Monster Hunter Portable 3rd

We've always been huge fans of Monster Hunter. In fact the reason why we bought our PSP is because of this game. It's just awesome that it now has two spin-offs: the online Monster Hunter Frontier and the cute-cute Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Airu Village and eight series: Monster Hunter, Monster Hunter G , Monster Hunter Freedom, Monster Hunter 2, Monster Hunter Freedom 2, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, Monster Hunter Tri , Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd is totally different from its predecessor games. Despite that, we're loving it.

1. World Maps= VAST. Psychoserum is a must (at least until we get used to where the main monsters are.)

2. New icons.

3. Village Farm has improved a lot.

Fishing and insect gathering have become easier.

Hunter can send up to 4 felynes to mine and this time using pickaxes not bombs.

Felynes can be sent off to quests and they bring home items.

Um, do you want it rare or well-done? =D

4. New Monsters = New Armor Sets & Weapons = Yay!!! :-)

5. We can now bring two felyne fighters during solo quests.

6. +++ We can armor them up. So kawaii!!! ^o^

7. Speaking of kawaii, check this. We ♥♥♥ this pig.

8. Instead of a kitchen, there's now a hot spring. Hunter must clear quests given by the felyne near the hot spring entrance to increase health and stamina. Bonus skills can be bought from the felyne inside the hot spring area.

There's so much more but there's just too many. So that's it for now. Hope you have a fun yet productive week!

Godeater

Godeater is a role-playing game (RPG) unfortunately we can not understand Japanese. I'm surprised how Naldo and I are on Level 4 now. For some reason, we can't seem to wait for the English version. Good thing the game is really easy. It's got multi player mode like Monster Hunter. You get to create weapons from monster parts. You get to change your hair style and outfit, buy and sell items, re-take completed missions, etc.

While on single mode, you can take missions alone or with AI friends. In most missions you can choose your companions but in "storyline" missions, they're assigned. Another good thing about the game is that when you get knocked-out, your friend can revive you. When the whole team gets knocked-out, only the player/s will get revived and the player/s will have to revive the AIs. When on multi-player mode, only the leader can take the mission. By the way, we also like how they made gathering easy with the sparkles.

Here are some of the commands: (note [] is square, sorry don't know how to do the keyboard shortcut)

O = yes/ pick up sparkles

X = no/ return

Attack:

[] = slash/pierce/fire (type of attack depends on weapon used)

▲ = dash+slash

X = jump

X + (attack buttons [] or ▲) = for "aerial" attacks as there are flying monsters

R + [] = weapon attribute (depending on weapon used)

Hold [] = charged slash (depending on weapon used)

Others:

R + analog = run

O = dash

R + O = defend/shield

Hold ▲ = god (for stronger attacks) & collect monster parts

R = change weapon blade to barrel or barrel to blade

Hold L= aim

To open item pouch:

Select, then L or R to choose, [] to use

There are still a few tricks we're trying to figure out, so we're pretty sure we missed out on things. Please feel free to share what you know in the comments box below. Thanks!

I love how my avatar looks like me. Just wish i could change hair color just like her. Anyway, here's a video of screen shots from the game play. Hope you enjoy it. Have fun playing Godeater!

Persona 3 Ending

Although it was like fighting 13 arcanas, defeating Nyx was easier than I thought. The persona abilities: "mind charge" and "salvation" really came in handy.

After defeating Nyx, Tartarus disintegrated and everything returned to normal. Everyone except Aigis seemed to have forgotten about the dark hour and their friendship. But during the graduation ceremony while Mitsuru was giving her valedictorian speech, she and the others remembered their promise. They all gathered at the school's rooftop.

It's been a while since I finished a game. I always look forward to the credits. It's like the trophy. Lol! :-)

Don't ever let the darkness take over your heart. :-) Happy September every one!!

PSP Skin/Cover (Cheaper)

Hello every one! Don't you find it funny when you find things you're not looking for anymore? We do. :-)

I think it was only weeks ago when Naldo and I bought a skin for my PSP. Yesterday, we found one that's not as expensive.

This PSP deco skin is by Caliber. It's only 66 pesos so the quality is not as good as the ones by Ideaskin (refer to previous post here).

But it'll do specially when you're just trying to cover chipped paint. We got this from Japan Home Center - Cash and Carry Mall. Not sure if they have it in all their branches but you can always check. They also have skins for Nintendo DS and I-pod. Hope this post helps. :-) Peace!

PSP Skin

Yay! Today, Naldo and I got a new skin for my PSP. This one is by Ideaskin. We got it from SM Mall of Asia Department Store- toys section. It costs PhP349. They have assorted designs available for both PSP2000 and 3000. Mine is supposed to be 2000 but I didn't like the options. So I got the 3000 instead. The skin fits pretty well except for the (home-select-start) button area where there's just a tiny bit of silver exposed. But it doesn't matter, I really love my PSP's new look. By the way, the skin's use life is 12 months.

Happy gaming everyone but not too much! :-)

Persona 3 (PSP)

Hello! Naldo and I have been playing Persona 3 for almost 4 days now. It's a very light/ stress-free RPG game. I like how the other characters be on auto during battle mode and still use the right magic or strategy. Aside from the battles, there are activities such as hanging out with friends in the game, working part-time or going to school. As for the school part, you have to answer questions like "Which of the following is a devilfish?" or "Where is the Kitora Tomb?", etc. There are even term exams which questions are fact-based. I just don't like it that my character gets to spend a whole afternoon making a wish when i still have a Junpei to date or Akihiko to train with. So little time, so much to do... Do you know that song by Arkarna?

Anyway, here's an edited video from the game. I laughed so hard... I couldn't get over it. Thought I'd share it with you. Have fun!

MGS Peace Walker Paparazzi Mission

This is one of the easiest mission in MGS-PW but just in case Miller is not accepting your shots then this post will help.

Just take a photo of the commander while he's doing this (can be close-up or a full-body shot). He has to be doing this exact pose -> wherein he's squatting and has the gun held up like this.

Voila!

PEACE!

MGS Zadornov Search Mission 3

Having difficulty finding Zadornov the third time? Warning: this post will tell you where he is.

Please go to CATARATA DE LA MUERTE.

You'll find Zadornov STANDING behind the tree. There's also a prisoner around the area- don't forget to "fulton" him up.

Hope we've helped. Peace!

MGS PW- Date with Paz

Select EXTRA OPS mission: Date with Paz .

You can wear any uniform in this mission. We just wanted to try the tuxedo and we thought it's more appropriate. Leave all weapons and bring two items: LOVE BOX and CAMERA!

The point of this mission is to win Paz's affinity. Edit your co-ops comm with the phrases you think will please her. Example:

Once in the mission, approach Paz. Say the nice phrases that you think she'll like from the co-ops communication. By the way, pressing CQC will make Snake grab Paz's chest. You can try it to see for yourself but then you'll have to restart mission because it affects the affinity.

If you think you've talked to Paz long enough basing on her response and gestures, you may start taking her pictures. Again say a few nice things. After that you should be good to put out the love box.

Mission Complete!

Completing this mission unlocks Metal Gear's Vocaloid Settings and AI Storage.

MGS Peace Walker Zeke Head Parts

Having a hard time getting the head parts for your Zeke?

The easiest way to get the head parts is at the PUPA BATTLE mission.

We also suggest you put on the BATTLE uniform so that you can bring 3 primary weapons.

The 3 missiles: FIM-43, LAW and C.Gustav are enough to put it down. Don't forget to bring supply MK just in case.

During the mission, make sure you hit nothing but the AI pod only. Once the pupa falls, climb up to the pod. Instructions will be given. You also have to make sure you get an S-Rank by completing the mission within 5 minutes.

We completed all 5 head parts within 4 consecutive missions! Good luck!

Ape Academy (PSP)

GAME PLAY: The player must work up from junior class to senior class by playing mini games and meeting the criteria for each class. In each class, there are 9 mini games to complete. Failing to meet the criteria rewards you with an X, while meeting the criteria rewards you an O. You then have to form a line consisting 3 straight Os horizontally, vertically or diagonally similar to the game Tic-Tac-Toe. Each level has a certain number of lines required to move to the next class.

How do we like this game? We like it. It's funny. It's cute. Some of the mini-games can be a little annoying because it doesn't really give a detailed instruction on the controls. But you don't have to be a genius to play this. Even without the instruction, it's pretty easy to figure after 1 to 2 tries. We like the variations of the mini games. It is definitely more fun to play compared to the usual card games. Graphics-wise, it's very "cartoony" which we think suits the game play.

Ape Academy is not exactly a must-play. But if you can try it, then that would be nice. :-)
