@louiedog: If your fishing in the right spot or the red x on the map you will catch the fish needed to keep the story going. I think I got the fish on the second try so it took me 2 minutes tops. Not something to get hung up on unless you don't pay attention to the red x you follow on your map all game long.
Whoops just answered my own question, I have to kill a enemy with that shot grenade or rocket. Sheesh, don't think I will pull that one off very easily...
I didn’t really have much expectations for Onechanbara Bikini Samurai Squad other that wanting to see one of those weird Japanese import games focused on cute chicks fighting. In the intro cutscene seeing the two sisters getting ready to fight zombies made be laugh out loud. Heh, the character Aya got caught in the shower during this current zombie apocalypse and had to quickly don her cowboy hat, feather boa, swords and sport thong!
The game controls were pretty bad, graphics reminded me of a Playstation 2 game and I just didn’t have a lot of fun with the boring battles and confusing map to get from encounter to encounter. Right off the bat I didn’t clean my sword, guess in the game a clean sword is important and if yours is too dirty it will get stuck in zombies? So I died a bit trying to figure that out and the game manual is worthless trying to figure out any details about the game. If you are interested IGN has a decent faq at

I got in about 7 out of 20 chapters and just wasn’t having any fun anymore, really you would think scantily clad women fighting zombies would be a no-brainer and be some fun. I can’t even really say this would be a decent rental since I’m taking mine back for the next game. Hey, maybe the video store will have X-Blades left!
Wow, I have been on a roll lately with games. Last one I tried out for a couple days was Afro Samurai. For me it was fun for the first couple of hours, the cell animation looked really cool and Samuel Jackson as the storyteller was kinda interesting. But after a couple of hours it just was fighting the same guys over and over with nothing too different to shake things up. But what really frustrated me was the camera in the game. I was forever fighting with it to look in the right direction and face my attackers. Also the perspective can get real funny and for about 5-10 minutes I got stuck hovering between two rocks, if they want a platformer where you have to hop from rock to rock with some precision a bad camera and some glitchy spots really doesn't work. May be fun for a rent but I wouldn't really shell out $60 for it. Also while Samuel Jackson as the storyteller was interesting it also got on my nerves with the constant swearing and yelling at Afro. After death and between loading he would yell AFRO!, I got so sick of that. But it did make me curious enough to want to see the cartoon and if it was any good, so it worked in one respect.
I loved the Lord of the Rings books and later the movies that came out but never got around to playing a Lord of the Rings video game until Lord of the Rings Conquest. I really wasn't impressed by the game and was pretty bored with it quickly. I think I played thru half of it and stopped at the evil retelling of the story. It just was a lot of running around and mashing on buttons and once and awhile getting to play as one of the hero's from Lord of the rings. Even that was underwhelming and playing as Argon or the Warrior class didn't feel too much different from each other. I wouldn't even say this was a good rental and certainly not a buy. If your a Lord of the Rings fan I won't say you should pick it up just because of what it is. Other than it's just a sad grab for some more cash.
Yeah, I think that is going to be my next choice. Was thinking maybe Fable 2 but I need to mix it up a little and not get burned out on too much rpg action.
