EBFGP’08 GP#11: At World’s End

Belch’s base was filled with some cool presents for Jeff, the best of which is the HP-Sucker which’ll allow Jeff to make a damage dealing contribution each turn.

I made a save state before Belch so I could try out the challenge of defeating him without using Fly Honey, but it was too hard for my [...]

EBFGP’08 GP#10: Slime Generation

I fell on hard times towards the end of this GP. Itoi was poisoned by a Zombie Dog beneath the graveyard, but he still hadn’t learned Healing B yet so I was stuck with the pain. I was also a bit too conservative with Iwata’s Bombs against the mini-boss and relied almost entirely upon Reggi [...]

Eat Me

[NOTE: My opinion of this game has changed.]
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater isn’t a very good game.
Yes, I’m shifting gears from MGS4 to MGS3 since my brother won’t part with his PS3 anytime soon. Instead, I borrowed my old PS2 and his copy of MGS3: Subsistence. First impressions? The game’s controls are horrible.
I played [...]

EBFGP’08 GP#9: Come Together

Now that Iwata’s joined forced with Itoi and Reggi, things should start getting fun. I can’t wait until I get the Heavy Bazooka! >:D

A Million People Can Be Wrong

I’d like to briefly address an issue that’s been bothering me lately.
Yes, you can skip the cutscenes in MGS4. No, that does not forgive the ridiculous length of the cutscenes in MGS4.
Seriously, this should never come up in every popular gaming blogs’ posts that have the slightest bit to do with MGS4…but it does, every. [...]

EBFGP’08 GP#8: A Series of Fortunate Events

Bonus!

First Impressions: Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift

I had a job interview today (depressing, I know!) So, I went to Best Buy, waited to be interviewed for about half and hour, spent ten minutes answering simple, yet nerve-racking questions, then bought Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift.
The game is very addictive. I only just stopped playing so I could eat [...]

EBFGP’08 GP#7: Comfortably Numb

Today’s GP was pretty fun. It started off with a battle (Mondo Mole) and ended with a show (Runaway 5.) As I anticipated yesterday, I needed assistance from both my Bomb and PSI Caramel to make it through the battle with Mondo.

Of course, I started off with PSI Paralysis. That didn’t guarantee an easy victory, [...]

DS Demoman: Skadoosh

(Each week, I’ll be taking a look at the DS demos offered through the Wii’s Nintendo Channel and giving my thoughts on the good, the bad, and the buyable.)
THE GOOD
Wall-E
Despite being a movie game, Wall-E seems pretty fun. That’s probably because the gameplay revolves around a pretty interesting concept. Instead of fighting generic baddies with [...]

EBFGP’08 GP#6: Greased Lightning

Lately, I always make a point to get the Great Charm before I fight Carpainter. It wasn’t until one of my low-level runs that I even thought about grabbing the Charm. It doesn’t really have any noticeable effect, but it satisfies the completionist in me.

Carpainter was no no trouble (he never really is.) After the [...]
