Game Impressions

So i picked up No More Heroes and 2 DS games. First game i've got for either system for a while.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker - Bought this cause i have fond childhood memories of the came boy colour games; Dragon Warrior Monsters 1 and 2. Seems pretty similar and it looks absolutely sweet for a DS game. Haven't played that much yet so i'll have to wait and see if the breeding system still holds up or whether its been dumbed down. Oh and also, teh lead character looks like an absolute prick.

No More Heroes - Initially a disappointment; looks pretty shit graphically - this coming from someone who couldnt normally give a toss about graphics - but seriously, i mean i was playing Burnout 1 for gc earlier and it looks way better. And the bike is a real load of suck / pain in the ass. But oh my jesus the bosses are where it's at!! Motion controls seem to be implemented very nicely, very satisfying to use. Generally the game oozes with style as well, though fuck them for leaving out blood. I mean seriously, this is England, why do the yanks get it and not us?

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin - First in the series that i've played since the original. Seems like not much has changed; perhaps for the best. Nice idea post-apocayptic premise, and already the story seems at least slightly of interest.
