Pokemon Conquest Review up at Hubpages.com

Specifically, you can reach the review over at http://winterfate.hubpages.com/hub/Pokemon-Conquest-A-Review

To summarize the almost obscenely long review I wrote up over there, Pokemon Conquest is a spinoff title set in the region of Ransei, where Pokemon do not dwell in Poke Balls and there are no trainers either (they are Warriors). The game itself operates on an episodic nature where the protagonist of each separate episode has different objectives in mind (but most are usually: "conquer the other kingdoms").

You don't capture Pokemon: You Link with them. Each Warrior has a Perfect Link that represents the perfect Pokemon partner for that Warrior. In the tutorial protagonist's case, their PL is Eevee.

The combat is pretty simplistic for a strategy RPG, as all Pokemon only have one available move. Each move has its own attack radius. Some moves hit only one target. Others hit a tight clump of targets. Others yet hits a loose clump of targets.

In essence, if you're a strategy RPG fan or a Pokemon fan, this title is for you. Otherwise, you may want to get it a discount or give it a pass.

I'd write more, but my left thumb is killing me from all of the writing (space bar too strong). It's twitching on its own. :O

Until the next time, take care and have fun! ;)

My 100th Hub Published at HubPages - A Videogame Primer!

The blog title says it all: I have officially published my 100th hub over at HubPages.com. In a nutshell, it talks a bit about the roleplaying and strategy genres of videogames for the benefit of those people who don't play games on a regular basis. It then goes on to give examples of easy games within each genre I wholeheartedly recommend to new players.

If you want to check it out, click on any part of this sentence!

In other news, I recently acquired a copy of Final Fantasy 3 for the Nintendo DS. It encompasses everything I used to love and hate about classic RPGs, from the random encounters, to the awesome story, to the lack of save points, to the insane bosses, to the addictive gameplay...I could go on for hours. Basically, if you have $20 to spare, you can't go wrong getting a copy of the game, at least in my opinion. :D

You can expect a review of FF3 in the coming weeks, assuming I don't get a job beforehand (which will probably happen, as if I ever need an excuse to take arbitrary hiatus anyways. :P).

Anyways, I hope all of you readers have been doing great. Take care and keep having fun! ;)

I wrote a new article on hubpages.com! :)

This new article is all about Culdcept, one of my favorite games of all-time. Imagine the child of Monopoly and Magic: The Gathering and you have a pretty accurate idea of how the game works. :)
