The Arisen will rise again in Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen

Greetings fellows,

I got a new announcement, the wonderful Dragon's Dogma will go on in the part of this new series, which had the best starting of a new video game series for 10 years, I don't know which series this was and it' s also very hard to imagine,...hmmmmm, which series started 2002 and was very successful,...hmmmmmm, I REALLY DON'T KNOW, but something comes in my mind that has nothing to do with this riddle, but I heard, that Kingdom Hearts had it's 10th anniversary in 2012, but enough of this, which series started 10 years ago.... I really won' t get it.

But let's get back to Dragon's Dogma, this perfect starting is really worthy for the game's content in almost all points. Months ago I told a friend of mine, that he needs this game, especially because the fighting system has many parallels to Monster Hunter, so he bought it and was only going to try it, but play very much later. You can guessguess what happened, he played for hours, days and weeks as I diddid, because this series is just awesome, the main plot is about a persons attacked by a fearsome dragon, who stole the persons heart, but not killing him, because of kinda necromantic curse. From there on your journey for getting your heart back and facing your arch enemy, the dragon, has begun.

That' s pnly a short summery of this game, but it's much more than this and I'll prove this in next weeks.

But now let's finally get to the reason for this entry,.... talking about cooking comedy like cooking a sea star with sliced cheese on it, btw, when was the roast of Spongebob Squarepants,... damn, I guess, I forget so much today.

Now it's time to announce...*drums*.. Dragon's Dogma will go in Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen, which will released April 26th in 2 versions, disc and download.
Some pictures to tease you now. Soon some more information will follow.

That's all for now, I think it's time for a new video to follow in the upcoming entry.

March will bring a vampire hunter

Hello everyone,

I' ll show you a picture, and before you read on you have to guess, which game the picture belongs to...

Well, I guess at the bottom of the picture you found the logo, it's the new Castlevania Mirror of Fate and will be released March 08th. As soon as I'll get some more information, I will tell you. But for now there are screenshots and the packshot of the upcoming vampire hunter game with the Belmont Clan.

Let it whip!

Nintendo Land part 2 and some Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate facts

Hello everybody,

the first mini game of Ninteno Land that I wanna show You today is Captain Falcon's Twister Race. Those of you who played F-Zero on the good old SNES, the N64 or Game Boy Advance or those who got the bonus download games for buying an early Nintendo 3DS should know Captain Falcon, he was also playable character in the Smash Brothers series.

As you can guess his mini game is about catching an eagle cooking it and serving it to a captain..., no it doesn't, it's about driving a race.

As you can see you control the racer by moving the pad left and right. 

The next game is about Animal Crossing. In Animal Crossing you gather ressources, plant trees, catch bugs amd so on, it's hard to describe Animal Crossing is a short way.

In the mini game Animal Crossing: Sweet Day you walk around and have to collect fruits and bring them back to your "base", You have 3 hearts and have to avoid damage by the guards, if you collect the needed number of fruits the game is won. You can collect more or less fruits, the more you collect the slower you are.

And now something different, the new Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will be released March 22nd 2013, the packshots are allready released, in Japan the game called Monster Hunter 3G and was released in December 2011. In the next entries I will tell You a bit more about Monster Hunter in general and especially 3G. As a small Teaser, I present the packshots and an artwork, which also used for the japanese packshot.

Next time we'll meet again

Some pictures inside of the Hard Rock Café

While choosing a new video I found my pictures from Tokyo 2010. I showed a video from outside of the Hard Rock Café and now I present you some pictures from inside.

The Café in Roppongi, next to the main street, which leads to Tokyo Tower. The claim of their cafés is: All is one, Love all, Serve all. Hard Rock Café is not just famous for their well known shirts but also for their artefacts of rock culture. In Tokyo you can find stuff of KISS, Ringo Star, Ozzy Osbourne and others.

2 years ago, a kinda different style.

As this is a blog for games and other things, I show you a video at CAPCOM PLAZA in Kichijoji.
