Dungeons and Twins

So i've been playing a lot of Dungeon Crawlers lately, Notably. Mysterious Dungeon - Shiren the Wanderer, Etrian Odyssey , and just recently Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles - Ring of Fates. I especially like the item collecting aspect, i guess im greedy like that. Im not too fond of RPG's to be honest, i grew up on arcade style games, notably fighters and shmups, but of course, there are exceptions. I love Shiren because, its a rougelike set in japan, Nothing like a game with ronin's :D As for FFCCRoF, i guess, i was just itching for a good hack n' slash game. Though im not too fond of the multiplayer aspect, its a decent dungeon'er as well. As for EO, well, i did like Dragon Quest style RPGs, so, DQ+Dungeons = EO. Odd thing is, i started playing it 4 months ago, and im still early in the game, maybe i just suck in Wizardry style RPGs, or have been spoiled by JRPGs. Anyways, here's to the Nintendo DS, for having great old-school titles.

Also i've been listening to a lot of The Band Apart lately, good engrish tracks, with japanese rock/jazz sensibilities. Its perfect.
