Game Review: Luminous Arc

SRPG; Nintendo DS; Image Epoch/Atlus; 2007

Ho there Hi there, a few things to talk about before we begin. For one, I've gotten a job, or at least I will as soon as all the paperwork is done. Unfortunately, it's only temp work but depending on how well I do I might find a more permanent placement. But even if that doesn't pan out, it's still work which means I get money for it and I have something to put on my work resume. Beyond that, James the Movie Reviewer (I didn't know there was only ONE person who reviews movies) has linked my review of Kill la Kill to the tail end of his review (as kind of a second opinion), so as gratitude here is a link to his review blog: J and J Productions. If you like my content... You'll probably like his more as he goes far more indepth and actually uses the conventional number scores as appose to my reliance on vaguely defined recommendations. Speaking of vaguely defined recommendations, it's time for another game review this time a little known game for the DS called Luminous Arc, a game who's most noteworthy aspect is how unnoteworthy it is. What do I mean by that? Well click that little "Full Review" link to find out.

Anime Review: Tears to Tiara

How are you guys doing this Easter... Wait, it's Easter? Huh, you know after growing too old for Easter Egg hunts, I don't really care about this holiday. Like at all. Well, maybe after buying a few discount chocolate and jelly beans after the fact. Anyway, It's time for a new Anime review, and this time we have a series based on a game made by a company called Aquaplus. I've had experience with this weird association of anime and this particular game company when I saw Utawarerumono (and can you believe that I spelt that correctly on my first try) which was a great series up until it lost it's mind at around episode 22 or so. Does the bizarrely titled "Tears to Tiara" fair better? Let's find out.

Game Review: Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl

Dungeon Crawler RPG; 3DS; Atlus; 2013

Not much has happen since last time I posted a review on these blogs... EXCEPT FOR THE AWESOMENESS THAT WAS THE SMASH BROS DIRECT! I'm sure you guys know by now that I'm a huge Nintendo Fan and I'm also a huge Mega Man fan, so with all that awesomeness that was announced about Smash Bros. Including Mega Man's absolutely awesome final smash (they are missing Zero and ZX though, I guess only Blue Mega Men are allowed), man it was a sight to behold. Anyway, I'm here to review a game, not gush about how awesome Smash Bros is. Anyway, here is my review of Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl. A remake of the first Etrian Odyssey game, and my first foray into the series.

Anime Review: Kill la Kill

Hello everyone, a few bits of news for everyone. First and for most is in regards to the Conception II demo I reviewed last week. As the six or seven people who actually read my blog might know, the reason why I posted that review as because Atlus was having a sweepstakes where the winners can get a download copy of one of four games if you posted some sort of content about the demo, including a blog post (also I wanted to try something different). Low and behold, I was one of the contest winners, and so I got a copy of Etrian Odyssey IV. Immediately after the announcement from Atlus, I got a huge boost to my view count. So if you're one of the individuals who came from Atlus's twitter, welcome to my blogs. I'm Crescent, or CRES if you are on the Mighty No. 9 forums, and here I review various anime and video games and I post a new review, or a mindless, rambling, barely coherent rant every Sunday (usually before 5 PM PST). I also now have a Twitter account (because I needed one in order enter the sweepstakes) @CRESC3N7. Follow if you want, I don't really care. Anyway, here is an introduction to the type of reviews I do: Let's review Kill la Kill.

April Fools Joke Post

DEMO-lition: Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars

A video game demo review/first look.

Greetings everyone. All five of you who read my blog. Anyway, this week I'm going to be doing something different. Atlus has apparently set up a sweepstakes for it's latest game "Conception II," that being if you talk about the demo in any way, shape, or form and tweet or facebook...it to Atlus, you get a chance to win a digital copy of Dragon's Crown for the Vita (We have it for the PS3 and I don't have a Vita),  Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked (Which I own a physical copy), Etrian Odyssey Untold (Ditto), and Etrian Odyssey IV..... Okay, that I don't own. So I've taken this opportunity to try out a new segment for my blogs called "DEMO-lition" where I look over a demo (usually for my 3DS) and grade it based on whether or not the demo got me interested in the full game. So let's begin this experiment with the Demo to Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars, a game that takes the Social Link and Dungeons from Persona, add an unique battle system on top of it, and thrown in every dating sim game you can think of into it and complete the picture with the most sexually suggestive gameplay mechanics since Ar Tonelico.

Anime Review: Maria Holic

Sorry, I'm late this week. There was a streaming event that I regularly watch, and this week's episode was a complete train wreck. I don't want to go into details here about what the show was and what it is about because it has nothing to do with either video games nor anime and is rather political in it's nature, thus I want to distance it from this blog because I don't want to cause unnecessary division. Also, I don't have a video game review ready because the game I'm play "Etrian Odyssey Untold" is rather lengthy. So another anime review it is and this time it's a series about girls, and girls who like girls, and guys who dress up as girls. Yeah, it's one of those series.
