GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Tuesday, Jun 30, 2009

I've been sick the past few days and well that lent itself to playing slightly more games than usual on accounts of not having to be at work.
I put in a good few hours into MLB:The Show which I am really enjoying, although I do pretty much suck at it. Actually I am not bad at pitching but useless when it comes to batting. I've almost got a hitter and a pitcher ready for promotion n to the MLB, that's when I see the real game starting, at least on the Road to the Show Side of things.

I also managed to complete Ghostbusters, which is a really fun game, it's pretty linear so I may do some further trophy hunting at a later stage but replaying any of it this soon will seem like a bit of a chore rather than enjoyable. Multiplayer is fun enough but I need to play a bit more before I make a final decision on this aspect of the game.
I'll endeavour to post a review in the next few days.

I also pulled out the PS2 from storage and popped in Rouge Galaxy, which I have never played until now, so far I am only an hour in, which is hardly enough to really get into the game but I am loving the combat system immensely and the story, is hard to gauge its at this stage but is at least competent.

I also put in a good couple of hours in to FFVII and its fun the story so far is engaging but I find it is showing its age in a few respects, mostly in respect to the lack of tutorials that you can go back to, especially in regard to the materia system, I just don't fully comprehend it from the meagre information you are given in the game (or maybe I just haven't progressed far enough) or maybe I think it is more complex than it actually is, which is very likely. I also find the lack of some kind of quest journal to be a little disconcerting although I am not far enough through it to really form a full judgement on this. It's still a great game and I am taking nothing away from it at all just a few irks that may or may not be unfounded.

In other news I've ordered Cross Edge, BlazBlue, Nights in the Nightmare and SMT: Devil Survivor, so I'm set for RPG's and fighting games for now. Especially now I have purchased a fight stick. I have got to go back to SFIV now, which is by no means a bad thing.

Although I am still disappointed about the lack of RPG's on the PS3, but I guess beggars can't be choosers. Rouge Galaxy has reminded me how much I love RPG's as a whole so a lack this generation is leaving me feeling a bit empty.

Well that's been a bit of an update from me, now excuse me while I try and get over my coughing fits.

Aw, poor mattsnibbs. Hope you get better man. I've been lucky enough to dodge the flu/cold so far this year... I think I may have just jinxed it.

I'm interested in Ghostbusters but I don't have a PS3 and it's not coming to 360 is it? Damn.
Used to love FFVII but I prefer VIII.
