GAME OF THE MONTH

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo 64)

This month has been very nostalgic for me, and I haven't played a newer title in a while now (excluding Dissidia and Vesperia). I thought I'd play some Ocarina of Time to cure my gaming depression, and it worked. Despite the fact that I have played through Ocarina thousands of times, I still love it, and it still partly cures depression. I've always wondered why.

SONG OF THE MONTH

I couldn't come up with just one, so....

From the 1970's: The Battle of Evermore - Led Zeppelin (Led Zeppelin IV, 1971)

From the 1980's: Kickstart My Heart - Mötley Crüe (Dr. Feelgood, 1989)

From the 1990's: Heart-Shaped Box - Nirvana (In Utero, 1993)

Yet more nostalgia.

DEMO OF THE MONTH

God of War III. I wouldn't mind giving this series a go. I'll most likely purchase the GoW Collection coming out soon.

ACHIEVEMENT OF THE MONTH

bk

Music Maestro, 25G - Banjo-Kazooie

There are 900 musical notes out there in the world of Banjo-Kazooie. Real gamers collect them all...

COLLECTIBLE OF THE MONTH

Cloud Strife figurine. I got it out of a lucky dip. There are 5 figurines in that series that you can get, and you don't know which one is in the box.

There was Warrior of Light, Cloud, Squall, Zidane and Tidus. I got Cloud.

VIRTUAL ITEM OF THE MONTH

MasterSword

Master Sword - Various Zelda games.

HERO OF THE MONTH

Link. I'm sure you don't need a picture of him.

VILLAIN OF THE MONTH

Ganondorf. I'm sure you don't need a picture of this guy either.

PURCHASE OF THE MONTH

Tales of Destiny: Official Guidebook for $5.50.

VIRTUAL BABE OF THE MONTH

Reith - Magna Carta: Tears of Blood

Due to recent events that have been pretty awesome, here's a brief blog about what has happened in the past weekend.

I went to a party on Saturday, stayed the night at a friend's. That was pretty sweet. Stayed up for about 36 hours straight in the weekend overall, which by that time I decided to crash on Sunday evening, due to school next morning. I swear I had no Mountain Dew at all in the weekend. NONE.

I've also been listening to some pretty sweet music lately, particularly Led Zeppelin. Definitely one of the best bands in music history.

Most recently, I won a bid for a Japanese strategy guide for Tales of Destiny. I won the bid at $5.50!! NZ currency. The artwork in the seller's sample pages tempted me. So, hopefully I shall have some beauty to look at in a few days time, artwork related. Of course it may somewhat help me with ToD when I finally play it (need to get past region-lockout, as I have a Japanese copy of the game too).

And to conclude my randomness, I read a bit on Brütal Legend. A heavy-metal based adventure game? That....rocks! I am downloading the demo as we speak.

Thanks for reading, and have a nice day.

Quantum of Solace
Casino Royale was awesome, you have to agree with that. There were some good scenes, and it was simply brilliant. From the opening scene to the end, it was wonderful.
The opening scene for Quantum of Solace wasn't the best. The car chase...

Wall-E
WALL-E is definitely epic!! It's got comedy, and some very good animation, and it's very interesting. It is definitely my favourite Pixar film.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
Back in 2005, we saw The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe retold with amazing CGI effects, and some very well done scenery. This year, the same people released the sequel to the C.S. Lewis masterpiece.

Prince Caspian is a very well...

Iron Man
Iron Man was a decent movie, but I found it had many flaws and it could've been improved. The overall story was pretty good, and some of the scenes. But then again, there was too much dialogue and not enough action. I was expecting this film to...
