OST Hikari no Senshi 4 Original Soundtrack - New, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» There's one word that isn't used much in the entirety of New York City and that word is "delighted." It's a perfectly good word but "delighted" just isn't in the daily lexicon of the Big Apple. Can you imagine a street food vendor saying, "I'm delighted to serve you a falafel from the confines of my humble food cart?" We can't. Earlier this morning, the word "delighted" was conjured upon hearing the second track titled "Horn, the Home of the Wind" on Square's Hikari no Senshi 4 Original Soundtrack. The first track "Four Warriors of Light" didn't elicit much of a response since it's the same old staid Final Fantasy theme that we've heard throughout the years. Track 33 "Crisis by a Hair" made us feel as if Armageddon was nigh.

The soundtrack contains a total of 41 tracks; although not all of the tracks are delightful, the OST provides an enjoyable Final Fantasy aural experience.

Cecelia's mother died giving birth to her and she was raised by her father who's a high-priest in the Temple.

The two heroes command a motley yet mighty cadre of warriors known as the Hexyz Force whom are arranged in 3 x 3 battalions on the battlefield to tackle monsters and opposing forces. The attacks are turn-based with the party members getting a chance to strike or use magic in every round against a contingent of enemies. Each blow or magic blast is shown with a short animated sequence which conveys some semblance of conflict during the skirmishes. After each successful encounter, a "Triumph" screen appears which tallies experience gained and any level-ups for the characters. The Triump screen is accompanied by the words "The Hexyz march onward in victory, their hands held high" which scroll on the top and bottom of the screen.

NDS Monster Finder [Japanese Nintendo DSi Only] - New, In Stock

Take a photo of any object, person, or place and the Monster Finder software will analyze the image and generate one of 150 monsters based on the picture. We're thinking it's based on color balance and pixel positioning... Early preorders will ship with a bonus Monster Finder carrying pouch in 40% ratio.

Wii Calling: Kuroki Chakushin - New Import, In Stock

From the Publisher
CALLING brings new heights to the horror genre, with a breath-taking control system that immerses the player into its nightmare scenario. The player begins the game trapped in a strange room, with the Wii Remote doubling as the on-screen protagonist’s mobile phone. Using a torch to scour the dimly-lit area, players will also receive mysterious calls to their handset, which are answered by raising the Wii Remote to their ear. From this simple basis, CALLING then ramps up the fear, as a ghostly voice speaks directly to the user…

The story revolved around the urban legend of the ‘Page of Black’ website. Rumour has it that anyone accessing the site will die from a coma brought on by an unknown cause. The site is a simple black page with a numeric counter in the centre, but is linked to a low-key chat room. Not everyone can enter the chat room, but on doing so, the player’s psyche starts to receive calls from ‘Abyss’,. They then enter a state of limbo in a place known as ‘Border’ which is seemingly located between life and death. There are several areas in the ‘Border’, and they are inhabited by Spirits which start contacting its various feelings via the user’s mobile phone. Occasionally, these spirits will also attack the player.
