Well so much for posting something every week... Been busy working, teaching and of course my all-time favourite game WoW asked for some attention as well.
Last week a friend of mine came to me and brought a present, and what a lovely present it was! You remember I wanted that My Katamari case for the PSP? Well... I got it now! *cheers* It's not a hardcase like I thought but it's green and very prince-like! Love it.
And that was not the only good stuff that I received over the last couple of weeks. First an import shipment and great goodies: The dot pin figure of Link (see above picture).
And stage figures,
cool stages where you can drop magnets on and make your own versions of Super Mario Bros!
Those are the Stage Figure 2 sets, I've got the first one on the upper-left. And several magnets of course.
I also got these two new music games for the PSP. Or new.. one is rather old but now has (sort of) a sequel to the PS2 version: Gitaroo Man lives! I have the Japanese version and I like it a lot, except for the battle sequences, that feels more like buttonbashing than rhythm to me. The analogue stick works well for following the lines, and if I could just.. just, survive level four...
The other music/rhythm game is DJ Max Portable. A bit like Beatmania but without the scratch table of course. The game gets rather tough from the start, I can survive seven stages but after that it gets too much. And that's only on easy mode! It got cool tracks, different styles (techno, breakbeat, K-Pop) and several adjustable settings. It also got several music videos (all anime style) and the soundtrack. If I had known there is also a collector's edition of this game... Nah would cost a bit too much, and the DS lite is coming too!
Talk about the DS lite... I'm still training my brain.. and I'm currently...thirty-seven.. *blush* And I have to admit, I train everyday but I'm afraid to do the braintest again... imagine my brain got even older! No siree, I don't think so. So thirty-seven it is.
The last thing I want to share is... I am the proud owner of a Macbook Pro! Hell yeah! The ultimate design and I can even play WoW in the garden! Not that I got the Macbook for just that of course....erm.. I think? Anyways, it looks great but it takes some time getting used to the configuration and button layout and such. But... I'm so happy!!
I'm still hesitant on getting the Stage Figure sets, as I've already made up a new Spongebob design for my lavatory. What do you do with yours?
I've heard that "Gitaroo-Man Lives!" is no more than a mere port from the original version, with the only added levels being the multiplayer ones. Doesn't that fact, due to the shoddy battle sequences, lessen the value of this game? I've also heard about the limited range of the PSP's analogue nub to be more suitable for this game than the Dual Shock sticks.
Have fun with your MacBook Pro. A friend of mine just got one himself as well, and I find it a slick designed piece of equipment. You must spend loads on goodies by the sound of it.
