Yes, it’s very much a look-alike and play-alike of the original Legend of Zelda then again, Atlus never really tried to cover up the fact that they were essentially taking the “original Zelda formula” and running with it. I haven’t been following the Zelda fansites all that much in recent years, but no doubt it’s been discussed on the forums at the least if not on the site itself. Some of you are probably familiar with it. I recently picked up a game called 3D Dot Game Heroes for the PS3. Some of you are probably wondering where Zelda fits into this article. In fact, I call myself a “plot bloodhound” now, and it’s a role that I accept perhaps a little too willingly since I absolutely relish a good story. I have to keep my nose to the plot and follow the story through to the very end. I don’t have the time to go through and do every last mini-game and side-quest.
With a resolution to kill off the entire stack of unplayed games by the year’s end, I have to finish a game a month in order to make any real progress because, don’t you know it, new games are still being made- Heavy Rain, Mario Galaxy 2, and White Knight Chronicles.
And so with these latter games, I had to make the call I had to let go, stop playing them, and instead play through the games that really called out to me.īut even with those games that I’ve really enjoyed… well, even I can’t afford the time to ruminate on them to my heart’s content. But there are also some games in that stack that just haven’t held my interest- Halo 3: ODST and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. I can’t just afford to buy every game that remotely interests me and expect to find the 10 to 40 hours it’ll take to slam through it I have to be selective now, a fact I realized ever since I discovered at the turn of the year that I had a stack of games that I had purchased but never actually played that was about a dozen high! There are some gems in there too: Assassin’s Creed II, Skies of Arcadia Legends, Valkyria Chronicles, Odin Sphere, among others.
These days, there are good games getting churned out several times a month, a problem made much worse by my ownership of a DS, a Wii, an Xbox 360, and a Playstation 3 (not to mention-finally!-a rather capable PC).
