I am making a full-out return to Gamespot after my disappearance (which turned out to be a monthly thing). But things have changed, and I am hoping to comeback and blog and comment on yours. Even if I haven't left comments in your blogs, I have been reading them. Daily. Just a little "writers block" is all.

I bought NHL 09 a couple weeks ago, and I must say its one of the best sports games I've played. Its so good I'll even say its one of the best overall games released this year. It has everything a hockey lover wants. Be a Pro has a lot of depth, and I love seeing my player on the screen, score a goal, and then have the coach congratulate me after. I've been playing some online (I have yet to play EASHL) and it runs much smoother then the previous NHL games online. If anyone wants to play some "old school rivalry" (*cough NeoJedi cough*) I'll gladly accept the challenge. Oh, if anyone wants me to join a hockey team I'll do that as well (Keep in mind if I may not show up some days...Grade 12 is a ton of work). I must clap my hands for EA's huge turnaround. I mean, they've been releasing some quality games the past little bit, so I think it's safe to say we should all stop hating them. Ubisoft on the other hand...no they deserve all the hate they can get until they stop releasing those damned Imagine or Petz games.

Speaking of hockey, the NHL pre-season has begun. I've been trying to catch as much coverage as I can and it seems this year's season will be amazing. With the hockey season ending, the baseball season is coming to a close. I actually got tickets to see the Toronto Blue Jays vs Boston Red Sox last Sunday. Even if they lost, I had fun and got to see Wells, Rios, and Scutaro play...with the addition of Ortiz from the Sox.

Thats a wrap, see you guys later!

Who thinks the new Gamespot profile look is...worse then the original?

I'm tired, arm is twitching...and basically I really don't feel like making a big blog. I'll just shoot down some stuff I thought about the show:



Microsoft: I liked the stuff they showed like Gears 2, Fallout 3, Resident Evil 5, Fable 2, Final Fantasy XIII (That was a shocker), and Portal: Still Alive. I'm still skeptical about the new interface and avatar system, but we'll see when it hits this fall. Lips also looks pretty damn fun, as does Rock Band 2. That "Your In the Movies" game was horrible, just another gimmick. Overall, a pretty good show. Oh, moreover I downloaded Too Human today, and became quickly addicted to it. Theres still some things I would like changed, but overall it was fun.



Nintendo: I don't even want to talk about this trash. Nintendo disappointed me for the second year in a row. The only reason I watched the entire thing was because I thought they were going to announce a new F-Zero game or something more core. Thankfully, Nintendo saved themselves a tiny bit today by announcing a new Pikmin game. But thats still not enough.

Sony:Hmm...I thought Sony came out on top this year, with lots of stuff for the PS3 (Resistance 2,Valkyria Chronicles, LittleBigPlanet, inFAMOUS, MAG, SOCOM Confrontation, and...GOD OF WAR III!!!!11 (*sorry*) and on the PSP (Resistance:Retribution, Buzz!, Patapon 2, NBA 09). In addition to the price cut, and updated Playstation Store...I need a PS3



I'll blog tomorrow about the "best of the rest" (I'll admit, I'm very anxious to see the game "Pure" tomorrow). I'll just let you guys know, that I'm leaving for Italy on Friday for two weeks. So, tomorrow will be my last blog for two weeks.
