Hey All,
Sorry for the delay but I finally managed to get the images up for the Persona 3 Portable review found here http://sam.animeblogger.net/?p=2446.
Have a good day/night for now! Check back soon for more upcoming content!
So I shared the last article with some friends on facebook and they seem really hyped up, so I have decided, now that I am at home, to post a further 38 images (There are more that NISA provided however my internet is too slow to upload them all at the moment). Still, hope these provide some interest in this game, alongside the three videos I posted.

Fans of GUST’s Atelier series will be glad to know that in September, Nippon Ichi Software America will be releasing Atelier Rorona into English. This game seems to follow the same battle/synthesis gameplay model as the other games and is the first one on a current-gen console. So want to see some english images? Just press read more to see them!

Be prepared for a new Nippon Ichi grindfest with an insanity level like you have never seen! From the creators of other best selling grindfest RPG Disgaea, they have unveiled Zettai Hero Project, a game where they implement concepts of Disgaea and take them away from the tactical environment and into a more action oriented game with the same Disgaea charm. A few days ago, Nippon Ichi released some english images to go with their new trailer. After the jump, I have placed some of the best ones into a little gallery for you all to view!

Tartarus? Sounds like toothpaste!
- Junpei Iori when first entering the dorm.
My first review after my hiatus is by far one of my favourite series of all time, Persona 3. This time, I shall be reviewing the PSP version which whilst having been downgraded in some areas, has also been updated in terms of other factors. The primary feature, which is featured on the cover is the brand new female protagonist, the second time in the entire Persona series that there has been a female protagonist. Whilst the male protagonist storyline is also featured, this review will essentially be catering to the female storyline improvements, since I havent played through the male P3P storyline yet.
Note: Images will be up in a couple of hours, I have no access to my PSP at the moment to get the images.
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor
Atlus – Nintendo DS
Personally, I am not a big Nintendo DS gamer, however there has been a number of decent games released for the system such as my all time portable-exclusive favourite The World Ends With You. The whole 3D system is not something I am going to throw my big dollars at for what at this time, seems like an initial hype that will just die down after a few months. Therefore I claim that Devil Survivor could be one of the best DS games I shall try out until the good games come out post-3DS. The Shin Megami Tensei series is my favourite game series, so this better not let me down.

Good day all,
I realize it has almost been a month since I posted here last, however a number of factors have influenced my activity…. mainly many sleepless nights doing assignments and the time inbetween doing 5 minute gaming sessions and being at uni.
Anyway, I am back now so I guess all is well.
I recently heard of the site onemanga.com announcing that it was closing down next week due to pressure of manga companies. Now first off, I am not going to be going “THIS IS MORALLY WRONG TO TAKE AWAY OUR MANGA!?!?!” since really, everyone has their own opinions on this, instead I am just going to pose a few statements and be on my way.
I am neutral in this case, I can see the benefits of both sides arguments and see issues with both of them, however, I do hope that because of these incidents that companies will actually make manga more accessible and not just regress into a market of expensive and limited books….. since now some prices and value for money are making me cringe.
That is all for now folks, thanks for reading!
Sorry for the lack of updates, been drowning in a lot of assignments at the moment…. but will endeavor to be back in full force by the end of the week.
So I have finally gotten an XBox360 and a few games because the games and console were relatively cheap and in a good deal package. So~ you can expect some XBox360 game reviews soon, of course money dependant since I am broke now Y_Y.
Oh, and any good RPG Game suggestions for the console?
At the very end of a summer that was all too short.
The old man I was living with passed away.
Even after all the years we spent together, I never knew his name.
Later that evening.
I dug a shallow grave in the front yard of our home and buried him there.
At that moment, I was truly alone in the world.

As you can tell, as of the moment that this post has been published, it has hit my 19th birthday! So I will most probably be taking the day off from doing anything blog related, however in the next few days, I will finalize the last few E3 posts. So what shall I be doing this birthday? Believe it or not I will be at my desk writing up lab reports that have piled up over the last few weeks. I will also try and get an hour in to play some games. Since I definitely don’t want to go wagging class or anything.
Also, I have my doubts on getting a Black Forest Cake as shown in the image above, decided to let my folks pick one out, but hopefully it will be delicious and not a lie. For those that have been living in a recreation vault…. Portal 2 has been announced for PS3 alongside the other consoles and systems and had a new trailer released at the Sony convention, which I shall be posting up in the next few days… very exciting!
This post will be covering my comments on the various events that happen regarding the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS during the E3 Expo. This does not cover everything that occurs during the event of the expo, and instead things that just interest me and/or have relevance to this blog. This is by no means an up to date ticker on the events (I live at the other side of the world), thus the event is held at night for me.
Summary and Review of the Nintendo Press Conference
The stage for this game consisted of a primarily blue theme. Personally considering the Wii, I would have chosen white, but no hassles with the stage design and it was good to see them making use of the door behind the speaker at times during the presentation.

Planets Aligning For Overseas Release Of Neptune
By Spencer . June 16, 2010 . 4:46pmimage We’ve mentioned Compile Heart’s game about the game industry, Super Dimension Game Neptune, several times. It’s the game with moe-ified video game company mascots where console goddess fight the evil Majicon, the Japanese term for Nintendo DS flash carts.
Neptune was not at E3 since it has not been announced for any region other than Japan. But, I’d hold off on importing the PlayStation 3 game. Chances are good that Neptune will be localized. During an interview with Haru Akenaga, President of NIS America, I asked him about Neptune.
“All I can say now is Idea Factory asked us to localize the game for the US and Europe. We are eager to do that. We are in discussion about the conditions for licensing the title,” Akenaga replied. “The deal is almost done.”

If this is true, then this is one huge big success for Nippon Ichi Software America. This game could honestly bring hordes of people who are not familiar in them to buy this game, love it, and then purchase more of their products (Which are equally as good), which will no doubt end in more $$ to release more great games, which shall then cause a big loop of ultimate success!
Thanks to Siliconera for bringing this news! Definately a game site to watch for all the updates on the latest NISA games. Honestly, I could see this being announced at their press event which is coming up very soon! Something to keep an eye out on.
On another note, my E3 Summaries and Review article shall be up soon, havent had time to watch the conference videos.

Update #1 – Natal’s Name Revealed
Was reading on Joystiq about the special preview of Natal. A few games were announced and the new name of Natal was revealed…. Kinect. I personally thought Natal had a charm to it but whatever I guess. My big question is what was with the clothes they had to wear!? White polyester ponchos? Is it a battle of who can survive longer on stage? The Kinect or the journalists!? The games for it shown seemed to be similar to the games on the Wii…. I wonder what else will show up…. Would love to see some creative events like that over here through, especially if I was invited o_o

Hey All,
Just a quick notice that I have posted my notes on the Microsoft conference and will be posting notes on the Ubisoft and EA conferences as soon as Gamespot has the recorded feeds available. Shaping up to be a good E3.
Had an exam on today so I am tired, dont think I will be posting much else tonight.
Look forward to reading my summaries of the other conferences tomorrow and the day after~
This is my attempt to try something anime related on this blog, after all I am still hosted on animeblogger.net. So I got to thinking, what was a nice simple thing to do before I went to sleep tonight… I thought of doing a normal generic TOP OPENING/ENDING THEMES post however that seems to be overdone a bit…. so I thought of doing something a bit unique and instead decided to do the top “Fun” opening and ending themes of animes. So what does a theme have to do to get into this category? Simply, it has to be hyperactive, fast paced music and cheerful! Not much to it really….
In no particular order… the countdown shall begin!
Azumanga Daioh
Soramimi Cake – Oranges & Lemons
Considering how long ago the anime was made, the quality of the opening is still really good and definately much more interesting to watch then most of the openings nowadays. The overall cheerful tone of the song, as well as the cute and comedic animations make it a must add to the list.

Note: This post will remain stickied (At the top of the post list) until the end of the E3 Expo. Normal posts will be accessible by scrolling down.
The E3 Expo will be starting in just a few short hours and unfortunately I shall be in bed when it starts off with the Microsoft Press Conference. Since I have a bit of spare time this week, every so often, I will be making comments regarding each of the companies consoles announcements. I won’t have any live coverage unless something big is announced whilst I am awake, but there should be updates every day with a big conclusion at the end…. After the events, this will all be archived into a page for easier viewing.
I encourage readers to post their comments as well, I might miss something or make a mistake occasionally so any feedback would be great! Even if you don’t find an error, I always like hearing everyones thoughts. Also note that I will try to exclude any bias I have and will not target anyone based on their choices in games or console. That being said, since I do play certain consoles over others, there may be more content on one console over another. Overall through, consider it like a bigger twitter feed without the 150 word limit!
Anyway, I shall try to add some funny remarks during the presentation and will critically analyse at times (I am training to become a researcher, got to be critical in a non-biased way)

Note that in the event of there being an interesting multiplatform game, I will most probably put it in the Sony section where applicable or both if there is a big announcement. I will not be covering any title and it is at my discretion as to what I review.
For all the live up-to-date content and trailers, go here.

As you are no doubt aware, one of the biggest annual western gaming events is going to be taking place…. the E3 Expo! Unfortunately I wasnt able to attend considering I am all the way at the other side of the world, however I would like to share some of the stuff I hope comes out of this years E3.
Dear Mother and Father up in heaven…
Althrough my clumsiness and chronic bad luck caused you guys constant worry…
I managed to get i to Rikkyoin High School.
And, on my first day there…
…for some reason found myself chasing afer an elementary schoolgirl,
While riding atop a very peculiar robot.
