Haven't been here in a while, but I'm always loyal to Dtoid and alas, I have returned.
Now, past that bullshit.
I stole a bunch of games from my friend today, so I decided (since my age-old ps2 has suddenly come back to life) that I'm gonna play all the games I have and the ones I stole. Well, borrowed, so I don't sound like a HARDASS.
But, I don't always have time. And these are some hefty games, at least at my level of playing time.
SHITTY CELLPHONE PICTUREwarningwarningwarning
So I think I'll do a little flash review for each one, before I possibly go on to fully review them all.
The Rules?
I'll play each game for an hour or so. It can drag on if I really like it or forget. This includes menus, cutscenes, tutorial bullshits...what have you. An hour and I'm gonna write my little review.
The List?
(These are mainly old games. Actually, all old games. I enjoy nostalgia as much as the next guy.)
Kingdom Hearts
Previous Experience: I played this for a while back in the day, but I used Action Replay and was a lame little kid at the time...so I don't really count it. It killed my save anyways, so fuck that.
Kingdom Hearts TWO
I beat this one, without cheating this time, but I've always wanted to replay the game again. Now I have a chance!
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
I never played this before, but I know the basic story of it from my Resident Evil experiences with friends and whatnot.
Resident Evil 2
Played alot of this one back on the N64, but never on the playstation. Looking forward to it, it used to scare the shit out of me.
Resident Evil: Code Veronica X
I never played this one, though I was always aware of it.
Star Ocean
I actually have barely even heard of this game, and I barely even know what its about. I'm assuming its an RPG, and I like those.
Devil May Cry 3
I played this for about five minutes at a friend's house once. The only DMC I ever got into was the first one, and I hear this one is mad fucking hard so I probably won't get too far in it :X
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
I love this game alot, but I've never actually beaten it. I don't beat alot of games, come to think of it. I should change this terrifying fact about my life.
Metal Gear Solid 3 (not pictured)
I love this game so much. Thats all I have to say.
Grand Theft Auto 3 (not pictured)
Well, I have San Andreas too, of course, but I think I've played that one way too much to review it. And besides, with its age, I think 3 is old enough to warrant a review if just to see how well its aged. Like a fine wine...etc.
Alright, so thats it. I'm gonna do my first hour of one of those tonight. First flash review should be up tomorrow morning or night.
Cool beans?
i wanna see what you have to say about KH 1 and 2.
I shall think for an hour before I comment, then I shall put forth a longer comment at a later time.
I kid, for I too want to know what you think about Kingdom Hearts, as I have never played it and wonder whats the deal with it. I wonder if its dated or whether it can be enjoyable and compete in this "new" generation.
The Kingdom Hearts games sound lame in concept (Disney and Square Enix? lolwut?) but they are as solid and amazing as they come. The stories get kind of lame occasionally (friendship, all right!) but overall, they are amazing games.

Donald Duck: We've got a problem, Goofy! But don't tell anyone...
Goofy: (Ignoring Donald) Queen Minnie?
Donald Duck: Not even the queen.
Goofy: (Still ignoring Donald) Daisy?
Donald Duck: No, it's top secret!
Goofy: G'morning, ladies.
only time I 'lol'd'. :]
From my first experience playing the Kingdom Hearts games, its not really anything special about them gameplay or story-wise, its mainly just the nostalgia for me, and the ability to go INTO those worlds you saw in movies. I was never really into Final Fantasy so I could always care less about that stuff.
