Finished Tales of Xillia again but this time Milla's story. Looking forwards to Tales of Xillia 2 and Tales of Symphonia Chronicles.

Playing through PS One Spyro trilogy, good gaming classics, already finished 1&2.

My hard drive cannot seem to be read by my Wii. Any easy fix?

Just completed the Spyro trilogy. Oh the nostalgia from when I did it as a kid

7 hours into Ni no Kuni and I'm not feeling the love that many others have. I'm struggling with the battle system, it feels so slow and clunky for a game that requires some quick change to defend at times. Not to mention the HP/MP sharing along with time limits on using a particularly familiar, is killing it for me. The story isn't that great (yet). All the way up to this point, the story felt stretched out and some of the game's designs are perplexing (I don't mind save points but when there's only one at the beginning and then one at the end per dungeon, WTH?). It just feels like a very slow game. I just got Esther into my party and I'm even dying during the battle tutorial! I'm feeling that all I'm doing during battles (particularly boss battles) is that I'm running away, wait for an opening, then attack or use a spell.

The game's pretty, but I hope it gets better otherwise I won't bother much with post-game and trophies.

Personally, I think mixing real time and turn based features was a huuuuuge mistake. Running in circles trying to not die all while trying to navigate an attack menu is not fun.

For those of you who play Diablo 3, I just found out that Sumalee Montano (Prime Arcee) was the voice behind Eirena the Enchantress. Boy am I surprised. Gotta say it was some great voice acting with the innocent and often times ditzy Enchantress.
