Baten Kaitos Complete, and some NewGrounds stuff

Hi all!

I have been meaning to post this up for some time, but stuff kept comin in the way, in other words...I was lazy.

Anyhow, I finally completed Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean a few days back, and have since started playing Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer's Call (Nocturne for the Americans and Japanese). Baten Kaitos, is by far the only game I have taken a good number of months completing. I'm usually done in a couple of days, two weeks at most, but in this circumstance I was busy, since I started playing this during University. So, as the work started to pile up and the deadlines got closer, I had to shelve Baten Kaitos and pick it up as soon as I finished University.

My Verdict on the Game: A real gem, and a must have for RPG enthusiasts who want one for their GameCube (Tales of Symphonia being the absolute MUST HAVE).

The voice acting is a main issue, it's pretty decent but when emotional scenes occur, they seem to skewer off and ruin the mood. Very reminiscent of the 3x3 Eyes Anime; decent voice acting, just very bad when emotion is required.

That's the only fault in the game, everything else is fantastic. Gorgeous graphics and an extremely beautiful soundtrack. You're bound to find your favourite song in no time. Storyline was refreshing, something I have never really come across in the game. At the risk of sounding cliche, there are too many twists to count and all questions are answered, so you aren't left hanging at the end.

Now for the really long-awaited stuff. Near the beginning of my holiday, my brothers were browsing NewGrounds and came across some Mortal Kombat flash videos. These were quite amusing and pretty well done, you can find them here:

Mortal Kombat Crossovers

Raiden's Crossover
Liu Kang's Crossover

Mortal Kombat Vs. Street Fighter

MK Vs. SF
MK Vs. SF 2

And here's a pretty amusing Stick-Man fight that my brother showed me a while back:

Animator Vs. Animation

Enjoy the goodies :D
