At Peace

Finished flower today. All I can say about it is that its beautiful, and the whole reviving nature thing can be related to Okami when you revive the lands. It feels great to see the colours being restored to the land. The game itself uses the PS3's six-axis motion control very well, a solid feel and good sensitivity, making it feel exactly right. Relaxing game, although there's no actual replay value, it definitely feels welcoming to revisit the levels. I recommend it for those who have a PS3.

Katamari Tribute/Forever already out in Japan for about a week now. Played the Japanese demo of it, and the game succeeds in maintaining that fun, colourful gameplay that I remember from We Love Katamari. The new graphic filters look great, the songs are nostalgic, and the remixes are fresh, the new gameplay modes are good, and the entire game looks great in HD. Definite buy in September when it comes out.

Geez, doesn't that make this blog look like some game review site? Don't worry, it won't turn into one, though you may see frequent rantings about how great some games are from me.

Been playing Warhawk with Kelvyn and Julian a lot recently. While I'm better at dogfighting and using a tank, Kelvyn's undeniably clever with his use of the various vehicles and Julian can be rather sneaky.

Finished our IGCSE mocks a week ago, and then the trip that was supposed to happen didn't due to a lack of interest, with only 28 out of some 80+ people actually having signed and payed up. In class, every teacher's reaction was like "You're not supposed to be here in school for another week!". I myself, didn't even sign up for it, and you don't need me to elaborate on why. Full force of school life hit me again after 5 weeks off and 2 more weeks of rather loose days of exams. Damn, I hate this, is what I'd say, but I've no choice but to accept it.

Watched the 6th movie of Kara no Kyoukai. Very airy feeling compared to the other 5, but it fits Azaka very well. 7th movie will be the last, kinda sad about that, but I hope they'll end it spectacularly.
