  • Final Fantasy I & II for iPhone on Sale

    I notice that Final Fantasy I and II for iPhone are on sale in the App Store for $4 each. I enjoyed Final Fantasy XIII on the PS3 and Crisis Core on the PSP, but these games look too retro even for me. I am sure they provide many hours of gameplay, but I tend…

  • Star Trek Online Captain’s Status Update

    I finished the last of the Breen/Deferi/Preserver weekly episodes. It was pretty good and had not the worst plot of the game. I think if Cryptic can keep these up, it’ll be a great addition to the game. I also really made Vice Admiral. Before, when I maxed out the skill points, I wasn’t a…

  • A Closer Look at KOTOR

    I played a bit more of Knights of the Old Republic and remembered the good and bad parts of it. The good (great) parts are the story and much of the combat. The combat is a combined real-time and turn-based mix that works pretty well. As you can see in the video below, I can…

  • Knights of the Old Republic back again

    Yesterday I picked up Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic on Steam for $2.50. I installed it and checked it out last night. Surprisingly enough, it worked flawlessly on Windows 7/64. The highest resolution it will support is 1600×1200, which looks pretty good.I had to use Creative ALchemy to re-enable EAX in the game,…

  • Witcher – Another really fun game

    I thoroughly enjoyed Witcher Enhanced Edition when I played it a couple years ago. It is an RPG with seamless battles and lots of action, including fighting (fist fighting competitions), loving (sexy time!), and killing of many, many creatures and people. The plot was fine, but forgettable, but it kept the game moving. You play a…

  • Star Ocean Plot

    I’m still really enjoying the battles and exploration of Star Ocean:The Last Hope. I was also getting into the plot, thinking how imaginative and interesting it was, until last night when the plot took a right turn to reality. Whichever game designer thought up this moronic scheme to deny the SRF existed is severely stretching…

  • Dragon Age:Origins

    One of my favorite games of the last year was Dragon Age:Origins. It is a tremendous RPG with good graphics and a great story (to be expected from Bioware games). It is almost an old-school RPG, like Neverwinter Nights, but simplified and not using D&D rules. In the game, you can choose your origin, whether…

  • Star Trek Online

    A game that I’ve been playing on and off for a few months is Star Trek Online. Because it is Star Trek, I signed on early, during the beta period, and even bought a lifetime subscription. Even back then, the space combat was quite good, though it is only partially 3-axis. Remember that these are…

  • Still Enjoying Star Ocean

    I am quite enjoying the plot of Star Ocean: The Last Hope. Edge has just met up with his old pal Crowe and things are starting to get even more interesting. My party seems filled out and Faize has just left (which is okay – I worry that he may not be a good guy…

  • New start in Oblivion

    A couple days ago, I did a new start in Oblivion. But wait, TallGuyCalif, you were playing Star Ocean! Why switch? With the scarcity of save points in Star Ocean, sometimes I need to play for a couple hours before coming to the next one (I’m in the Purgatorium dungeon where there are few save…
