September 15th, 2010

Nabbbed some new stuff today, just doing general shopping... turns out the new Lord of the Rings is out! I finally broke down and got Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce as well while waiting for PSP2 to come out, and it turns out Sonic Adventure hit Xbox Live! Naturally I had to nab that one!

Final Fantasy XI (PC): Hit up another Lamia Besieged while trying to get an Abyssea party, and alas, it was getting too late, so we had to throw in the towel. Still, any day with snake ladies is a good day!

Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest (PS3): The character models look goofy, and everything about the package screams, "cheesy." And yet, the game's a lot of fun, and a lot more varied than previous LotR releases. The Shire acts as a hub world, and from there you can experience Aragorn's story. You don't just fight, you actually get to run around, explore, do mini-games, and on top of that Gandolf plays significantly different than Aragorn, so it's not just cookie-cutter.

Momy and myself played for an hour or so, enjoyed some White Castle, then hit it up again, this time passing the controller between the two of us and Abby. Ahh, good times!

I think we stopped... after evading the Nazgul in that first city area after the quest begins?

Sonic Adventure DX (360): I think I... looked at the title screen? Gotta sink my teeth into it later, LotR was the focus today!

Valkyria Chronicles II (PSP): Nothing special. Used the code from Sega's online "Lotte Insider" to unlock Faldio (oh boy, how decidedly not exciting), and did the "Tunnel Offensive" mission. Slow but sure progress!
