Card Captor Sakura

Nights in Tomoeda have just become a little more interesting recently, ever since the appearance of some weird events. Most people have passed them off as mere weather phenomena or maybe hooliganism, but if one would observe closely, they would see that these events are caused by supernatural spirits. Enter Kinomoto Sakura, a.k.a. Card Captor Sakura, a 10 year old fourth grade girl who attends Tomoeda Elementary School, likes PE, and hates math. You see, it was Sakura who unleashed these spirits, known as “Clow Cards,” into the world in the first place, and now it is up to her to recapture them with the help of the newly awakened Guardian Beast of the Seal, Cerberus (a.k.a. Kero-chan).

Following the Protoss Executor Tassadar’s final actions on Aiur, the Overmind-less Zerg hordes now run rampant across the planet’s surface, with the beleaguered Protoss and Terran warriors unable to check their wanton spread. Furthermore, word of the new alien threat to the Koprulu Sector has reached the Terran homeworld of Earth, and the United Earth Directorate has dispatched an expeditionary fleet under the command of Admiral Gerard DuGalle and Vice Admiral Alexei Stukov to investigate the recent events. But the UED is not the only new power in the sector, as Kerrigan, now free of the Overmind’s control, is consolidating her forces on the planet Char with ambitions unknown.

The Koprulu Sector had been relatively quiet throughout the millennia, but the recent arrival of a group of spacefarers on antiquated vessels has changed everything. These “Terrans” have raced from planet to planet, system to system, expanding their territory and resources despite constant infighting amongst themselves. Unbeknownst to the primitive Terrans, this sudden activity has attracted the attention of two other races to the sector: the feral Zerg, and the enigmatic Protoss. When the Zerg attempt to assimilate the fledgling Terran civilization through infestation, the Protoss cleanse the fringe Terran planet of Chau Sara of all life in an attempt to stop them. The Terrans, hit hard by the appearance of two alien races, prepare a counterattack. So begins the greatest war in the history of the Koprulu Sector.

Hearts of Iron II

The year is 1936. Still reeling from the chaos of the Great War and the Great Depression, the world now bears witness to the rise of three nations. In Germany, Adolf Hitler strives to restore Germany to its former economic and military glory. In Italy, the charismatic Benito Mussolini wishes to head a revived modern Roman Empire. In Japan, the military government desires nothing more than to challenge the economic and military might of the Western World as the head of the “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.” Will the Allies crumble under this wave of aggression, or will they strike first? Will Europe be ruled by the Führer and Duce, or by Franco, Mannerheim or Metaxas? Will Stalin’s Red Army unite the workers of the world? Who will the United States side with, or will someone else decide for her? The answers to these questions, along with the course of history, are up to you.

The world is dominated by one entity: Shinra, a massive corporation that rules from the metropolis Midgar. For some, Shinra is a liberator from darkness and antiquity. For others, Shinra is a brutal dictatorship with a rumoured hidden agenda that will destroy the world.

In Cloud’s case, he has joined the anti-Shinra group AVALANCHE as a mercenary. While his first mission goes off without a hitch, his second mission goes terribly wrong, and Cloud is separated from the rest of his squad. While trying to return to headquarters, Cloud meets a flower girl in a church… and sets off a sequence of events that will shake the very foundation of the world they live on.

Chrono Trigger

Like everyone else in the village of Truce, Crono, your average red-haired kid, is very excited when the day of the festival arrives. Perhaps even more so because his best friend Lucca has promised to show him her new invention. While waiting for Lucca’s invention to be set up, Crono bumps into a girl his age who says her name is Marle. Claiming to be not from the area, Marle asks Crono if she can tag along with him for the day and Crono is not one to refuse pretty blondes. Together they meet up with Lucca, who has invented a teleportation device of some sort. After Crono is used as a guinea pig, Marle volunteers to be teleported next. However, the machine has a violent reaction with her pendant and Marle is thrown into a mysterious portal. Crono chases after her and finds himself in a world eerily similar to his own yet very different at the same time.
