Hey man, It's almost 3:00 am! Why are you not asleep? (My excuse is that I was playing Blue Dragon -- it's quite addictive).


So yeah. This remake is interesting, certainly, but let's be honest here -- it looks like shit.

I mean click on those screens in the 1UP page you linked, and tell me it doesn't.


edit: Okay, from that video it looks nice in motion. Will have to reserve judgement until I see it on a real PSP screen. But it's good news anyway.

Yes it does look like shit indeed.Looks like a mediocre doujin PC game or something but to tell you the truth im not amazed by the 2.5D one but the 2D ports of the Rondo and Symphony.

I was playing Ikaruga on Dreamcast, tate mode CRT monitor (VGA DC>anything), practicing Chapter 3 and 4. Heh.Im addicted to Ikaruga again!1CC is not far away.Blue Dragon eh?Review please!

[icycalm]

From your Ikaruga DC VGA comment I get the feeling I (sort of) know you.

Are you from Argos, by any chance?


As for Blue Dragon, I'll probably be reviewing it quite soon. One thing I'll say right now is that it's easily the prettiest 360 game I've seen so far, and I've seen more or less all of them.

Getting both Rondo and Symphony in one disc? I'm gonna cry from emotion. Thank you so much sweet Konami. You may have a place in my heart again after the mediocre PC version of Pro Evo 6. Kudos to Capcom also that may have inspired this game with their fantastic Ultimate Ghosts'n'Goblins.

Ha!
I know you!Friendfromjapan project?I think you are the one who sent me some japanese magazines a year+ ago.Correct me if Im wrong.If yes, damn, world is so small!
Im from Nafplio but Im currently live in Athens*

*bullethell unpauses Ikaruga and continue practicing Chapter 3 (Ikaruga DC)

[icycalm]

Yeah, that's me. I ended up getting a few customers and selling a bunch of games, etc. but after a few months I got bored and stopped doing it.

Don't take this coincidence as a sign that the world is small, though. It's just that there are so few fans of shooting games in this country that we were bound to come across each other again...
