Gaming Update – 3/16/08
Mar 16, 2008 in gaming
So I finally got my replacement Silver DS lite (JP) and tried it out. I used to use my DS lite as my second alarm clock (the one that really gets you up in the morning), and so I finally can have a regular morning schedule again. It’s strange how much a second alarm clock gets you up once you’re used to two. Or maybe the chirp that the DS lite gives out is ingrained to my subconscious and something just clicks to get me up. In any case, I’m glad to have one once again.
Apart from the clock, I got back into Final Fantasy III on the DS. The game is a lot of fun, and is very “old school Final Fantasy.” I haven’t played any FF’s between FF1 and FF7, but this one is great and reminds me of the first. I’m still not sure whether I want to put screen protectors on the DS though. I got some light scratches on my last DS lite from Elite Beat Agents, but I figured out that it was caused by the holding the stylus too diagonally, as opposed to point it perpendicular to the screen (straight down).
Lastly, today I figured out how to set up the Rock Band controller from PS3 to the PC in order to play Guitar Hero III. Add the HDMI/optical out to my TV and stereo, and you pretty much have GH3 better than any console version out there. I do like the Rock Band style controller much better than any of the Guitar Hero ones. I think the graphics on PC are a little better as well.
