I have to confess... One of the reasons it took so long to get this back up was because I've been a bit distracted. I've been playing Disgaea. Now, I happen to own Disgaea 1 and 2, but I have not finished either one of the games.
Why?
Well, partly because the game system really is built so you can take as long as you want before you finish it. And mostly because I got a PS3. Now, my PlayStation 3 is an 80 GB one, so it doesn't have backwards compatibility with the PS2. I can dust off my PSX games, though.
But the PS3 has spoiled me. It plays lovely Bluray discs and makes the TV downstairs present a most beautiful picture. So I haven't gone back. Well, I do go back. Mostly when people are watching something silly downstairs on the big tv.
But usually, I go read if that's the case.
I'm rambling.... It's pretty late for me, so pardon my fits & starts...
Disgaea 3 centers around Mao. He's the son of the evil Overlord who loooveesss video games. And now he's out for revenge on his evil Overlord-daddy. The game is full of puns, puzzles, and fun. Honestly, the graphics aren't an improvement on the PS2's, but there are some fun game functions like Duel Toss and new geo-things. It doesn't have that irritating warrent thing that took soooo freaking long in Disgaea 2.
And of course, Disgaea features the cutest of character designs.
I told my coworker that I stopped playing Oblivion after the first half-hour.
Because.
Rats.
Ate.
Me.
I'm sure that there are a lot of people who love those types of games. I'm a Final Fantasy/Dragon Quest kind of girl. I can't stand rats. And Disgaea makes everything cute. Even Zombies.
