It's been awhile. My last blog update was 6 months ago. A lot has happened, indeed so much has changed. Gaming, however, appears to have progressed along as usual. I've given away or sold most of my games. In fact, my Xbox360 overheated and fried itself. I did get a new Elite though... and that's about where I am at. I have an Xbox360 Elite with 5 360 games (Forza II, Gears of War, Gears of War 2, NASCAR 09 and Tales of Vesperia) and 1 xbox game (Genma Onimusha) - that's it. I recently picked up Tales of Vesperia and I have been quite impressed. There's not a whole lot to look forward to but there are couple of really interesting games coming around the corner soon, namely Forza III and Final Fantasy XIII. Take a look at the FFXIII trailer below. I stopped playing FF games back at FFX, but I figure why not give this new one a chance, seems like there's a good bit of effort going into it.

On the Forza III side, I hope they make some improvements beyond updating the roster of cars and tracks. It would be nice to see some weather variables such as rain, sun, and cloud cover. It would also be nice to see some temperature variations so that hotter temperatures create slicker surfaces, etc. We'll see!

Happy 4th of July!
