So after the best 2011 anime lists I posted a few days back, I guess it's time to make the customary entry about my top 10 anime of 2011, ranked solely on how much I enjoyed the show as a whole. To be honest it was rather hard for me to rank some of this year's contenders because there are so many series that I love and I couldn't fit all into my top 10 ranking, while some others gave me

Less than 48 hours until 2011 close its curtain, thus its time for the customary end of the year ranking post. At first I had planned to do my usual top 10 series for video games and dota (like I did last year), but since I didn't play them as much this year, I decided to proceed with just doing the ranking for anime I've watched this year. With some of the Fall 2011 anime series ending

Fall season is finally underway to mark the end of 2011 anime calendar, with typically massive list of anime series being aired. And as the tradition that always continues, it's time for the impression series. Somehow I found myself watching quite a lot of series this season, which I rather want to avoid.Bakuman 2MAL/OfficialGenre: comedy, dramaStudio production: J.C StaffNumber of episodes:

In the last part I ranked the heroes in Sengoku Basara 3 according to a few things, from Rank S (I like to use the most, or simply just too strong) to Rank D (I least like to use). This time, I'd like to give my reasonings, or at least some comments about those heroes and the way I play them. Note: the skill listed was arranged as it is in the skill menu: Triangle, direction+Triangle, R1 and L1+

Previously I’ve posted about my early evaluation on some of the heroes in Sengoku Basara 3, based on what I experienced when I complete their story mode. At that time however I didn’t really experimented much with their skillsets, especially since most of them didn’t reach past level 40+ by the time I finished their story and therefore has yet to unlock their 2nd or 3rd Special skills.

Following Final Fantasy FFXIII platinum last month, I was left with not so much ps3 games to play – Vanquish, which I doubt I ever platinum (though I recently got back to it), Star Ocean 4 (same case with Vanquish), the unplayable Tales of Vesperia (Jpn), Front Mission Evolve (bored me to death, not going to bother playing), and FIFA11 which I've always played (aside from dota) whenever I was

Finally another platinum. When I first bought Final Fantasy XIII (it was the first game I bought for my ps3, along with Star Ocean 4 and Vesperia jpn version), I just planned to play and finish the game without any thought of platinuming it. After I started playing, the platinum thought still had not crossed my mind, and then even after I finished playing the game last year, it still had not. It

Dota 2 has been the talk of the vast majority of dota community for months, and the anticipation to see the suitor of the current warcraft 3 custom map DotA finally reached its peak last week when Valve held their own tournament at Gamescom 2011, Cologne, Germany, dubbed "The Internationals" where Dota2 made its debut to the public. The tournament which grants a massive 1 million dollar to the

After finishing P3P some months ago, I decided to play an old game that really grew fond on me – Valkyrie Profile Lenneth. Technically it is my second playthrough, because I’ve played and finished the PS1 version before. A bit of history about Valkyrie Profile and me: I was introduced to Valkyrie Profile series back then when the 2nd installment, Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria was released for PS2

Last 2 weeks, one particular game caught the attention of competitive dota community. Or to be exact, the non-chinese community. It was game 2 of Winner Bracket Final of Farm4Fame3 between Danish-based MYM and Ukraine-based Navi. The game was rated Replay of the Week on Gosugamers, with over 11 pages of comments cumulated in just a few days. I admit that since WDC last year, I barely followed

The last time I played Persona 3 Portable (last year, playing as female MC), I mentioned that I was planning to replay the game as Male MC in the future. I didn't have the chance to do so, until about a few months ago when I leave my ps3 behind to work, leaving my PSP as my sole entertainer (unless you count DotA in my laptop). The reason I wanted to replay the game a second time is exactly as I

I took the opportunity to go back home during the last semester break and hence, the chance to play my ps3 again. TBH I don’t have any particular game in mind to play, but since I got my Vanquish and FFXIII games back from deady, I thought that I might as well do some trophies cleanup with these games. Vanquish, from about 22% trophy upped to 51% by doing some chapter-specific trophies, as

Often we thought a dota game is virtually over and victory is secured when one side managed to get a mega creep, while the towers in one of their lane were untouched. Well it's not always true. This time I want to deviate from the usual competitive games to the casual inhouse games, which caught my attention due to the sheer amount of endurance shown by the winning team to withstand Mega Creep

As I mentioned many times before, I'm not really a big fan of western game, but it's not so bad to play this game for a change every once in awhile. The game was relatively short in

Back then when I used to play so many xbox 360 games, I've finished Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope TWICE, including beating both Gabriel Celeste and Ethereal Queen during my first playthrough. My second playthrough was to clean up most other trophies/quests/items I missed during my first play, unfortunately a game freeze glitch occurred when I was 6+ hours into my first Wandering Dungeon run in my

For some reason I had a strong urge to replay Resonance of Fate since coming back to M’sia, although I’ve already finished the 360 version (albeit not getting 1000G). Earlier this year I had planned to borrow the PS3 version from Reppu_Kiri (in exchange for me lending him Valkyria Chronicles), but it was not until early this month that we had a chance to meet, which somehow turned into an

It’s been awhile since I post anything about Dota, not since the conclusion of SGNDT 2010. Partly because since coming back from Australia, I had to wait till February for my PC to get shipped, and in the mean time, using a worn-out 5 years old laptop which didn’t have WC3 installed. 2 months without dota is a nightmare I tell you.Anyway, that still didn’t prevent me from following the

Dragon Age Origin was one of the few games I brought with me since returning from Aussie. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of a western rpg games like this, but nevertheless, I try to enjoy the game as much as possible. And as weeks went by, I find myself finishing 2 full playthrough2 of the game, one as a Mage and another as a Warrior. That surprisingly left me with just

And finally the penultimate episode of Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru: Requiem of the Golden Witch – a tale of Beato’s funeral. As in other Chiru arc, the aim of this episode is to provide the much needed answers to the many mysteries presented to the readers throughout Beato’s game in the first four game. From the last episode, we saw the conclusion of Battler and Beato’s fairy tale with a

Last year someone left me a message asking about Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru Episode 6 review, which at that time I’ve read halfway through. Then last December the English translation patch for episode 7 was released by the Witch Hunt Translation Project. Unfortunately at that time my PC, along with most of my Umineko materials were still in the process of being shipped from Australia, so it is

Since coming back to Malaysia, I haven't enjoyed much games since I only brought back a few titles and pack the rest in my cargo to be shipped home from Australia. And it was not until about 2 weeks ago that the cargo finally arrived at my home, and much to my enlightenment, I decided to continue some games that I've long planned to play, and this include NieR.Earlier I've posted my initial

So far I've finished a total of 9 Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes stories. What I like about this game compared to its prequel SenBasa and SenBasa 2 is that each characters are unique on their own, and none of them are identical to each other [eg Kasuga and Sasuke, Ieyasu and Toshii in previous SenBasa]. For that reason, I'd like to give my thought about each characters I've played. Bear in mind
