Now Playing - April 29th, 2010

Welcome to my oriental edition of Now Playing, where I share little tidbits of games I'm currently running through.

NOW PLAYING: Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2 (DS)

Oh boy, this game is a fun one. It's a rhythm game, in the fact that you have to tap, slide, and drag your stylus to the song. The manga/comic style of the game is colorful and fun to look at, and is easy to understand if you don't speak Japanese. The only downside of this one is that the song selection isn't as varied as the first.

NOW PLAYING: Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes (PS2)

This game is also a blast. It's a beat-em-up, very similar to that of Dynasty Warriors, where you take on hundreds of enemies as a single character. The combos are easy to understand and fun to pull off, and the game is filled with a style all of its own. One downside is that without a translation guide, this game could be tricky to play. But it's well worth the time and effort to get in and mess around with the Sengoku period of Japan.
