I've decided to make a weekly blog... just to keep my blog updated. Actually I had planned to do it yesterday but forgot, as I was busy writing a review for Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords which you can read here. Read and reccomend it if you like it. It is quite long and objective but I've quite a lot of info into it.

Games

I've been playing Dead Space for about a week now and I'm nearing the end. And what a game! It surely takes the top honours of its genre.

Books

Got the Inheritance trilogy(Eragon series) the day before yesterday and have started reading the first book Eragon. The plot's delving deeper but I've hardly grazed the surface. I also bought another book 'One Night at a Call Centre' by Chetan Bhagat... an Indian author. It's supposedly a good book but I don't know how many ppl have heard of it.

Movies

Now what did I watch last week... ah yes! I watched Departed. Great movie. Jack Nicholson and Matt Damon literally smoked the scenes with their great acting. Even though Di Caprio was good, I felt he could have done better as he is capable of more.

Gamespot and E3

No, this is not a detailed E3 analysis, so don't cringe. I watched the Microsoft and Nintendo press conferences. Nintendo's wasn't very interesting(God, some of their presenters looked lioke they were in terrible pain) but MS sizzled. I've got high hopes for Modern Warfare 2 and I'm also intrigued by Project Natal. Good going MS, but get your consoles fixed first before you go for new ventures.
Accursed GS has not given me the Nintendo emblem yet and I wonder if they're even gonna give it. Maybe they'll eat it just as they did for my Best of Gamespot 2008 emblem.

In other things, my college has begun as I said in my previous blog and is taking a toll on my time. I also joined a new union... Bookspot(and they've already made me an officer. Not good news, is it? )

See ya, next week

... and that includes vacation. Yup! My summer vacation is over and I'm once again busy with college. To make matters worse it looks like I'll be having a more hectic semester(if that's even possible). This means that I'll be having very little time to afford on the internet and even lesser time with this glitchy slow-loading site called Gamespot. I'll drop in as much as I can especiaally during the weekends but it's rough to stay around for long during the weekdays.

In other news, I watched parts of the Microsoft and Nintendo press conferences. It was really a great experience especially watching a telecast live with a slow-as-snail internet. Too bad I couldn't watch Sony's PC or Gamespot's live as I had college. I've already got the MS E3 badge and I'm waiting for the Nintendo badge. It should come soon (if they didn't forget me )

In gaming... I'm playing Dead Space. It's gotta be the best the survivor horror genre has too offer. I'll write a review as soon as possible

See ya

While surfing the big bad world called internet I came across an interesting site called MyBrute. It's a game where you don't actually control your player. Yeah you read that right, you DON'T control the player. Can't understand? Check this one out and you'll see.
