Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney

So...last night I finally finished my latest DS game, Apollo Justice. It's another terrific addition to the Ace Attorney lineup of DS games, indeed. New characters, a few new quirks to the world, better graphics because this series was designed for the DS (Phoenix Wright=ported and improved slightly from GBA games released earlier in Japan), and a great storyline.

This is one of those wonderful detective stories you mentioned. The best thing this game does is let the player investigate and solve a story with neat little tools and evidence and dialog...yay. At least, that's why I love it.

I also like it because of the well...community. There are sites like Court-Records which are just a mass gathering of Phoenix Wright fans. I know a lot of people at Ringling who love the series in some way. And man, look what this game made me do!!



One of the best options for community and fandom= fan art. And fan fiction. And sprite edits. It's not often that I do fan art...but...I know I have a good game when I want to do something based from a video game.

(Either that or I was incredibly tired= I blame SitStand.)

Oh, and I also played more Brawl. Mmm. Smash. I'm getting better at it so I'm starting to enjoy it a bit more. A bit. I would enjoy it more if I wasn't against people who know the ins and outs of Smash and use the level editor to make wonky, non-beginner friendly arenas. >_<

But er....I'm out of DS games to play now. I haven't had time to play PS3 lately because of my animations. But that's okay, because this is the last post required for the blog, ne? I'll probably keep on using this though, so if you want to stick around every now and then, you're more than welcome to. Like in May, I have a volunteer op at a game conference in Seattle coming up, so I can post the insights I find at the conference here...probably...maybe....most likely. =D !!!

laterz!

Smash?

Now...normally I'm not a Smash Bros. fan. I found it rather silly.

But.

Smash Bros. Brawl, which one of my roommates just bought for Wii= ZOMG, amazing. O_O

Because. It. Has Sonic. Enough said.



Sonic is high speed and...Sonic Spinball-y. Yes. I love Sonic because he's fast action paced like the rest of the games I play, in general just fun to play. (Megaman, Street Fighter, etc,etc...). But...Sonic was also my first favorite video game. He's the reason why I got a Genesis as my first console. Let's flash back to...1995 or so. I was young. An awesome game was often shown on a children's game show on Nick...Nick Arcade.



Hell yeah. Sonic 2. Needless to say, I would point at the TV and say: "Mom, can I have the system that has Sonic on it?"

Oh dear. I've gone off on a tangent, haven't I? So...the end point being:

I love Smash Bros Brawl because it has Sonic on it. And it's a better fighter than what Sega tried to do for a Sonic fighting game....SONIC: THE FIGHTERS! *DUN DUN DUN*



I so wanted to kill that game. THAT and Sonic R. I won't dare touch the Sonic The Hedgehog game out for 360/PS3 either, there's a reason why they're selling at GameStop for like 20 bucks used of course....=_=....need I really explain? In general Sega's actual Sonic Team has been crudding out horrible games lately, that it takes an effort by freakin NINTENDO to get it right. Imagine that! The once previous rivals of Sonic making Sonic in a Nintendo game, and it's DAMN GOOD! I could have never imagined, as a kid, a Sega fan back in the 90's, that it would have EVER come to THAT!

*laughs insanely for about two minutes*

*clears throat*

Tis all. I have Concept and CA work to do now. Hmm. Thus why I haven't been posting as much as I would have liked...my Sit Stand character is killing me with all its bugs. I suppose I do owe an analyzing opinion of Apollo Justice, which is the only other game I've gotten to play regularly (regularly=inbetween classes and when I'm supposed to be sleeping...urgh...).
