First off, it's been a while, but hey, I'm still alive. On the 22nd it's my birthday, i'd be 15, i'm qutie excited, as i'll be getting into highschool when school starts. The best part of it (To me at least) is I will be learning guitar, as I've always wanted to learn it. I absolutley love music, and the thought of me being able to play is thrilling.

On a video game note, for summer, i'm kinda stuck. For the month of august, and probably september, I can only get one, of two games, that I really, really am anticipating. First, let me say the games, and the pros and cons.

Soul Calibur IV is the first choice. I've been a fan since Soul Calibur 2, which was an amazing, and excellent fighting game. Soul Calibur 3 was very, very addicting as well. So needless to say, to hear that they all return, with more characters, is a god-send to me. The Create-a-soul feature is so intriguing to me, i'm sure i'd use it so much. I'm pumped for the game, fighting games are in my top 5 favorite games.

Of course, you'd think "It's obvious, get SC4" it's not so obvious. The next choice is Tales of Vesperia. Now I only recently got into the Tales of series, but I can safetly say they are amoung the best RPG's i've ever played, only FF, and KOTOR can match them, really. Tales of Symphonia is probably my new favorite Gamecube game, and from what i've played of Tales of the Abyss, it's an amazing series. The combat is fast, and furious, and the storylines are gripping, well told, and sometimes even confusing (I don't care what you RPG/Tales of haters say. ToS has an awesome story) Tales of Vesperia, looks like all that and more. The demo has gotten me pumped. RPG games are my absolute favorite type of gaming. But compelled with Soul Calibur 4, which is a series I have known longer, it's a hard choice for me. ToV will be a long journey, but one that is beatable, and I may just leave it, after playing through 2-3 times. Soul Calibur, seems to be somthing I can enjoy for the long run. It's a difficult decision, on what to get first. Any input is welcome.
