Another Legend of Zelda early title re-washed, we didn't ask for, but we sure deserve.
1 von 1 finden das hilfreich I've watched alot of Adventure Time in CN, and I sure get all the Dungeons & Dragons, Final Fantasy, Tales of Symphonia, Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Legend of Zelda references in the show. I've also played the DS version of "Hey Ice King, why you steal our garbage?" which is a pretty decent re-wash of the awfull "Zelda II: The Adventure of Link" for the NES, and I have played the "Explore the Dungeon Because I Don't Know!" for PS3 which IMO is awfull boring. This "Secret of the nameless kingdom" is also a love letter to the early Legend of Zelda games, the gameplay mechanism is similar to the "Link's Awakening","Oracle of Time/Age", "The Minish Cap", the player as Finn (with the help of Jake), has three princesses to save, each princess is in a dungeon, guarded by a Boss. What Finn needs to do is learn some ability who'll allow him to enter the dungeon, those abilities are earned by helping other characters, by getting them some items, after that it's time to explore the dungeon, solve some puzzles, defeat the bad guy(s), save the beauty and earn something in return. In comparsion with the retro sources, the game is too short, and hollow, but it's Nostalgic, the voice over is good (it's not only text, like the previous titles), some puzzles are challenging, and some items are fun to craft, in another hand, Finn's mobility is incompatible with the analog, some movements get stuck in simple things as stairs, or already cuted bushes, the sword movement also takes alot of time to respond, even after you upgrade the character, the background music is repetitive, the enemies variety is short, the lack of quests makes the game also short, and the "Loading screen” time is extensively painfull between stages, rooms, dungeons.
Do I recommend you this game? Yes, if you like the early Legend of Zelda games, or the Adventure Time show, or just if you're looking for a game to play between games, or even if you want to have your kids to experience a similar adventure you experienced on your NES, and SNES back in the late 80's early 90's.
Should you give big money for it? Not really. The digital version of the game is on the PSN for less than 10€, and believe me the amount of "Loading screen" time is shorter than the physical version.
This "Secret of the nameless kingdom", sure deserves a spin, but only a short one.

A good substitute of the Component cable
Well, if you have a TV set with component input, then you don't need this device, does exacly the same as the component cable (YPbPr), but if you have a TV set without any component input, then this PS2 to HDMI does the work, it's great, easy to use and gives great quality to the image. I've read alot about it, and seems that if you have a PS2 Fat and you like to have the console stand, you may have a problem with the power cord, since the exit is too close to the "ground", but I have a PS2 slim, and I don't even need to have the usb power cord connected to the USB port, works very well without it. So, once again, if you want to have your old PS2 rockin' on a new HDTV who only has HDMI inputs, this may be the right purchase.

My only laptop
I love this laptop, my parents bought me when I was in college back in 2009.
9 years after and I still use it, sure I made some upgrades in the process, since ebay has some cheap CPU's I've changed the Athlon 64 X2 Tk-55 for one AMD Turion x2 64 TL-66 for less than 13€ so has now a 2.3Ghz cpu (you need to upgrade the bios), I also changed the 500gb HDD for a 250gb SSD, and replaced the CD drive for the 500gb HDD with the help of a caddy I bought on ebay for 3€, a couple of times after I changed the motherboard, because mine had the audio jack broken and one of the ram slots started to get loose for some reason, so I order an exact model of the mobo also on ebay for less than 20€, and at last but not least I tried something a little bit expensive, I order two sticks of 4GB Crucial RAM for 60€. Was a bit expensive, and I kinda didn't know if would work, because everything points that this machine only accepts a ram upgrade up to 4GB and not 8GB, but since the Turion CPU is a 64, I gave it a try, and guess what? It worked, my laptop has now 7,7GB (because 260mb of the memory goes direct to the graphics card), and now it can be used for Netflix in HD (thing that was impossible before), Photshop, Dreamweaver, Premiere, some old and recent games such as Rise of Legends, Mount & Blade Warband, Paraworld, Age of Empires HD, Day of Defeat Source, Brothers in Arms, alot of recent point & clicks, Silent Hunter 4, etc
It's a decent laptop, if you're in low budget and need something. I recommend it.
