NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The original Final Fantasy games belted out melodious beeps and boops for the sound effects and music. They didn't sound bad but that was old-school chiming and sound chip technology has marched onwards. When the series reached the Super Famicom, melodious musical scores became the norm for the franchise. The songs progressively got grander under the guiding hand of Nobuo Uematsu.
For the thirteenth Final Fantasy, Nobuo stepped aside and handed the reins over to Masashi Hamauzu who has worked on Final Fantasy X and Saga Frontier 2. The new FFXIII Original Soundtrack spans four CDs which are packaged neatly in a foldout binder. All preorders are shipping today and new orders are welcome.

NDS Dragon Quest VI - New Import, Split Shipment
NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The sixth Dragon Quest begins in quaint and relatively quiet fashion. A campfire flickers within a forest clearing which keeps the blue-haired Hero and his friend Muriel warm. The sound of insects that sing only at night permeate the air. A third soon joins the two - a somewhat brusque adventurer named Hassan - and the trio all ramble towards a castle...
Dragon Quest VI was originally released for the Super Famicom in 1995 and NCS recalls the average selling price at that time was roughly $130. For one game. We've been told that it was worth every penny however from diehard game fans who also didn't flinch when Bayonetta rang in at US$80. Square Enix has been slowly remaking it's way through the Dragon Quest series and volume VI concludes the successful remake run on the Nintendo DS.

PS3 End of Eternity - New Import, In Stock
NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Sega and Tri-Ace team up to create an RPG where the populace of the planet resides inside a massive tower named Basel (not Babel) that was built ages ago. Inside the tower, a lad named Zephyr and his pony-tailed friend Vashyron work for a security firm which keeps the peace. The third member of their party is a girl named Reanbell and all three are handy with firearms. When a problem inside the tower causes the purification system to go wonky, the social situation inside Basel begins to get uncomfortable.
The opening cinema shows Zephyr swinging like Tarzan to save a girl named Experiment-20 from certain death. She has leapt from an overhead platform and he catches her in mid-plummet but as he zooms through the air with cargo in tow, the rope breaks and the two drop downwards. Holding hands, they pass a massive clock and utter a few words to each other without any sense of fear. Eventually, they spread their arms and float downwards like skydivers except neither of them owns a parachute.
PS3 Last Rebellion - New Import, In Stock
From the Publisher
Junovald is a world governed by the power and will of two gods: Meiktilia presides over the death of all life and the destruction of all things. Formival presides over the birth of all life and the creation of all things.
Meiktilia has been said to bless two types of people with special gifts. "Blades" have the unparalleled and supernatural skill to destroy the physical structure of things. "Sealers" use magical abilities to destroy the metaphysical, the spiritual structure of things. Formival's power is farther reaching and less exclusive. His remarkable power allows all things, once dead, to revive. When creatures face death, their original souls, or spiritual structure, escape their vessels of flesh, which are in turn controlled by a fragment of Formival's soul. These monsters, imbued with the spark of life by a god, grow stronger once revived and become a threat to others.
These undead creatures are collectively known as Belzeds. Due to their nature, they cannot be defeated using normal means. The true destruction of their physical and metaphysical structures requires the power of both a Blade and a Sealer. Only then will they finally cease to exist.
PSP Tenchu Kurenai - New Import, In Stock
NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Sisters are doing it for themselves in the Tenchu Kurenai game. Rikimaru has gone missing and its up to Ayame and a new gal named Rin to save the day. As the story goes, Rin's village has been destroyed by a rival clan and she vows vengeance upon her enemies. Rin encounters Ayame and mistakes her for a member of the murderous clan but the two eventually clear the air and resolve to work together. Rin goes on missions issued by Ogin who leads the Beniya assassin group. Similar to previous Tenchu adventures, the name of the game is stealth and stealth kills where Rin and Ayame gently waltz up to foes in order to slash throats, eviscerate, and disembowel folks. Ayame may perform various stealth kills such as the "Crossed Blades" where she shears a target's throat with crosscut action and "Twisted Fangs" where she plunges two blades deep into a foe. Rin also has a repertoire of stealth kills including "Sundered Prey" and "Twin Serpents" which are equally impressive to witness. During their travels, Ayame and Rin encounter guards, archers, samurai, and many others who attack with specific weapons and tactics. Dogs are also present on the grounds and they present a threat in that they will alert the guards to Ayame's presence when she's skulking around.
The new Tenchu borrows a feature from games such as Manhunt and Splinter Cell where the girls kill, carry, and then hide bodies to keep them from view. A dead body in the middle of the village tends to draw suspicion and unfavorable reactions from the locals...
