It's been a little over a week since I've done a blog, so I thought I'd just make a quick update.

For one I'm discontinuing my 'MMORPG Experiences' blog. Originally when I thought of it, I thought it would be really neat, and would give me an opportunity to reflect on the great experiences MMORPG's have brought me through my past. But after being sorely disappointed in my first 2 blogs, especially the one about Everquest, I've decided to throw in the towel on that little diddy. The problem is there is just too much to write about, and I can't fit all I want to type about into a blog. Not that I wouldn't find it interesting, but I know the few people that do read my blogs wouldn't really find any entertainment in it. Also the fact that the remaining MMORPG's, with the exception of World of Warcraft, I wouldn't have had much fun writing about, because I either didn't get that far into them, or it's been so long that I forgot a lot of stuff. So that's that. Neat idea, bad outcome.

Moving on though... So lately I've been regretting my purchase of the Nintendo Wii. I've turned it on once in the past 2 weeks. I don't know why I've been playing so little, I mean Super Mario Galaxy is a great freaking! game, but for some reason I always want to play a 360 game instead, I do need to get back into it though, because it is an amazingly fun game and doesn't deserve to be pushed off to the side like this.

As far as Super Smash Bros. Brawl goes... well I hate to say it, but it's just not for me. I really don't get that much enjoyment out of playing it. For one I suck at it, and I don't understand why, because I know 10 year-olds who have mastered this game. The second reason is, the Adventure Mode is downright repetitive and boring. I've played it a handful of times, and just find myself getting more bored as it goes on. And the last reason is, the game is fun when playing with friends, but when you don't have friends who want to play it, it doesn't matter. I honestly don't get why this game got a 9.5 here on Gamespot.

So maybe I need a new game right? Well everytime I go the Best Buy, or Gamestop and browse the Wii section, nothing captures my interest. I've thought about Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, but figure that I've beat the game on the GameCube half a dozen times already, and a little Wii-mote action probably wont compel me to beat the game all over again. I've thought about getting Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, but refuse to pay $50.00 for a rail shooter. Twilight Princess has caught my eye, but I find myself getting bored of every Zelda game I've played since Ocarina of Time. Even recently the Phantom Hourglass has found itself unbeaten after getting about half way through it. I've heard about No More Heroes, but when I watch the gameplay footage, it just seems like it would get repetitive after awhile. Hell I don't even know what is coming out for the Wii anymore, seems like all of their big launches are done. I don't know, I'm just in a big bind with the Wii right now. Waste of over $200? Possibly.

Yesterday I went to Best Buy to buy The Sopranos season 2, and decided that I needed a new game to play. After browsing the Wii section, and finding absolutely nothing interesting, I went to the 360 section. It took me like 30 minutes to decide what to get. First I had picked up Lost Odyssee, and almost walked to the register with it, but then I thought back to the last JRPG I played, that being Final Fantasy XII and how I only played the first few hours of that game before leaving it to rot. So I went back and put it on the shelf. Then I contimplated Ninja Gaiden II. But all of the problems that Kevin Van Ord mentioned on his video review started nagging at me, so I put that back down. Then I grabbed Condemned 2: Bloodshot. I never played the first one, and I don't like playing sequels to games I haven't played before. It's like seeing a seuquel to a movie without seeing the first. So I almost walked out of Best Buy with just my DVD, but something made me go back, and grab Condemned 2. I hope that I can enjoy it without having played the first. I actually wanted to buy the first one, but Best Buy didn't carry it, not even in the Platinum Hits section (which I hate buying for some reason) I haven't played it yet, but will give some impressions once I do.

Last, but not least. I've still been playing Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. I'm a level 27 Aquilion Ranger, and am still having fun. I even convinced my brother to play with me, so it should be even more fun to play with him once he catches up. What makes this game the most fun is the combat, it's unlike any other MMORPG which gives it a well needed change of pace.

Well that's all for now. I will probably wait till it's dark out to get the most out of Condemned 2. Until then I need to find something to keep me busy!

So long!
