MT12- Gang Aft Agreed

Awww, a no doubt well-plotted scheme to drop a rock on Tobin's head doesn't quite work out. They're wily fiends, they are. Something odd about that gauntlet though...
Fortune's hosts get to chalk up another win in the “not being stabbed to death” field over the other Sins's hosts. Remember kids, if you're going to sell your body to host a demon, go with Pride. Or, you know, just don't do it. Unless you get something awesome in return. Like a Hoverboard. Just make sure you get the ones with powa'!

I still have a $5 off of $50 coupon for Play-Asia left, so if you want it, just shoot me an email, IM, any of the 6000 different means of communication the Internet allows.


Quick Review: Klonoa (Wii)- Klonoa is a good game with solid platforming and I never had the chance to play the original for the PSX so I was willing to give it a shot. I like Klonoa, his powers, and design but none of the other characters are interesting. The story isn't anything special until the out of left field ending and the writing leaves a lot to be desired. The voice acting isn't necessarily bad, but a lot of the characters are high pitched and get on your nerves when they prattle on. Gameplay-wise, the series is very solid, nothing outstanding, but it's a refined, well-made platformer. It likes to spring enemies on you though, with them popping out of thin air or jumping out onto you from the background. Unfortunately, the whole thing is extremely short. Like beat it in one day short. My total time to beat every stage, collect every item, beat the two extra stages, and mess around for a few minutes with the unlockables was 4 hours and 11 minutes. If you bought it pre-bargain bin, that's not a lot of bang for your buck. You can only play the last stage if you get every collectible in the game, which is a pretty cheap way to increase the run time. They're never that hard to get, the only problem is finding the path that leads to them. Levels have branching paths that lead to the items but that serve no other purpose, so it just comes down to playing every level until you explore every path. It's a good game, so if you're platformer starved, pick it up, but don't expect anything mind blowing.
