Even though I found that Twilight Princess was lacking in the area of creative boss fights, I really enjoyed fighting Zant. The multiple stages and teleporting to the different temples and using many of the items you found depending on the stage was really cool. Especially considering that you...

Link's Awakening was the only handheld Zelda game that held my interest. It had the substance of a traditional console packed into one little GB cartridge. Spirit Tracks was okay in the beginning, but then the controls grew more annoying as the game progressed and I spent more time figuring out...

Recently purchased a Droid X. Best thing I've bought all year. =)

My god, those dead hands. Creative genius at its finest, but dang, their design is absolutely grotesque, especially for a Zelda game. The bloody details, and then after you defeat it, it lingers for a while and just...twitches. Redeads are pretty scary too. I remember falling to the lowest...

Well, I can't exactly speak for Phantom Hourglass since I have yet to play it, but I wasn't entirely impressed with Spirit Tracks. There was virtually no overworld exploration due to being confined to the train, towns and "field" areas were pathetically small, and the Spirit Tower, while it was...

I own a PS2, Wii, N64, DS Lite, NES, GBA and GBSP...And a broken PSP. Nearly forgot about that one.

I like both. Twilight Princess had some very surreal and dark graphics, and the realism gave the game a more intense tone. Compare this to Wind Waker, which had cute and quirky graphics that reflected the exciting adventures of a little kid sailing around the world. As someone mentioned...

I've pulled of many an all-nighter, especially during the summer. I have sleep issues to begin, too, so that's definitely a factor. The longest I've gone without sleep was probably about two and a half days or so, though I'm not sure if that counts considering I was terribly ill at the time...

I figured they wouldn't incorporate voice acting. They haven't ever done it before, so why should they start now? I'm not opposed to it, though, and I'm sure if they ever wanted to change things up a bit they would do a fairly wonderful job, but there is something about the text dialog that...

I liked the intro to the game. The very first scene once you start a new file, that is. I don't know why, but that whole conversation with Rusl was just very...Surreal, in a way? It was a fantastic opening and more or less sets the overall tone of the game.

Every time I read an article like this, even if it's this late at night and I'm exhausted as can be, I still get all giddy and hyper with excitement for this game. Especially when I read that part about there being less of a boundary between dungeon and field. Stumbling upon random areas...

For female characters, I like the names Malon and Rikku. Short and easy to remember, but still very unique nickname-able. For male characters, probably Auron and Locke. Mainly because they were my favorite characters from their respective games and really stood out to me in terms of their...

Across the loch, On the mountain side, there lives a lovely lassie I would see tonight. But I haven't got an automobile, And my bicycle has got a broken wheel. So I'll be Floating 'cross the loch on my monster again. -"Ride My Monster", Enter the Haggis =)

Go to the graveyard and keep a close eye on the first Ghini on the screen. Then touch all the other grave stones, which will cause more Ghinis to appear. Lastly, find the original Ghini and kill it. Doing this will cause all of the others to vanish and leave behind a variety of droppable items...

I wish I had pets. My mom's not entirely crazy about the idea of taking care of any animals whilst I'm at college, unfortunately. I reeeally want a cat. =)
