Greatest Apologies

As many of you know, this was a site where I reviewed mostly Anime, however, the busyness of my schedule has put this into a back place in my mind and unfortunately I must kill the page known as The Simple Ways of  a College Gamer.  It suck but I must do something to get my schedule better organized and unfortunately there is not room for this, despite it being fun.  I wish I could do more and, who knows, I may revive it again some day.  But until that day I bid you all a fond farewell.

More Growth!

As I said welcome to Hikachan, I am now saying welcome to Hindenburg, our new author for the site.  Thanks for joining, and we hope to see something from you soon!

A Game with Tea Time: Game Review PSP K-on Houkago Live

By: Hikachan 4/21/2012

Awhile back, I bought the k-on psp game from play-asia.com. Being a hardcore K-on fan, I was extremely excited to play this game. I had already watched the trailer of the game and saw that sega was producing the game. Already playing project diva, I had a good feeling of buying this game for about 70 dollars which is normal for an imported game. When it did finally arrive in my front door step, I took it out of the package, took it to school, and played it through my English class. 

Well at first glance the game is in complete Japanese characters.In result, anyone who can't read Japanese will probably have to take a Japanese class or just fiddle around until you get to the performance button. There is also a clock, event, ad hoc play or multiplier, title, album, and dress mode. This is quite a lot considering its a fan service game.

The game play is quite simple. Its a standard bar that runs in real time going over notes. Although the game content does persuade for a sub-par game for fans, the game play actually has a very difficult and strict grading system. even compared to guitar hero, the game is stricter on its judgement of timing. The first time I played the game, I had major problems of getting used to the timing of the notes. Instead of hitting them right when the tempo line crosses the note, you must actually hit the note slightly before as if you were actually playing an instrument. The punishment for the missing notes however is very light. Individuals are pretty much able to mash buttons and still pass the song with a very low rating. However, that is were the game gets hard. The game contains many rewards such as costumes and in game menu items. These items usually require some sort of rating in able to unlock them.
