Rated:
= This is a review of Utararerumono ( Game ) =
It's been a very , very long time since I've last played a Visual Novel this enjoyable.
The vital focus on this game is not it's plotline but it's characters. A cast of characters the audience would
grow to love after witnessing their typical everyday lives , to the dread they bear in a battlefield to the pain they
bear in their hearts as the story goes on.
I found myself laughing , heartbroken and touched from one game with a fairly instable plotline that lacks proper elaboration here and there. I also find myself disturbed by a certain set of events , intrigued by the mystery behind the past of the protaginist or perhaps simply laughing my head off the comical scenarios of the game.

Z827's Atelier Rorona Game Review
Rated:
= This is a Review of Atelier Rorona ~Alchemists of Arland~ =
Well , I can't say that this is my favourite game nor can I say it's one that I could find myself to
detest.
There are many flaws and yet there are some points about this game which you can't ignore.
Still , it isn't really a game meant for guys nor girls whom prefer more action-related games , for this is
seriously one game I've ever encountered in my life which is probably targetted at young girls with a young
mind.... Oh , no offence here.
If your a fan of the Atelier series , you may find that the combat system is greatly weakened from what it had used to be and there is a greater focus on the alchemy feature of this game.

Z827's Princess Waltz Game Review
Rated:
This is a Review of Princess Waltz
Whilst it is linear , allowing little influence from the player and have little special events and bonus scenarios for a
Visual Novel , it is heavily compensated by the storyline , which grows stronger and stronger over time with it's
cast of unique characters.
Though perhaps not all of the factors of the game is finely explained , the story still progresses smoothly over time ,
leaving little neccessity of concern for some parts of the story of which still remains a mystery to the
player.
It is also interesting to see the strength of bonds between people , the bonds of friendship and love , which is displayed in a way more unique and in a stronger way compared to that of other Visual Novels.

Z827's Choujigen Game Neptune Game Review
Rated:
= This is a Review of Hyperdimension Neptunia =
... This game is honestly speaking , very poorly made.
The only defining trait in this game is the cute girls and nothing more.
The storyline is bad , there isn't even enough fan-services for a fan-service game ( EVEN AGAREST CAN DO BETTER! )
, the jokes are bad and the gameplay itself? Could be better.
Still , I've seen worse games than this , if your fond of Magical Girls and all that moe , you could probably get
this , but for hardcore gamers and JRPG fans , stay away from this like a disease.
It does bear it's unique traits and features , but the developers seriously need to buck up and put more effort
into evaluating these features' true worth and bring them to the next level.

Z827's Final Fantasy XIII Game Review
Rated:
= This is a Review of Final Fantasy XIII =
To be fair , Final Fantasy XIII have a form of gameplay that differs greatly from that of the previous franchises.
Whilst retaining the original formula , it requires more active thinking and strategizing from the player , whilst messy
and annoying at first , it would soon grow onto you as you grow used to it and that in itself is a form of beauty that
this game has to offer.
But the beauty of this game , the music , the gameplay and the graphics , are marred by the linearity of this game , the poorly developed characters and the fact that the story has failed to excel nor amaze as it was expected to have done so.

Z827's G-Senjou no Maou Game Review
Rated:
= This is a Review of G Senjou no Maou =
Generally speaking , this is a very good Visual Novel , pulled down by very significant flaws.
The morality complex is there , the plot progression is generally stable , the character development is there but the
atmosphere is really wrong.
One can't but help feel moody even in the most regular of everyday scenes , whilst the atmosphere does play
it's part in the later part of the game , it had totally ruined the earlier chapters of the game for the grim aura
it's giving off all time round.
Whether you can get to savour the action you would enjoy in the later parts of the game would really depend heavily on
your patience and determination.

Z827's Parasite Eve Game Review
Rated:
= This is a Review of The 3rd Birthday =
The 3rd Birthday might not have neccessarily done the original storyline justice , for it had failed to deliver the
similar suspense , the mature themes , the dark , mysterious atmosphere that a fan would have once enjoyed in the older
franchise , Parasite Eve , nor does it offer the RPG elements it had once offered , The 3rd Birthday is still enjoyable
in it's own way , for newer fans to get into the Parasite Eve series and older fans to witness the revival of the
perhaps unknown series , for it is overshadowed by other works of Square like Final Fantasy.
Not to mention , it's strangely addictive gameplay would keep you hooked for months.

Z827's Freezing Manga Review
Rated:
= This is a Review of Freezing ( Manga ) =
... I must admit I was pretty surprised.
I was seriously under the impression it's going to be something that's solely about fan services , seeing that
the Anime adaptation had convinced me of it , but it seems that the Manga was slightly different in the sense that it
prioritizes it's heroines' background , the battle scenes and the suspense it occasionally offers.
Ecchi is but a sub-genre and is hardly the motivation of why the readers would want to read the Manga , seeing that
actual fan services doesn't really come by too often , but the morality issues and dark atmosphere surrounding this
story would get you hooked on like a fish.

Z827's The World God Only Knows Tv Review
Rated:
= This is a Review of The World God Only Knows =
Despite it's heavy resemblance to the Manga , it is actually really entertaining even if it's watching the
same thing again since the developers have actually done a lot to emphasise on the artwork and music of the Anime.
Though not particularly story-oriented , this Anime features unique and captivating ( Well , probably too strong of a
word , but no matter :P ) short stories which ends with a beautiful conclusion.
Naturally , this Anime is further supported by the presence of humor relief which further lightens the mood of the viewers.

Z827's Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi Tv Review
Rated:
This is a Review of Ookami San
Well , I guess this Anime is far from perfect , but considering it's flaws , it's still strangely attractive
and addictive to a certain extence.
The storyline's puncutated with anti-climatic jokes that kicks in at the wrong time , or mild events that
doesn't really set up a proper mood for the audience , but it have it's fair share of proper character set ups
and background , as well as a cast of unique characters and personalities. ( Well , we have a evil loli in here...
