Yet another challenge for the next year, not books this time, but video games!
I plan to complete 9 video games I picked from the black notebook in which I list all the games people told me I absolutely needed to try. Well, the list is huge, so the choice wasn't easy, but the nine elected games are...
#1 -- Final Fantasy VII [PSX]
"W...What??! You haven't played this game yet???" Nope, I haven't. But I'm willing to atone for my sin & make it my top priority. In fact, I'm already enjoying it on my PSP. I could not avoid this one as I was totally enchanted by Crisis Core.
#2 -- Xenogears [PSX]
As my brother spent most of his energy the last few years telling me how this game was the ultimate RPG of aaaall times, I cannot - & do not wish to - escape it. I especially look forward to playing this one & hope the high expectations I put into it won't be proved groundless. Haha, & the bad guy looks somehow like a shoujo hero (naked?? WTH??).
#3 -- Guilty Gear Judgement [PSP]
I sometimes like to go berserk (don't be afraid, I mean only in the video gaming world), so this is the perfect game to kick up my heels.
#4 -- The world ends with you [DS]
After the three previous games, my PSP will need some rest, so I'll switch to the DS for a while & play this hypish title. Can't wait to try this one, the characters look so stylish!
#5 -- Tales of Destiny [PSX]
I only played the first few minutes of this RPG & I was already laughing out loud at the dialogs. Oh, I bet this one is gonna be so much fun. I mean, a stupid blond hero & a lot of sarcastic talking, how could this get any better?
#6 -- Chrono Cross [PSX]
I don't really know what to expect of this game, but I already know its soundtrack by heart which is imo a masterpiece. Yasunori Mistuda (the composer) did an amazing work & this is reason enough for me to play. To think of it, the visuals of which I had a glimpse seem more than ok too.
#7 -- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire [PSP]
Well, what can I say, everyone needs to go back to childhood joys once in a while...
#8 -- Breath of Fire III [PSP]
Many people told me I had to give it a go. However, I have to say that the hero's sprite haircut gave me quite a bit of a scare... I mean, did a doggy poop on his head or what? (Sorry, this post is getting gross. ^^;) Hope to be happily surprised, we'll see.
#9 -- Valkyrie Profile Lenneth [PSP]
Getting to control a cool & powerful valkyrie (woah, her voice, scary, best game dub ever listened to!), totally fine by me.
By the way, I just stumbled upon this hilarious list of quotes from various RPG's. Give it a look, it's worth it.
Gamingly yours,
Pascale.
