  Jeanne d'arc

  I finally finished it this game has taken up most of my free time recently thing it was 27-28hrs to complete it, The story was good and there was a big enough variety of characters that I found some to like, and others to wish would bet killed off >_> so basically the game was about Jeanne and her quest to save France from the English but with twist, Deamons and magic armlets

  I dont like going into details incase people want to get it themselves but I'd rate it 8/10 It is a fairly easily accessible game for a tactical rpg which is brilliant for me but people who prefer the complex ones may not like it as much.

  Currently I'm undecided what to opt for next, I've done the first two chapters of lunar knights which has been good but I think it's a pick up do a chapter put down kind of game for me so I could possibly manage another game at the same sort of time, Valkyria Chronicles maybe.

  So thats what im upto in my free time at the moment, probs be on here more once i complete a few more, bye for now.

  Weekly spending xD

  ok so I looked at the games I wanted and well bought some, maybe too many... I now duno which to play

  Disgaea didn't arrive the cheeky seller advertised disgaea but was really selling Jeanne D'arc but similar games and I think Jeanne will be the easier to get into of the two so not really a bad thing but naughty seller >_>

  Also got metal gear portable ops plus, basically very similar to the regular portable ops but slight improvements, shame the online servers have been closed for it but I don't think I would have played online due to everyone probabally maxing out there squads by now which would take me months

  so thats all for the psp but I'm still on the lookout for tenchu shadow assassins.

  I also have Valykiria Chronicles for the PS3 which I'm looking forward to sitting down with, haven't even opened it yet.

  Finally my DS purchases got my mum proffessor layton and the curious village and myself Lunar Knights and Final Fantasy IV.

  I will be looking out for The World Ends With You and Hotel Dusk I think as my next two DS purchases, From the games I have now I think I'll write a review for Lunar Knights and Valkyria Chronicles as I haven't wrote one in a while and thoes two games both astetically please me xD but if I'm impressed by any others maybe they will recieve one too, or if i'm overly dissapointed for that matter.

  One last thing the game Cross Edge has caught my attention from looking for it on youtube I found it plays a lot like valykire profile combat wise and combines characters from different jrpg and other games although being from europe I only recognise about three of the characters myself but I'd recommend any RPG fans take a look at it.

  Thats all for today

  Games

  Short blog for now,

  I just ordered disgaea afternoon of darkness for psp, I was looking at disgaea 3 on ps3 but decided against it due to it being the most complex and supposedly weakest story. Other games I am currently looking into are:

  Valkyria Chronicles - I was looking forward to this game for ages before its release, but was left somewhat underwhelmed by the demo, so decided to wait for the price to drop... mistake its now become quite hard to get so the prince is riseing (I'm not a fan of turn based stratergy :O I know I just orederd one ) The graphic style of this game looks amazing and supposedly has a good story with an anime being made (maybe released?) to go with it.

  Tenchu Shadow Assassins - I'm a huge fan of the Tencu series and still own the two ps1 games problem with Tenchu is after the third game it took a nose dive with sega getting hold of it, and it's last psp outing was terrible with a small draw distance so after around 5ft it was just black which meant you couldn't see any thing... yet the enemies could see you before they even appeared on the screen hardly ideal for a stealth game :/. Luckily though this game has been made by the origional creators (apparently) who have tried to reinvent the game (salvage?) the graphics look great for a psp game, but no grappling hook and combat is said to be near impossible motion sensitive on wii uses analouge stick movement on psp. But thats good in my eyes as the real way to play this game is to never be seen and to strike from the darkness. (definatly keeping my psp for this alone xD)

  ok a bunch of games here due to me diliberatly staying in the dark about them as I knew I wanted them xD (all DS) The World Ends Withy You, Final Fantasy 4, Lunar Knights and Hotel Dusk: Room 215. I love my RPG's and games heavily story driven so I think this selection would be worth investing in, also the new valkyrie profile and suidoken (sp?) games were worth looking at but due to some friends reviews/meantions I'm unsure about them. valkyrie for the poor story, and suidoken due to me having no knowlege of the series world. Hopefully most of these are cheap now so I'll beable to pick them up soon but these are my current wish list and I'll give my opinions of disgaea aod after a week or so of playing it.

  Questions for you guys xD

  Know of any great games similar to the ones listed that I havent payed attention to?

  What are you currently looking forward to?

  Lastly what are you currently playing?

  Thats all for now
