I'll start off with talking about the game I've been waiting for ever since I saw a rumored video on youtube over 3 years ago. I'm talking about GHOSTBUSTERS!!! I bought the game the same week it came out (not something I do very often, as I am a cheapskate, lol). I enjoyed every single moment of the game. However, I will say that the online play is fun at first, but loses its punch after a few hours. The story itself is great and funny, but once you play through the game once, you might not really care to play it through again. I will most likely play through it again and I'll never get rid of the game due to the fact that I'm a huge Ghostbusters fan, but I will admit that I would only give the game a 7 outta 10. Dunno if it was worth 60 hard earned dollars, but I wouldn't becomplaining one bit if it would've been only 40.

Now lets talk about the other brand new game I bought (OMG, I bought two brand new games in one month. I might have to shake away this cheapskate title). I got Red Faction Guerilla and I have to say that even though a lot of the missions are just re-hashed from previous missions, the game is still an absolute BLAST to play. I've never had so much fun blowing stuff up and destroying entire buildings. Not to mention, you actually have to destroy the buildings the way you would have to in real life. You can't just throw a couple remote charges inside of it, hit the switch, and expect the building to crumble. In fact, setting off a couple remote charges inside the building might take out a few windows and the ceiling above, but unless it's a dinky little building, chances are that building barely has a scratch. Red Faction online is great too! If you're a COD fan (which you probably, who the hell isn't?), don't play this game online the way you would play COD. In fact, you pretty much don't have a choice, the online matches won't let you play like it's COD. Instead, this game has a nostalgic feel of the original Unreal Tournament online deathmatches, but with much, much sharper graphics. Then there is Wrecking Crew mode, which I'll leave the explanation of this mode up to the quote of Game Informer magazine (quote may not be word for word): "I haven't played a multiplayer play-and-pass mode (passing the controller) that was this much fun since Burnout's Crash mode." I would have to say that as much as I love this game, I have to give it somewhere between a 9 and a 9.5 outta 10. LOVE THIS GAME. (sorry this paragraph was so damn long, lol)

So I've been playing Tiger Woods 07 online quite a bit again lately. I just love golf. Too bad I'm not good enough at it in real life, otherwise I'd be playing other people for real money instead of playing digitally over the net. Last Friday night, it was 2:30 in the morning and I was playing some guy who had sent me an invite to play a match. However, I didn't realize he invited me to play 18 holes on stroke play (you Tiger online golfers already know how long this can take). I will say that I was somewhat tired when I started this match. I thought it was only going to be 9 holes on stroke play. Of course I figured out it was 18 holes after we started the 10th hole. Now the meat of this story: This guy I was playing was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO terrible, he took at least 5 strokes just to get on the green on just about every hole. The last hole I remember playing was the 13th. I fell asleep somewhere during the 14th hole I think because I was getting so bored waiting on him to get on the green. I've never fallen asleep during a match before, but lemme tell ya that it sucks. So of course I got a loss for it because I had too many shot-clock violations. I woke up about 4 hours later with the results screen the only thing showing on my screen. Oh well, just take my advice: Pay attention to exactly what game you're about to join, and then assess how long you think it's going to be, ESPECIALLY if you're getting tired.

Then there is Fallout 3. Great game, very similar to Oblivion, but I like Fallout even more because it's got guns, lol. I will admit though that I started to get a little sick of the game after 130 hours of gameplay, but that's because it was the only game I played during that whole 130 hours. I should've took a break from it for a while. For now it's just chillin' on the shelf, but I will play it more after a while.

I would type more, but my lady is ready for me to start helping cook dinner. Yeah, I know, I'm so whipped. LOL

Hello fellow bored people that have nothing better to read than my worthless little blog. LOL, just kidding.

So where the hell do I begin. Let's see....um my 360 still hasn't RROD'd, and to give you an idea of how much I play it: I bought it December of '07 and I already have over 20,000 gamerpoints. Although there was a point in time when Prey locked up on me twice within 15 minutes. The first time it did it, I was pissed because I had played nearly two hours without saving (which is really my own fault for disabling the auto-save feature). But yeah, Prey was a pretty good game. However the makers could've put a little more effort into explaining more about the alien race and maybe an option to discover this HUGE spaceship they have (called the "Sphere") more than the game allows you to. Also, I noticed that there weren't a whole lot of bad guys in each level until near the end of the game. Still a good story though and still lots of fun to play.

Civilization Revolution has got to be one of the most addictive games ever. I had to force myself to put it back on the shelf. The game is friggin' awesome, whether you like Civ games or not. I am one to admit that the PC versions were just a little too complex for me, but Civ Rev is like Civ-Lite, it's much easier to get into and understand. My only complaint is that in the scenario "Beta Centuri", I wish that you could still actually research technologies so that you can take out your oppenents with some AWESOME futuristic weapons. That would've been BAD @$$.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance is a great action/RPG, especially if you're a fan of more than just the X-Men (as in the X-Men Legends games, which I totally loved). Now I'll admit, I'm not a huge no-it-all when it comes to other Marvel Comics characters, such as Dr. Strange or Iron Man, but I still had a great time playing the game. I'm now trying to beat the game on "Hard", which is turnging out to be quite the challenge, considering I'm doing it by myself this time through. The 1st time through I played with my friend Craig and we were able to easily beat it on "Normal" difficulty. Some of the achievments require you to buy some of their DLC, which I think is kinda crappy, especially since I'm kind of an achievement whore.

Bioshock is complete too. Great game, very creepy at some times, very challenging at others. What I liked the most was taking on the Big Daddies. The end boss was a little too easy I think, but he was still imtimidating at first. Also, I loved how the story had such a HUGE twist to it. VERY AWESOME!

Def Jam Icons up next now. The story line was really cool. I also liked how you get the option to sign certain artists and then the ones you don't sign become your enemy. The whole "spin your own beats" thing wasn't as bad as gamespot made it sound, and being able to hit the bass notes to make things explode was freakin' tight. I really enjoyed this game. I think you could probably find it for less than 20 bucks now, definitely worth it. The graphichs are absolutely amazing too. My only beef is the lack of weapons. I know that "Fight For New York" was a totally different game with a totally different style, and that EA wanted to try something different this time around, but there's just something really sweet and tender about picking up a pool stick and chasing after your enemy with it. It's down right precious.

For about the last two years now, I've always had this thought in the back of my head that says, "If you could make your own game, what would be it's premise?" Then more thoughts follow: "where would the story lead? What era would it take place? Would it be in the future? Would it be something that changed the past? Would it be a dark game (like Devil May Cry)? Or would it be a light-hearted adventure? To this day, I still don't know those answers. So until I figure those answers out, I couldn't even answer what most common gamers would ask: Is at an RPG, FPS, 3rd person action/adventure, flight sim, etc. I guess that's why I'm not a game-maker, because it would just take me far too long to put together my masterpiece.

My vote is for Obama. I like his views, however I tend to agree with Clinton a little more on the economy issues. With that said, I think the possibility of having an African-American president shows that this country has come a long way in the war on racism. Now I know that there are still a bunch of racist bastards out there in the good ol' U.S. of A., and I hope that Obama gets elected as president and then hope that every one of those racist bastards puts a bullet in there head right after saying, "I'll die before I live in a country that is run by a (**racial slur**)." This country would be much better off without these racist a-holes. Sadly though, most of these racist p*ssies don't have the balls to put one in there head. I would be glad to do it for them.

(that was rather brutal, so let me lighten the mood a little, lol)

So it's almost baseball season! WOO HOO! GO CARDS!

Ummm, Blu-Ray is getting closer to being available for the 360, as I told all of you all along, it's pretty likely that it will be available eventually. Although, I didn't expect it to be coming so quickly. But then again, if MS takes too long getting Blu-Ray for the 360, it may be too little, too late and the hype for it could be over if they just sat on it, so maybe that's why MS is getting the ball rolling almost immediately after HD-DVD died. Of course, the whole talk about Blu-Ray on 360 is just rumor at this point, but sounds like some of these rumors are coming from highly-trusted sources.

I beat Dead Rising last week, that was fun. However, I'm probably only going to play it through one more time to see if I can get anymore of the achievements and then trade it in. I just don't know if I'll really ever care to play it anymore after I play it through one more time.

I started playing Oblivion, DAT GAME IS DA BOMB!!! I'm sure I'll be wasting countless hours playing the crap out of it. Only complaint is that I wish I didn't have to go to a different screen just to pull my map up each time. Wish I could put a little map in the corner of the playing-field instead.

Did I mention I bought a PSP? Yep, but still waiting for my Killzone to come in the mail from ebay. It's been over 2 weeks, seller told me to be patient. Ummmm, sure........ok. I'm about 2 mouse-clicks away from sending him a negative feedback.

Ok, I'm outtie.
