GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

Hey Guys, I haven't been on GS for a while, and I guess I should probably tell you what I'm up to. It's been a long term at school, my schoolwork is taking up a lot of my free time, the rest of it being taken up by socialising and games, so I guess I haven't really had time to come on GS. My A levels are going well, especially English and Politics, and I've even started looking at what university I want to study at in 2010, Manchester leaps right off the page for me. I love the city of Manchester, and degrees from there are held in high regard. It'll be a lot of work getting there, but I'm confident I can manage it.

Games wise, I've finished Fallout 3, finished Mirror's Edge, and got started with Little Big Planet and Home. Fallout 3 is a very good, but short game. The concept of postapocalyptic Washington DC is great, but it feels a little too barren for the type of game it tries to be. Nontheless, it's a great purchase, and a great game. Mirror's Edge looks beautiful, and gameplay is fantastic. That said, it's horrifcally short, and I'd have been annoyed had I paid any more than £25 for it. I'm a little late to the Little Big Planet party, but it's definitely worth the wait for me. I don't think it should be hailed as godlike, as it often is, but it's an enjoyable platformer with heaps of charm that I'm sure I'll put hours into. Now Home... I'm not impressed. That's really only for one reason. 59p to download a virtual jacket... you're kidding, right?

Anyhow, I hope to be on more in the next couple of weeks that I have off for Christmas. See you around hopefully

Ash.

Good to hear you're still alive Ash

that's my problem with Home too! And I agree that LBP is a tad over rated by some people but it's a very good game that i've literally spent hours playing, days even! I still havent got around to playing the other two, but I will hopefully be able to get them over christmas

Nice to see your back dude ! Though at leasts your doing more important things than spending time GSing.....I haven't been on here much either. Though I finally got that PS3 of mine so all is good. Fallout 3 I heard is great, and LBP is good as well. At least your having some fun man. By the way good job on your grades!
