Parasite Eve, epic game from my childhood. Seriously, this game freaked the hell out of me when I was a kid! Released in 1998, I played this game when I was eight years old... For those that do not know about this legen... wait for it... dary! game, then here's a brief rundown of what it is. Produced by Square, the game is a sequel to the Parasite Eve novel written by Hideaki Sena. The game itself is a survivor horror RPG. The plot? Basically runs on 6 days - from December 24 to December 29 - in New York 1997. Anyways, main protagonist goes to this concert and everyone there ends up dieing except for the singer, main character and her date. The meeting between the two is what will cause the chain of events to happen in the game. The rest? Well, go play the game, seriously awesome! Here is the Parasite Eve Trailer: <object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BPyR9qgcdAU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BPyR9qgcdAU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object> Parasite Eve II Trailer: <object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tACN2ybuDiY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tACN2ybuDiY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object> Finally, the upcoming 3rd birthday!

I think this, aside from Lunar Silver Star Story Complete, will be one of my first Game Reviews to be posted soon! I have realized that so many people around my age never got to play this game and I seriously think they're missing out on a lot of awesomeness!

Over the past few years, we’ve seen the meteoric rise of several fairly small-name animation studios such as A1 Pictures, Brains Base and, most famously, Kyoto Animation, among others. Certainly, KyoAni has enjoyed unprecedented attention both domestically and abroad with very well-received series such as Lucky Star and Haruhi. There has been talk on the Internet of [...]

I remember when I used to play this game like crazy. Haven't logged in for a while and my account seems to be frozen. So annoying! My level 50-something Half-Elf ruined! My level 60-something Dhan ruined! Horrible =.=!!! Anyways, do enjoy the pictures provided below! Now I'm trying to avoid the temptation of restarting a new account and character. Ah! I did not waste money like some others, but the leveling without those EXP scrolls is just annoying...

This week sees all of Durarara’s subtly laid plot-threads come together and Mikado really emerge as a character capable of shouldering the title ‘main character’. It’s a fairly normal evening in Ikebukuro – the usual gray masses are wandering about, street artists going about their business and Shizuo is trying to flatten Simon with a motorbike [...]

For some reason everyone and their monkey was playing that old Identify the Anime Song! video from Nico Douga a month or two ago – I’d tried it out before but found it incredibly frustrating because of the large number of character songs and Lucky Star stuff (which is like a death knell for me) [...]

Era casi inevitable y solo cuestión de tiempo que ALTER sacase una figura del Oboro Muramasa, y la primera no podía ser otra que Momohime, la peculiar protagonista, junto con Kisuke. Como mis amigos de Cross Figures ya comentaron en su blog, ésta figura se anunció en el pasado Wonder Festival, y a nadie ha [...]

Mamoru Oshii… what exactly did you have in mind when you thought up the premise for this movie? What was the point? What did you want to prove? For God’s sake: why?! I was actually looking forward to an anime documentary of Miyamoto Musashi’s life. Especially with the staff behind it. I’m a big fan of [...]

Cuando parecía que nuestros queridos amigos de ALTER no iban a sacar más figuras de Nanoha StrikerS, nos han demostrado una vez más que estábamos felizmente equivocados ^.^ a pesar de que Vivio es un personaje que aparece durante casi toda la serie, en esta forma solo se muestra durante los ultimos capítulos, hasta que [...]

I held back watching this episode for a while as I was told it’s a tear-jerker…I didn’t cry but this episode did bring us into Filicia’s past…and it’s a traumatic one. I was completely taken away by the art (once again) but in particular the melancholic and lonesome guitar in the background!! >_< Definitely need [...]

Ah, what an episode. At this point the creators of the anime were standing for a major dilemma that hits just about every series out there: the fact that the story doesn’t fit exactly into 26 episodes. I’ve raged enough about this problem with other series, but with this series, they’re actually pulling it off [...]
