Samurai X
Could I download the anime Samurai X from the Internet?
Iyang Swanto
For the anime Samurai X it is possible to download it from the Net using a share ware program. Since Samurai X become licensed in the states, people are encouraged to buy the original DVD. But there are lots of animes that are not licensed in the states, like Naruto. Those kinds of anime can easily be found in many websites with there own subtitles.
PSX
I was wondering if you knew when the new PSX would be coming out. Also if I should buy the PSX or PS2 or the X-Box?
Mustafa Syed
The new PSX is already released in Japan by the way. And it is not likely that the US will get their hands on the new PSX. If you like to play Jap games you can buy the PSX for SR3,000 in KSA, this includes a hard disk and DVD writer. I wouldn’t recommend buying the PSX unless you are a collector and can install a mod chip that allows you to play American games on it. So between the PS2 and the X-box I would recommend...you...to...buy...a…hmm…this is a tough one….
Well it depends on what type of games you like to play. If you like RPGs or Adventurer games I would lean toward the PS2, coz of all the exclusivity rights. If you like to play FPSs and Action games then go with the X-box.

PS2 Game Review
Onimusha 3 Demon Siege
Publisher: Capcom
Developer: Capcom
Genre: Action Adventure
Once this game is booted up on your PS2, prepare to enjoy one of the best intro cut scenes of all time. The new Onimusha CG graphics are so amazing that most of the PS2 fans who play it will be saying “Ninja Who”. The CG starts out with amazing details, we get to watch very cool fights ninja style. As you start to play the game you will start playing in two different locations and time. Our hero from the first game is transported into modern Paris, and continues his fight with evil. While newcomer French actor Jack is teleported to ancient Japan, and is forced to work with Samonoske to fight the Gemna. The game play is actually quite fun and easy to get into. The puzzles are an easy challenge and the bosses put you on the edge, where you will have to come up with the right strategy and timing to beat them.
An irritating part of the game might be the camera angles. At certain points of the game I was stuck for days and just accidentally opened a door that didn’t appear to be there, and I wasn’t stuck anymore. When playing the game I would say you need nerves of steel to bare the unbearable voice acting. I just have one question for Capcom, Why are the people in both France and Japan talking in English — as if they were in a low budget horror flick?
Score: 8.0
