I get my games from Amazon ^__^ not going to give a sales pitch but they're pretty good. Free shipping over $25 and a month's free Amazon Prime (so free 2 day shipping). They have most games in stock and I don't think I've ever seen The World Ends With You ever out of stock on Amazon. I hardly shop at the actual stores anymore, except for maybe food and clothes.

To tell the truth, Catherine's not that horror. The ONLY horror aspect is the boss fights and since you die a lot, the bosses kinda lose their horror aspect as you see them pop up the umpth time. Thankfully, all events can be skipped and if you feel that you're about to die (and you don't want to watch the dying animation) you can always just skip past it or jump to a checkpoint/restart level. The story's pretty good and I would encourage that team to make less traditional JRPGs like this one.

I own Persona 4 and I've only played a bit, but I watched the anime. It's definitely quite humorous in a lot of aspects ^___^ personally, I love the Devil Survivor game on the DS and Digital Devil Saga on the PS2 as my favorite Shin Megami Tensei games. I'd only say the Persona series is alright.

I have Assassin's Creed 1 and 2 but I stopped buying them there. I don't want to play it on multiplayer and I got sick of the wailing pedestrians. My friends and I always joked about how gently pushing people aside makes you less conspicuous XD personally, I prefer inFamous over Assassin's Creed, I think it's cause I don't have to constantly hide (not really a stealth person, makes my antsy) or maybe it's just cause I can shoot lightning from my hands, lol

Anything (other than FFXIII-2) you're looking forwards to?

Haha, I've never actually played Assassin's Creed, just kind of watched my brother play it. He's not a very stealthy person either, so our convos during the game always goes something like "YOU IDIOT! You can't kill him just in the middle of a crowd!" or "MY GOD. You're supposed to hide in the haystack, stop running around aimlessly! Everyone can see you!" We tend to fair better on multiplayer, where you're not so forced to be stealthy. My brother likes infamous as well, haha.

Well, I've been waiting for Final fantasy Versus XIII since like, forever... It was announced in what, 2006? and still waiting... My brother's a more avid gamer than me, so whatever he gets, I kind of watch him play. He used to prefer stuff like Modern Warfare and Infamous a lot, but nowadays, for some strange reason, he's been playing Pokemon. I guess he just kind of missed that simplicity and "go-to" nature of Pokemon after all those intense RPGs..

Hey y'all, anybody playing Skyward Sword? Just did my first Silent Realm- still trying to scrape my heart off the floor.

Or maybe, anyone playing/looking forward to some Tales games?

I wish i still had my wii to play skyward sword D:! Never played a tales game before, but i just picked up kingdoms of amalur and its been pretty fun so far, i am 8hours in and still in the first area xD doing side/faction quests kind of. I played dark souls before i played this, which helped because hard mode is pretty easy, since i can dodge and parry lol xD.

video games?~~
I play SC I and II [BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT] (although I'm not good at it... If I were to think about it, what I'm best at would be TYPING CHEAT CODES :DD POWER OVERWHELMING FTW!!)...first played SC I when I was six (probably not good, considering the original (not the expansion Brood War) was rated M by ESRB and all...)

eeeerm...what else?...
Ah, I played Soul Caliber (by NAMCO) I - IV, but V seems rather disappointing... They cut a lot of the characters that have been there since the first Soul Caliber and replaced them. Even the battling seems disappointing compared to the old games. It's not the graphics, but the limits of things like blocking and such.

So...thus far?... Everything above is SC abbreviated :O LOL

I've played (and completed more than once) Final Fantasy I & II Dawn of Souls, Final Fantasy IV, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, and...KIRBY <3 (and the Amazing Mirror, Nightmare in Dreamland, and Squeak Squad). It's that strange sense of completeness after [instead of copying the files after beating it once,] beating every single file individually. Well, considering how much time is put into beating them, I've stopped playing these games... After beating Fire Emblem: Sword of the Seals, I figured it was too much of a bother to just beat it two more times.

Cooking Mama's always a good way to relieve stress, and Trauma Center: Under the Knife is also good, only sometimes the operations add to the stress too. -_-

BLAH that was long. Hehe even a girl plays these games...weird? orz

I've only played Soul Caliber 2. Talim is my utmost favorite. She's such a sweetheart. Can't hate her. I hope they never take her out. I always played as her. And Kilik (drool). He looks like a total teen hearthrob in 2, but me gusta Kilik, and he's super fun to play as.
I still have Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. I've finished the game in both routes, but I'm trying to get 100% supports.... which is a totally pain in the butt and I've kind of given up on. I also have the original Fire Emblem (the one with Lynn, Hector, and Eliwood).
I also have Trauma Center...2? I think it's number two. The one where Derek is in Africa in the beginning. I got up to the last level and then it utterly killed me. I can't get pass it....

I love playing Talim and Kilik, they're my favorites in SCII ^___^ Talim's a bit harder to handle in SCIII
Anyone playing Tera Online when it comes out? It is P2P though...I'll probably be on there for at least the first month.

haha I used Seong-Mina a lot back in SC III. Also, I found it disappointing that Hwang (Quite honestly, that's all I know about his name XD) was not in SC IV. He's the guy that was buddies with Seong Mi Na and [Hong] Yun Seong. Hehe but what's really disappointing is that fact that Taki was replaced by some weird student of hers (Natsu? I think?) in SC V. Ivy's still there since she lives forever, but WHY TAKI??!! She's so bad*ss. Plus, I don't like Natsu for a number of reasons, including her weird hairstyle and her battle cries looool.
SC II (in this case, Soul Caliber, not StarCraft)? hrm... It's been a while since I last played that game... Lemme see... hm... Maybe five to seven years? Something like that? I don't really remember who I used though...

Seong-Mina's skill sets are like Kilik's but from what remember, she's a tad slower but a tad stronger? They've got the same master so I'm not surprised. I haven't played IV a lot...I find the armor shedding thing hilarious at times. Ivy's hard to use but she's got a TON of grabs. I also use Xianghua XD oh and Voldo's crazy...it's creepy looking but his moves chain really well. I think I'm always going to drool over Kilik o___o;; I play as him in every soul calibur game I own so I can watch him kick ass, he's also super easy to spam in SC3.

On the note of fighters, anyone play BlazBlu or Guilty Gear? XD

OMG I forgot there was a StarCraft -___-;; I'm such an idiot, lol
The last time I played StarCraft was recently...I don't have StarCraft 2 on me though, I wanted to wait till all three came out. That's probably going to be a really long wait.

Yea... That's gonna take quite a while...
But you know, in SC V... Have you seen the character creation? :O
You can even change heights and move articles of clothing MANUALLY (with arrows lol). It's CRAZY.

But I'm STILL disappointed about SC V... You know, Xianghua gets replaced by her daughter. You'd think that the father would be Kilik, but NO. Mr. Staff Wielder is still hung up about Xianglian (Xianghua's elder sister that sacrificed herself for him a number of years ago. Should I go deeper? :D Anyway, to summarize, the whole temple was going crazy, and she (a young adult at the time) had this amulet that prevented her from "catching it" and becoming a monster, which she then gave to Kilik (a young boy of...pre-teen age? 11-ish?). Well, of course, she turns into a monster, and Kilik is forced to kill her...) STUPID KILIK. DX
