Well not much going on recently however i have a bit of spare cash so have decided that now is the time to get those last few GBA games i missed out on. The two Legend of Zelda GBA games, Mario Party Advance and a few others. I must say that since the day i bought the GBA it has been nothing more then amazingly great fun and will for me be the one of the greatest gaming devices ever. Im glad that the DS has the GBA slot as it allows people who do not have the GBA to experience some amazing games. Not long now till Christmas and hopefully my Wii and i am really looking forward to playing it.
However, the new Wii will mean saying goodbye to the GameCube which will be sad. People could debate who won the last gen for days but to be honest i feel that we all won. By this i mean the Nintendo fans got what they wanted, the Microsoft fans got what they wanted and the Sony fans to. Being this age games played a suprising part in my life and helped me make friends and as much as i hated the PS2 i must admit it kept us all happy on those cold nights in my friends loft. I was the only one of my friends that bought the GameCube and i really do think they missed out on some amazing games and i do hope that they get Wii's and are able to pick up these modern classics. The Xbox also gave me some good times, i still remember getting it that christmas and enjoying the criminally underrated Oddworld: Munchs Oddysee. All in all last gen was my gen the one i will remember the way people look back at the old Nintendo vs Sega 16 bit gen with such fondness.
By the way i have just rated my entire collection, yup i was bored.
Okay first of all id like to clear up a few thing about yesterdays blog. First of all i in no way at all condone the hate the reviewer recieved for the controversial LoZ:TP score in fact i respect him for not being afraid to make a clearly controversial decisions. I also do not believe every critisism he made was irrelevant i simply believe that he was overly harsh on the sound rating and possibly the evolution of the series comments. Like i said yesterday i simply believe that another reviewer, who was less outspoken about his opinion on the wii may have been more appropriate. I agree 100% with those who say to ignore the scores and just enjoy it. Apologies to anyone who was p!ssed at having to read the same blog a million times. Oh and for the record i agreed 100% with the Red Steel review.
Anyways onto something else, its not long now till Wii and Xbox 360 time been waiting a looong time for both of these. Im getting a wii at launch and an xbox 360 early January and i must say i am super hyped. I have also just made the most expensive purchase of my life. A massive 52 inch HDTV (http://audiovisual.kelkoo.co.uk/b/a/sbs/100311823/17275902.html) its being shipped home as we speak to my room back home. Some may call me spoilt but i paid for this beast by myself by working every spare moment i had. Im also about to order a great sorround sound system to go with it. Overall i think although pricey that this is really worth it especially when i get the games running on it.
Thanks for reading and further apologies to anyone who was p!ssed of with yesterdays blog.
