The day I took an arrow to the knee...

I used to be an adventurer/collector/gamer/modeller just like you, until I took an arrow to the knee...

Soul Sacrifice

It is so dark and damp here. Where am I? What am I doing here? And the most important question of all. Who am I???

That is the prologue to one of the most anticipated game for the PS Vita. You play as a captive who is locked in a cage awaiting for the day which you will be sacrificed to Magusar, a sorcerer who has been driven insane by his inability to die. But all is not lost, within the cage you find a living book, Librom which prompt you to read it. By reading the book, you will relive all the event written inside and gain the necessary skill and power to confront Magusar and to regain your freedom.

Soul Sacrifice is a great game which is much needed for a console like PS Vita. One of the main reason why I get a PS Vita is to scratch my gaming itch which I would like to call the "Monster Hunter Withdrawal Syndrome". To be honest with you, I really missed Monster Hunter. So when Sony announced Soul Sacrifice, I thought it was a good substitute but I was wrong. Soul Sacrifice is as unique as Monster Hunter was. Although both games play similarly. The plot, execution and art design for Soul Sacrifice is distinctively unique.

So if you owned a PS Vita and have yet to play Soul Sacrifice. Grab a copy of this great game. We have souls to sacrifice.

Persona 4 Golden

Persona 4 Golden was an enhanced remake of the original Persona 4 which was first released in PlayStation 2 by Atlus. You play as Yu Narukami who has to relocate to Inaba from the big city since his parents are working abroad. From there on, you will meet a lot of characters which will join you in journey of a lifetime.

This is the first game which I have bought for my PS Vita. Come to think about it, it has actually been a while since I play a RPG. The last one which I actually played was..... Super Robot Wars ZII? Does that even count as a RPG?

Once I got my hands on it, I dived head first into the game and boy was I surprised. The game was a masterpiece. The each character in the game has it's personality. Not to mention that this game has a great story line which leads to multiple endings.

Persona 4 Golden is a highly recommended game for the PS Vita system. Even if you have played Persona 4 on the PS2, it is still worth it to relive the game with this Vita edition.

I am getting a "life"!

I have poured countless hours into my PSP. I cannot even recall how many games which I have played on that handheld but I am quite certain that I have finished more than 20+ games from RPGs such as Joan of Arc to action games such as the Monster Hunter series to strategy games such as the Super Robot series over the years. The battery cannot hold charges anymore, the buttons were beginning to turn unresponsive and the new release of game was about to dry out. It have seen better days. It is about time to put it to rest.

While I was pondering the best way to deal with this relic of mine. I was having thoughts of getting a new replacement and what better portable to pick up other than the PSP successor, the PS Vita?

After doing some survey on the market price, I have finally decided to pick one up on a Japanese online store. Stick around for some PS Vita games I will be sharing here on my blog.

The Queen Has Returned!

Raynor, our knight in shining armour managed to save and partially restore Kerrigan's humanity at the end of Wing's of Liberty but that is not the end of the story. Heart of the Swarm continue the story of Kerrigan rediscovering her psionic and Zerg-controlling ability.

This much anticipated sequel introduced new units to the three factions and gives the player an in-depth look into the Zerg hive. I have sunk countless hours on the single player campaign. If you enjoy playing Wings of Liberty, then it will be very likely that you are going to enjoy Heart of the Swarm.

Revoltech Sci-Fi #042 Iron Man Mark VII

The Chitauri invasion has taken it's toll on the Mark VI armour. In a desperate attempt to save his own life, Tony equipped himself with a special bracelet which enable the launch and the usage of the Mark VII armour. 

Out-of-box content. Look at that pitiful amount of accessories.

Front view of the figure.

Close up on the figure.

The design and the articulation of this figure is good.

I dont know how to describe it but Mark VII seems more streamline compare to the previous armour.

The figure comes with a pair of compulsory repulsor beam effect.

Preparing for takeoff!

The only gimmick on this figure is the flaps at the back of the figure.

The flaps concealed thrusters which improved flight capacity.

Another Iron Man released from Kaiyodo. Frankly speaking I am not impressed by it. The design of the armour is very eye-catching but the credit goes to the suit designer not the figure sculptor. The figure is plaque with a lot of issues. Firstly, the finishing is as bad as the previous release. You should consider yourself lucky if you get one without paint peeling off due to parts sticking to each other during packing. That aside, the paint will peeled off with the slightest scratch. Secondly, the problem with the joints are still very apparent. The revolver joints cant support the weight of the figure especially those located on the knee and heel. Last but no least, this release is a step backwards in terms of accessories/gimmick. The releases before this comes with extra effect part, a head sculpt and some even comes with light gimmick! Mark VII only comes with a pair of repulsor effect and 2 extra pairs of hand. On top of that, the only gimmick which comes with this figure is the flap? You got to be kidding me??? 

I have mixed feeling for this figure. If you can overlook those shortcoming then by all means go grab this figure.

Ronin Giroro Robo

I have no idea what that idiot Keroro is thinking so I might as well take things into my own hand.

That looks like cool ride.

Definitely makes life a lot easier for me.

I cant wait to try out this new arsenal of mine. A soldier got to get familiar with his weapons.

I have got to congratulate that Pekoponian scientist who made this. This robot is oozing awesomeness.

Now! Who wants a piece of my Ronin Robot.

Let us start with some basic movement procedure.

Turning side ways is a piece of cake.

Walking backward does not seems to be an issue.

Time to test out the cannon.

I would love to punch someone in the face with this!

The alternative form for this robot is an artillery.

Our enemies will not know what hit em!

I wonder if I can impressed Natsumi with this robot...
