Stupid imageflux. It’s been month and their images still not restored. They probably are not going to restore old images. No way of contacting them as their email address doesn’t work. Their interface has been reduced to some lousy low grade gui. Time for me to look for another image hosting site. Probably xs.to or Imageshack. Hmm….

Brief: Okay, another one of those classic games that made SquareEnix famous. So, as with everything classic ported to NDS nowadays, how could they miss out a good game like Chrono Trigger. I am sure sometime in the future it’s sequel Chrono Cross will sure to follow. I have not played this series before but as I know, this game plays around with time traveling. If you have played or read much about time manipulation you would know it’s not something easy to do. Time travel is something very tricky and hard to pull off successfully. Chrono Trigger did it right. Hence, the reason for it’s success.

Anyway, there were reported problems with this rom running on some game cards. The included ROM here has been patched and is working with R4DS. So, enjoy this game while on the go.

Description: When a newly developed teleportation device malfunctions at the Millennial Fair, young Crono must travel through time to rescue his misfortunate companion from an intricate web of past and present perils. The swashbuckling adventure that ensues soon unveils an evil force set to destroy the world, triggering Crono’s race against time to change the course of history and bring about a brighter future.

Release Date: 14 Oct 2008
Published by: Electronic Arts
Developed by: EA Canada
Genre: Sports, Soccer

Brief: FIFA soccer (football) is one of the few sports game that I actually play. The selling point for EA’s FIFA soccer is the graphics, animation and licensed teams. However, the series has seen it’s up and down where gameplay is concerned. I have played the PC version of this game and must say it’s better than the previous few version. Hope the goods get translated into this DS version.

Description: Step onto the pitch and play professional soccer your way in EA SPORTS™ FIFA Soccer 09. Powered by a game engine built exclusively for Nintendo DS that operates at 60 frames per second, FIFA Soccer 09 delivers dramatically more responsive, intelligent and realistic physical action. Double the frame rate enables players to move more fluidly around the pitch, react more intelligently to the action and creates a much faster paced game. Players make more intelligent runs, deliver crisp, beautifully placed passes and snap off precision shots.

From the moment you step onto the pitch, FIFA Soccer 09 challenges you to think and react like a real player through the popular feature innovation Be A Pro – now debuting on Nintendo DS. Gamers can play over multiple seasons and the mode features the unique Be A Pro camera that tracks your player, re-creating the excitement and rush of racing in on goal. In Be A Pro you choose a professional player or create your own player and then develop his skills in the outfield position of your choice until he becomes a national legend.

Ah…good to be back on track again. Was busy with work and that massive Moonlight Resonance post is really taking a lot of my time.

Back to some DS posting as usual and perhaps an upcoming post on Music. I have this idea to post discography of certain artist but it’s going to be time consuming because this will take time especially on research and gathering of download links.

Also upgraded to wordpress 2.6.2. That screen asking me to upgrade is really starting to annoy me. So, might as well upgrade this damn thing. If only the wordpress people make upgrading it a one click affair, then it would be even much better.

Language: Cantonese
Total Episodes: 40
First Airing Date: July 28, 2008
Genre: Modern Drama
Running Time: approx. 45 minutes per episode
Production: TVB

Brief: This is one of TVB’s major production series for year 2008. It contains a massive cast of mostly new faces with some very veteran actors. Even though this is big production series, it does not have the kind of massive feel to it like most of the previous TVB series back on those days. Maybe it’s the storyline that doesn’t allows it but other than this minor rant, the series does have very solid acting. Not to mention this girl who seems to be popping up in more and more shows. TVB have a new leading lady and her name is Linda Chung.

Descriptions: The new series will focus on Lee Sze Kei getting her family back together in the background of bakery business. A big emphasize is put on Lee Sze Kei’s relationship with her husband Ha Yu and kids Moses Chan, Raymond Lam, Tavia Yeung, Fala Chen, Lai Lok Yi, Vincent Wan and Ha Yu’s stepdaughter Linda Chung, besides her relationship with her adversary Michelle Yim and sister Susanna Kwan.

Romantic plots include Kate Tsui (Susanna Kwan’s daughter) fighting against Tavia Yeung for Moses Chan, whilst she will also be involved with Chris Lai. There will be conflict between Raymond Lam and Bosco Wong (Linda Chung’s colleague) for Linda Chung as Bosco Wong interferes as the third party between the loving pair. Susanna Kwan’s character will have “sister-brother” relationship with Wayne Lai and Louis Yuen, meanwhile Fala Chen in her challenging role as a ‘mute’ girl will be romantically linked with Dexter Young.

Throughout the series, Lee Sze Kei will try to run a steady business on her own in a bakery shop while her other family members live out a dream life with a billion-dollar fortune and big house. Lee Sze Kei has the custody of Raymond Lam, Tavia Yeung and Fala Chen, whilst Ha Yu has the other children. The series also focuses on Susanna Kwan, from her good heart, plotting “evil” ideas to get the family back together, while Michelle Yim plots to have the family stay apart from each other. Lee Heung Kam doesn’t make things any easier as she prefers his son (Ha Yu) to have Michelle as his wife than Lee Sze Kei.

Brief: This looks good and promising. For those who like to explore dungeons. Maybe even those who doesn’t like Dragon Quest. But who am I kidding. Everybody loves Dragon Quest.
