This is always funny for me, because I'm never able to keep this. But this time around I've been thinking, and my life lately has been about separating from many people so the story goes on. I'm going to be leaving high school soon, in June, and I will lose most of my friends forever. I think that instead of leaving both worlds at once, I should leave this one first. Many of you are good friends, many of you hate me, many of you just don't care about me, and that's just fine. I just want you all to know that this has nothing to do with any of you. This is me, my life, and how I want to be in the furture.

Me and AsakuraHao2004 have been having interesting conversations the last 1 or 2 days. Mainly about how life would be without GameSpot...how certain things would be easier, how there would be less pressure when it comes to games, and how there would be so much more time for other things. Basically we both together came to the conclusion that it is time to leave. Now I've almost left GS before, and I've always came back...but this one is no joke, you may believe me, you may not. Curse at me or yell or whatever if you want to, cuz all that's in front of you is a screen, and just think of me as another user.

Alright so maybe some of you would like to keep in contact, my email is finalfan789@hotmail.com

For those of you that know me on MSN, STEAM, etc., you will no longer be able to reach me through there. I'm not logging into MSN under finalfan789 anymore and my STEAM has been changed around as well.

So yea, I can imagine many of you being confused right now, well don't be. I'm gone, don't worry. In a week or two, you'll forget me and continue posting and having a good time as usual. In fact you may see me here again one day...well...not in this account if I do return. Yup, I think if i returned to GS I would like things to be simple. Not so many blogs, not so many unions, not so much pressure to know so much about games and having to own the best of the best. No, if I returned to GameSpot, I would like to keep things as simple as possible. I think that being finalfan789 finally got to me...

It's time to move on. That's the simplest reason that I can come up with.

Im deleting my videos, except for the honorable mentions videos. Those are here to stay forever. I'm leaving all unions. And last but not least I say goodbye for the last time so...

Yup another review for you all to either read or ignore, recommend or not recommend...

The Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass

On a side note I feel lazy on GS...well not lazy really, but with all these new games I don't see much reason to post and not play games. So sorry if I haven't gotten to your blog specifically, I'll get around to it when I'm not so busy with games...well...maybe I barely even post in my own union or anything, either way all us GS users know playing games themselves are more important

Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII:

Gameplay- A bit repetitive so far, really easy, but very unique, I actually like the slot reel things, because it adds a fun randomness effect to everything, and also since it's a fast paced action RPG, that style of gameplay fits very well.

Graphics- Basically what you expect from Final Fantasy, great cutscenes and flashy gameplay, beautiful.

Sound- Pure nostalgia with the remade FFVII tunes.

Value- Im surprised by the fact that the game has a hard mode, once I finish easy mode I think I'll go back and try that, idk yet how many side missions there are though.

Story- I'm not too into it so I can't say much but I'm glad that im finally getting to know certain characters better…best not say exactly who…

Pre-score: 9.3

Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow:

Gameplay- Very interesting gameplay, because ive never played a game with this style before in my life.

Graphics- A bit old looking, then again the game itself is old, but a lot of characters do stick out in their appearance, like flying eyeballs and such.

Sound- "Vampirish" and very fitting.

Value- I have no idea how much replay value this game has, I'm hoping for something though.

Story- All I know so far is something about Vampires…oh and Dracula.

Pre-score: 9.0

New Super Mario Brothers:

Gameplay- Basically the same as old Super Mario Brothers gameplay with a few twists here and there.

Graphics- Nothing too impressive but it looks nice with the 3D look.

Sound- Mario music, what else can I say?

Value- Idk how long the game is but Ive heard this game isn't very good in the replay value department.

Story- ha! Save princess Peach >_>

Pre-score: 7.9

So basically I'm loving Crisis Core because of all the FFVII related stuff, I love Dawn of Sorrow because it's so fresh and new to me, and I really like Mario Brothers since I've always loved the series for my whole life, but the game doesn't really do anything new, which I don't mind since I will enjoy it anyway.

Oh yea the New York Yankees' baseball season started yesterday which means that half my days after school will be gaming while the other half of the day is baseball. So yea basically baseball is replacing GS for me starting now…not completely…but by a recognizable amount.

Anyway get ready for a The Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass review sometime tomorrow

Edit: I think everyone's getting the wrong impression when i say i give NSMB a prescore of 7.9. That score does not mean i am not enjoying the game, as a matter of fact i am enjoying It VERY MUCH. Plus its just a pre-score people, nothing final. Just wanted to clear that up, now back to baseball.
