About Me

My name is Ben. This is my blog.

I enjoy working in Adobe Flash when I have the time and I've churned out a few websites as a result. I call myself a gamer, although I'm admittedly a bit of a fanboy; you could print "Nintendo" on a roll of toilet paper and I'd bid for that shit on eBay.

Seriously though, I play a lot of games and my platform of choice right now is the DS. There are a ton of sidescrollers and traditional RPGs that I remember playing a lot when I was younger. Better yet, I missed a lot of games on the Super Nintendo back in the day (they were like $70 or something) and a big trend on the DS right now is remaking and re-releasing them for this generation of gamers. I eat that shit up. Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Shiren the Wanderer FTW.


My Top Seven Favorite Game Franchises:

1. Dragon Quest
2. Half-Life
3. Mario (excluding some)
4. Castlevania
5. Metroid
6. Ace Attorney
7. Resident Evil

Paper Mario, Xenogears, Okami, the entire Resident Evil Series, Super metroid, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2, Secret of Mana, Illusion of Gaia, The World Ends With You, Mario Kart DS, Kirby Canvas Curse, Super Mario Galaxy, Fire Emblem: Path of radience, No More Heroes, Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure, Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis, Dr. Mario, Devil's Crush, Ninja gaiden (NES), Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest Heros: Rocket Slime, the Phoenix Wright series, Hotel Dusk, The Longest Journey, Breath of Fire III, Half-Life 2, Lock's Quest, Henry Hatsworth, Rhythm Heaven, and many others that I just can't think of right now...

Shiren the Wanderer 3 - Has anyone seen these trailers yet? BenHaskett | 6:49 PM on 05.22.2008 3 comments

http://chun.sega.jp/shiren3/special/ Has anyone else seen these yet? I picked up Shiren the Wanderer for the DS a few months ago on whim and ended up really enjoying it. It was really, [b]really[b] hard, and required some luck to complete, but it was also very whimsical and charming. I didn't know it was still an active franchise though. Afterall, the roguelike genre isn't exactly the most popular one out there, and the DS version was a remake of a ~15 year old SNES game. But then I find a link on GoNintendo to these trailers and I've got to say that I'm really shocked. Not only am I shocked that the franchise is still active (and what platfom did StW2 come out for?), but I'm also amazed by the production values. It really looks like Chunsoft is putting a lot of effort into this title. Does anyone think it'll make its way over to the states? I sure hope so...
