Mutant Apes Deserve Worse Than Death My main man Ron Perlman was on the tele last night and watching him rejuvenated my interest in updating this crap site. So in wharf fashion I have a few Ronnie pics for you to gander and drool over. If he was still alive I would love to meet him. Alas, he met an untimely end facing mutant apes of central america...damn those apes...damn them!
Okay, now that I have that out of my system I can get down to the nitty-gritty issues that perplex the society of man. Wait, look at those pictures again. Ron really is a "commoner" that has "made it" into high-society. I picked up a copy of Arc the Lad: the Collection and have been battling my way through the first chapter in the three chapter series. The game doesn't have the greatest graphics, more like SNES than PSX, but I guess I have to realize the game was made in '95. There are a few 3d cut-scenes...which are crap...even for back then. One of the better aspects of the game is the character animation which is done quite well. The game uses a higher animation rate than most average strategy games. The characters also have little attack words, which they say while...attacking. I really can't understand what most of them say, but I do love Arc's "Burn Groundo" in a Japanese accent. It truly is good, but still not as good as the classic, "Beverly Hills Wharf." My one major qualm with the game is that during these so-called strategy battles, the player usually wipes up the bad guys with maybe just two or three characters. With all the cool characters to fight as, the player never really gets to experience the full assortment and has two strong guys that destroy the playing field. Also on my game plate is Lufia for GBC. So far the game has been enjoyable to play. Playing it on the GBA gives my eyes a relief by enlarging the game, which is a good thing. The dungeons may be a bit boring, but overall it has been a good rpg to play during work. The story has you battling it out with these 4 gods or something and meeting individuals to add into your party along the way. I am only a early ways into Lufia, but it brings me back to the good ol days of SNES rpgs. The magic is decent, but I really like the idea of Ancient Scrolls which you find throughout dungeons. These scrolls can be activated to add certain special abilities to your characters. This is a nice addition to the attack options beside just magic and attack. Lufia has been interesting and enjoyable to play so far and definitely a nice diversion from the devil called work. Why not look at, Star Wars Pepsi: A Final Journey With Watto
