Hokuto Musou(new PS3/360 action game in Japan)
Koei has announced a new action game called Hokuto Musou. It's based on the manga and anime franchise, Hokuto no Ken, better known out here as Fist of the North Star. The main character, Kenshiro, will go into battle against his older brother, Raoh's armies, with the gameplay of Dynasty Warriors. No US release has been announced, but it definitely looks interesting.
Decided to play beat some RPGs
I decided to go into some RPGs I haven't played in a while and this time, it's from start to finish. It'll be in this order. Wild Arms 4, Ar Tonelico, and Xenosaga Episode I & II. Wild Arms 4 is a fun game. I'm trying to get to the train station.

#4. Dead or Alive
A lot of you probably already know about Dead or Alive, but there are those that don't. It's a fast-paced and fun fighting game series from Tomonobu Itagaki, best known for reviving Ninja Gaiden. The series focuses primarily on female characters. It may sound like a way to draw some people over, but that's not all it's got going for it. It's strategic, fast, varied, and, most importantly, fun. Which leaves me to the big question. Why isn't Tecmo hard at work on Dead or Alive 5!?
New Game: Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation(GBA)
I got a used copy of Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation for the GBA yesterday. It's an installment in the Super Robot Taisen(commonly known as Super Robot Wars) franchise that focuses exclusively on original characters(hence the name), instead of combining the casts and stories of different giant robot anime like the series is known for. It's a fun game. So far, I give it an 8. I'm on Chapter 12 in Ryusei's route.
Favorite characters:
Aya Kobayashi
Latooni Subota
Elzam V. Branstein(cool villain)

#5. SNK Vs. Capcom
SNK Vs. Capcom is the best work of SNK and Capcom. It brings together characters from both companies' games(primarily Street Fighter and The King of Fighters). And the best game in this wonderful series is Capcom Vs. SNK 2. Not only did it featuremore than40 playable characters and awesome three-on-three strategic combat, but it also brought back characters that hadn't seen a new game in a long time. SVC Chaos is another example of pure crossover awesomeness that, while reducing the battles to one-on-one and only having 24 playable characters, still manages to packa hugepunch in terms of gameplay and characters. It even had Zero from Megaman Zero as a Mid-Boss, and the Red Arremer from Ghosts N' Goblins as a secret boss.
