Virtual Adept

We went on a little vacation to Salado, Texas, which is why I didn’t update for the last few days. The trip was pretty fun. I got to play my PSP quite a bit. Got even further in Burnout Legends, which is awesome and I posted a review of that already.

I also played quite a bit of Legend of Heroes: A Tear of Vermillion. This game is completely awesome, I can’t begin to say how cool it is. It takes some time commitment to get into it, because the game doesn’t really even get started until after almost an hour of cutscenes and minimal interactive scenes. But the characters are alive, and much deeper than in most RPGs, and the story is realistic and not crazy like some RPGs get. At least, so far, that is. I am about 5 hours in and am really enjoying it. Combat system is turn-based, and you have a lot of cool options for combat.

 Finally, last night I spent a couple of hours goofing off in Saint’s Row. That game is great too, it’s a sandbox with tons of fun stuff to do. I also never thought I’d prefer the console controller to the PC for GTA style games but Saint’s Row is a dream to control the vehicles. On foot part could be a bit better but it’s still very doable.
