PSP Sengoku Basara Chronicle Heroes – New Import

ncsx — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 16:05:49 +0000

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The ~2 minute cinematic intro for SBCH starts off with a thick stream of calligraphy ink that winds its way into the battlefield. There, the ink blends into the ground where it witnesses Warring States warriors wrangling with each other in wanton displays of wickedness.
Five Sengoku Basara games have been released thus far where players controlled generals and decimated the opposition in expansive theaters of conflict in old time Japan. The goal in Sengoku Basara Chronicle Heroes is fighting the opposition but instead of battling entire armies of enemy grunts, the game pits a duo of warriors against another duo in 3D combat. Scenarios and backgrounds from the previous Sengoku Basara games are featured in Chronicle Heroes for retrospective reverie.
At the outset of the game, players may select a war general from a roster of 32 fighters which include 4 new characters to the Sengoku Basara fold. The fighters attack with standard melee attacks but they can also pull off smashing combos and special attacks that wallop the opposition.

Nespresso Coffee Capsules Recycled Into Insects
«©NCSX» The Nespresso is an aluminum capsule which has been hermetically sealed to preserve the rich aromas and flavors of freshly ground coffee from the effects of light, humidity, and air.The Nespresso aluminum capsules can be recycled into boring sheets of aluminum foil or more Nespresso capsules but Switzerland-based artist Alex Aebi upcycles them into the dainty form of insects. By cutting the capsules and shaping them into wings, antennae, thoraxes, and legs, Alex creates insects that look like they should be crawling, fluttering, or chirping in their natural habitats.

PSP UnchainBlades ReXX – New Import

ncsx — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 16:33:18 +0000

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» When a dragon king named Fang wields too much power and catches the attention of the Goddess of the world Crunea, he’s stripped of his powers and relegated to wandering the land. Together with a rambling band of fellow travelers, Fang descends into dungeons that reside within lumbering bipedal giants known as Titans. Fang’s goal, and that of his party’s, is to reach the bottom level of the dungeons on order to have their wishes granted to them by Crunea. In the case of Fang, he wishes his power to be returned.
The battle system is reminiscent of earlier RPGs where the party’s portraits are arrayed on the bottom of the screen while enemies appear in the foreground and background. Attacks are meted out through simple commands and monsters may be “broken” so that they join the party and battle on behalf of Fang and crew. Early preorders ship with a bonus DVD that was given away by the publisher in 50% ratio.
