GAME OF THE MONTH

Dissidia: Final Fantasy

ACHIEVEMENT OF THE MONTH

A tie, between.

ontherun

On the Run, 30G - Infinite Undiscovery

Deliver Aya to the village without getting hurt.

(Really frustrating, especially when Capell screams "Cut it out" every time he gets hit by a fireball.)

and...

burnthewitch

Burn the Witch, 10G - Left 4 Dead

Light a Witch with a Molotov.

(It was my first L4D achievement, and it just feels awesome!)

TROPHY OF THE MONTH

R2

R.I.P. ****** ********, Gold - Resistance 2

Defeat ********, Complete the Single Player Campaign.

(The reasoning for the covered words is due to the fact that there may be spoilers involved in them. It is after all a secret achievement.)

COLLECTIBLE OF THE MONTH

This.

FFVII

I got it free for pre-ordering Dissidia.

VIDEO OF THE MONTH

The new Final Fantasy XIII trailer.

SONG OF THE MONTH

Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses ( Appetite for Destruction, 1987 )

(BEST. LOVE SONG. EVER!)

VIRTUAL BABE OF THE MONTH

Any female from Infinite Undiscovery.

SURPRISE OF THE MONTH

Star Ocean: The Last Hope International coming to PS3, which got announced as soon as I completed it on Xbox 360. It has a US release too.

DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE MONTH

Resistance 2. At first, I liked it. As I progressed, it got worse. It just didn't click to me. It's a good game, but it just felt like a typical FPS to me. To be honest, I preferred the first one.

DEMO OF THE MONTH

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves multiplayer beta. I'm looking forward to playing the full game.

Woah! Information overload. I have finally got Dissidia too, it's been sat in my drawer at work for ages whilst I've been away. It's brilliant! So much depth to it, and masses of 'accomplishments' to work towards. Many, many hours will be spent on this, I assure you

You had a pretty busy gaming month I can tell. And really nice choice for your collectible of the month. I have always like that song by guns and roses use to play it all the time on GH 2. Congrats on getting all your trophies and achievements this past month. Hope you have a great October.

great monthly blog lots of new games and of course RPG's hey this weekend im getting the U2 multiplayer beta we can play it together if u want
Posted Oct 1, 2009 6:09 pm PT
You play so many cool/fun games!! Again, I need to still get RE5... but I'm downloading RE1 atm!

For a second... I thought that Doritos game was a Spyro game for a second there...

Another game I REALLY want is MarioKart Wii. I blew off Double-Dash, but I really like Wii because it's a million times better. Plus, I have the guidebook I got with a Nintendo Power issue that can't go to waste.

Still that wallpaper is awesome
Posted Oct 2, 2009 6:22 pm PT
Nice achievements there.
Posted Oct 2, 2009 9:00 pm PT
Whoayou're racking up alot of trophy and points, great review on Star Ocean 4 well done, Lost Odyssey got a 7.5 from GS man what's up with that It one of the top games I want to play on Xbox360, anyway great monthly blog it seem like September was an awesome month for you.
Posted Oct 3, 2009 3:18 am PT
What character are you using the most? For me, it's Zidane or Squall now.
Posted Oct 4, 2009 3:02 pm PT
@Extra_Life: I've spent a fair bit of time on it already, and lots more is to come.

@infamous13579: Yup.

@Mathurin47: What are the slipcovers like? I don't recall any bonuses like that around here.

@MissMorphine: Oh yeah! It's fun. Ah, thank you.

@Colmillios: Oh indeed. This month may well be more-or-less the same. Sweet Child O' Mine's on Guitar Hero? I did not know that. Thanks, you too.

@AnelZukic: Thank you!

@NuKkU: Yeah, we should play some UC2 sometime soon.

@Yuna7780: The first Resident Evil is better than the fifth in my opinion, so you made a good decision. I know today's Spyro games are terrible, but they aren't anywhere as bad as Dash of Destruction....well almost. Mario Kart Wii is pretty cool, but no other MK game can beat MK64.

@jaykho213: Thank you.

@soulless4now: Thanks.

@Serbine: Lost Odyssey looks like more than a 7.5, but I need to play it more to say whether that's true or not. Then again, I barely ever agree with GS RPG reviews.

@IpodHero176: I'm more of a Cloud/Cecil boy.
Posted Oct 4, 2009 9:19 pm PT
Yeah, GS really suck can you believe they gave FFIV: the After Years a 5.0 , Cool If I had the game Cecil, Zidane, Golbez, and Squall would be my main ones, anywho do they have Rydia from FFIV in it?
Posted Oct 5, 2009 10:05 pm PT
@Serbine: To be honest, I didn't like The After Years. I really enjoyed FFIV, but I just couldn't enjoy the sequel. Therefore, GameSpot's score doesn't bother me very much. Square-Enix have really let me down lately (excluding Dissidia). Unfortunately, the only playable Dissidia characters are the main character and villain from I-X, not the supporting allies. Dissidia 2 perhaps?
Posted Oct 6, 2009 12:49 am PT
Well that's a bummer to hear I guess you wouldn't mind but it pretty low for an rpg, did you play the whole After Years game cause I heard it split into episodic parts, I see well hopefully she'll make it in the sequel if they do one cause she would be awesome.
Posted Oct 6, 2009 4:36 pm PT
@Serbine: I just played Ceodore's chapter, and I couldn't play any more after that. I know it probably gets better, but I just can't take that risk.
Posted Oct 7, 2009 5:33 am PT
Looks like a good month for you. I want that scroll
Posted Oct 7, 2009 11:23 am PT
Sad to hear that but fair enough.
Posted Oct 7, 2009 9:03 pm PT
You really rate your games pretty fast
I agree about Video of the month, it was a great trailer that showed the potential of this great franchise. I love the song of the month very much, I easily give it a rating of 5/5
Next time post a picture for babe of the month
Posted Oct 10, 2009 1:44 pm PT
@zxv33: Yep, pretty much.

@Serbine: Yeah, Square Enix has been going a bit downhill these days, but hopefully FFXIII will stop that.

@alidallal: Yeah, I was kinda rushing this blog, so I couldn't really be bothered putting in examples of Infinite Undiscovery chicks. Maybe next time, I'll just have one to do.
