  BlazBlue Coming Soon

  Can't wait to get my hands on this game when it comes to console on June 30. I already preorder the copy on Gamestop.

  It's kind of funny though. A lot of people say the characters design are originals...but I just realize some characters are intend to be spoof or copies from some other anime characters. I don't know if others realize it as well.

  Examples I noticed:

  CARL: He seems to be an obviously reference to anime Case Closed's character Conan, who is a 20 years old guy trapped in 10 years old boy's body, and who is a detective catching criminals etc. Their backgrounds fit together lol.

  Arakune: Just seems to be an exact copy of this. lol

  I think now I sort of understand what the creator tried to do with this game...they tried to recreate anime experience in a fighting game probably. In any case, I look forward to this game a lot. lol

  Replaying FF7

  I am replaying FF7 now and surprisingly I still find the experience very enjoyable.

  I am not sure what exactly make me enjoy this game, and I am not sure why it was so popular. (Probably the most popular FF in terms of global market)

  Back then you can argue that its graphical achievement is part of the reason, because it's the first FF to use 3D technologies. Indeed, it's graphics (both technical and artistic) is quite an achievement in itself comparing to other games during the same era. However, although the next FF, FF8 seems to have an even better graphics, it did not sell as well as FF7. Also, I am still enjoying it today. and maybe countless others are enjoying it as well, if GameFaq's Top 10 Games is any indication. (It's number 3 on the chart behind Prototype and The Sims 3 when this is written) Therefore, it can be argued that there are something else that made us enjoy this game as well.

  Is it the story, the character, or the gameplay?

  Maybe I will post more about this later.

  What!!! I Was Right About MGS4 End Fight? (Spoiler)

  Ha...I actually guessed it right in my Gear of War blog about the end boss fight of MGS4. Well, maybe 50% right because I actually took 2 guesses at it. How did I predict that?
