Animation begins art lives

This remastered telling of the beloved visual novel Hakuoki series is a continuation of the Hakuoki™: Kyoto Winds story and focuses on the story set in Edo, the second part in this two-part series. The young Chizuru, determined to find her father, will romance the famous warriors of Shinsengumi through a series of engaging stories and dramatic events. Now, experience new characters, love interests, and episodes in the world of Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms! Story: Chizuru Yukimura travels from Edo to Kyoto in hopes of searching for her father who had mysteriously vanished. Along the way, she encountered the Shinsengumi, and spent the next four years working with them to locate her father. In 1868, the final year of the Bakumatsu Period, the Shinsengumi, with Chizuru at their side, took part in the Battle of Toba-Fushimi to decide the future of the Tokugawa Shogunate against the rising tide of Imperial Nationalism. Unfortunately, defeat for the Shinsengumi came swiftly at the hands of the Imperial Army, and they retreated back to Edo in shame. It was a bittersweet homecoming for both Chizuru and the warriors of the Shinsengumi, as the city of Edo resembled very little of its former self, engulfed by the harrowing winds of change that were sweeping through the country. As the Shinsengumi's survival came under threat, they were faced with a choice: discard their principles, or give up their lives. Some of them had no such choice, and they cloaked themselves in darkness to protect the Shinsengumi's greatest secret: the Furies. This is a story about a girl who allies with the warriors of the Shinsengumi, who are struggling to uphold their faith in an era of rapid social change in Japan, and the fate of those who sought to resist that change...

Product Information An epic futuristic tale of adventure, magic and intrigue Become immersed in a exciting and original story line, featuring over 50 unique characters Explore over 150 beautifully detailed locations Solve a huge variety of story oriented puzzles Over 50 hours of gameplay Product Description The Longest Journey (U) has earned international accolades as one of the best adventure games ever made. You play as April, an 18-year-old art student who can travel between the twin worlds of Stark and Arcadia, shifting between realities as if stepping through a doorway. Save the balance among the worlds, between order and chaos, science and magic. Along the way, you will discover more than 100 unique locations and encounter more than 50 characters. In this point-and-click adventure game, you will be asked to solve a variety of story-related puzzles. Each scene is displayed using more than 16 million colours, and the characters are rendered in real time and consist of more than 1000 polygons each. Review The world of technology and magic converge in this tale of mystery and spirituality. The two worlds of Stark and Arcadia, have been in harmony for aeons, thanks to what they call the "Balance". However, the Balance has started to crumble and the two worlds are set to collide and its fate rests in your hands. The Longest Journey (U) is your basic adventure game, with the standard look-and-click method of play. The key to this enigma is April Ryan your alter ego in this alternate universe. The graphics are gorgeous, with cinematic cut sequences adding to the mesmerising plot. Special effects are generously placed throughout the game and the animation of April is excellent. The game designers have gone to the trouble of making the atmosphere of the game lifelike, with characters delivering lines at the right time to make the player feel that they are truly living in their alternative world. With plenty of puzzles in the game, they are logical and plentiful, but at the same time may be taxing at first and may require some lateral thinking to get them started. The Longest Journey (U) lives up to its name, with the game being played over four discs. It's a wonderful gaming experience and gives a warm welcome to those new to the adventure genre. - - Alex Leung

Independence War 2: The Edge of Chaos (PC CD) Platform: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT Condition: New Other versions of this game available from us: Platform: Pre-Owned/Used: Very Good Condition copies available Product Information Mission and sub quest based gameplay Stunning space flight animation Free form universe lets you roam 16 star systems and interact with their inhabitants Customise your ship and weapons through piracy and trading State of the art graphics User friendly interface and controls Internet and LAN multiplayer Product Description Review There's a fair challenge waiting for any gamers willing to strap themselves into the latest PC space-simulation-come-strategy game, Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos. Devastation, impending doom, pirates, space fugitives, missions, trading and that's just for starters. It's all rather fitting for the sequel to one of the hidden gems of PC gaming I-War, and the story picks up 100 years later with--ho hum--the Universe itself now under threat. Predictable maybe, but it does set the scene for a very involving game with a very long play life. For while at heart this is a simulation, the sub elements and quests--while still allowing reasonably free gameplay--do certainly keep you interested. Unfortunately, the depth of the game will no doubt act as a deterrent to the more casual gamer, and perhaps rightly so. For one thing, it's not too easy a game to get to grips with, as even controlling your craft on a basic level will take a bit of work, and also, to really get into it, you're going to have to devote yourself to the cause. However, if you are willing to invest the time and are mildly tempted, then you really are in for a treat. For this is one of the most polished and engrossing games of its type on the PC. Iced with quality graphics and compulsive gameplay, it'll simply leave you pining for episode three. -- Simon Brew Manufacturer's Description It's the 24th century. In the 100 years since the devastating Independence War, the situation has gone from bad to worse. Now the stakes are the universe itself. There's no good, no evil... just one man, Cal Johnston and his band of fugitive space pirates against the might of Caleb Maas and the all-powerful New Alliance. And so the adventure begins. Pilot your way through volatile solar systems, to trade, barter and seek out critical information. You must outsmart and outfight all who seek to bring the universe to the edge of chaos.
