Noby Noby Boy reaches Jupiter

Call this oddly coincidental, but the day after I randomly decided to buy Noby Noby Boy from the PlayStation Store, the in-game GIRL reached Jupiter, unlocking a whole new planet to play with. And thanks to the game's YouTube recording feature, I can show it off to you now.



For those who don't know, Noby Noby Boy is a sandbox title for the PSN from Keita Takahashi, best known as the creator of Katamari Damacy. There's no real goal other than to just screw around with the character, BOY, and the environment. And, by stretching and uploading your length, every player contributes to the length of GIRL, who stretches across the Solar System. The 2D aspect that pops up in the middle of the video is a hidden mini-game.

Not much else to say, but a decent waste of $5 regardless. I may even review it in the coming week... maybe.

Fragile Promo Video

You may not have heard of Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon before, it's an Adventure RPG from the developer of Eternal Sonata, tri-Crescendo, and published by Namco Bandai. It's got a load of style and some of the most interesting looking environments I've ever seen in a game.



Looked pretty good right? The only worries I have are of the gameplay. It looks horrible. From the small glimpses you see of the actual combat, it just gives off a very clunky tank-like Resident Evil kind of feel. My hopes are that the atmosphere, story, and exploration, can make up for what's lacking in the combat department.

It would truly be a waste for such beautiful visuals to be blown on a lackluster game. I'm going to be keeping an eye on the game as it progresses, I'll wait for more details on the gameplay and story to be revealed before I get too excited... Hopefully this get's a stateside release in any case. Keep your fingers crossed!
