In case those who are wondering, I have been extremely busy lately. Sorry if I haven't been on very often, have been running a hectic schedule the past few weeks, I'll hope to be on more often.
Regards, and enjoy your gaming!

PS Hong Kong Store
Little did I know how really cool the Hong Kong PS Store was until I created an account-- and I'll be rather blunt-- I feel a bit left out for us American consumers, since there seems to be a lot more content in the Hong Kong, and Japanese PS Store, c'mon Sony show the love! I think I'll wait until Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection comes out to the US PS Store. I did however download some pretty cool videos like the GTHD Nissan, and Ferrari and also Ridge Racer 7 demo.
Gears of War & Xbox 360
Well I caved in and purchased an Xbox 360, and to go along with that-- Gears of War. And I'll get straight to the point: Gears of War is simply one of the most awesome action-shooter games to come out. It's simply amazing, and the rich graphics, and it's down and gritty gameplay is just phenomenal. Ripping apart a foe with the chainsaw has never felt so right. I also made a trip and picked up a few Xbox 360 games-- Dead or Alive 4, Project Gotham Racing 3, Dead Rising, and Viva Pinata. I will say-- I am quite surprised on how an interesting game Viva Pinata is, as I've been playing it non-stop the last few days.
My Game Collection
After nearly a month of snooping around, and searching the GameSpot database I am proud to say I've finally completed my game collection, and to me thats a big achievement-- and owning 555 games kinda scares me-- all that money blown, I could have bought my parents and girlfriend some pretty nice gifts.
Next-generation game consoles
Although the next-generation has just begun, I am very curious and for some reason it's been dwelling in my inner brain-- how will the next-generation consoles shape out to be? I am a bit enthused but also at the same time-- reluctant to even move forward. While this generation has just begun, it has perhaps seem the most advancement in technology, with all this high-def glory, motion-sensing controllers, blu-ray technology, and the graphics are just mind-boggling. I wonder, if traditional gaming as a whole is over, and to be quite honest, I am not truly ready for that just yet. In fact, while I plan on getting a Wii as soon as I see one, I will no doubt enjoy it-- in fact spending time playing the games and using the Wiimote was ultimately the deciding factor on getting it so early, since I tend to purchase Nintendo systems a year or sometimes two after it's initial launch.
Battletoads...
...is seriously one of my favorite games of all time, in fact I hope Nintendo will make it available on the Virtual Console soon. It's also one of the hardest games I've ever had a chance to play-- in fact I still vividly remember my time spent in the afternoon groaning how immensely difficult the game was, and going through a few controllers, before my Mom caught me throwing them on purpose due to my frustration.
GAME RECOMMENDATION OF THE WEEK
Silent Hill, PlayStation
Anyone who considers themselves a survival-horror fan-- will undoubtedly agree that Silent Hill is one of the scariest games of all time, and while it never changed anything previously done by Resident Evil, Silent Hill is a magnificent game that should be praised for what it does best: scare the hell out of you.

Wii Time
Okay, well I haven’t been able to actually purchase a Wii yet, I have been spending a lot of time, this week going to my friend Dave’s to play his Wii. I must say, upon my observation the Wiimote is truly impressive in it’s own right– because I realized that it’s a fantastic controller for several reasons, one that it’s so easy to pick up and play. Playing Wii Sport’s is so easy to do– anyone can do it. But also the complex and learning curve could add some depth to the gameplay for those who want a steeper learning curve, and a fine example of that is Midway’s upcoming Mortal Kombat: Armageddon for the Wii. Using it in different ways to pull of combo’s will truly be a challenge, but will offer a learning curve for those who are experienced gamers. Prince of Persia: Rival Sword’s is also another game that could offer more depth to the Wiimote.
Resistance: Fall of Man Review
My first review ever on GameSpot. I hope you guys check it out, and tell me what you think. Not a lot of people comment my blog, but it would be greatly appreciated. I wanted to make it longer– but review’s shouldn’t be all too long, as I found a lot of things to write about the game(although it is fairly long, no where near as the GameSpot reviews), I wanted to make sure I’d still retain the readers attention. Many to come, but check it out!
NexGenWars
I never bought into all these hardware sales sites, like NexGenWars, and Vgcharts. Looking at it, its an outrageous that the PlayStation 3 has sold only 1.2 million units, are you kidding me NexGenWars, according to official numbers the PS3 sold 1.2 million couple of weeks ago! As I said, don’t pay so much attention to these sites– wait until NPD, or the official companies themselves release sales figures, because I am sorry but its fact– these sites are highly inaccurate.
Europe: PlayStation 3 set to launch March 23rd, 2007
Well in case you’ve been living under a rock the past week, Sony has officially announced that the PlayStation 3 will finally be available March 23rd in Europe, and Australia. The PS3 will launch with over 30 games, with over a million units available day one. I am very interested on how much of an impact Europe will make for the PS3 sales, because it could be a big boost for Sony– and probably start turning things around, for the media-hated PlayStation 3.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning & Saw III
Well I finally rented both movies, this week, and ended up being surprised(Texas Chainsaw movie). Saw III was garbage if you asked me, in fact it was the movie that put me to sleep, in the end-- it failed to capture my attention. Overall very disappointed, because some of my friends thought it was very good, but it didn't justify my $2.95 I wasted. As for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning-- it disappoint me, although it started rather slowly for my taste, the ending and the gory murder fest Leatherface went on, and using his trademark Chainsaw for the very first time, was a warm welcome home.
G4 TV is utter garbage
TechTV was such a badass network, until G4 took it over, now G4 is trying to compete with SpikeTV-- well excuse me while I **** G4-- even though it's been a awhile since you decided to add lame shows like Star Trek(sorry not a fan), Cops(I like the show seeing a trailer-trash wasted with a beer cans all over the place, and ash tray full of cigarette butts a but I'll watch it on Court TV), and other shows. I thought G4 was a network for gamers-- or was it your plan all along to merge with TechTV(and destroy a very good channel), so you can make more money by adding non-related shows about gaming? I'll give you props though for getting the Jamie Kennedy Show, because I find it very amusing.
GAME RECCOMENDATION OF THE WEEK
Wii Sports
WIi Sports is a fantastic game, that virtually anyone can play-- and shouldn't be missed by anyone who enjoys a simple and basic game.

PL4YB3YOND must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could PL4YB3YOND possibly have for not rating a single film?
