Was a very good game, yes i cheated on about 4 puzzle pieces, i would of gone insane if i didn't, and i was so desperate to see the ending.

The ending was odd, not what i thought would happen, after looking around on the forums i learn theres 8 stars to collect as well, should be interesting, going to try and collect them in the future when i decide to start the game again.

Back to eternal Sonata.

Had a chance to dig out a few more things I've collected over the last few years and i thought i would share a few on here.

First,

ZELDA II: THE ADVENTURE OF LINK
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

Along with Super Mario bro's 2, Robocop 2 and Off Road this was the first game i got for the Nes and was always amazed at the gold cartridge,  i never have completed it as i don't really consider myself a big fan of the Zelda franchise, in fact the only one i completed was Ocarina of time for the N64. Anyway the reason i post this one up is because I'm shocked I've managed to keep it in good condition all these years now!






EHRGEIZ
EHRGEIZ

Though not entirely rare (Could be found on ebay), when i first heard about this back in 1998 i was determined to get myself a copy, The fact you could play as Cloud,Tifa,Vincent ,Aries and Sephiroth in a beat em up game just blew me away, the only problem? the game sucks.






And speaking of Final Fantasy here is my ps1 collection.

Finished them all apart from FF8, for some reason i never could get into that one, maybe in the future I'll give it another go. You can probably notice my FF7 game has taken a beating since its was the first game i got for the PS1 back in 1997, completed it 5 times since then, while the last save it has all characters at level 99, two gold chocobo's, all the weapon boss's defeated and loads more, an  achievement will never come close to that one.                                                                                                                     



I'm also a big fan of games soundtrack's, but these two are my favorites.
ICO & Kingdom Hearts









And finally, this is something I'll always treasure.
Kingdom Hearts visual art collection

Came across this book in a small shop in Brighton a few years back, and it was only £10, i have yet to see another copy floating about.







Thanks for looking, Peace.

ok so i just had a flick through the forums on giantbomb.com and found about 3 decent topics to read out of about 15 pages worth? Seriously are these forums run by little kids or something? I think I'll stick to reading peoples blogs that are actually interesting, mature and worth my time to read.

p.s Braid is stunning but a little tricky...(Promised myself i wont search for a guide)

Simple really, you just buy games like these...
Beautiful Katamari & Hello kitty










My girlfriend has a scary obsession with hello kitty (I like to call it Hello Shitty) so i wasn't allowed to let this game slip by, as for Beautiful Katamari...well thats not just a girls game, i loved "we love katamari" for the Playstation 2 and always wanted to play Beautufil Katamari for the Xbox 360, she thought it looked "cute", so i bagged it. Though I'll be lucky to get a chance to play it, I never got to touch Viva Pinata when it was released!

Also treated myself to some new DVD's.
The Thing = Nightmares

Yep, i like a good war film, Rescue dawn is an awesome film and just shows how committed
Christian Bale can be to a film, he yet again looses loads of weight (check out how skinny he is in "The machinist") for realism of the movie.

Battle for Haditha, Directed by Nick Broomfield (Ghosts) tells the story of an incident that occurred in Haditha, Iraq, a few years ago, After a road bomb was planted by insurgents and later blown on US marines killing one and wounding several others the US marines then go on a rampage and kill 24 non-combatant civilians, A cruel but essential view if  you have any interest in the ongoing conflict in Iraq or have family members serving over there like myself.

And as for "The Thing"? well thats just plan crazy and frighting at the same time, always liked the look of it and after my dad recommending it to me i thought i may as well buy it, the front art work for it though has nothing to do with the film? i looked into it and its the same cover as the game, strange.


And finally, being a big fan of Amon Tobin i thought i would order the Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory original soundtrack produced by him.
             
Amon Tobin - Chaos Theory









Peace.
