Gaming Update

GhostBusters:
I finished the game a few days ago. Lot of fun, not really much in the way of catching ghosts, it starts off strong, but they get fewer and further between as the game progresses, and you are mostly faced with minions that are easily dispatched with a quick blast of your proton stream.

RockBand:
I finally got this game, I've been a fan of the Guitar Hero games since the moment I was introduced to them. Sometime between GH 2 and 3 I said to a friend of mine, "You know what'll be great? If they did this for a whole band" and sure enough, about 3 months later, RB was announced. When it first came out it was £150 for the box set, drums guitar the lot, bit much for when I was only earning £140 a month.
So when I was at Cex trading in some games, I found that they had the drums and the game for £50, and I had just gotten a £113 voucher so, what-the-hey, I bought it, and when I got it home, I found 2 things: Its a pretty big set up, and i have awful pedal control.
Still real fun game.

Other News:
Recently I posted about Golden Sun 3 in which I said that the character where descendants, I got this info from a reputable gaming website, which one I have forgotten, but I recently bought an Official Nintendo Magazine and it said that the characters where Isaac and the group. Confusion sets in.

E3:8 - Golden Sun DS

All I can say is... OMG FINALLY!
One of the GBA's greatest rpgs is finally back for a third outing. Graphics are at DS standard, not much to see about game play.
The playable characters are the direct descendants of the original Golden Sun games.
Making a return are the Elemental Djinns, and with them, the Summons.

How Many Animal Crossings Must A Man Walk Down?



I recently got Animal Crossing: City Folk (Lets Go To The City) for the Wii, I played it for a week and got bored. It's a good game, a great game in fact, but I've done it all before on the DS.

Animal Crossing seems to be a series where you really only ever need to get one version of it. Each game has its differences, but at its core, its the same game:

New in town, get a mortgage, pay it off buy selling junk to the guy you owe money to, get a bigger house, make your house presentable, and make your town look nice.

And its been the same each time.

While I've been writing this, an advert for Pokemon Platinum just played on the TV, which made me think, the Pokemon series is just as repetitive as Animal Crossing, yet I find them a lot more interesting. What is the difference in their formulas that makes me catch Pokemon for hours, but makes me leave Animal Crossing after I've caught a few fish?
