Was desperately looking for a game to play for these 2 weeks. FYI, I have been looking for a job for the past 2 months, so in order to kill time at home, while going for interviews and applying jobs online, I decided to play games again!

My PS2 have decided to fail me 2 years ago, and I'm only left with my PSP,DS and Wii. I won't be touching my Wii that soon, coz I need to setup the cables that I have taken out when my new table came.

Then, I went online to do a search for new games! I tried Taiko no Tatsujin DX for a week, it wasn't something that I like. I guess I'm still liking RPG games much better!
Saw a new game by Atlus, which made me want to get a XBox360 if not PS3. Creators are the same as Persona 3 and 4! Saw the review and its damn nice! But its more like a puzzle game, since you need to solve puzzles every night! If you're wondering what game it is, its 'Catherine'. Most gamers should have heard of this title!

Anyway, back to topic. I did a search on wiki to find new games in PSP and I saw this title, 'Shining Hearts'. Yes!!! Its the Shining series!!! The last time I touched the Shining series, 'Shining Wind' was 2 years ago. Finally, they have one on PSP!!!




Here's a intro video of Shining Hearts during TGS 2010


Character design is the same as Shining Tears and Shining Wind!
What's best, my favourite singer/seiyuu, Mizuki Nana is also one of the VA in it!!

The battle style is also quite different from Shining Wind. Its more like your normal RPG battle. Shining Wind is more of tactical battle if I'm not wrong!

Main story for this Shining series is the protagonist of the game, is being washed up to the shores of Windaria, and he meets his new partner, which you can choose which job, ranging from Magician, Archer or Priest. Then you'll join her in doing quests each day to learn about the country of Windaria. Until one day, a mysterious girl, is also being washed up to the shores of Windaria, and then the story starts from here, where you will help her regain her lost memories and emotions, and protect her from the pirates.

Not only that, the main thing about this game is the 'Hearts'. If you realized that this game is Shining Hearts, whereby you will need to collect hearts from people and then you use them to make bread! Interesting right?
You also get to do fishing too!!

Am totally addicted to this game last night!
Do give this game a try!
