eMagi.co.uk: Feeding your Anime, Manga, Videogame and Japanese Culture needs!

Everyone has their definition of heroes, someone to look up to, someone who inspires, someone of undying spirit and drive, or just someone that makes us smile or laugh. Whatever your definition though, I doubt there are many who’d argue Team Hoyt don’t deserve the title.

And see the video here!

How cool war seems,
When we’re foolish and young,
Big shiny things,
The tanks and the guns.
If only we knew,
Of the blood that is lost,
Of the families subdued,
Of the souls turned to frost.
So show them my friend,
No matter how young,
Do it to help them,
Show them it’s wrong.

You held on so strong,
To all those things that you loved,
You refused to give in,
Even when all you saw was blood.
The agony wouldn’t stop you,
Even though you burned with pain,
No one came to save you,
For it was you who were the brave.
Against all and everything,
Your heart alive like fire,
Your rage it did become you,
But eventually [...]

Yup, the Oscars was this morning, technically, but while I know little of modern film I do to some extent know my games (albeit vaguely when it comes to RPG’s) and this is… intriguing. Via Kikizo via NextGen via Famitsu I bring you the *deep voice* TOP 100 VIDEOGAMES OF ALL TIME!!!!! As voted by [...]

The Angel Child tried to fight,
with broken wings in vain,
They wouldn’t let it live its life,
purity drove them insane.
Don’t promise anything they said,
you’ll fail that much is sure.
Don’t try at all dear child they said,
for all you know is false.
Your dreams are nothing but emptiness,
your heart bitter and cold.
Your fears are real not in your [...]

A pretty random review/rant here regarding a film that went unnoticed to some extent upon it’s release (1996) but should be at least somewhat famous. At a time when Hollywood is struggling to justify rising special effects costs and originality seems a dirty word (something that could also be applied to many of the conglomerates [...]

So I look out the window,
and I feel the moonlight on my face,
I’ve been here before child,
but never with such easy grace.
It’s as if I know where I belong now,
no more searching for something beyond,
the light’s in the sky, out of reach,
and for once, I accept that’s where it belongs.
Not everyone gets to be an [...]

Okay, basically this article is something of a rant about my general apathy towards the ‘me-too!’ mentality of many developers and the damage it’s doing not only to their own IP, but the industry as a whole. My example in this case is going to be… Driver.
Yes, I know, Driver is almost as infamous [...]

Okay I admit, this title seems very negative but it is justified, I promise! The fact is I love this game… When it’s not being inconsistent. For a start Rockstar Leeds did an amazing job on the PSP port. Essentially, it’s like looking at a slightly lower resolution version of the original and on a [...]
