Since many of you people suggested and because I was having a lot of free time, I decided to give this game a second chance. My first impressions of this game weren't that good and I even dropped some conclusions about this game and my gaming taste and blah blah blah. But still, I insisted on playing it again. I was being a lot more patient this time and I wasn't questioning myself why I was wasting my time playing that and all that. After some days of playing it this way, I realized that I was slowly getting immersed into it. There was some force driving me towards playing more and more. Something inside me really wanted to keep making subquests, leveling up, exploring this virtual world, and developing my character. I think now discovered the true essence of this game.

So yeah, it was really worth it It's definitely game that has to be played with a different approach than most games out there, but gives a truly unique experience. For the ones that haven't played this game, I recommend you to take my advice It's an awesome game.

In the other hand, I'm also going a bit retro and playing Banjo Kazooie It's a really fun game, but I feel that Banjo Tooie beats it in many ways... still not sure though. After I finish this, I plan on moving on to Final Fantasy VII, that, believe me or not, I have NEVER played it before I know, I feel very bad saying this.

That's how it's going to me for now. I'll be letting you know about my gaming life. Take care for now!

If you keep up with my blogs, you should already know that I finished Bioshock and decided to move on to Oblivion. Many of you highly recommended me this game, and I was really expecting it to be better. Don't get me wrong, I gave it a try, and was constant in my gaming, but the game just didn't suit me. The game has an amazing presentation, with stunning graphics and a very fitting soundtrack, and a HUGE virtual world to explore. However, it didn't appeal for me in some points. The battle scheme was meh... I felt like I was just mashing buttons. I also felt that the game has a steep learning curve. Being new in the RPG genre, found it way to hard to adapt. And finally, the game is just endless. It's good for a game to be complex and have replay value, but I just felt I was getting nowhere, after many several of play. It's not that motivating to explore all that world, as it is with MMO like Wow and such, simply because you are not interacting with real people. I don't know, that's just the way I felt, don't blame me. I don't think Oblivion is my kind of game. Even though, I'm still not sure between giving it a second chance or let it go into oblivion

In other news, i decided to go retro and play one of the best RPGs ever: Chrono Trigger (I know, I said I was an RPG n00b,but I say this from what I have heard ). I played it before some time ago, but couldn't finish it, since I lost my data (how unfortunate). But some days ago, I decided to start it all over again, and man, it was really worth it. It's easily one of the best games I have ever played. I think every true gamer should play this game. Heck, it's even better than Bioshock Seriously, you should get it, specially since it has a DS port.

Well, that's all for now. I'll try to be more constant in my blogs from now on.

"We all make choices in life, but in the end our choices make us"

So yeah, I finally finished Bioshock some days ago and man, it was such a great experience. I'm still amazed at the deep storyline in the game, as well as the artistic design in the environments. It got me thinking, about how a videogame could have incorporated such a philosophic theme, with so many references involved. I can't quite remember the last time I played a game like that. But what I do remember is that some one stated that one of the reasons for games to have an M rating is because it offers a theme that only mature people will enjoy. Not because of the blood and gore, but because of the maturity required. I could finally prove this statement to be true.

Let's just put it like this: Its a masterpiece, that every gamer should at least play once in his life, period. The only thing I regret is not having played it before.

Well, having finished this game, I'll be moving on to Oblivion, which will probably take me a lot longer to finish I'll be sharing my experience with you as well. Cya!

Some people just don't have opinions. Like Thiago26792.
Thiago26792 must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could Thiago26792 possibly have for not rating a single film?
