First Contact

So, its been a while since my last blog, but I've got something informal to talk about here again (finally). I just went cheap ds game hunting with Zac and Steve, and have happened upon a very interesting title. I picked up Contact, an RPG developed by grasshopper and published by Atlus here in the United States. While the combat can be repetitive and boring alot of the time, as you simply walk up to an enemy to attack it, the narrative more than makes up for it.

A professor from outer space crash lands on earth while being chased by aliens who deem him as a threat. With him is his white space dog (?) Mochi. When he lands, he meets the player (you) and addresses that you are communicating through a mysterious device called a DS, breaking the 4th wall in such a fun way. As the player, you guide a young boy whose mission it is to collect ship energy shards. The goofy dialogue and characters make Contact really interesting, and I can only hope it will get better the farther i get through it.

Other than that, I've really just been playing Demon's Souls, and that has also been a blast. Both incredibly challenging and rewarding, the more I play the more I want Dark Souls to just come out already. I'd suggest preordering a copy like I did for the extra goodies for no added fee.

I guess that's all for now.
