Koala Gaming Diary – May 7, 2008

If you have a PS2, like brawling, and are looking for an engrossing story involving the Japanese mafia, then Yakuza is the game for you. I really liked this game a lot. I’ve never been to Tokyo, but I hear it does a great job depicting is nightlife district. Total playtime was around 12 hours or so, many of these minutes spent joyfully beating up nameless Yakuza. Plus, the lead character Kazuma has a very cool dragon tattoo on his back (see photo to the right).

On a different note, my Xbox 360 has been repaired and according to UPS is now residing in the ether between Texas and Connecticut. About time, I say. I’ve been dying to play GTA, Dead Rising, and Army of Two, and not to mention rocking out to new songs on Rock Band.

Also, have received a couple of more games from Goozex, including God of War (yet another game from my pile of shame) and…what?….what’s this?…looks like Uncharted, which will be my very first PS3 game. If it goes well, I might consider firing up my PS3 for things other than watching Blu-ray, playing Divx, or as a PS2 machine.

Up next: God of War. Time to battle the gods and apparently….a sex mini-game?!?
