Game-bit of the day 036: Eternal Sonata (Xbox 360)
Here is a very neat game released for the Xbox 360. Eternal Sonata involves music and RPG. It's one of those nifty JRPGs out there. Be sure to pick it up if you run into it!

Finds 554: Project X-Zone Limited Edition is finally here!
I ordered this bad boy from Amazon since all the Gamestops were out of it. I think I'm going to start ordering from them more often. This is definitely a neat addition to my collection. Of course, I had to get the limited edition! Can't go wrong! ^_^

Retro-bit of the day 175: Dragon Ball Z Hyper Dimension (SNES)
Here is another kewl game I was able to pick up in my journeys to Peru. This one is Hyper Dimension for the SNES. Everyone knows this game as the best DBZ game for the 16-bit console. Believe me, the rest of them suck compared to this one!

Retro Game of the Week 128: Dig Dug 2 (NES)
Another week with another title. This time around is Dig Dug 2 for the NES. We have been hitting a lot of NES games lately so it's only fair to continue with them but the next couple of months will showcase other consoles, that's for sure. This game is different from its predecessor as it takes place in the open. The first one took place underground. I'm guessing the monsters found a way outside and our little hero must blow them up once again. It's not an amazing title, but it's definitely worth a mention.

The music is simple yet fun. It doesn't stop when you stop walking like in the first game. The simplicity of it makes it enjoyable. The sound effects are OK but seem to be the same ones from the first game. Nothing more to say about this.
The graphics are OK. They could've been better if they changed some of the monsters around and introduced new enemy attacks. Nevertheless, there can't be too much to say about a game that uses the same level design with just some mild differences in it.
The gameplay is average. There aren't many new tricks to use but it's still fun overall. You have to think of this an arcade game so the point being that you have to increase your skills on your own instead of finding items to help you with it.
The game is an arcade game at most and definitely a game to replay over and over for challenge purposes. The game itself gets tough like any of the arcade classics so be aware of the challenge that comes ahead. As a retro gamer though, this should be a no-brainer.
To conclude, there isn't much to say about this game but it's definitely a decent sequel to the classic series. I still prefer the first one over this one. I tend to have more fond memories with it but that's the only reason why I would pick it. That's about it, pick it up if you can as it's quite cheap!
