Record of Agarest War Naughty Limited Edition: Make your family wonder

Before I go into my own personal feelings on this; here is what the package includes for $59.99.

The Really Naughty Limited Edition comes in a special case and includes an Original Sound Track CD,a 26″x20″ pillow case, the game itself, and to top it off, a mouse pad with gel bre… wrist rest.

The game itself is a strategy RPG and Aksys games has said that it will be truly a hardcore strategy rpg, despite the fact that the game also includes a dating system where at the end of the game, you pick one of your female party members to be your wife and give birth to the next generation of hero, through something called the Soul Breed system. Which makes me question whether or not the game will allow multiple play throughs, with your main character at first, and then your son or daughter years later.

The battle system is also pretty interesting including chain attacks and combination attacks with the whole party. Including powered up attacks with your female party members if your “affection meter” is high enough with them to destroy your opponents.

Quite honestly I don’t really know what to say about this one, I mean I love strategy RPG’s, and the fact that they are releasing a brand new one on both the 360 and PS3 is great. But the way they are going about it is a bit strange. This is probably the first dating game to come to America on the 360 and PS3, so it is a bit questionable on how well this will do. The game is rated T though so chances are there will be no actual nudity.

Though to be honest I will be looking into this game, because the actual battle is quite interesting looking, although the dating side game is going to be a unique, though strange addition I’m sure some people will enjoy that part as well. I may even enjoy it depending if it is done well and isn’t disruptive to the storyline.

Then there’s the bonus special edition up there, which is interesting considering nearly all of those things would normally have to be imported from Japan for $20 on their own right. Like the mouse pad and the pillow casing, though quite odd, usually cost a lot of money on their own. So to tell the truth the Naughty Limited Edition will probably be worth the money if you enjoy anime styled decorations and items.

The game itself comes out on April 27th 2010, and pre-orders are available now.

Story
Dragon Age: Origins has redefined the modern fantasy roleplaying game. Now, the innovative game from BioWare becomes the latest hit comic from EA Comics! In a time lost to history, a war ravaged the land. Mages, incredibly powerful wielders of magic, ruled the world through mastery of dark arts and forbidden spells. Their lust for power almost destroyed all existence, and unleashed an unholy pestilence, the Darkspawn, to plague man, elves and dwarves alike. Now magic is carefully controlled, taught behind the sacred walls of the Circle of Magi, and monitored by the ever-vigilant Templars. It is in this arena that a new generation of Mages in training will arise, warriors of sorcery who will defy the rules of the Templars and change the course of the world forever.

Dragon Age is available on the Playstation Store for only $2.45

Get Flirty and Dirty playing games

IGN have posted an article about the new website GameCrush, it’s a pay to play with chicks site.  Interesting concept I think, but the question is, would you pay $8.25 USD to play with a girl online.

The concept is simple.  Browse the girls online – send them an invite to play and if they accept you get 6-10 minutes of play time one on one!  The girls then get paid.  Checking out the GameCrush website – they entice the “Play Dates” with “Earn up to $30 an hour or more!”  Pretty good money if you ask me to play games.

You can search for your ideal girl and what game you want to play.  So for example – find a girl who wants to be flirty and dirty on MW2!  Every guys dream?

Let’s go over the pro’s and con’s of this, for both guys and girls.

Guys

Pros

1. You get to play games with girls!

2. You might actually find that special someone.

Cons

1. Get addicted – get poor very very quickly.

2. Become more of a recluse.

Girls

Pros

1. Get paid to play games.

2. Meet Mr Right.  Well at least you start by having one thing in common?

Cons

1. Dealing with guys being guys.

2. Feeling like you are being pimped.

What do the readers of Capsule Computers think?  I know alot of girls online getting hassled from guys who think that Xbox Live is a dating service or a place where girls are treated badly.  Then there are others who enjoy the attention and have alot of fun playing online with guys – anyone for UNO?
