I finally got a chance to play Bangai-O<\/i> and Last Blade 2<\/i>. Both were quite worth grabbing hold of, in their own particular ways. <\/p>\n

Bangai-O<\/i> is essentially everything I thought it would be, only more addictive and weird. <\/p>\n

Last Blade 2<\/i>… I really wasn’t sure what to expect here, but I got more than I was looking for. The animation is very nice, and the voices are some of the best I’ve heard in a fighting game. I’m actually liking some of the characters who I hadn’t noticed before (though the names aren’t sticking just yet), and I think I am going to like the fighting system. It’s quite complex in theory, but somewhat simple in execution. The characters also have a nice sort of a feel to them — more limber and mobile than the SF\/KoF style and somewhat tighter and easier to deal with than the likes of Darkstalkers.<\/i> The game’s minimalistic use of music in favour of background noises is quite interesting as well. I think I’m actually going to spend some time learning how to play this properly. It’s not often I think this about a fighting game.<\/p>\n

On the way home I saw The Deep End<\/i>, a smallish film I’d been wanting to see for a while. If I can do the research to refresh my brain on peoples’ names, I’ll talk about it some more. As it is, I’m feeling a bit dumb saying much. It was, however, something to see. <\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
