Rune Factory

I've always been a fan of Harvest Moon which is a farming simulation game. Although as dull and boring as it seems, I enjoy simulation games even more than I enjoy RPG's (just like how I enjoy manga/anime that aren't fantasy related).

Having played Rune Factory, it seems more like a spin-off of Harvest Moon (actually, I think it is..) and it is more fantasy orientated. In addition to farming, there's the added concept of dungeon crawling and killing monsters and bosses to progress through the storyline. I don't think that's something I enjoy.

Although as stupid as it sounds, I like turn-based games more than the regular running around and slashing and hacking sort of thing (Zelda, perhaps). I have never finished a single Zelda game in my life. Although I simply adore it, I just keep on dying because I'm horrible at those kind of games.

E3: Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for DS

E3 was today down at Los Angeles and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars was announced for the DS! Can you believe it? Grand Theft Auto on the DS? I just hope that it's going to be in 3D (but I doubt), and not the overheard birds-eye view. No new redesign was announced, even though a lot of people were hoping for one. I was hoping for one :(! Or atleast they could introduce that lime green DS to North America.

Rumor: Silver DS on its way to N.A

Rumors has it that the silver DS only available in Europe and Japan is coming to North America. This is entirely possible, as the Metallic Rose DS has just been released recently. I do prefer the Metallic Rose over the pink, and the silver over the white :). Plus, Europe already has the release of three new colors, including green! Hopefully, silver gets released here, but then I might be tempted to add another colored DS to my pretty collection. My wallet hurts :'(

Getting Ready for E3! DS Mock-ups!

Although Nintendo has firmly denied any rumors of a redesign of the quite successful DS Lite, several (okay, not just several) mock ups of the DS redesign has been circulating across the internet.

With E3 fast approaching, we can only fiddle our thumbs and wait patiently for the news. But will there be a redesign? I remember that the DS Lite was released a week (I forget how long) after Nintendo firmly denied a redesign of the old DS Phat! We can only hope! Personally, I really want this redesign (or even a new model!) to happen!
