Japan400!

Ohayo! Okay, so this weekend I had some fun in Plymouth celebrating the Japan 400 and did some super fun stuff! I got to do epic craft making (origami cranes X3, drawing manga and ongiri making) and even got to learn how to write my name in Japanese! There were amazing stalls and a market fair. Anyway I had a great weekend and I really enjoyed going round all the stalls and trying all the different things. Until next time!

Professor Layton, Pokemon and other favourite games!!!

Konnichwa my fellow otakus! After spending a week without wifi, I felt like I needed to get some gaming done, not to mention finding a Professor Layton game at a car boot sale- so I decided that I might share with you my top 5 games (DS) to play!!!

1. Pokemon.
It's fun. It's fairly simple and let's just say there's a reason why almost everyone (even non-otakus) have heard of it. I like this game because, no matter how old you get, it's something you'll enjoy. However, even though it's fun to play, it does have some downsides, for example- the repeating plotline. Other than that, great game.

2. Professor Layton.
Good for fans of Sherlock and riddles. I love this game for its great storylines and puzzles, not to mention animated clips in between. The downside is however, that the later games extend to other consoles, which is annoying if you can't afford a new console, or don't want to get one.

3. Super Mario Bros.
Fun. Lasts long. One of the traditional games that everyone loves. It can be irritating, but the epic worlds and levels (plus power ups) are what makes it unique.

4. Final Fantasy.
One of the best RPGs. It has battles, epic graphics and a lot of tactics. I like this game because it has good characters and a nice storyline. Bad points- it's quite confusing trying to fight with 5-8 characters at once!

5. Sonic and Mario at the Olympic Games.
Even though I am not the sportiest of people, I enjoy playing this game mainly because it's fun and competitive. The mini games are also great and the wide range of sports you can play is good. Great for a collaboration  character game.

So there we are! I thought it would be nice to do something slightly different to my normal post, seeing as I rarely do any posts to do with gaming. Till next time sayonara!!!
