And also, DSi LL is officially released. Yet another reasons to not to get it. Reasons ? its already stated at image above, nothing new.

portal_2-june11

So, another good game coming also, Portal 2, valve officially announced it and also valve said that Steam is finally coming to Mac, so those apple fanboy can start saving your money to buy steam games !

Now its time to rant <rant>

So, recently, Sony, announced something called “ Playstation Move “ so what the heck is that ? Its a new game controller, motion detecting, same as Wii, why did I said same as wii ? Well check this out.

PlayStation-Move-2-540x473

This is the Sony Playstation Moves.

nintendoWiiE306_002

Now this is Nintendo Wiimote and Nunchuk.

wait a minute, i should use this 1 instead.

black-wii-remote-and-nunchuck-controllers-america

Any diff guys ? –_- Well, thats not it, Playstation so called Motion detector, “ Playstation Moves “, is far more accurate than the Wiimote, its uses the “ Playstation Eye “ to detect the Colour Orb on the Move Controller.

Well, not to say that I a Wii Fanboy or anything, I like PS3, the game on its awesome, same goes to Wii, I like Wii, but seriously sony ? Playstation Moves ? Its just totally a rip off from Wii, don’t guys have any honor ? Well atleast Microsoft tries something different with the Project Natal.

What I trying to say is, the Playstation Move is nothing more than a Wii rip off, well, I know those Moves Controller has more accurate motion detecting, of course they had, Wii was released for how many years already, during that time, the motion detecting technology is not that great until now. Nintendo also released the Motion Plus last year. To gives the motion detecting more accurate, but its still not fully utilize. Well, the game developer still not using this function much.

wii-motion-plus

So, still think its different than the wiimote? how about watch this video.

Of course after this im going to get full of flaming by all those Sony Fanboy. Hell I don’t care. Cause its the truth. Some of you might thinks its normal, yea business, people copy others people works. But well yea, I was hoping something different. Oh well.

</rant>

so now that I finished ranting, wanna see another weird news ? Selling Pantsu . Now thats new to me, image below somewhat related, credit to sankakucomplex.

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth review

HELL YEAH ! oh yea, Hey guys ! its been awhile since my last update. Well, not to say that I’m busy, just plain lazy I guess. Oh yea, the usual me :P

ace_attorney_investigations_miles_edgeworth_boxart

Anyway, this time around, I’m going to be reviewing a game ! and the game is, yet of course from the title, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. Its a crime solving game ! Which is develop by  Capcom and acts as one of the Ace Attorney Series for Nintendo DS !

8HOnN

Anyway, this game is available at Play-asia for only RM120 ! Thats is a bargain, if you think its not worth it ? well kindly read the review first yea :D

Anyway, Here goes the Review ! This time around, you will be following Phoenix Wright childhood friend, also his Court Rival which is Miles Edgeworth ! a prosecutor. Unlike from the previous game, this game mostly consist of investigation at the crime scene, as the game title, investigations take place within the crime scene, where you, as Miles Edgeworth need to solve the Mystery with any available evidence and thru logic !

IMGP3684

Similar to the previous game, the game is mostly just a point and touch gameplay, but its a bit different with the new 3rd person view instead of just pointing and examine the crime scene. You can actually run around the crime scene, view the the crime scene in more detail.

IMGP3685  IMGP3686

As you can see from the image above, there clearly a different between the previous series of Ace Attorney, well, if you play them =/ Overall the game is very similar to the previous series. Just a bit of change in gameplay only.

IMGP3687 IMGP3690

Unlike the previous game, there a cross-examination, where you as Defense attorney cross-examine your client or witness for more info and search thru lies. This time, its been changed to Rebuttal. And it not involve inside the court. You as Miles Edgeworth will Rebuttal your witness or suspect at the crime scene itself to solve thru lies and mystery.

IMGP3707

IMGP3704 IMGP3708

In any ways, its clearly very similar to cross-examination in previous game. And also, this time around you will be solve the mystery by using Logic. Similar to the previous game , each character got ‘special skill’ for example in Phoenix Wright : Justice for All, where there a Psyche-Lock system where you can unlock witness or suspect truth. And in Apollo Justice, there a Perceive System can be used to look for motions or actions made by witnesses that show nervousness. Well this time around, Miles will be using Logic System to solve the mystery.

IMGP3699 IMGP3702

The logic system is you can connect 2 mystery to solve the mystery itself. Its quite nice. Though sometime its quite hard to solve it if you going more into the game.

IMGP3696 IMGP3697

And of course the return of familiar faces ! Including the goofy Detective Gumshoe and of course the whip lady Franziska Von Karma. And also the bad luck girl Maggey and Steel Samurai. Even Wendy Oldbag !

IMGP3701 IMGP3692

And of course there a lots of humor in this game like the previous game :)

IMGP3695  IMGP3693

In any ways, I think this basically the review, now you don’t want me to spoil more of the story no ? :P

Overall the games is nice, well story and very complex mystery solving. Sometimes the obvious is well seen, while the others is quite brain melting thinking. =/

I will give this game a 10/10. Nice storyline, well packed mystery solving which is all the episode is related to each other. The presentation is nice for a NDS game. As you can see from the screenshot.

Oh yeah, for you guys who thinking you should get the previous series first its quite okay, Cause the solving mystery doesn’t have to do with previous series, but if you do want to understand the story more, including Miles’s Past, Gumshoe and all other character that returns to this series, be sure to play them first.

Anyway thats its for today game review, till then~
