Anime recommendations: Part 2
They cut the story short, introduce a smathering of new twists and "end" it up with a horrible DBZ-esque(sorry great Huddleston, my liege, I swear I'll never write that again) boss fight, which has, among other idiocies, two super beings yelling and powering themselves up. Which isn't really the point of Claymore. Or interesting. The manga, on the other hand, is made of win and awesome. Pieta is a turning point, not the end. Well, it is an ending of sorts, but also a completely unexpected turn that has nothing to do with the main character getting a sudden power boost. Or finding a new ability. Or everyone being betrayed by a friend. Or any of the usual copouts. Just read it, instead of a suffering through the Tour d'Offal that is the anime ending.

Prepare for disappointment after episodes 17-19. Then start reading the manga. It's awesome.

Devil May Cry 4
I would think so. Other than Dante and Nero having white hair and all of the characters wearing wacky outfits (e.g. Lady and Trish), it doesn't really look like anime. The story is standard anime-fare, but I think that has more to do with Japan than anime itself. The characters are pretty entertaining, with the exception of Kyrie in the role of the Japanese-style personality-less young woman. For Kaftan.

Yeah, Trinity Soul is a good anime so far(6 episodes), I really like the siblings as characters and the action isn't...bad. The Personas are a tad bit difficult to discern from bakground at times.

Seriously? I thought I heard echoes of HoMM, especially with some recurring themes, but I didn't think was onto anything there.

Sins of a Solar Empire
This is on top my want list. Id the AI can actually do the things that they flaunt and if the imperium three feature is as functional as it sounds, this might very well top several fave 4x games of mine. What I'm most interested about, however, is how they will accost the problem of scale: Will the AI be able to withstand the amount of info and still seem like an intelligent opponent? Can the fun in the game survive or is every scenario going to be relatively similar yet massive undertaking, leading to droning automation from the player? Will variety survive? And most importantly, is three factions enough to fill the void?

Games you are looking forward to
I'm really anxious for a demo, I want to see how well it can run. Right now, for lack of budget, my rig is slowly dropping off the edge of technical prowess, or rather, it's utter crap.
