GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

Sunday was a bit of a money waster for me. Starting off with trading in Street Fighter 4 in mint condition not 1 scratch or mark on the case of disc, i still only got a measly £12 the average game nowadays is about £30-£60 so it was really quite irratating. So i decided to trade it in against a Wii game, Wii music, which was an ok idea the games good fun but quite shallow, not very imersive,has very little to do on it. It was £15 preowned so it only cost me £3 of my own money. Still i kind of wish i'd kept my money and been more sensible as i then whent on to waste another £17 buying a ******* Nunchuck!! I mean it's a piece of shoddy plastic with some rubber and some minor electronics inside for £17! Then i bought an OXM magazine another £6 which is slightly overpriced i'd rather not have the disc inside which must cost them a lot to produce so that was a bit dodgy overall i spent about £40 to return home with very little to be proud of... bad day. Oh and i spent a £1 pumping a flat tyre in my bike i got going to buy the Nunchuck... me and money don't get along.

It's not all bad news! I completed God Of War chains of Olympus which was really, really good fun. Quite short but a good game to own for the PSP. The ending was good, the story was quite strong for a hack n' slash so that was a nice suprise. The boss fights were quite dissapointing as there were like 3 proper ones in the whole game, which is annoying considering GOW's reputation for having good bosses. Having said that the final boss was nigh on impossible! Overall it gave me a good excuse to spend a few hours on my PSP which is my least played console it is slowly catching up... and i expect to get like 20 hours in when LBP for the PSP comes out.

I just felt like ranting about my money trouble and how i can't save money to save my life hehe. Some advice on how to dicipline myself and with money would be appreciated if any of you can save

Anyway i hope to go back to Oddworld now complete that then complete Lost Planet which i don't really like but... might aswell. Thanks for listening hope you found it remotely interesting!

Oh dear, doesn't sound like you've had much luck with money! Just try to set out a certain amount of money to save each month/week and don't touch it - once you've spent your other money just keep telling yourself that you've got nothing left! That usually works for me!

Also - check my last blog, you've been tagged

Wii Music should be on wiiware for 500 points (5$) It's fun, but there's not much point to it.
