No More Heroes 2 Short Review

Ok so out of the three games I got that came out on the 26th, No More Heroes 2 was my favorite, I like Tatsunoko Vs Capcom and MAG (well I actually GOT MAG on the 29th...) but No More Heroes 2, much like it's predecessor, was a masterpiece of wonderfulness. First off let me say that the 8-bit mini-games were a great idea and are very addicting and since you don't have to pay for every ranked match, making money isn't as tedious as the first game, well tedious would be a strong word to use... Anyway the only two mini-games I don't like are the tile one, but to be fair I only dislike it because it's like a game for people with the IQ of Albert Einstein and the Scorpion one, you know the one that's not 8-bit, yeah I just didn't like that one... Also I think that pretty much every boss was imaginative and memorable (except for Million Gunman, I forget his name all the time and sometimes just forget that there were two bosses you fight as Shinobu) also, seeing who was going to be next was just as awesome as the original, oh and now they have this mode called "Death Match" that you unlock after beating the game and holy crap it's awesome, you basically replay all the bosses, but the only problem is, that you fight them on like bitter mode or something because I only got Million Gunman to half freakin health. Anyway, speaking of Bitter mode, it's in the game... and it's hard... and I mean freakin pull out your hair, yell at your TV, throw your Wii Remote, impossibly HARD, seriously I couldn't even beat Skelter Helter on Bitter and you can hardly even consider him a boss since he's so easy. Also, you can play this game with a classic controller and trust me it's way better that way, on my first playthrough I used the Wii Remote and Nunchuck so that it would feel like the original, but then on my second playthorugh I used the classic controller, and holy crap, it was awesome, seriously I urge you to the classic controller for this game, it also makes the 8-bit games feel more... what's the word... I guess "smooth" would be the word. Also, play as Shinobu feels a little bit awkward when jumping, really it's not the worst jumping mechanics I've ever seen and hardly noticed it in the second boss that Shinobu fights, and playing as Henry feels like playing as Travis, but with no charging and with a dash move instead of melee, and trust me that dash move will make you wish you had it for the whole game. In conclusion, this game is totally worth it and the story will really be the main selling point, and if you already have the first one, then what the hell are you waiting for, you should already have this game.

This Week in Weekly Jump

Ahhh, what a great break, I seriously needed that break but now I'm back, with a new Weekly Jump summary.

Naruto Chapter 480

Current Battle: Sasuke Vs Danzo

- Alright so we left off on the "did Sasuke hit the real Danzo?" moment and let's see if he did...

- Wait... So Danzo has one eye left and it seems like he can do the technique again but something is wrong...

- For some reason Danzo can't use the Izanagi.

- Oh, they explain it, you see Sasuke used a Genjutsu to make it LOOK like Danzo had one eye left but he really didn't.

- Ok so Danzo is beat and... uhh... to heal himself Sasuke bites on Karin's arm... yeah...

- Danzo gets back up and this time using the Sharingan in his left eye to fight.

- Danzo takes Karin hostage...

- Holy crap, I seriously can't believe I feel sorry for her but Sasuke just attacks right through her to get to Danzo... Oh and that's were the chapter ends.

Bleach Chapter 390

Current Battle: Everyone Vs Aizen

- Ok we left off when Hitsugaya released his Bankai and talked about one of Aizen's speeches, the one about like hatred or something.

- Hitsugaya charges at Aizen as we FINALLY get to see where the hell Gin has been this whole time.

- Wow while Hitsugaya does his cool ice themed attack on Aizen Love and Sajin use their Shikai/Bankai to help him out and Aizen is obviously still doesn't even have a freakin scratch on him.

- Aizen breaks Sajin's Bankai's sword with ease...

- And cuts off Sajin's arm as well...

- After Sajin gets practically killed by Aizen, Love and Rose try to attack from behind using their Shikais

- The chapter ends as Gin talks about how amazing Aizen's powers are.

Sorry about this but...

I will be taking a break this week, I know I said I didn't want to make a habit out to taking a break and if I want a real following of more than 3 people reading my blog I need to post frequently and be reliable enough to not take breaks often, but at least I am reliable enough to tell you guys, so yeah, like I said I will be taking a break for this week, there may be a post on Saturday but I'm not sure, I mean this is Mid-term week so I really need to focus on studying and whatnot.

This Week In Weekly Jump

Ok gotta study for finals so, I gotta hurry this up, oh and as a little notice, I think I MIGHT not post during finals week, which is like Tuesday - Thursday, I might write a post on Monday but I'm not 100% sure on that, if anything it'll be quite the short post. Anyway let's just get on to the summaries shall we?

Naruto Chapter 479

Current Battle: Sasuke Vs Danzo

- Ok so Tobi explains what Danzo's Izanagi power is, and it's basically able to make anything (for just a brief moment, and we're talkin seconds) a dream, even injury or death, making it the perfect Genjutsu.

- Oh and it can make the user's attack reality.

- He can basically only use the Izanagi once for every sharingan he has, and once the jutsu is cast, that eye will close, forever.

- Danzo summons a giant wind elephant (in the world of Naruto this is very normal) to finish Sasuke off since the Susanoo can't really move while an elephant the size of a mountain is trying to suck them up.

- Sasuke uses a Katon blast... and fired it at the beast's mouth, which... "killed" it I presume?

- Karin finds out that every minute one of Danzo's Sharingan eyes close, Sasuke also figured that out without her help...

- The chapter ends as they both clash, and by clash I mean impale each other in the stomach.

Bleach Chapter 389

Current Battle: Ichigo Vs Aizen

- Ok so we left off as everyone said something like "This is our fight too Ichigo" and now Hitsugaya and Kyoraku try to sort of double team him.

- Shinji is sort of sad that Ichigo didn't bring Orihime with him, so they could all be healed like nothing but he says he'll let it slide since he brought Unohana.

- All the Vaizords charge at once...

- Soifon says something to Ichigo about an opening, and he has to pay attention or he'll miss his chance.

- Then she says somethin about everyone fighting to stay alive...

- It's kinda awkward to summarize something like Bleach because most of it is fighting and metaphors, or at least now with them fighting Aizen it's more like sword clashes and metaphors...

- I'm not sayin it's bad to have a villain who's deep or whatever, but it gets a little embarrassing when these summaries turn out to be like two sentences long...

- Hitsugaya goes Bankai...

- The chapter ends as Hitsugaya gets pissed off after some comment Aizen made about Hinamori.

PS3 Wand (Motion Controller) Vs. Project Natal

Ok, so I am not trying to do a "I am a PS3 fanboy so Wand!" or a "I am a 360 fanboy so Natal", I will be buying both so I don't want people getting the wrong idea, I mean I sort of take the Wand as a peripheral and Natal kind of like a separate console, and I mean that Natal trailer practically made me crap my pants, it was just so awesome, but I am proud to say the following statement that I will definitely stand by all the way "If the Ape Escape PS3 Wand game comes out along with the PS3 Wand, I WILL get it before Natal if they are released around the same time." I am dead serious about that because I am not gonna bitch to Sony about a new Ape Escape game then when it finally comes out push it aside for later because of the shiny new thing from Microsoft, hell no. Also, about the Wand, I know that isn't the official title for it but it's what I like to call it, oh and another thing about it, there is actually already a list of games that are going to be made for it, I copied this list directly off of Wikipedia so I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate:
Ape Escape (working title)
Echochrome 2 (working title)
Eccentric Slider (working title)
Sing and Draw (working title)
Champions of Time (working title)
Motion Party (working title)
Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition
The Shoot (working title)
Tower (working title)
Under Siege

Oh and there is a list of games that will have motion control added in through software updates, again copied from Wikipedia: LittleBigPlanet, Pain, Flower, Hustle Kings, High Velocity Bowling, and EyePet. With no official word on any Natal titles I really hope we get something good for a launch title, like one of those games shown in the trailer. Also, one thing that really interests me when it comes to Natal is fighting games, it showed a fighting game in the trailer and honestly that was my favorite part of the whole video, I never bought fighting games on the 360 because of the crappy d-pad, but Natal could actually change all of that and make me really want to start buying more fighting games for the 360. But like I said before, with the PS3 Wand I get an Ape Escape game with motion controls, I mean I could literally be waving the net and stun club around to catch monkeys, on the long awaited next gen Ape Escape game... I think that if they come out during the holiday season I will try to get both of them for Christmas, and I seriously can't wait for Natal because I see it as sort of the future of gaming, like maybe we won't be getting a next gen system this year since it's way to soon, but we get the next best thing with Natal. And this might not be a very positive thought to end on but... I really hope Natal and the Wand don't... you know... suck...
