  Sooner or Later?

  Ok, so yeah, maybe if I updated more often I wouldn't have to make such long and boring blog posts, but what are you gonna do when you have soo many games to play? Anyway, well to be honest, i'm not even sure what I have beaten since my last post. Mario Galaxy for one. Awesome game. If you don't know this by now then yeah, you probably wont, or don't need to be playing this game. I had alot of fun with it and I am al ready to go and get the remaining stars that I have missed. I also ended up buying Rock Band somewhat on a whimsy. I saw two bundles at my local Walmart, but only for the 360. After going there I saw Only one copy of it for the PS3 in our whole town. I decided for my better judgement and for budget reasons to pas it up as it would have cost me 180+ dollars. Well after getting home and seeing the inflated prices on ebay I decided to go ahead and pick this one up, in all honesty to make a buck or two. However once i picked it up and always kind of in the back of my head I knew I was goign to keep it for myself. And well, I did. So I have been teaching myself to play the drums (I hate the crappy guitar). I have for the most part got all of the songs down on Medium setting and am now slowly moving into Hard and Expert mode. There is a pretty big gap in difficulty between Medium and Hard. Anyway I am having alot of fun with it so far. I managed to pick up a copy of Unchated early, but due to familly visits and work I did not get around to actually playing it until the day after its official release, so yeah...I didn't feel quite as special after that. Anyway I was not really all that excited t play this game until I actually got into it, and man, I loved it. It's great looking and has wonderful characters and environments. The only grip I had wih this game is that it's shot detection is kind of shotty. And really how many machine gun clips shoul I have to unload into one person to have him die? Because if it's more than one it's too damn many. Either way though these were jsut kind of smal gripes to the overall experience. I would definately recommend PS3 owners pick this one up. Also on the PS3 front I have been playing Cal of Duty 4. Great game, again you should know by now. I recently started playing the game online and I love it. I do not care for playing games online much, but I must say excluding COD3 these games have been very and my favorite games to play online. Cod4 is no eception. Its leveling system is fun and keeps you comming back for more. Definately a thumbs up on the game. And lastly Final Fantasy 12 Revenant Wings for the DS. I like this game and have only put about 5 hours in it so far, but I have to say its toned down RTS gameplay is really hard to get used to. Still I am having fun with it so far. Anyway I suppose thats it for now. Till the next one, well for those of you that read...

  Finishing up lots of games.

  HL2 Episodes One and Two. Done. Very short games, Episode One took me exactly 3 and a half hours, and Episode Two took about 5. None the less very fun games. Final Fantasy Tactics War of the Lions. Done. After playing this game an insane amount over the past month or two I have put it to rest and finished it. (You know how good FFT is, so yeah no need to go there). Ratchet is done. Lovely game. The Simpsons game while very short and bland is absolutely hillarious and worth the 60 dollars for the story and game reffernces alone. Sooo now I have nothing to play, Guitar Hero3 until Sunday night when Mario Sunshine Launches. Whoe is me until then.

  Folklore is a bit underrated...and Seeing Orange with some Tactics

  So yes, as I said Folklore is one of the most underrated games I have played in some time. Now to be honest I went into this a desperate PS3 owner just wanting something to play on my system. I did not expet jsut too much from this game, but I got far more than i bargained for. The battle system is very addictive and the narrative and feel of the game is absolutely awesome. I know alot of people wont give this game a chance, but I really wish that they would because of what a great game this really is. On a side note with PS3 news, Everyday Shooter rocks. The end. I will be picking up Ratchet and Clank Tools, as a matter of fact, right after this blog posts. Im fairly dissappointed in the review that went up, but I myself am excited for this game. All the other reviews seem great however, so 2 out of 3 isn't bad right? Actually this will be my first forray into the Ratchet seriers and im confident that it wont dissappoint. Soo...Orange Box. The best video game deal ever. But wow is it alot of game for me. As a "hardcore" gamer I play alot fo games. Like most all of them that warrant the time to be exact. Soo with this many games and hours of play time in one box is killing me in one sense, but on the oher hand it is extreemely awesome. So I have played Halflife 2 before but never this well, so I am in the proccess of running back through that game as of now. Before I started that though, I ran through Portal. Which, everything you hear about it, is correct, It's awesome. One thing that bugged me however is after running through the game itself and a few advanced maps, I never got the achievement points for it. Whatever the deal with that is I dunno, but I do not have the time to go back and try again to get 40points or so. Maybe at a later time though. Lastly I am working On Final Fantasy Tactics War of the Lions for PSP. Just as awesome and ddicting as ever. The job system, with my personality is obsession. I have around 20 hours in this game with maybe 2 hours of that, actually gong through the actuall story. So yeah by the time I am ready to move on after I get all the jobs I like mastered I will be able to run back through the FAAAR better translated story, with ease. Sooo with that..I off to get Ratchet.
