July is coming to an end and both me and M managed to squeeze in some loots!

Guuzen’s Loot

This loot post is all about video games. I have recently purchased Catherine, and Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3 a while back. Catherine was a game that I had been keeping an eye on from time to time whereas DW:G3 was something that I just happen to see on store shelves and then bought it because, well, I like Gundam.

Catherine

So Catherine, the creepy, sexy and unique game developed by Atlus. At first I was thinking of waiting for a price drop before getting it, but when I read MrOptic’s retweet of someone’s copy and saw the “Free Sound Disc And Art ‘Book” sticker, I rushed out to get it!

For picky guys like me, I was happy to see a fully colored manual. As an added bonus, it is also fully stylized! I always enjoyed Atlus’s art style and menu designs.

The art book and sound disc is something like a first press release kind of thing for the normal edition, though if you really want it it will be included in every “Love Is Over” deluxe edition.

the art book contains messages from the producer & game director, Katsura Hashino; the sound composer, Shoji Meguro; and the character designer, Shigenori Soejima about the thoughts on their part during developement. The book also includes biography of the main characters, working process behind the art book’s cover art and of course, pictures.

The sound disc is located at the back of the art book and it consists of 11 tracks. This is not the official soundtrack of Catherine. The “full fledged” OST with 34 tracks is available in Japan and you can purchase it from CDJapan.

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3

I think I bought this last month or early this month. This is my first ever hack n’ slash game can you believe it? I was never interested in this genre and probably never will, except this time. I would never had bought anything from the Dynasty Warriors franchise but my interest in Gundam overruled that.

Similar to Catherine, fully colored manual as well!

M’s Loot

Bleach: Soul Ignition

So this came to me as a surprise. I thought the game won’t be out till next month but then I received a message from the local game store yesterday telling me that the game was ready for collection. So I immediately went out and got my copy.

I’m not as crazy over colored manual as Guuzen, but I will welcome them anytime.
