Hero-of-Time

DO IT, STEF! Yeah I fought her on the ship, looking at the flower in the Wah Lava Cave and in a pub as she was blocking a Score Piece, not sure if I have fought her anymore. The team I use is Retto, Viola and Falsetto but I was forced to use Frederic at one point as Falsetto had sodded off somewhere.

Big bumpage I have once again started to play this over the past week and although I still hate the story and cutscenes I am enjoying the gameplay. There is some pirate woman called Dolce ( sp? ) which always gives me a beating. I have defeated her a few times but she always ends up killing at least 1 of my team mates. Its weird because I nail all of the boss fights at the end of the chapters but this bitch is really giving me a hard time. I have just started chapter 6 now, hopefully I wont run into her again.

Shorty, you could always download some Arcade games as alot of them seem to be co-op.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance is quite a fun game to play, especially in co-op mode. Its just a nice and simple no brainer game where you pick your team and then beat the hell out of anything that moves

Here's a depressing look at the game from http://www.destructoid.com.

Thats a pretty good guess! Although I have to side with the Fire Emblem theory for now.

Nice to see S-E giving us Euro peeps this quirky little title.

Heres an awesome trailer for FF: Dissidia. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/35593.html Its great to see Squall back in action.

Once more Nintendo Power are at it again. I wish we got this mag over here, seems a hell of alot more exciting than ONM. Some are speculating that its Kingdom Hearts ( that idea never goes away ) others are saying its everything from a new Zelda to the more reasonable idea that it will be a Little Kings Story feature.

Here's some snippets from Gonintendo

You mean Ehrgeiz? I quite liked that game purely because I got to beat the hell out of Sephiroth.

Thanks for posting the scans, Pedro. I was heading off to work just as I posted the link so I didnt have the time to do it.

Gonintendo have some scans/shots of the game. http://gonintendo.com/?p=47612

Isnt WOTB pretty much a remake of an older Capcom game though? So in theory Assault Heroes borrows off the original Commando game

From Eurogamer and

This weeks Bonus Round is all about Microsofts showing at E3. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/35355.html

Agreed. Sega seem to have had trouble with bringing Sonic into the 3D world. They should ditch the story telling and just get back to basics. Also, they should stop making Sonic mingle with humans, it just doesnt look right at all. I wonder what a 3D Sonic game would be like if Miyamoto was at the helm? Hmmmm....

Nintendo dont need to announce new console support, they have to support the consoles that are already on the VC! There is a massive amount of classic games that has yet to be released but instead we get drip fed tripe. In other news I snapped up Alex Kidd the other day, man that game is hard. I spent a good few minutes just sitting at the start of the first level listening to the classic Alex Kidd tune. Ah happy days

Heres the first trailer for the game http://www.gametrailers.com/player/35358.html

I would like to but when it comes to the Tales game I usually just over level my characters and then just hammer away with normal attacks and then use a special now and then. In Symphonia you can map special moves on the pad. So say press right with the special button will do 1 special move while pressing left and the special button will do another. I havent played around much on the demo so I dont know if this option is available. If you hit the Y button ( think thats the one ) you can bring up a menu mid battle to give you the option of using items.
