These are the Weeks of Our Games – 11/23/2008

I didn’t beat Mother 3 last week!

A shame, but I did pound through a good bit of the game, and while it is not exactly the sequel I wanted, it is a solid game. Hope to finish it soon.

I picked up Last Remnant and Chrono Trigger DS.

I haven’t seen anything new of CTDS yet, so all I can comment on is that yes, it is CT and yes, it is awesome. Actually, there are the new menus which can be controlled with the touch screen and I find them quite nice. There’s something about splitting up information between two screens that just makes it nicer on the eyes, as well. Not having the battle screen cluttered with the menus and status of your characters also makes for an attractive package.

The Last Remnant is awesome.

I called it just from the TGS demo and a lot of people are having fun. A lot of critics are slamming it hard for it’s technical problems, which it is chock full of. I see the loading screen a lot, and if you don’t have it installed to the hard drive which the new 360 upgrade this week allows for, I hear the game can be pretty much a pain.

Alas, I haven’t suffered through these problems, only that the fact the game is a bit ugly, but who cares. The battle system is still fairly quick and still very fun. I get a whole Warhammer 40k meets SaGa vibe from the whole thing and it is awesome. I need to spend some more time with it, but so far it is one of the most enjoyable games I have played in a long time.
