A Final Fantasy VII Prequel For The PSP

November 18th, 2009

In’97 Square Enix released Final Fantasy VII, which quickly became one of the most popular titles in the history of the Final Fantasy franchise, and it still is today. The game is so popular that in 2005 Square Enix released a CGI movie titled Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, which was a sequel to the story in the game. While this helped keep the legacy of Final Fantasy VII alive, many fans are still hoping for another Final Fantasy VII game.

Square Enix has not delivered a sequel to FFVII, but a prequel, titled Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. This game is available exclusively on the Play Station Portable, which provides excellent graphics and superior game play for a hand held device. But what if you don’t own a Play Station Portable, is the game worth it to go out and purchase one, is it worth it to even purchase the game itself?

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII has received outstanding reviews from gamers and critics. The graphics and game play on the Play Station Portable are also terrific. Whether you are a hardcore fan of the original Final Fantasy VII, or are new to the Final Fantasy franchise, you will soon become immersed in the world, and enthralled by the excellent story. If you have a Play Station Portable this is definitely a title that is worth picking up, and if you are a Final Fantasy fan it is a must own.

The style of play in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is somewhat different than the original Final Fantasy VII. While the original was a turn based RPG, this new installment is a free form battle system that allows you to control one character at a time with the freedom to move around during battles while you are attacking. All of the principal characters from Final Fantasy VII are back, but your main character, Zack, is newly introduced during the game.

This is an outstanding game that will help provide additional details about the events leading up to the original Final Fantasy VII. The only complaint about this game is that the process to increase your characters level is random, and not as fully developed as some of the other Final Fantasy titles. Aside from that one issue this is a great game that will you enjoy playing for many hours.

May 23rd, 2009
by Patrick Daniels

There’s some decent comedy out there but when you really want to enjoy yourself you must watch 30 Rock. This show is very popular and rates high in NBC comedies, only falling to The Office. The forth season is just beginning and it is maintaining it’s appeal just as in the first season. The DVD’s are available for first through third seasons, you should be sure it becomes part of your DVD library.

This show is about a TV show shot at 30 Rockefeller Plaza. The lead character is Liz Lemon who’s played by Tina Fey who is a creator and writer of the show. Her character has minimum social niceties, is charged as head writer with keeping the rest of the characters out of trouble, and she’s a workaholic.

Tina Fey has a boss on the show played by Alec Baldwin, who doesn’t want to deal with the difficulties of a TV program so he relies on her to keep everything moving. On the show the writers are every bit as difficult as the actors and have a sizable role.

Tracy Morgan of SNL fame plays Tracy Jordan, a movie star that has been given the biggest role on the variety comedy show that Fey writes. He is not what you would call normal, and needs to be kept track of for most of the day and can’t be left to his own devices otherwise he will cause trouble. All of the actors and actresses need this kind of supervision.

The show is one of the funniest shows on television and has only gotten better as it has had time to develop its characters. There is no reason to miss this show and the DVD release makes it easier to get yourself up to speed on all of the misadventures of the last three years. Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin have a chemistry that is easy for them to play off of. Tracy Morgan has finally found a role that he can play and works perfect for him. He looks like he is having loads of fun.

Wii Introduces Super Smash Bros

May 21st, 2009
by Patrick Daniels

A new game from Wii is exciting even the hard core gamers who usually aren’t Wii active. It’s called Super Smash Bros and it is doing very well. It includes all of the favorite Nintendo characters, who all have their own special warrior skills. This game has numerous characters and if you progress, you’ll unlock them as you go.

You can play against the computer with up to four players and over the Nintendo WiFi. It is at its most fun when you are competing against three other friends. All of the classic levels and stages are in this game including a few extra locals. You can even create your own levels and share them online with other people.

In addition to being able to play the fighting modes, there are plenty of other games modes. The game also includes a whole other adventure, platform type game. You can play it alone or with a friend and there are some things that can only be unlocked in the game. It is surprisingly long and involved and would be a whole game by itself from any other developer. It is just an added bonus on this disc and Nintendo didn’t cut corners in bringing extra value to your fifty dollars spent on this game.

This is by far the most entertaining and best looking of the Smash Bros games they’ve released. It has lots of adventures and brings alot for your money. Playing online is pretty easy because the game will match you up with other players, and you’d never know you were on line it’s so smooth.

I still can’t believe how much game they packed onto this one disc, it really is a marvel and a real value if you are looking to get tons of re-playability out of a game. This is the best in the series and should not be missed.

Eminems Best Album Yet!

May 15th, 2009
by Patrick Daniels

With his sixth and latest release, Relapse, rapper Eminem attempts to prove himself relevant so many years after his last album. Indeed, that was back in 2004, with Encore; a lot has changed in the world of rap music since then, and with this ambitious new CD, Eminem is working hard to show why he still matters to his fans.

Eminem has teamed up, once again, with Dr. Dre to produce most of the album tracks. With twenty tracks, this album is worth every penny. Their are an array of different songs, most return to Eminem’s roots, mixing a bit of new with a lot of the old.

Despite speculation that ‘Relapse’ would never be released, Eminem fans can be thankful it did, as it lives up to all expectations. Eminem has finely polished his skills and delivers rap ingenuity that will wow even his biggest skeptics.

Like most of his albums, ‘Relapse’, opens with a theatrical, and hilarious, scene. From there, we hear “3am”, a track depicting the thoughts of a prescription pill abusing psychopath. Eminem’s controversy factor, continues through this album, and fans will be excited that he maintain that focal point in this album.

As the record progresses, Eminem continues pulling many cringe worthy references and hilarious innuendo. Yet again, Marshall Mathers berates his mother on the song “My Mom”; no Eminem release would be complete without such a track. Again, while much of the subject matter on these tracks is hardly new territory for the famous rapper, his delivery surely is; it is more deft, cutting and confrontational than ever before – and that is really saying a lot.

Relapse is a great way to hear the artist at his finest, whether a big fan or just curious. With many new trick this is an ambitious, and wonderfully produced album.
