  Old-Timer

  Been a long time gone...and won't really come back. For a few months I've been buzzing around my schoolwork, my job and my girlfriend ans friends. I must say I've lost pretty much of my interest in video games. I was very surprised when I went to the local Wal-Mart (for the first time in, like, a whole year, I swear) and saw a brand new Advance Wars game, and new Final Fantasy on DS etc. (I'm sorry Gamespot, the news reader of mine is gone for good). I didn't buy any at that time as I was looking for a different product: the Wii.

  I bought the Wii for my little sisters. Of course, I do play a little, but really not that much time. I currently own Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, which was the first game I got and tried, and Trauma Center: New Blood and Okami. Trauma Center is fairly disappointing, as the same exciting gameplay and atmosphere come along again with the same old chit-chat between lame characters. I liked the first Trauma Center on DS for the gameplay, and I enjoy this one for the same reasons, nothing more.

  Okami, however, is a great surprise. I knew the game from PS2, but never had the chance to enjoy it before. If I'm currently mostly playing Metroid, Okami is next on my list of games-to-beat. Outstanding visual design, great music, nice storyline; Okami is, up to now, one of my favorite games ever.

  Metroid is by far the best game I had the chance to try on the Wii. Controls, graphics, sound, even the story, seems to be flawless to me. I don't even know how to describe it. You know I haven't wrote a review for a while...

  Well that's it for now. I'm not planning to get as active as I used to be here on Gamespot and in the Unions. Just going to keep in touch with Wii-related news and upcomming games.

  Have fun out there and get out a little. You know it feels so good. I won't make you a speech here however...

  Gamespotters, I salute you!

  Will it last?

  I wonder wether or not all this hype about BioShock's gonna last for long? I know and I completely agree that BioShock is an outstanding, immersive and very entertaining game. But not so long ago, it wasn't really known and people weren't really paying attention to it. Then suddenly, for an unknown reason, everybody seemed to discover BioShock all at the same time, became very excitated and started talking about it. Just as many of you Gamespotters, I'm playing and enjoying BioShock. Most people claim that BioShock will become a classic. They claim that people will remember this game as one of the best games ever created, as they did and do with Half-Life. Will BioShock be considered as a major event in gaming history, as some people believe? That, I don't really know, and I doubt. Does this game really have what it needs to reach the holy "Panthon of Video Games"?

  Don't you think we're all a little over-reacting?

  I do.

  Will this big hype last for long?

  I doubt.

  Opportunity awaits!

  I finished my BioShock (PC) review. It's my longest review to date and, I believe, my best so far. I spent three days writing this. It could have taken less time, but I was busy playing the game. It's so immersive and innovative...it's incredible...

  Anyway. See the review here.

  By the way, I'm having some problems with my Internet. My images don,t appear and things like that. And it's real slow today. Hope it'll fix soon.
