I just had to make a pause from retrogaming to talk about the new PS3 game 「PUPPEETER」 which in my opinion is nothing less than a true modern day masterpiece.

I haven't had much free time to play games lately, yet I've managed to spend some time with the new JOJO fighting game 「JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE : ALL STAR BATTLE」 for the PS3.

After clearing more than half of the story scenarios, my impressions are a bit mixed.

Welcome to 「RETRO GAME DAISUKI !」mk.II.

Due to a very unfortunate and irreversible change of blog settings I've been forced to move my blog from

http://retrogaming.blog128.fc2.com/

 ▼ to the following adress below ▼

http://retrogamedaisuki.blog.fc2.com/

So please bookmark it.

I still have to move the mayority of the older posts, but (hopefully) that shouldn't take too long.

I've also given the blog a small facelift. Mind you this thing is a whole mess of html and css coding that makes me wanna cry... but I've been on this format for so long that's not as easy to move to another template.

This should do for the time being though.

Also please note that overall the blog is still under construction.

I still have to edit some layout stuff, import and update the site links, oh and the search function doesn't work and I haven't a clue why....

I only hope that this doesn't come to be a problem in the future.

Anyway, please feel free to vist, comment and rate on this new adress from now on.

Let's continue supporting retro games!

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of Japan's best-selling RPG series. SQUARE-ENIX has released an exclusive Wii compilation disc containing the first three DRAGON QUEST games in both their original 8-bit versions and 16-bit remakes.
