What I'm facepalming over is the number of stories, as noted above, where North Korea is the bad guy. North Korea isn't going to nuke or invade the US. They have no way to get a nuke or troops to the US. Their sole purpose of existence is being a big fortress to keep the United States Forces Korea from invading China by land. China is never the enemy because the Chinese government is notoriously thin-skinned and American companies are afraid of losing their cheap, obedient Chinese labor and iPad and movie ticket sales from the Chinese middle class. :)

We've had Red Dawn, Homefront (a Red Dawn video game remake written by John Milius, the original Red Dawn director), and now Olympus Has Fallen.

Happy Peeps Day!

Don't forget Homefront, which was a video game remake of Red Dawn written by John Milius.

That was before Capcom steroidized its character designs to the point of ridiculousness.

Lordy. Another implausible story about North Korea - a country that can't keep its lights on and whose sole purpose of existence is to act as a buffer zone between China and the United States Pacific Command -  somehow taking over the world. How many is that now in the past couple of years?

I don't think Tidus or FFX suck, although Auron is the king of badass in that game. Still like FFXII better though. However, I will definitely be getting the PS3 version of FFX HD.

My favorites....

Tifa Lockheart - as far as I'm concerned, Tifa, not Lara Croft, is the pin-up queen of the 5th gen.

Kitana (Mortal Kombat)

Bayonetta

Judith (Tales of Vesperia)

Ashe (Final Fantasy XII)

Cherry (Valkyria Chronicles)

Sakura Shinguji (Sakura Wars)

Never played this one. My experience with Star Ocean revolves around The Second Story and TTEOT. I'm a fan of Tri-Ace, however, mainly because of Valkyrie Profile and Resonance of Fate.

Soulcalibur looked pretty good on Dreamcast, but in Sept. 1999, I was more interested in Final Fantasy VIII on the PS1 I already owned, and I like SCII on Gamecube better. When I got my GC, the first game I bought was Skies of Arcadia Legends.

I recently saw a used game store selling the first four Sakura Wars games for the Dreamcast, and I'm really tempted to buy them. Sakura Wars on PS2 is one of my all time favorite games. I just wish I knew Japanese. :)

I'm more interested in the Cyberpunk game CDPR is working on myself. Might turn out to be smoke and mirrors, but we'll see.
