Well, I just finished Phoenix Wright 3 today. I can easily see why people think this is the best in Phoenix Wright’s trilogy. Unlike the other games, 3 basically has one over-arching story (with two random cases thrown in.) That’s not the reason people like it the best, though. The third game is all about fleshing out the characters. It’s one steaming pile of character development.

Yes, even though we haven’t had a game from this series since 1991, we’re apparenly getting the 11th installment of the series, entitled ‘Rise to Power.” Nobunaga’s Ambitionis the Sengoku Jidai parallel to Koei’s Romance of the Three Kingdoms strategy series. From what I’ve heard, it’s also the better series. Having not played it myself, I can’t assure this, but I’m sure you can’t lose if you pick up this game.

You can read the press release here. There’s also a trailer you can watch here.

So, I finally got the chance to watch Gunbuster this week. I had been planning on watching on watching it for a while, but never really got a chance. Now that I have Netflix, I just decided, on a whim, to rent both Gunbuster and its sequel, Diebuster.
