Yeah, I just don't have the time, or the energy in me to write reviews, at least not nowadays. In fact, I'm really forcing myself to write this right now. I'll just use blogs to give quick reviews now. Scarface is a good, underrated game that I'd give a 9. The graphics, missions, voice acting, areas, drug dealing, and vehicles are all good. On the other hand, the replay value isn't very good, and the map layout is strange. Vice City Stories is a great game that I'd give a 10 to. It's just as good as, if not better, than LCS. The new empire building mode is great. There's also a lot of really good new missions that are some of the best since the original Vice City. However, the first few missions are rather disappointing. There's also a lot of new great vehicles, characters, and side missions. All of this however is somewhat overshadowed by the disappointing glitches. Civil War: A Nation Divided is a decent game that'd I'd give a 6.3. The levels are nice looking a fun, but it's a short game with just about no replay value. Just Cause is a disappointing, yet still fun game that I'd give a 8.5 to. The playing area is HUGE. I cannot overestimate just how big the area is. However, a lot of the areas are similar to others. A large collection of vehicles, missions, and side missions give the game some good strongpoints that help it though. Rent first if you're really skeptical, if you're looking forward to it though, go buy it. Gangs of London is the sleeper game here. Got bad reviews, but in all honesty, this is the best PSP game I've played yet. Better than the GTAs for the PSP. I wasn't even a fan of the Getaway, though I loved this game. Lots of replay value, and a great pick up and play game. Get's a 10 all the way, a very great game. Gun: Showdown for the PSP is a decent game. I found the console versions to be a serious letdown with no replay value. The PSP version I liked better though. While it's taken out all the peds and has controls that take a while to get used to, it mantains about everything else from the console games which makes for a good game for a handheld. It's still short though. However, Showdown comes with multiplayer and quick play modes which give the game more replay value. I'd give it an 8.
That's it for now. I might do some more later.

Well, it's been almost a whole year since I've written a review. I think I'm going to get back into writing reviews for games. I think I'll start off with a review of GTA: VCS, Hitman: Blood Money, or Driver: Parallel Lines. That's assuming I have enough free time to do so, which I might not have. Expect to see a review on one of the three listed games by next week.

Got a Dreamcast today. Well, technically I got it Friday, but I had to return it because the controller port board was broken, typical of a Dreamcast. Anyways, I took it back today and got one that worked along with Blue Stinger. I got the Dreamcast with a controller and a VMU for $40 ($26 of it was paid for by four crappy Gameboy games I turned in that I bought from a kid for $2) along with a copy of Blue Stinger for a mere $3. So far, I'm not impressed by the Dreamcast. Sure, I've only played a mediocre game for it yet, but still, it's overrated. I mean, the games are good, but the system itself is just so unstable. Like I said, mine I had to return, and the only two friends that I know that have Dreamcasts have broken Dreamcasts. I bought a Dreamcast thinking that it might be my new favorite console, but now that I've spent some time with it, the N64 is still my favorite console.
Some people just don't have opinions. Like CapitalistPride.
