only 1 player (the 2 characters you choose share life and you can swap between characters at any time).  You also have a hi-tension ma...

"A Decent Message though it may have Some Flaws"

 This book was an interesting read although I do wish it could help people deal with being pressured more than the ones that are absolute failures that are on the way to self-ruin.  Given that people who are likely to read this book probably care more about informing themselves then being the baddest dude in town, I think that would be more helpful.  Still, there were some intere...

"A Good Alternative to Final Fantasy 3 DS"

  This is a pretty good effort though some flaws exist; definitely play this instead of Final Fantasy 3 for the DS or Final Fantasy 5 if you want to play a Final Fantasy themed game with a job system that doesn't drop the ball.  The graphics and sound are pretty mediocre, nothing really interesting except maybe a few familiar Final Fantasy jingles. The story is pretty decent ...

"A Good Outlook on Dragon Quest"

  If you played Dragon Quest 8, you've seen this game before graphically.  Cel-shading, maybe a touch sharper, but they recycle enemies and characters more times than I could possibly imagine.  The only different characters are probably main ones (the townspeople and enemies are exactly the same as Dragon Quest 8).  The music is forgettable although the battle theme is n...

"Enjoyable Fishing Sequel"

This is a great improvement over the 1st game.  The 1st Fishing master game was basically bare bones.  You walked terribly slow on the fishing maps and the dialogue was very dull (no life to it and tournaments didn't have any competitors, just a default computer that had a score).  Getting points was a slow ordeal too, making it feel like powerleveling.   Fortunatel...

"Great bundle with the Wii Zapper"

This is a fun game which could even do well as a stand-alone game but it is better that it comes with the Wii Zapper.  You play as Link from The Legend of Zelda series and you have to shoot targets and enemies with your zappers in a shooting game that controls well with your Zapper.  I think the best part of it all is when you do levels in which you can move Link around, making it mor...

"A Good Improvement Over Old Games"

This game is an improvement to Resident Evil because it has better controls.  The controls are pretty good, even without the light gun; you can quickly turn and fend off zombies by going into first-person and shooting them with precision.  The only complaints I have are that during the cutscenes, although they are pretty decent, the voices are hard to hear and the subtitles do no...

This movie is about a girl whose parents neglect her.  Coraline discovers a fantasy world in which everything goes perfect that allures her.  Upon subsequent visits to this world, Coraline learns that she has been deceived and needs to escape this world.  The 3d glasses had pretty good effects, making things leap out at you.  The only flaw of this movie was that it was hard ...

This game had many things going for it that made me actually like it a lot more than the anime.  The story feels like it would belong in an anime episode but believable and without the filler which made me hate the anime.  You have to do missions and basically protect your village and nation from the puppet using Shirogane clan who wants to get these powerful spirit orbs to revive a m...

"Great Action Game to Play"

This was a great game to play.  It mixes hand-to-hand combat with guns.  You have a lot of moves and the action is challenging and fast-paced.  Best of all, is that you learn many new combat moves (at least over 20 and they still remain useful at any point of the game) as you play through levels.  This is important to notice because a lot of action games only have a handful ...

This game is impressive.  I'm glad they made such a huge overhaul on this game compared to prior games in the series.  The mobile suits have pretty decent graphics and nothing is unrecognizable.  I titled this review after Char's theme song, Char ga Kuru, translated in English.  It sometimes plays when you title your character, CHAR (all caps needed, and on Zeon'...

About me:
I created an rpg parody called Quickstrike on my livevideo site and even a trading card game based on it. I do a lot of thinking in my life, seeing how so many things are taken for granted solely due to popularity and why contradictions exist. I think social networking is overrated due to how badly I lack feedback when I give it my all to maintain relationships. Ah well, hard work only pays off when you are in the driver's seat and know where to go with your abilities. I do think of myself as an Adept-Inept translator given my ability to read people and see their unintended euphemisms from their bad English. I got that idea from my Janice character in my Quickstrike rpg and I really relate to her; she's cool.
