So as some of you might know, i set myself a challenge not to buy any games til 30th of january - and well, i failed . Im disappointed with myself as i think i have a spending problem . Anyway, i got a few new games which are; NHL 08, Lair, Arkadian warriors (X360 arcade game), Blazing Angels 2, Mercury and Miami Vice (both PSP games). NHL 08 is a little disappointing and i dont like it as much as 07 to behonest, Lair is not as bad as reviews make out, sure the game would be ALOT better with the use of analogue sticks instead of the Six Axis, but at least the Six Axis is responsive and the game looks good, just a few camera issues make the game a bit of a pain. Blazing Angels 2 is lame though, ive got used to Ace Combat 6 controls now and the controls on BA2 just seem retarded to me, ill probably trade it in at some point for RB6 for the PS3 or something, we'll see. Im trying to keep this short by the way i also forked out a whopping £40 for a Dual Shock 3 controller, i am really looking forward to getting this lol, i dont know why, its just the same controller but with vibrations lol. Ive importd it from Japan so it will be another week or so before i receive it, but hopefully it will add weight to as the ps3 controller is quite light. I dont really know what else to write about so im going straight to My Gaming Rewards 2007 ooo, and i hope everybody had a good xmas
