PSP rox worz.

woot! got myself many new games thanks to ben cheok. he had like.. 20 odd games which he loaded onto a harddisk for me and i just got it back today. Not all of them appeal to me.. some just sound outright boring. like.. transformers. like .. uh?

so far i only copied 2 games over.. NBA Live 08 (which kinda sucks i dunno why i copied it) and Final Fantasy: Crisis Core.. which i'm currently playing. (i also have Tony hawk 2: underground. pretty fun but the tasks like quite hard to accomplish and quite frustrating)

Ok, Crisis Core. Firstly, this is nothing like previous FF series if i'm not wrong. (i've never played any FF series before, but i've seen it being played and the gameplay is like.. different.) Crisis Core is an RPG style game, unlike the normal battle mode of FF.
here's a very good summary of the game:

The graphics are chio.. you see the left half of the pic? that's like the graphics for the whole game. typical FF realism. the whole game is, as the article says, story driven, so i'm watching cinematics half the time. The battle system is pretty simple though it does take skill i guess, as enemies get stronger. I've already died a few times due to carelessness. ugh.
I don't know if i'll get bored as i play more, but so far i'm enjoying it =) it is simple to play, but it is difficult enough to not be monotonous and boring.

I'm also downloading WWE atm (yess.. and old-time favourite of mine :p ).. so i'll have 3 fun games (tony hawk, FF, WWE) on my PSP to play at all times =) (i dont count NBA as a fun game. there are some minigames tho which i'll try)

Ahh, this feels good. just playing endless hours on my PSP. I wish i could just.. do this forever.

you're looking as good as ever.
