My gaming(life) Journal
Welcome to Another Entry of my journal 
Last time I told you all about how I and my Bro got a PSone after years of waiting. Along with the Console we got a loads of games to play.. and play we did! The whole day we spent switching CDs and trying out all the games we got.. it was what you call.. a FRENZIED gaming session. In this Entry I will tell few of the most memorable moments we had that day.
* Same Name,Different Numbers
After opening the PSone's Box we read the whole Box turning it in all kinds of directions thinkable We Didn't remove the white soft material within which the console was rapped.. we used it as a cushion to put under the PSone and even NOW we have it under the PSone, not torn even a single bit.We waited for Dad to show us all the things he brought and oohed and aahed at all the things different things. Dad remembered that we told him that we liked 3Xtreme a Lot.. so he bought a game called 2 Xtreme.. He told us this when he bought the game.. and we thought that it was a prequel to the game we already had (3Xtreme).. so we told OK and he brought it Along with that there were many other games(as mentioned previously).
Soon all the unpacking and stuff was over.. Pops told us to Enjoy the PSone and we Jumped and started connecting the thing.. it was quite easy for us to connect, and then we turned it on.. we saw that white screen and PSone Logo come up, It was the first time we heard the sound (previous time we played PSone, it was already turned on) Soon we put the Games in and started the playing!
Tomba!
The First game that always comes into my mind when I think of the day that I played the PSone is TOMBA!, I don't know how many times I have mentioned it.. but that game was a true GEM! It was very unique and it left its mark on my brain..I always try to compare other games with this and see how good they are. Its not REALISM in games that I desire.. its FUNNISM. This game was filled with fun and also had great thought provoking puzzles. So how did the first experience go ??
Well, We put in the CD and I started playing.. at first we saw the Whoopee Camp Logo and it was nice with the jingle and giggle 
The Game menu didn't tell much about the game and then the game started loading, there were pigs dancing in the
loading screen 
so I figured out it had something to do with pigs.. and then soon the intro started.. and the intro was very nice It was one of the first 3D cutscenes we saw for games, as up until then we played only 2D snes games where the best cutscenes were like Anime Sequences. After that we were thrown at the village that is show at the end of the intro..I had no idea what to do and moved my character here and there. Tried jumping and all that.. the first time I saw an enemy, instinctively, I jumped on the enemy trying to take it down and it did work! What tomba did was.. bite the pig and catch it from the top I was so surpised and then later on jumping he threw it with a spin jump.. 
that was quite funny and exciting.. and I started doing it again and again for more pigs and then later on realized that we could shift from fore ground to BG! Which was also cool! Giving a new dimension to a sidescroller game.. I played around a bit more and then returned to the CD switching.. but in the end came back to this game and played a LOT. It was such a Varied Game it had many different things. This was the only game that I felt that Is worth reviewing.. coz every other game there are many reviews and almost everyone knows of them.. There is another reason, if I write a review I tend to mention even the minute details and since I usually don't have time I don't write reviews that much..but I felt this was worth spending some time sitting and reviewing.. so check out the review if you like
Spyro!
Now for the other games.. along with that we also saw other games.. one of them was Spyro 2. The game was the first 3D 
platformer that I played and playing in 3D was really different and cool We have so much freedom in them.. This began a journey into the 3D platformer world for me which almost never ended.. From a simple D-pad controls Its evolved to Dual Analogue Controls with body movements and Camera Movements at the same time. I liked this game too.. and more on this game later
*Different Numbers, Different Games.
Next was 2Xtreme.. which turned out to be NFL Xtreme 2... That's shows how easy it is to get tricked by a smart game naming 
system Its like buying rainbow six thinking it was new Splinter Cell game just coz they have "Tom Clancy" in their names. It was the first time ever I played an American Football Game..we had no friggin idea what it was we were kids, and we turned on the game and there was a pic of a girl with pom poms and miniskirt in the in menu screen we just pressed x x x x and then soon the game started..we got the ball ran for some time and then some guy threw us down.. that's what we understood..and after that we were shown a screen with some dots and lines.. we had NO single idea what it was ... just pressed X and then continued... and then after sometime figured out it was some player movement thing.. and we started selecting by thinking.. but then we thought "We are playing against computer.. and it will know which move we are taking.. so whats the point"
*Computer = Smart,Humans = SmartER
That's what I think even now.. If you are selecting some move.. its obvious that the game knows it.. so the computer will automatically come to that place where your player will go.. I've felt like this so many times even in FPS games with hard difficulty., I think that the AI calculates the time and position of reaching(for our bullet) as soon as we click the mouse and they can easily dodge it.. so its almost impossible to kill them.. unless you shoot another bullet before they can react to the new bullet.. that's what I do in UT Shoot first bullet somewhere and the computer dodges it, I know which direction it will dodge so shoot another bullet even before it jumps and it dies in air ... some more analyzing like this helped me a lot in competitions and hence I never play in least difficulty as no matter what game it is .. it's always a cake walk
As for the NFL game.. it turned out to be one of the games that we NEVER played again
We continued playing more and more games throughout the day. I and My bro were HUGE WWF fans back in the days.. we've 
followed WWF(E) since '92 and DID try those things at home and even on huge sand dunes It was fun having a brother as you can fight as much as you want, as in real FIGHT(piledriving, Clotheslineing,DDTing, SleeperHolding ....) and still not worry about the future coz we are stuck together forever.... and NOW ! we had a realistic game to fight in! We were so stunned with the graphics after watching the SmackDown! Game.. it was like nothing we saw before.. all had resemblance to the real self..unlike the blobby sprites in the NES games We played the game for sometime.. and then didn't play much as we didn't have the second controller yet
*Monkeying Around
Ape Escape was another game that we got with the PSone.. and The game was an instant hit for us It was the only game that we saw that utilized the dual analogue sticks in a unique way.,.movement with one stick and then attack with another stick.. the 
games intro itself was very nice..with all monkeys going crazy The game has great sense of humour.. there were so many "cheeky monkeys" in it.. and the things they did was Sooo hilarious! The best thing was that. There were HUNDREDs of monkeys but NO Repetition in the personalities of the monkeys! All were unique! The way the game sent us to the stage itself was very nice.. with this nice BG music and warp zone type screen. The sounds were very arcadey.. and added to the fun. We liked the way that we had to row Boats in it.. one analogue stick for one paddle and then rowing them EXACTLY like we do in real life.. very immersive! We played for quite some time and then changed to the next..
*Card battling?! Text?! *yawn*
This Changing and Playing Continued for ours together and soon it was bed time.. but we had this one last game to see. And it 
was Digimon Digital Card Battle.. We put it in and then we started the game... The starting intro was the Coolest! Intro!ever!.. We had no Idea what was happening but it had super cool things like transformations , stuffs happening and this cool Theme coming in the BG. We were thinking it was some cool game and started playing it... there was this training thing at first.. and I and my bro have this thing of playing the training first no matter what
The game was saying something about nature, earth, fire and all that. It was all text based and soon, after reading it for a while we got sleepy.. and tried to skip it and see the gameplay... we went on pressing "X" but one after the other text kept on coming! We went crazy with all the text.. and thought it was some waste game not worth playing.. so we just closed the thing and took rest for the day... Little did we know.... That this would turn out to be the LONGEST GAME we both ever played.. and the first game that we fought over for,like anything More on this later all I can say is that.. we played it so much.. that even now(more than 4 years later ).. whenever our parents think of us playing games.. ask about it
This was just the Tip of the iceberg that was filled with gaming joy with me and PSone. What you saw here was the first day and initial Impressions of the games.. I've spent hours and Hours playing all these games, and my Detailed desc. of these games will soon follow but that's it for now Next one will be about the different games some EXTREME...
Here is a Video which all of you will Enjoy
In the year 0 BPS(Before PlayStation)
*3D Graphics in TV?!
It was long back in 1998-99 that I and my bro had our first glance at a PS1 and that too in a computer magazine. We were very much intrigued by the fact that there was a TV Video game which could play from CDs and have 3D graphics like that of modern(for us at least) Computer 3D games. Any time we played a 3D PC game we had frame rate problems and used to think that these games would come so smoothly in PS and also how cool it would be to play with gamepads(it had been so many years since we were PC only gamers) and in TV again.
*Puh-lay-station ? Whats that?
Once in our trip to Indian silicon valley Bangalore(now Bengalooru) we went around asking in every shop for a Playstation and NO one understood what we were saying
There was a whole shopping area for video games and we asked each and every shop but no one knew what a PS was let alone sell one.The latest thing we found there was a SEGA genesis with Sonic Demo being shown.So we lost hope of finding a PS1 in india...* PlayStation... Which Colour?
Then in 2000 when we went for a trip to Bkk. We went to the Biggest mall in Thailand called "Future Mall" (if my memory serves me right) and it was like a DREAM come true for us.It was like a small town in itself. The top floor was completely dedicated to games and gaming. It was heaven on earth for us. we were going from one shop to another seeing all these PS1s and all that
We Actually didnt plan on seeing a PS1 there neither did we have plans of buying one.(it was totally Unexpected) One of the reasons I think was the cost. it was too much (around 10k) But it sure was fun seeing all the games for the first time and enjoying. But after seeing them there. we Wanted one VERY bad!It was the place where we saw the N64 for the first time too...it was cheaper than a Ps1 . But we thought to ourselves that it would be very hard to buy games for it, as there was atleast one or two guys who knew about Ps1 in India but none knew about N64.So it was out of the question.
In addition to all this it was also the first time I got to play a GAMEBOY Colour. It was a hand
video game with the graphics of our NES! The only Handheld gaming devices we had in India were the "Brick games" with tetris in them and then those racing games and others. some even had
Voice () I was looking at the Shop keeper playing and then he saw me and asked if I wanted to play and I nodded and he gave it to me the game was Pokemon game, I had idea of what pokemon was even thought it was almost 4 years after(i.e. 2004) that Pokemon officially entered India. I was just looking at how it looked like a NES game and couldnt play anything To add to it all the sounds were not just bleeps!We just had fun roaming here and there and seeing the costs of things. it was journey that we will never forget
*One step Closer
After seeing how excited and interested we were with the PS. Our father told us that he would buy a PS1 soon !!!! We were mad crazy after hearing that. Back then, we did infact have internet and I did come to GS but I was just a kid so I did not come here everyday. I used to just come every now and then and see the main page and look at game screens and drool
After knowing that we would get a PSone we started searching a bit here and there for the games. It wasn't some extensive search as our Net was just 28.8K. We just told one or two game names to dad. And waited for the day he would come with the PSone *The First Encounter.
In Between, we went to Relatives' house who just happened to have a PS1! We were so excited when we saw it! The Son of the house showed us the games and stuffs. He showed a Racing game(forgot what it was) and it was the First time EVER we felt the Vibration! and saw the analogue sticks. We didnt know that Psone had those things too
We wanted the PS1 even 
more now He also showed us tekken 3 (that guy was a pro at it ) and also MGS1. He told that it was his favourite game and completed the game twice already. The game was 12-15 hrs long that was also a amazing thing for us. as all we played were rather short games. He showed some level where snake got up from an elevator and went to some place. even in the elevator there was vibrations. it was such a cool experience! We were so happy that we were getting a PSone finally after so many years *Bashing Extremely
One day father called us and told that he bought it! From then we were so anxious to play the games, that we just couldnt control ourselves and we search the net for PSone emulators and then got all the things required for successful emulation( as we owned a PS1, its legal for us to do that) There were a few more months for
his arrival and before he came here with the Console, we told him about the emulator and he sent us a few games via a colleague who was coming to india. One of the game was 3Xtreme.(my Father bought games by asking the shop keepers and sometime what he thought we like , and this was one of those shopkeeper recommendations ) We didnt bother seeing the internet for info on the game(as we were still in the era when we used to buy games with no idea what so ever) The game was very nice.(we Felt so, As it was our First experience and we didnt know anything else) It had this looping music and 3D grafixz!! We could either be a Byker or a skate boarder or roller blader and all would race at the same time. Kinda like Motorstorm of Xtreme racing The levels were nice. and all were more like Downhill runs. It was the first game we played on our own and liked it a lot The levels and characters were limited though 
we depleted its replay value completely even before our father came, lol.Other than that we got "Crash bash" It was a party game( we didn't know about crash bandicoot till then) we got two players working for the emulator and played lot many levels of
the game. The mini games were very nice in it. and it had a good replay value. the first levels were fun to play. But then the things kept repeating over and over again It was enough to play the first level itself We always would think how much fun it would be later when we could play it in the TV ,with Two controller and sitting a bit FAR from the screen I was already a fan of SFEX by then and hence also had asked my father to get SFEX2P (the best then) and I played the game to death! I mastered all the moves in that too( was hard with a keyboard
) and played it for hours together. it was nothing but a blast to play.(as mentioned previously)
*Play.Sta.tion 64!!!!!
The day of arrival came soon! It was in Q1 2001. Just as
always, days float by as we wait. And it was a Special Homecoming! as this time My pops was bringing so many things that he had to use a shipping service to get the things here(as it was much more than the allowed baggage limit!) we
were very much excited.Whenever he comes home we gather around and my father opens the baggages and we all look and "ooh, aah" and keep every thing properly So we were waiting eagerly for the instant when he would remove the Psone. and remove he DID! When he gave to us we took it with our eyes Wide open and with excitement like the n64 kid but without the jumping The Baggage he brought with him had the Psone and a few games. the Shipment thing was to arrive a day later and it had the mem card, another controller, more games and what not.
*Let the Games Begin!
We saw all the single player games first and left the multiplayer games for later.The total number of games that he got was >20! We went on a frenzy and started watching one game after the other
There was not limit to our excitement (we saw all the games, after all things were opened and all other things were done, ofcourse ) We Plugged in the Console and also the controller, taking extra care to not bend the wires or harm the system in anyway as it was our "baby" This was the Beginning of a great relationship. Years of enjoyment followed...... and still goes on.Its so hard to remember each and every game but ofcourse some are so easy to remember as they are very hard to forget.
*looks at the game collection*
Some of the games that were got during day one were.
*Tomba!
*Spyro 2
*SmackDown! Know your Role
*WWF Attitude
*Xtreme2
*Bugs Bunny and Taz Time Busters
*Ape Escape
*Digimon Digital Card Battle.
That day. we went on seeing each game playing for 30 mins atleast and then swapping so that we can see all before the next batch(in shipping) comes.
What happened that day? What was the first impression? Did we sleep that day? Did the Psone Work after being played so much? Did the Elephant Tranquillizer succeed in calming us down ?
All the answers and more will be in my next entry
so keep looking.
First of all, I wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR
Hope everyone gets a nice share of True next gen gaming that begins this year 
In the Previous Entry, Most of the games I mentioned were for the PS2, here you can get to see some of the multiplatform games that I played. I’ve bought and played around 30-50 games this year and remembering all of them Is next to impossible for me I Will try my best So lets get Started.
Q3 : Waking up the Sleeper Hits.
*Psychotic Exorcism.
Psychonaughts, another platformer worth playing, the game reminded me VERY much of KYA dark lineage, It(KYA) was 
almost the same, with a huge village instead of a summer camp, and we went to one part of the forest instead of brains. While PsyN one had 
different Psychic powers, KYA had the Power of EXORCISM! We could Exorcise Wolves back into their human form! KYA was very nice with many things to do in the main village even, The physics and graphics in it were also amazing. Both these games were amazing! but Psychonaughts had a lot of humour in it which is ofcourse a good thing
*"Come out and PLAY warriors..."
Next, I and My bro had some Co-op Fun we played "The Warriors", This game, IS the best Movie based game! It can stand alone as a game. Not only does it have the story of the whole movie(which itself was great) but it had Many extra hours of things which happened Before the Movie! and 
the co-op part of the game was great as ever with an intelligent split screen feature. The game was by Rockstar ,so, it has "Great Varied gameplay" written all over it by default The game also had a lot of free roam features, which were rather useless but still fun And the best part was.....WE FINALLY GOT TO BEAT UP THAT STUPID GUY! yeah that guy who shouts "The warriors did it"&”Come out and play Warriors”, didnt get any beating in movies end, but in the game credits! we get to beat him up to our hearts content! An awesome ending I must add
I also played Indigo Prophecy this year, it was a game that I was looking forward to very much, and when I finally got hands on it, I played it till 3 Am and finished it the next day It was rather short, but still a very interesting experience, it was like watching a 8 hour movie, where we get to decide things and at points, things really behave differently according to what we do!A Unique Experience, Best played on consoles.
Later I got Killer7, something that I was waiting to get my hands on since very long, The game is , simply put, WIERD! 
No matter how good you are at english, if you dont have subtitles on, you can Never understand anything in the game except, "the Master. This is dangerous. This is VERY dangerous" (people who played the game will get it ) The gameplay of the game is also quite different with this "Railed" routes, Its kinda fun to have a different experience everynow and then.
Then I got some Cool Old-skool games, PaRappa the Rapper and Um Jammer Lammy! both unique and awesome in their own way, The Songs are some of the best I have heard in recent past, anyone with a interest in Rhythm games should get it "Chop! Kick!"
I shelved Ratchet Deadlocked for Quite sometime and then 
finally played it was somewhat of a breeze to play, I completed the game 100% Within no time,(and yeah, I NEVER use game guides for secrets and all that) It was definitely not as great as the others, but graphically it was stunning, and it had all its trademark humor sequences in it
After a LOT of pain and searching I was finally able to get my 
hands on KATAMARY Damacy, I had the OST of it before I could get the game The songs in it are amazing, and the game itself Is crazy! i've never met a king wearing Pink Stalking before
Q4:Adventuring in the PCs
On the PC, I got reintroduced to my fav Genre(for PC games) thanx to the Classic Adventure Games union, I Played a LOT of adventure games in the past and now again, I started playing, 
I enjoyed Sam and MaX a Lot, Have great memories of it implanted in my brain presently am playing the First episode of the next series I also Played Monkey Island 1 and 2 This year, I've the played the other two many years ago, but couldn't get my hands on these until recently.I started playing MI 2 at the commencement of my vacations and Finished it at its LAST DAY I enjoyed the game a lot.classic Threepwood Action at its Best! .... "Look! Theres a 3 headed monkey behind you!"
Another game I would like to mention is NEVERHOOD, As previously mentioned in another entry, we had great fun playing
this game,It was So hard, but we managed to use our analyzing power and solve each and every puzzle in it, without even using a guide.The jokes in it were very nice(Even uploaded a Video) , But the puzzles were the main thing of the game, as they were all very analytical and required us to use Pen and paper I most of em
In July I Finally got a HUGE upgrade for my PC(after 3 years)(Click Spoiler for Full Details)
***SPOILER***
and Now I could finally play HiFi PC games
I went on a Two day marathon, and on the First day I Finished CoD2(my Fav FPS series) In 11 hours ,one day, one sitting, and Quake 4 in 7 hrs the next day it was great coming back to the PC after so long Quake 4 was great graphically and all... but I dont like the fact that the enemies keep moving even if I hit them, like in CoD if you hit them, its like a bullet in fact hit them, their body moves and they slow down... but Q4 Even after a Rocket launcher pounding the thing runs towards us like a mad Dog... but hey, where would quake be if it had sissy enemies Then on August 9th my Near and Dear Bro left me 
He went to US for his Higher Studies,Whole year I remembered him in every Festival, as it was the first Time in my life that i didnt have my caring bro beside me
But the best part is.... I can get games and consoles direct from the Center of Western gaming world!! U.S.A! Wohoo! and things are so cheap there (including the PS3 ) He always takes pics of gaming shops and Ps3 and sends em to me
I just loved the concept of Guitar hero, but the thing isn’t available anywhere in my state, So what I did was get this game called FRETS on FIRE (around 3-4 months ago) and I started playing it with my wireless Keyboard Its almost the same, and the Best part is its FREE! Yeah FREE! You also get new songs for it every now and then. And one can also download the whole GH 1 and 2 songs set for it
Friends and Internet.
After that,on OCT 14th I got Brain age for the DS our whole family was already addicted to Sudoku and I like brain related activities , The game turned out to be simply amazing! I play it DAILY! Along with that I got Zelda:A link to the Past(something I was waiting for since very long ) and Also Wario land 4. Both excellent portable games! The DS on lowest brightness gives me 12-15 hours of gameplay, and its very bright in the lowest brightness itself.I played Zelda for 4 hours straight on my DS once I also got an awesome DS Cover which I use to hang the DS on my Belt whenever I go out TRENDY
This year I was introduced to Videogamesblogger.com thanx to Astro, The site is just amazing, its a VG news site, and it covers almost every gaming news on the planet,GS only posts the News which it is 100% sure of, and for which it has First hand info, but this website being independent gets news from almost every gaming portal(one can never see GS referring to a IGN new or vice versa) The Website gets almost 10k Hits a day, and this Xmas they had half a million Hits!, It looks simple, but its really great, I even participated in a Competition there, and View a SIGNED(by Tetsuya Mizuguchi himself) copy of Lumines for the PSP!(more details in Link) my Name was even featured in the Video interview
*Two of a Kind.
Also this year, I met My friend Gagan his Profile was almost empty with one blog about him saying that he would get both PS3 and 360 , the blog even had a reply from Justin Calvert(GS staff). I Found him and many other Indian GS members using my Secret power(), I contacted him, made him Join IGG, and then soon, he Started blogging and now has almsot everyone I know visiting his blog He Just Wrote his 100th Blog recently An Ardent 360 player , No doubt about that , I was just talking to him one day and mentioned how I had to change two discs of GoW and Still had problems in the game(it didnt load after I crossed the Bridge on the TITAN) he simply said..."I'll Give you my Copy" I was thinking he was joking or something but turned out he really meant it :O he said he had the same problem but managed to get a good one as he knew a shop owner and he could exchange the game many times and got a good one , Within a Week I got the Game and I was Mad Crazy to find a PoP:WW Disc also in it! The game used to get stuck after I beat the princess, I just told him that he sent me that game too Great guy!
ON OCT 27th he Visited HYD(city where I live), and Called me just when I reached home from college, saying that we could meet in the mall, I without any second thoughts just started off to the mall, which took me an hour to reach due to the hectic Traffic.We had a great time talking, Finally I got to meet a guy like me I touched a PSP for the First time! played SVR 06 in it, saw a bunch of High Def Videos,had Iced Tea at Pizza Hut. I was planning on having fun in the arcade with him, but it seems He had some work, so he had to leave, it was a short meet, but a great one indeed And that day when I returned home I got my Copy of Lumines Via Courier I was so happy that day I didnt even have a PSP I and Gagan thought of meeting again so that we could play some DS MP also play My Lumines on his PSP.. but tight schedules didnt allow it
One fine day, I was decided to Buy Component Cables for my PS2 as I knew that I wasn't going next gen soon, and I had to use my HDTV in someway or the other(normal input is waste for the HDTV).I did Intensive Testing later, Pics and Details can be found here
*Mashing to the Beat!
Near the End of the Year I got Rhythm Tengoku, a game that GS made me fall in love with(Thanks to Jeff and OTS) I watched its video on OTS almost daily till I got the game and after getting it, even till today, I play it daily atleast once, the game is So unique, and I love Beat-ie music AND J-POP! Its a great combination of the two, I'v got medals in many remixes and stages in it I've shown it to many kids and they all like it the Ghost stage is the one everyone liked... Every music in it makes you swing your head in the rhythm
Presently on the PS2 I am playing GOD HAND,as I said I love Combotastic Games,this one definately gets an A+ in that category, there are infinite Possibilities, and the way you play it depends on the player. I like planning combos always, The version that I have is the Japanese Version
But still Due to GS's Previews I am managing to play the game without any external help the Cutscenes are in english. This Will explain you Guys what happened in Detail.*2007 : Games that'll be played.
As for Other Games, I have LOADs of them on Reserve, I had this planned when I bought my PS2 itself, that I would leave some games for the big gap when I will be stuck in old gen The Games that I have in reserve are.
These two I will be playing FOREVER and ALWAYS
I think that brings this to the conclusion I still feel I missed something '06 was great for me!
ThanQ all for reading Hope I gave a nice insight on the games that mentioned,Try out one of em, I am sure you will have a stupendous time playing them
Once again I wish You All a Happy New year Also a big ThanX to all my GS friends who made me have nice online year and Hope you like the changes in my Profile The old banner and icon were more than a year old
P.S: Dont Forget to See the PART I
Here's Something I've Been Playing
Another year has come and gone, I would like to take a break from my ongoing journal and take time to recollect the Events of my recent past(i.e 2006) rather than my earlier past (1999-2001).I Will Give you all a nice run-down of what happened and all which are worth mentioning . This can also be a way of showing you guys that its not like I stopped playing long back and am recollecting what I did in the "Good Ol' days" So Let me get started with the first quarter of 20-oh-6.The year starts with JANUARY() and in this month We bought our 42" HDTV which we bought after a LOT of surveying and planning. The TV is very much complete with all the features anyone would require, its like a A/V amplifier in itself .Other than that I can barely remember what happened in JAN, I can only remember that I was feeling sad that there was no tourney this jan like Last jan('05) Where I got to play among 500 people nation wide(UT2k4).Well, Anyways, this was a very important year for me as it was the TURNING point, XII Exams, as they usually have many exams which help in deciding which univ. we can join. So then I was preparing for these exams in full force but then came February. A month that cannot be forgotten....
*Feb-oh-worry
NOTE: Following is Personal Info(not related to games) Click on Spoiler and read if interested.
Phew! Thats enough for the sad part I guess I actually didn't like telling all this, and hence No-one knows of this in here. But Since its a retrospect of the year I felt it was something really worth mentioning. Now Its all Good parts from here on
Till Half of April I was completely busy with exams and other stuffs, then came vacations, The vacations of XII are REALLLLLYYYY long(4 months!) and I can say I had a SPLENDID time! I didnt play much games throughout my XI and XII preparing for the said "Exam" and This was something I needed a lot.
Q2: The Party Begins!
My father was happy with the marks I secured and asked me for something that I wanted as a gift and I wanted a Portable very much(as my GBC just wasn't enough) so I asked him for a PSP or a DSLite. He told me the prices and then I checked all the features and after a month of survey and analysis, I decided on getting a DS, as I really love Nintendo games, and most of the PSP games try to compete with console games which is just meaningless and out of the definition of PORTABLE GAMES, also the fact that, I could just buy a $30 Adapter for my DSlite Via which I can basically watch movies and listen to songs whilst having them stored in a Stand SD/Flash Card(which are widely available in cheap), made me choose the DS.If they watch it in a smaller Video Ipod Screen what's wrong with watching in a Bigger DS screen I thought.Although I sometimes think of having a PSP, DS still seems to be a better choice
*Its Good to Touch??
So in May I got my DS Lite With NSMB (of course!) & Kirby Canvas Curse DS games Also Street Fighter Alpha, and Kirby GBA games. I was expecting the Other Kirby,magical .jpg)
mirror, but that one was not available and this one is a snes port whose each level and music is embedded into my mind , good for time pass I guess After playing these games I was totally surprised! I and my bro enjoyed it a lot. Kirby canvas Curse was just amazing! Its a real TOUCH SCREEN game we made our parents play and even they had fun. It was rather Short but still 6-8 Hours of a portable game is really good IMO, and its replay value is also good.
As for NSMB, I think its a game that no one needs an introduction to.The game has such smooth animations in it, the way peach and Mario react to the lightning is the first thing anyone would realise. Its has"High production value" written all
over it, All the levels were done very nicely, and The way that Mario walked and ran was just amazing, with his hands moving and everything! The 3D sprites were superb! The way that all those koopas and turtles danced to the music while in their route, added a little more fun to the already interesting game.And it doesn't stop there! once you go to the mini games section, you will be shown a plethora of minigames, all nicely categorised and addictive in their own way. The first game I as addicted to was The Whack'A Mole spin off, I saturated my score for it at 78(can you guys tell me yours ) Then there was the "Sort or S'plode" game which was also very interesting, other than some 3-5 games all were amazing! The catapult game really made the "Touch Screen" Feature more interesting This game also has an average of 8-10 hours of gameplay(SP), but the minigames, Never get boring and one can play it any time, anywhere! literally making the gameplay time infinity
Street fighter... I was hoping for SF2 but got Alpha, I even then 
tried out the thing, the characters and everything were nice in it.. but the D-pad of the is so small that none of the Ken attacks can be executed Properly 
, My advice.... don't buy a SF game for a Portable if you have big thumbs The kirby game, as i said, is a SNES port, so I left it like that for a later when I am free.
*Marathons, Without Running.
Then During My Holidays I started playing one game after the other, most of em were the ones that I bought during release and didnt play yet I was just looking into my collection to recollect which game and which order,, but it Its VERY difficult for me to recollect the games according to the time I played them, So heres a List of the Games that I enjoyed Playing my Holidays
First off, I would Like to Mention DMC3, I am a huge fan of Combotastic sword play games, I always like mixing attacks and getting great combos i've played only DMC2 in its series before this, This one looked really promising, and it was just an awesome experience! It was not THAT difficult(opposed to 
what many say) and the only irritating part was that in the end I had to beat all the bosses again...I just HATE it when games have this thing. And I wasnt sure if the game would save how many Boss we defeated after defeating a few.. so continued and beat all the bosses in one go(played for around 2 hours before that, was strained a lot already)... but the satisfaction I got after pwingin those Bosses was completely worth it. I just love the way how we should use probability and stuffs in the game and try to memorise each persons combo and then swap continuosly between them.. a real test to the brain!
Then came MGS 3. I just LOVE the MGS series. I just couldnt beleive that I bought the game in 04 and shelved it for 
so long., one main reason could be the fact that I usually get my pulse raised when i am detected by the guards (I was like a real snake in the game Crawling almost 90% of the game ) The game, as you all know, was Awesome in ten different ways! The ending of the game....it can make any stone hearted guy weep.Wont say anything more as the game is best when nothing is known about it (before playing, for others)
Next what I remember is Conker's Bad Fur Day for the N64, I always wanted to play this game, and I finally got my hands on it this year and I was surprised to see that even N64 games had working Surround sound support :O As for the game itself, it had almost everything anyone could ask for, The way how the game covered almost all areas thinkable and the comedic(yet disgusting, at times) cutscenes added a lot of fun to the game. The "poo Song"(or whatever you call it) was so funny and 
enjoyable that I purposefully Died in the game to listen to it again The cave men walked and shouted "allakapshki allakapshki, alla alla allakapashki" in one part of the game, that thing is still stuck in my head The character animations were also amazing, the way how those cavemen walked was also so nice an Excellent RARE game I would like to say. it also had spoofs varying from T2 to the Matrix to ALIEN movies theres something for everyone in it! The war part of the game reminded me a lot of CoD, The game Is a complete all rounder. Wonder how Live and Reloded is.......
And then came KH2! Kingdom Hearts is one of FAV series of Games. I had to roam the shops for Two weeks to get the game, it was sold out in the only shop where it was sold(I never thought it was so popular even here
) After getting the game, it was a marathon for me I would just wake up, freshen up , have breakfast, go to my home theater, come out, have dinner and sleep The game had a Superb Story, A very touching story, the game changed my view on friendship.Each and every level in the game was fun( Least fun 
was the mermaid level think everyone will agree with that ) Yoko Shinomura did a great job with the games BG music, I loved em so much that I immideately got the OST of the game and I listen to em DAILY!!(even now I am listening to it ) I just love VG Music.. I have 2 GB(more than 1000 Songs,many MIDIs of my Nes Favs) of OSts in my HDD right now. There is no Day when I dont lisen to em . It took me 37 hours(less than KH 1) to complete the game, I completed all the extra tasks in Jiminy's journal by the time I fought the final boss.I had a Record of fighting ANSEM in the First KH over 6 times and never die-ing Even once(even the first time I didnt Die) but the boss in this one was really LONG!(45 Mins of Boss
) The only problem was the part where we play as RIKU(yeah we get to play as Riku ) That part is really awkwards and I died almost ten times there the rest was pretty brainless and easy only the NON-Boss Fights require a lot of magic and thinking, the rest can be dealth with easily, with some areaga and Curaga combos 
Then I had fun with Platformers, I can proudly say I've played almost every platformer for the Ps2(check my collection and sort by genre ) I was very much excited to play the last Sly game, Every game in the series improved a lot upon the 
previous this one really hit sky high with all the things we could do in it! Recruiting our Band of thieves and then using each ones speciality in every hiest, it was crazy fun! Sly is "one of a kind" game, Its really best at what it does.The cell shaded graphics, the nice sly music, the varied levels,the minigames, the story, the voice acting, everything was top-notch.The only bad thing was the 3D glasses Thing... It wasnt all that 3D . This game too had a great end , cant wait to see what happens with the time machine that Bentley builds
After many years of procrastinating I finally played ICO and it really deserves its cult classic status, Such games bring back LIFE in 
to games, Then I played Shadow of the colossus, the game Rocked!The game complemented my Huge TV very much The huge colossus which came out of the desert sand was the best IMO We had to chase it on the horse and shoot and arrow at it simultaneously and then turn hard pushing the sand all over....aaaahhhhh what a good feeling it was Was like being inside a Cinema
Well, Once Again I seem To have Crossed the Character Limit Hence I Split this into two parts.. First One Today Next one Tomorrow
Hope You had a Great Read till now Many More Exciting Games will Be mentioned Tomorrow Keep Looking Advance Happy New Year Wishes to you all
This is something I made for you guys It Nicely Fits as a Closing(of year) Song
Multiple Games One CD.
PC games...I have an untraceable number of games in my collection I've spent so much time playing on it, have so many sweet memories of it too. I am still in my early 2000s era of PC gaming. So lets start off this entry with a mention of the great Disney games that I enjoyed playing when I was young and then to some 2D Sidescrollers which were really unique and enjoyable.
*The Beginning of a new Era.
After buying many 'single CD single game' type packages we shifted to the trend of 'Single CD MANY games' ones 
that were available back in those days. There were many collections like 'HOT games' 'King of games' and such. One of them was 'Disney arcade games' In those we found almost all the major Disney games released for PC in one pack! the pack had so many Great games! The Hercules game was one of the best out of them all, The Sprites of the game looked exactly like the ones in the movie and it played very well too! It had its basic attack and jump commands, but the way that we could power up and smash big pillars and boulders to Bits and pieces was very cool! It really gave the feeling that we were playing as Hercules! Even Hercules' Tutor's Comments would often pop up in the game saying "Rule number...", giving a nice touch and feel to it. Its levels were of 
quite OK difficulty but later in a mission with a Huge Guy in the Far off distance, was where I cracked never went past through it but even then I enjoyed playing the initial levels again and again This was the game that introduced me to the phrase"Damsel in Distress"(D.O.D), I never really understood what it meant until I played the game where they gave the pictorial representation for it
*King of the Jungle, Tarzan or Lion?
Then there was the TARZAN 3D game It was a nice 3D game it had its specialties too, it had multiple characters and 
also, as the game progressed from the little Tarzan in the beginning to the Tarzan form as seen in the movie What can I say, being a Kid I was dragged to all these Franchise based games they were quite satisfying to play, as they were all closely related to the Movie stories.. But wholly as a GAME they were not all that 'unique' or NEW in anyway. All had their basic Collectibles and also the simple Action, Jump commands
Another game I remember which was of Disney was the LION 
king game, We actually played it for the nes first, Once I was at the barbers' and MY bro was at home playing Lion King on the NES, We NEVER ever were able to get past that huge Tree Puzzle in the second stage of the game, That fine day my bro Solved the puzzle and I was not there to share the excitement so he DIED in the game and recorded the thing on a VHS and played the whole level again I later came back home and
he told me that FINALLY he had solved the puzzle of that lion king stage and showed me everything in the TapeLater when we found the game in the CD we installed it and played it, I was wondering if my bro(sitting beside me)remembered how to go past that puzzle again,he remembered it 100%! It was almost 4 years later but he knew exactly what to doit was so easy crossing that at that time(since we were older and our minds were more developed )
There was also this Aladdin Game for the PC,We thought that it was something different(from NES) and wanted to play it a LOT! But the Sad part was that after installing the game, it was not running at all, It was a DOS game,We tried Booting in DOS mode and starting it,but to no availEveryday we would spend sometime Trying to get the game working. After several days of trying,I (11 years old then) opened the ".bat" file using Notepad, and then looked into the whole 100KB or so codes.I realised that the source address in it was FIXED and was given as some "C." I changed it to the Location of the game's actual position & started it. and to my Surprise it RAN! I immediately called my bro and then we started playing the game,sadly it was basically the same NES game,but it had people popping out of the windows in 1st level(which was not so in the NES version)This,U can say was one of the earliest examples of how multiplatform games were not just DIRECT ports but also had something extra done in them to justify the greater power of the other platform. My Brother was so surprised that I, being so small got the idea of going to that file and even searching the code like thatWell,I think the determination of playing games taught me a LOT of things
Other such Disney games include short minigames type Timon 
and Pumba games, Jungle Book (same as the NES counter part)some Disney ACTIVITY games.After enjoying Toy Story 2, I got the game "ToyStory Activity center", Not knowing what it was, later got to know that it was extremely kiddish thing which had minigames which included learning additions and stuffs nothing like a standalone game.
*Not Just a Button Mashing Affair
Disney games aside, The Collection type CDs had some of the best games! In one of these CDs I found LEGO Alpha team! It was a superb game. it was a game where we had to place things on the level (like jump Pads and others MANY other things) and then press the START button, which when done, would make all the Lego characters start moving, and we had to place the block in such a way that all the 
obstacles are cleared. It may sound SIMPLE but it was a very hard nut to crack, there were different kind of Lego characters and there were Machines which could be operated only by a certain type of character. It was very hard to solve the puzzles at times.. U would think that one way is easy but then get stuck and would have to start all over again . It was a very challenging game.. but I spent many days playing it and completed the game there were many varieties of levels, even remember some of the levels as I write
*CareBears Stare, ShareWares Scare!
The Collection Type Games were not all FreeWares. After buying some CDs of this kind we passed onto the trend of more primitive DOS games. The First DOS game that I ever played(First computer game for that matter) was a Volley ball type 
game back in 1992 There was no Windows and stuffs in those computers. The game was completely black and white and the two characters were BIG heads with two shoes and a Huge nose don’t even know what the games actual name was OBVIOUSLY we played it on 2P, SO it was not only the FIRST Computer game for both of us, but also the first 2p PC game we playedMy next encounter with DOS games was in Bangalore(now Bangalooru)in 'Kids Kemp'(Shopping Mall)where there was a HUGE line to play DAVE! The game seemed to be so good! and there were so many kids lined up to play that game. I just ran near the start of the line and looked at how great the game was, sadly, the Line was VERY big and it we had to leave. so I didn’t get to play it.. but I DID see itAll these experiences made us buy some of the shareware Dos games CDs, These CDs had many varieties of Dos games, we had to boot the system in Dos mode and play those gamesThere was big problem at first, because the CD drive would not be recognized in Dos mode, soon we got the Boot Floppy of Win98( the then LATEST OS) and in that there was an option to start DOS with CD rom support. and we were able to play games after that (of course there were other workarounds too, but this solution came to us in a very short period).
We bought around 3 Cds like this, there were MANY games in 
all those Three combined, Commander Keen, and Bio menace were some of the games That i remember I kinda like The games had a certain special Feel in them that made me play them again and again even though they were sharewares and all the sound they had were only the mother board sound cards sound, the 'beeps and boops'. Of course I got to play DAVE in the future! I played and played but always only managed to reach the level where there is a big tree and something magically comes and kills dave The saddest thing was that there was no SAVING in that game and it got really irritating after the umpteenth time I died in that place. Now onto the single game experiences
*Lemmings Getting Killed in PCs?
Lemmings! Use that word anywhere in the forum and the first thing anyone would decipher this words meaning as, would
be a XBX fanboy.Well, its not THAT lemmings I am talking about the game LEMMINGs.It was a really new experience for me and my bro when we first saw it, it was the 
dos version and it had these little blue critters walking around BRAINLESSLY, and U would have to manipulate their path in such a way that they reach their goal safely, there were many obstacles in the way, it really made u THINK, and it exemplified the saying "think before u act" as a Wrong move might send ur lemmings fall off to death .It is very obvious that Lego Aloha team had inspirations from this game, as it was Almost the same but had a little different things in it. The MAIN Difference however was that, Lemmings were walking All the time so U had to think even more faster and there were no second chances, one mistake and u are done for! It was a big hit and soon followed the not so different/improved sequels which kinda took the series' reputation downhill(for me atleast).
Planet of the Worms.
*Its Armageddon! Pick a Side!
Now I introduce U guys to one of my MOST favourite game series of all time! what it is u ask? its WORMS! We went in totally reverse direction with the worms, the First game that we played for Worms was Worms Armageddon, Our father 
just bought the game and we got it, We knew nothing about it, But later when we played it, we realized the AWESOMEness of Worms, It was such a cool game! It was basically like Chess it was turn based,Every player had his team of worms, 1 teams' worm played first, it tries to shoot other team's worm, then the next one gets a chance , so on and so forth, till one team is completely dead or the Time limit is reached(the one with the best overall health wins). we could name every worm in our team, I always named my worms as my Class mates and friends and the same with my Bro, I remember that we used to name the teams according to which standard we were studying and we changed the name Three times!(in short, we didn’t forget it even after playing it for three years!) The graphics in the game
were so FLASHY! The characters were so smooth the animations were slick! The Bazooka Smoke effects, the grenade effects all were Superb! The Voice especially was the Best part, there were DOZENS of audio presets, U could have Ur Worms Talk Texan cowboy language, Or u could have complete British English accents( "Come-on then!") there were LOADS of varieties and we even downloaded special voice packs, which included voice overs from the "F.R.I.E.N.D.S" A quirky remark for every action.
*Infinite Possibilities, Finite Time.
Customisation was the name of the game, and It didn’t end there with the sound packs! One can have LOADS of customisation for his team, we can select our own FLAGS which was a symbol of identification for the team health bars, and then we could have Different types of TombStones, every worm when dead, would 
take a TNT handle and blast itself to create its Tombstone(and blasting everything near by) each TombStone had its own special animation, it wasn’t just a static Block on the land, and there were ANTHEMs to select which would play when the team wins. We can select the layout of weapons that a game can have, and we can even CREATE our own levels, we have to just draw the Boundary for the land and then choose from the standard layouts and have Ur own level, U can make a Pic into a Level and what not. Its Had INFINITE possibilities!
*Give up or U get an ASS on ur Head!
Then there were the WEAPONS the pride of the worms games, The standard Bazooka and Grenade were heavily 
effected by Wind, yes WIND, we had to watch the wind Speed ANGLE and all those stuffs before shooting the opponent. U had a Multitude of weapons, The ones worth noting were, HOLY hand grenade which before blasting gave the sound "Hallelujah!" It so freaking awesome! then there was the DONKEY bomb where a huge statuette of donkey came dropping and would create a HUGE crater killing all beneath, There was also the Old Lady bomb, where a stooping lady with 
a walking stick would go on nagging till she reached a Worm and then BLAST on the unsuspecting enemy(kinda like a Suicide bomber ) There were many like this, MAD Cow. SKUNK, SHEEP bomb! all were amazing. My personal Favorite was the Ninja rope which required great agility and it was VERY helpful weapon. I guess if I start describing it a little more it will turn this into a full fledged review better stop describing the game here
*Read only Files, Don’t play twice.
Well ofcoure,there HAS to be something special and memorable that happened with me and the game, or else I would have not taken the burden of describing it The thing was that.. the single player of the worms Armageddon was very nice and Fun!It had a training mode too upon whose completion U would get to play Medals! But the thing was that the FIRST training mission itself was a PAIN to complete, I tried all the different missions, each and everyone had the SAME level, and the same shape. its just IMPOSSIBLE to 
complete the missions.So I started investigating and dont know how, found out that the problem because all the Data files in the games Dir were READ only Type, So I started converting each back to non read only type, and then it worked! it was after a Lot of trial and errors that I could find this solution.. soon I started playing the Training missions, earning gold in all and really having a Blast.. the sad thing is that later when I tried to install it(after a system format) the same thing happened, and now even when I change the things back to non read-only type the error persists. But luckily for me, I predicted something like this would happen and I wrote all the changed data files in a CD way back. Just have to search which CD it was
*The whole can O' Worms.
Worms Armageddon was Not the ONLY worms we played, after playing Armageddon for a while we went back and bought Worms 2 which was awesome for ONLINE play! and We played it a LOT online! Even though there was a notably HUGE lag issue for us(even in 2001 we didn’t have FAST net) The game was more different in the way how its 
interface looked(not as good as Armageddon) but other than that it was basically same as Armageddon. Later we even found the original DOS worms game in one of our MULTI Game Cds, we played it for a while just to see how it developed from the past. and it was quite good for a dos game! it had all the basic wind angle and direction things too.The customisations were not seen in it though.
Toodles My Friends.
Well,Guys thats it for now This is almost like close of my 'ONLY PC' gaming days. I played a lot of other games during this era but mentioning all them would be practically impossible U can expect Things about emulation and also Real Console gaming in my next entry, a topic which I guess More U can acquaint to
Dog Is a BOY's Best Friend.
Watch This Cinematic Trailer of the game and get an Idea what I am talking about.
*Light Vs Darkness who Wins?
Heart of Darkness, only a handful of U guys might have heard of it, It was a 2D side-scroller game which was good in almost All aspects! I cant remember how we came across this game, but we always would ask our father to get the game, After a lot of waiting and searching we finally got our hands on the game! We didnt see even a single video of it, and niether did we play its demo, but we were all excited as if we've been searching for the game ever since the beginning of time We hurriedly turned on the PC and then Put the CD in. There was a trailer in the CD of 
the game, after seeing it our excitement grew even more! If U watched the trailer above, U will see that it has a very great effort put into it. the game trailer makes u want to think its a MOVIE trailer. We then started installing the game and we were just staring at the progress bar progress and reach 100%, we even saw those pics in the background which told us what to do in order to jump long distances and all that.Soon our excitement stopped... why U ask? the progress bar reached 90% and then it showed an Error.. something about a file being corrupt and all that. there were two options, retry and ignore. We pushed retry, and the same thing game again, we did this multiple times but to no avail. we were just sitting there pushing retry and trying to see if it installs, but it didnt we then pushed ignore, and then after the installation finished the game would not start at all we were so hart broken. we didnt know what to do! we even tried copying the CD onto hard disk but even the copying gave an error! And there was No other place which had the game and that was like the only one that we could find We had the game in our hands but couldnt play it. it was such a sad moment for us.
*Round and Round Goes the mouse.
We later, thought that it was the CD Drive Problem, and we anted to get the old 16X CD drive changed into those New 24X CD drives!(ZOMG such high Speedz!) We just made ourselves think that the CD drive was the main problem. This was way back in 99, that time the computer repair man came with a new CD drive, he was putting it in and we were standing there watching how he was putting in the CD drive and all that.. and the FIRST thing we made him do was try installing the game and SO he did...We then again watched the progress bar move up percentages, and then reached the 90% mark and the SAME error came! We were flabbergasted! We didnt know what to say! I shouted "U gave us a BAD CD Drive!" The Repair guy didnt understand why we were so emotional and then pressed retry! and The Thing INSTALLED!!!!! It was MAGIC! we just couldnt believe ourselves! We dancing with 
joy! The repair guy was moving the mouse hither to thither and also in circles when the game was being installed, we thought it was some kid of magic thing.. and from then whenever we wanted something to be done we used to move the mouse in circles Even when our Internet was slow, we would move the mouse thinking that the page would load faster(and also believed it worked for a long time :lol but later when we grew more analytically, we started thinking he was just doing that to see if the PC crashed, coz if it was not that, then he must have been a Crazy dude(for his age, thinking like what we thought )
*Are U Up for the challenge?
So, The game was installed, What now??? PLAYING the game of course! We knew that it was horror themed game and hence I sat on the side wathcing my bro play it There was not way that I would play horror games when I was small. The 
games intro was too good! It really made us get very excited about the game, Since we were kids it appealed a lot to us. The game was a sidescroller type game which had Many puzzles, and action sequences... The game starts with ur Dog "whisky" being taken away during a Solar Eclipse, U then go towards the eclipsed sun in ur jet/Plane/Car hybrid and end up in a completelyy different world. The game doesnt explain much and leaves u with ur Gun and helmet near a canyon where U plane crashes(which blasts as soon as U get off it). The nest scene U see a Shadow Creature(kinda like the ones U see in ICO) We were just looking at what it was and didnt know what to press and soon it ate us! It was so scary.. they were completelyy Black with greenish-yellow Eyes.In the second screen itself U had HORDES and HORDES of these black guys attacking u, we had no Idea what to do and were just blasting here and there, getting eaten again and again. After a LOT of retries(this was one fo the First games we played which 
had no Chances/Lives in it, which was a VERY good and required thing) Later we found a place where a SHADOW was killing us! only after dieing plenty of times we realised that we had to kill the things that project the shadows to save ourselves, Then there was this Puzzle where there was Dinosaur ribs on the FAR left corner and we had to catch that and climb to the top, but it was Too hard to reach no matter how much we ran and tried to catch the thing we always fell off the canyon.. not knowing what to and getting mad.. we were pressing all buttons and then realised that we had to jump on the platform we were standing(which was a very OLD rock) and it falls off bringing the tail of the dinosaur up and we catch that thing Now HOW in the World were we supposed to figure that out??
*Jabba's Got Butt?
There were many other situations like that.A huge jabba type charcter eats our gun and helmet and we have to start running like hell to prevent being eaten by those shadow creatures(which burn up when in light) later there were things Like Venus fly traps Octupuessess() and many other strange creatures which blocked out path.. the game was just NOT my cup of tea as it had lot of Horror parts and also it required a LOT and LOT LOT patience! My bro was well suited for it Sometimes I couldn't even watch when he played Later my bro progressed far into the game but one time we had to format our system and then all the save files were lost.. we basically spend LOADS of hours playing it so we didnt feel like returning to it
But on the other hand the Game had pretty neat graphics! and the character animations were very high standard, the Audio was great and how the game played was also great! it looked as if though 1 Million dollars were spent on making the game No matter how frustrating it was.. it was still a very great game to play, and If U have the time, u should surely try it out once
Bye for now.
