final fantasy vii. again.

I'm playing through FF7 for the umpteenth time on my PSP. I seriously can't get enough of this game. I've not been engaged by any of the spin-offs, although Crisis Core seemed quite interesting from playing the first few levels.

procrastigamer procrastinates.

This is my first post in a month or so, mostly because i've been busy moving house and organising our wedding, which is only a few months away now. That doesn't mean i've been too busy to play some games though. Oh no.

I'm on to the final disc of Lost Odyssey now, and I have enjoyed every minute of gameplay so far. The ring system has come into its own, especially upon the discovery that you can swap rings mid-battle without costing a turn, making elemental/enemy type tactics more strategy than guesswork.

The story has came into its own too - the nature of the title has been revealed and the antagnoist's motives have been set. It's the usual fantastical RPG fare we've come to expect from the FF canon, but it still has the ability to draw you in. Even my wife-to-be is urging me through so that she can learn the conclusion.

I've also purchased Mario Kart Wii, Dead Rising and Mass Effect recently.

I've been a massive MK fan since the first installment, finishing every entry in the series so far. I really like the new one, despite being put off by EDGE's 6/10 review, the reason for which seemed to focus on the multiplayer aspect which for me is not so important. I haven't even tried to use the Wii Wheel yet - the nunchuck/wiimote combination suits just fine, with 'bragging rights' of no concern to me for the above reason.

I've only scratched the surface of Dead Rising so far and haven't even opened the box of Mass Effect yet. Add them to the list...
