  Happy New Year!!!

  I'm a little late in writing this, but anyway, I hope you all had a good time celebrating the new year. I celebrated by hanging out with friends playing some Halo 2, playing some ping pong, eating pizza, watching a movie, it was a pretty good time.

  God bless you all, I pray this year goes well for all of you.

  Happy New Year!

  Gifts I recieved (and gifts I gave) for Christmas

  Well, here's the blog I said I'd make, where I talk about the gifts I received for Christmas this year.Also, I will talk about gifts I gave.First off I'll say that Christmas was awesome, I had a great time with my family and friends. Though, it kind of went by fast.

  I recieved some pretty awesome gifts, lets start with the first one, which I got from my parents:

  Little Big Planet (PSP)

  I had been eager to get this game since before it came out, and I am glad my parents bought it for me. In addition, I got a card with it for 3 free sets of costumes which are based on the games Uncharted, Killzone, and Motorstorm. The thing is though, my mom did not pre-order or reserve the game, while she was in the game store she said she just asked if they had any of the cards left, and they did! What luck, right? Well I got the costumes, and they are pretty awesome, my favorites are the Helghast Soldier's costume from Killzone, and Nathan Drake's costume from uncharted.

  Playing the game is great, but what makes the game so amazing, are it'slevel creating tools. You have so much you can use to create things, it really is limitless, the amount of things you can make. Though, altogether you do have a limit of 60 (at least I think it was 60) levels you may create, 20 of which may be posted online. That is a really good amount though, we are talking full, detailed levels here, not something incredibly small like the levels you can make in a game like Scribblenauts.

  Downloading levels from others is fun too, you can rate them, "heart" them, and even"heart" the authors of the levels. My only complaints about the game so far, are 1: The game has crashed twice on me during level creation, I doubt it will keep on happening, but if it does, it will put a damper on the fun of creating levels. 2: Already I have seen PSN's infamous hackers have made they're way onto the scoreboards, with impossible scores no one can ever really achieve. (what fun is that, hacking your way up a scoreboard...). Playstation still needs to listen to some of it's community members, and do more to stop the hacking of PSP games. 3: My last complaint for now, is that there is no way to comment on other people's levels. It would have been nice to have that feature, so that you could get/give feedback that may help in the creation (or re-creation) of levels in the future.

  All that aside, the game is really alltogether amazing, I truly reccomend it if you have a PSP, a love for platforming games, and if you are patient enough to wade through all the tutorials as you learn how to create levels and get parts for creating levels in the game's story mode.

  -----------------------------------------------

  Now for the next gift, which I also relieved from my parents:

  The Secret Window (UMD Video)

  This is a Johnny Depp movie I have been wanting to see for a while, and now that my parents got it for me on UMD (universal media disc, the discs you use for PSP) I can finally see it! Sadly though, I know, and have known for a while, the entire movie basically, as once when I mentioned it, someone said "hey isn't that the movie where..." and they ruined the entire plot for me.

  Still though, I am a fan of Johnny Depp, and this movie looks good, I will be watching it soon, I'll post back here when I have seen it to let you know what I thought of it.

  -----------------------------------------------

  My brother got me:

  Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

  I have the first game in this series, I played it until the last boss then stopped. I just took a break for a bit, and never went back to it. Also I tried playing the second game, I borrowed it from my cousin, but I didn't really get into it. I still plan to go back and finish the first one, as I was really enjoying it, I just took too long of a break and lost interest, but first I am playing this one all the way through. I had heard that this was the best in the series, and from what I have played thus far, I may agree with that. Though I am still early on in the game, I am enjoying every bit of it!

  -----------------------------------------------

  My cousin bought me:

  Dissidia: Final Fantasy

  After playing the demo for this game over and over, on all the difficulties, I knew I would enjoy this game, I actually wanted to purchase it when it came out, but ended up not having the money for it, because I used the money I had for other things. Anyway, now that I have it, I am really enjoying it, far more than I expected! One thing that blew me away, is actually a feature this game has, which I have never seen in a PSP game before it: A battle replay saver, that actually lets you convert the files for viewing in the video section of the PSP! Sure some games have had the replay saving system, like Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero?, but none before this, that I have played at least, have let you actually convert the replays for viewing outside of the game. Also, you can edit the replay to change the camera of the battle to the way you want it to be, for instance you can have the camera follow the battle as a whole, rather than just from one person's perspective.

  If I canpost these converted video files on Gamespot, or if I can re-convert them to a format acceptable by Gamespot, you can expect to see a lot of them on here in the near future.

  Dissidia also lets you download some of the games files onto your memory card for faster loading. You have 3 choices of how much memory to download, and I chose the max, which was over 500 MB, and I think it really has made a difference!

  I wish the game could play online, but sadly it is only ad-hoc (local players). But fortunately, the cousin of mine that bought this game for me, owns it as well, so we can duel each other at least.

  -----------------------------------------------

  Our friends got me and my brother:

  The Office DVD Board Game

  Me and my brother are big fans of The Office, and this game is awesome, and perfect for us.

  So far we only played it once, on Christmas night, and we played a shorter way, not adhering to all of the rules because it was getting late already when we were playing. We plan to play again eventually though. It was great fun, the time we did spend playing it. We really do know a lot about The Office, lol.

  I reccomend this DVD board game to all fans of The Office.

  -----------------------------------------------

  I got some money from my aunt, some of which I used today to see the movie Avatar in 3D. I had never seen a movie in 3D before. Sure I had seen other various things in 3D, like a short film in a theme park I was at, but it wasn't a full film, and I don't think it was as good as the kind of 3D film I saw today. Avatar was a phenomenal film, one I will most definitely buy when it is released. I absolutely recommend seeing it, and in 3D if you can. The way the film looks normally is already amazing, but in 3D, well, now that I have seen how great the 3D technology is in theatres, I woulden't want see this movie any other way in theatres (too bad it probably won't be available to buy in 3D when it's released on DVD in the future).

  I am putting the rest of the money I got towards getting the World Of Warcraft Battlechest. Once I get it, and I level up a good deal with my real life friends who guided me through my WoW trial, I will tell you my character/s name/s so that you can add me to your friends list if you play the game and are on the same server.

  -----------------------------------------------

  I got some candy, deodorant, socks, and other random things as well. So all in all, I got a lot of stuff! But, of course, I also gave. I gave my brother the new CD from the band Flyleaf, titled "Momento Mori", I got my Mom a movie called "Faith Like Potatoes", and I got my Dad the movie "Terminator Salvation".

  -----------------------------------------------

  JodyR, a staff member from here on Gamespot, had a blog in which people could get a chance to receive various gaming related items for free, she listed the items and people who were first to comment saying they liked an item, received it. I managed to get a strategy guide for the game Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. I don't have the game yet, but It's one of the first I am getting in the coming year, when I get my new PC. So I'll study up on the guide and be ready for the game when I get it.

  I also got a couple GI Joe comics and magnets, which I gave to some friends (thank you for everything JodyR and all of you Gamespot staff!).

  -----------------------------------------------

  That's it for now, I will be back to normal activity as soon as this year is over. Before I end this blog, I want throw in a question: How was your Christmas? If you don't want to say it all in a comment, but you have written a blog about it,which I have not commented on, let me know and I will visit your blog and comment there ASAP!

  Take care, have a great week, and God bless!
