Once in a lifetime, a rare event occurs that only some of us get the chance to witness. Yes, I actually finished a game. And not just one game, but two games within two days.

Firstly, while everyone else was busy playing Modern Warfare 2, I finished the first Spyro game. Nothing too important, even if it was the first time in about 10 years. However, this was the first time I've ever actually got 100% completion in the game (well, technically it was 120%). I just couldn't handle the flying levels back in the day. Or Tree Tops. I've already started on the second game which isn't quite as enjoyable as I remember, though it's still decent. I'll get through all three games eventually. Yes, there were only three Spyro games ever made.

Moving on, I also finished Persona 4 after a long, yet rewarding 70+ hours. Seriously, this could very well be the best game I've played all year. Great characters, fun battles, (too) catchy soundtrack, an interesting story....well, I admit that the ending was a bit cheesy. It didn't really help that my sister and I were making fun of every single ending cutscene as they unfolded.

"No, Nanako! Step away from those train tracks!"

*SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH*

"Nana-chaaaaan!!!"

On an unrelated topic, I'll be away for about a week starting on Saturday. So, yeah.

Spring, Autumn, Fall, whatever you want to call it - you can't deny that over the last 3 months (and still going), there's been a lot of big games coming out. Unfortunately, I'll never get to chance to play them all. I can, however, look at the box covers, which is what I think I'll do now.

A red box is always distinctive, except that the last game I got that came in a red box was the first Buzz game for the PS2. And the last thing I want is a Mario game reminding me of an ugly polygonal Jason Donovan with an unhinged jaw. The yellow Yoshi appears to be looking up at Toad as if to taunt him for having to fly everywhere. Or maybe just because the helicopter hat looks stupid. Yeah, probably that one.

What happened, Charizard? You used to be one of the coolest Pokemon, but now you're hanging around with this bunch? Seriously, that Meganium is wearing a bow tie. Go take that stupid bag off and get some real friends.

This is probably the worst zoo ever. I don't see any divisions between the animals. Just look at the expression on that lion's face - you know it's about to take a massive bite out of that panda. Also, the giraffe looks way too smug about all of this.

"No, Swannie, stop pecking at my armour." "Seriously, Swannie, you see how big this sword is? Now stop bothering me and let me stare off into my partner's cleavage."

And Natal isn't even out yet.... KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!

It's like Mickey knows he looks out of place.

Luigi is enjoying this WAY too much. Also, seeing as though he can fly and all, shouldn't Tails be cheating or something?

Characters from all over the Marvel universe unite for one common purpose - to shout at each other.

Way too bright.... Must look at something easier on the eyes....

ARGHHH! That's even worse! I hope you all just banged your head against your keyboard many times. I swear to God, Courtney - If you do anything like this to Lexie....

I've been very busy lately, not much time for gaming so there's not much to talk about.

Well, I saw someone playing a DSi on a bus today. Not too remarkable, except I've never seen anyone actually play a DSi before, let alone on public transport. Asides from the odd kid with the PSP or someone playing TapTap Revenge on their iPod Touch, I just never seem to see that many people playing portable systems on public transport. When I flipped open my DS to play Advance Wars on a long bus ride to Melbourne I recieved nothing but dirty looks. Oh, and 10 dollars from a guy who wanted me to switch seats with his girlfriend. Sweet!

I'm still playing a lot of Dual Strike. It's what I have to turn to when Devil Survivor starts to annoy me (which it does a lot). I've also returned to playing the original Spyro the Dragon, because I never actually completed it. 11 years since I got the game, I can now complete the flying stages easily so I should be able to get 100% completion. Once I beat Tree Tops, at least.

And that's about it. Exams start and finish next week so I should be able to write/play more when they're over.
