I told myself I wouldn't go through the headache of playing another strategy rpg. I don't particularly enjoy the genre due to the fact that I'm pretty terrible at them. However, I figured if I could handle FFT then I could handle Disgaea in spite of the warning signs. Oh, how I should have paid attention and not underestimated this game. While a light story, a wonderf main character in Laharl for me to like this game just plain kicks my ass. I was just getting into it and decided I already needed a breather.
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
It's hard not loving Travis Touchdown. On the one hand, as I have been progressing through the ranks (I'm now at No. 7 and gunning for YOU, H1) I have found myself saying (again) "I love this stupid game". It's still got that edge and there's certainly no other thing like it that I've played. But it might be becoming a tad serious. Perhaps a little bit too serious while trying to maintain that balance of undeniable quirkiness that I have come to cherish. Well, I know it won't disappoint and as an overall experience, it really has not done that but I could see this game if the series continues, being carried on to something more in depth. If that happens, I might have to stop playing it. Heck, if there's no more Travis then I may as well boycott now!
Hotel Dusk: Room 215
Slow to start, after 4 hours of play I can finally say I am feeling a twinge of anxiety playing this. It did not take that long for the game to get interesting but it did take that long for me to really feel as though I could possibly screw something up to get a "Game Over". The story's a little bit predictable and this game might be a reminder of why I don't like to read books. I know, I know. I'm an ignoramus. But really, this isn't so bad. I am really liking Kyle Hyde with his rudeness, good looks and smack talk. Graphically, the game is unique and maybe I can tolerate a point and click adventure after all.
