Hi eveyone. It's been a while since my last blog so I'll try to fill in the blanks over what I've up to for the past eight months. In the past week I decided it was time to get a PS3; I'd been saying I would as soon as the Dualshock controller was available so the new 80GB model was quite tempting. I've been enjoying the PS3 so far, but it's not replaced the 360 as my main games console.
So that's my current setup above. My other consoles also make regular appearances but it depends upon what I'm playing at the time. The majority of my gaming recently has been with a handful of games; GTA IV, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and Assassin's Creed (all played on my 360).
My PS3 collection is pretty small just now as I only own Motorstorm and Ratchet and Clank Future. There's other PS3 games I'd like (Metal Gear Solid 4, Gran Turismo Prologue and Resistance to name a few) but I'm currently more psyched about the upcoming 360 releases; Fable 2, Fallout 3, Gears 2 and Banjo Kazooie. There's so many good games coming out in the next couple of months that I'm gonna have to be picky about what I buy because I really can't afford them all (nor would I have time to play them).
Just now I'm finishing off GTA. I really would like to get 100% and the achievement that comes with it, the only thing putting me off is the street races which I'm not finding to be much fun. The other racers are either miles behind you (boring) or they catch you on the very last corner, flip your vehicle and leave you cursing that you ever started the race. Grrr.... But as you can see from the photo, revenge is delt out swiftly with the RPG, lol.
I've really enjoyed GTA IV although there's some stuff which I hope Rockstar can fix for the next game. Climbing ladders is broken, most of the time Niko shuffles around the ladder for five minutes before actually climbing it. The game feels quite different from previous GTA's but most of the stuff that was fun in previous games is still there. Just don't give up on the rather slow first island and you should enjoy this game. 
The other game that took up a lot of my time was Oblivion. Despite owning Oblivion since I first got my 360, I only really got into it a few months ago. I think the overall scale of the game put me off a bit; I wasn't sure what to do next and didn't want to make decisions that would screw up elements of the game for me.
Of course, I shouldn't have worried, there's not much you can do to really screw up the game unless you happen across one of the glitches and then save afterwards. By the time I'd unlocked all the achievements I'd been playing Oblivion for just under 170 hours, which is pretty extreme even by my standards. The funny thing is I still haven't completely finished it; there's still loads of quests that I could do. Maybe one day I'll finish them all... maybe.
So that's about all from me for now. I'll try to get my next blog completed in under eight months, lol.
Later,
alxbly.
