I have'nt really been doing anything worthy of it's own blog for the past few weeks now, so I've waited to bunch up a bunch of smaller stuff into a blog.
-Got into the Call of Duty 4 beta via Gamespot. It's a great beta, and shaping up to be an even better game. It's a bit too much like CoD 2 for me, but it definitely impressed me in how well it's balanced. In that regard, they are pretty much set to go, but it doesn't feel perfect just yet. There seems to be too much spawn killing, and the perks just don't seem to even out perfectly. I'd be happy to discuss it in great detail if anyone really cares, but I'll just leave it at that for now.
-Been playing some Gears of War for the new map achievements. Most people on that game right now are terrible. I'm not that good myself, but it's ridiculous how bad the people are (skill wise.) Obviously new or very casual 360 owners. The game is still practically an embarrassment to Epic online, but by my estimates, I only need to play 156 more rounds of it.
All before the 25th, because I will certainly not be playing it then.
-I am the only person who can call themselves a "gamer" and still hasn't beaten Bioshock. I might try today. Partly because I don't want it to end though. Already past the big spoilar anyway.
-Since my last post, I was looking for a copy of Advanced Wars for the DS. I called my 6 local game retailers, as well as Amazon.com and they didn't have a copy of the game. I just got fed up and got in the car to buy a damn DS game. I ended up buying 2 just because I wanted a new DS game. (very foolish and uncharacteristic of me) I now own Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow and Super Mario 64 DS. Payed full price for them too. Feel bad about it. Super Mario 64 DS is rehash, and I feel like a fool for hoping it wouldn't be. Besides, I never really liked the original that much anyway. Castlevania is Castlevania. Too bad I've never been too much of a Castlevania guy.
I will say this though, technically speaking, Castlevania is very good, showcasing great visuals and giving a good 2D experience. I might finish it just for the Sake of finishing it. SM64 however... I'm even considering trading it. (Which I don't like to do and don't reccomend.)
-Also hitting up Pokemon on DS. Got some high level mofos right now, working my way toward the 8th and final badge. What can I say, it's Pokemon, nothing more, nothing less.
-Awaiting Halo 3.
-Might do an Audio Blog soon. Don't really have all that much to talk about though.
-Blogosphere has been kind of quiet lately. I still read your entries though. I'm out.

Are you kidding me? For me that was easily the best game in the series, ok it may not have made as bigger an impact as the first, and it may not have been as polished as the third but the sheer atmosphere that game created was immense.
If Call of Duty 4 turns out to be half as good as the second one then i know i've spent my money wisely.
BioShock is freakin' great dude, and it's totally worth playing through two times to get both endings. I had a ton more fun playing the game over on hard and I really enjoyed it. But it's now time to go and buy a new game to replace BioShock.....when will the new releases ever end? But I'm not complaining.
Keep the new games coming.....
