As i have finished my GCSEs (national tests for 16 year olds) I was lucky enough to get an extended summer holiday. Glorious, you'd think, 4 more weeks in the sun, at the beach, outside. Exactly what you wish you are doing in the last few weeks of the school term. But alas, true to form, english summer rain has set in. With some places further west suffering severe floods. Needless to say it hasn't been the best weather to be outside.
But, cooped up inside, i have decided to complete the piles of games i have bought and not had the time to play. I have still yet to go "next gen" but with any luck soon i'll have to as all the games i want for my current systems will be exhausted. However, a little more sun would be good, as my current videogame pursuit is neither that sociable, or very energetic. The most excersise i get some days is swivelling on my desk chair 90 degrees to the right to go on my computer for msn, internet etc. and then swivel back to the left and carry on playing games.
There has been some sunnier days, which i have spent outside, and a few days where we have had to dash for shelter as near biblical rain showers come from nowhere; but currently i'm thankful for my trusty PS2/DS/Gamecube.
Bring on the sun.
Games i have completed in the first 3 weeks of the summer:
-Okami (from the start - a good 50 hours)
-Shadow of the Collosus (finished normal time attack and hard mode as well)
-Viewtiful Joe 2
-Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (not exactly a long game, but, whatever.)
-Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War
