  Car Boots are Legendary!

  Hey guys and girls, a quick update, as I'm soo happy of what I bought. Today I woke up at 8am to get ready to go to a car boot near where I live (it's on every Sunday) and seeing as theres ALWAYS some games there,I thought I'd try and get some classic games. I bought the ORIGINAL WipeOut for £2 and Metal Gear Solid 2 for £1.50, talk about a bargain hunt! Other games didn't really interest me, as I can get them in Game/Gamestation for cheaper (like some guy was selling Max Payne for £6.99, when in Gamestation it's in the 4 for £10 sale), and I've started to play them today. The only other WipeOut game I've got is Pulse for the PSP, but I've played nearly all of them. MGS2 well I've played the demo in Zone of The Enders and loved it, so I'll complete that beforeI go back to school. It cost me 40p to get in, so only £3.90 spent for 2 games that will last me a good while, THATS your money's worth.

  On a side note, I've got 5 reviews coming up his week, which I'll be writing tommorow, and I might also do Video Reviews on YouTube of them. I've also JUST completed Sacred 2 Fallen Angel on PS3, expect that review to be LONG, like a good 15-20 minute read. I spent a good 45 hours doing the main quest, and a little bit of everything else. I'm determined to get a high percent of trophies, 80%+, as for now I'm starting a new story as an Evil Inquisitor.

  So a little moral for you guys and girls, wherever you live, go to a carboot if you want legendary games instead of resorting to Ebay. I hope you guys and girls have a good week! The next blog will be up this Wednesday, with ALL the review updates.

  2 Year Anniversary on GS! Some Life Updates

  Hey guys and girls, how have you all been? I'm sorry I haven't been able to comment on your blogs, don't expect you to comment on mine so don't feel pressured. 6th form too much work, I barely have any free time now I know it'll be worth it though, only thing that keeps me there. It just feels like Year 11, a lot more coursework with no uniform. Nothing special about it. In my spare time I've only glanced at the forums for like 10 minutes or the GS news, but I decided to just rest today, do no coursework, but just rest and have some freetime.

  2 Year Anniversary on GS!

  Just realised I've been on here for 2 years , quite a long time, but it's been a very good 2 years, met all you good people, share similar interests, showing that GS is a really good community (unlike FaceBook where there have been reported pedo's on there)

  Some Life Updates

  Well besides the intro, I've had no luck in getting a part time job, they either don't need people, can't arrange times properly or simply have hours that I can't work (6-10pm at once place, on weekdays, meaning I can't do ANY work) so I've been stuck in all days just doing coursework, listening to music and odd occasion going on YouTube. Karma (yes I believe in it )isn't repaying me well Well I've had time to think about multiple things in the past weeks more critically, so now I've got a better idea of how to do certain tasks.

  As for games, well I completed Dead Space for like the 4th time, getting tired of it quite easily. I will get Platinum in it but not now, I can't be bothered to do Impossible mode. My overall score for it (FINAL FINAL) is a 8/10, and next week you'll find out exactly why. I've been playing Spider-Man Web of Shadows and it's very fun, great game but the combat is quite shallow, I've even looked at the full combo's and even they aren't much more. Still pretty good though. I also got the ORIGINAL TimeSplitters, and have got through about 5 levels.

  All that over about 6 weeks of being back at school, about 4 hours a week on games, not much really The only game I'll get now is Raging Blast and thats it. Theres supposed to be a MK fair coming later this month, which I'm not wasting my money or time on. It's always been full of crap.

  Thats really it for the moment I'll post WAY more next week, so hope to see you guys and girls then. Have a good week!

  Dead Shadows!

  Hey guys and girls, how has your weekend been? Mines been excellent for games and coursework, so this is a small update.

  Ok, right I went into HMV on Friday, and there was a sale on the PS3 games "2 for £30". I thought "wow, now where are some of the games I want on my wishlist..." and I found Spider-Man Web of Shadows AND Dead Space there, so I bought them I also got Crash Twinsanity for £5 so I'm a happy bunny.

  My thoughts on Dead Space? Well it is AMAZING! I've nearly completed it, onto Chapter 9, just after the shooting gallery mini game. I've got 38% trophies already, and some people were telling me it's hard to do, so far it hasn't been for me. I'd give it a 9/10 so far.

  As for Spider-Man Web of Shadows, well I've only put an hour into it, and it's pretty good, I'm glad I didn't pay £40 that GAME and GameStation are charging for it. So far I'd have to give it a 8/10 as I haven't gotten too far into the story.

  Now for Coursework, I've done the MAJORITY of Coursework, only have 3 more bits to do outta the 7 bits I had. So tommorow I'm going to get 2 of the bits done, then do Art til Friday and hopefully finish it before then. I've put about 8 hours of gaming in on the weekend, and I think next week I'll have 2 reviews up, Crash of the Titans (very little time I've had coz of work) and Dead Space.

  Besides that, theres nothing else, besides some clothes that cost me £100 They are stylish though so I'm not complaining Hope you all have a good week at college/school/home, and hope to see you all soon!
