More Tricks Up Takumi's Sleeve (Ghost Trick Review)

Ghost Trick features a pointy haired protagonist on a quest for the truth,
a food loving girl you must save on a number of occasions,
a lovable oaf of a detective,
a young girl who has a parent in jail,
a dead mentor,
a lawman that will stop at nothing to have a perfect record
a wishy-washy minister of justice--
wait a minute

When I first heard that Ghost Trick was being made by the same man who was behind Turnabout Trial, initially I was a little worried. I was thinking that this meant there would be no more Turnabout games, no more Phoenix Wright, and bye-bye Edgeworth. Fortunately, I was very wrong. Turnabout Investigation came first, along with the announced Prof Layton vs Phoenix Wright game, and now there's a second Turnabout Investigation game being released soon. With this franchise growing strongly, it seems like Phoenix is still here to stay. So with those worries aside, I was finally able to suck it up and try out Ghost Trick.

And boy, was it worth it.

ARghalskdflasd My Schedule

Sorry, guys. For the past while posts have been every other day, sometimes not a few days in a row. I have another job as a waitress, which means five days out of the week I spend eight hours on my feet. The tips suck this time of year so I usually come home in a very bad mood. Which means I have little to no energy for blog posting.


If all goes well tonight though, I'll have a review up for Ghost Trick. My next post will be a Glow Stick Cupcakes webcomic post. Thanks for the patience, you guys! Will have to see you later.

Current Addiction: Ace Attorney, Part 2

Well folks, I'm really sad as I type this. Is it because of Ace Attorney: Justice For All? Not quite. It's because yesterday, I bought two new DS games: Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective and Time Hollow. I played Ghost Trick for a bit and I am absolutely thrilled with it. But then I realized it was time to put down the DS and open up Blogspot. The sacrifices I make for you all!

At any rate, today's review is a continuation of the Ace Attorney series. Taking place one year after the events of the first courtroom drama, this game brings back all of the stars from the previous one, including... von Karma?!

New Collab Project With Pleyame!

Okay, so I hinted before that he and I would be working on something together. I'm not really used too much to the art style I'm trying out with it, but I like how it came out. And any gamer with ADHD can probably sympathize with Az about this problem.  More updates about this cute little webcomic to come soon!

Also: this is why I haven't made a lot of posts lately. Well, this and my waitressing job. I'll resume my reviews tomorrow. Thanks for your patience, guys!

My Bookshelf: Battle Royale

She's fourteen.

Breaking up the light-hearted, idealistic lawyer games, is a manga series I've been meaning to review for a long time. This is quite honestly the most gruesome, heartbreaking stories I've ever read. From the twisted mind of Koushun Takumi comes the blood-lust dystopian tale known as Battle Royale. Originally a novel, it was later adapted to a live action film and then a manga. I've only had the pleasure of reading the manga version, but I plan on picking up the novel as soon as I can find it. A word of warning, this story is not for the faint of heart. If you can not stomach graphic gore, rape, and potty-mouths I do not suggest picking up this book. Certainly don't if you're not at least 18, as there is near-pornographic levels of sex depicted on several occasions. Hell, I don't even recommend reading this review as I'm going to show several graphic gore images.

... and Wikipedia claims it's a romance novel. Hah.

Current Addition: Motha' Flippin Pleyame

Or maybe it's the Fountain of thin old Spanish guy and
short pudgy woman youneverknowitcouldbe.

So one blogger that I've had the pleasure of chatting with lately is Pleyame. He's really an awesome guy who's starting up a few new blogs, one dedicated to food, the other dedicated to funny webcomics. Being an avid fan of webcomics and cooking myself, we hit it off and have been helping each other out in the blogging game; I have provided a webcomic or two for him to blog about, he's helped me when I'm stuck on a review. He's joked that I'm the girl version of him (obvious bisexuality on my part aside) and I'm sure he's my long lost twin brother.

Anyways, if you're looking for a good recommendation for a webcomic or a deliciously unhealthy recipe, this guy's the person to follow. We'll probably collaborate a few more times in times in the future, so you'll probably hear his name again pretty soon!

Normal reviews will return tomorrow. Till then, see ya!
