GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Saturday, Jan 12, 2008

This past week or so I haven't blogged, not once, a part of that was because I was just too lazy to do so and had nothing to really blog about and the other part was because of Glitchspot's blog problem. Well now its working again and here I am blogging. A few more thing have happened and some more news/issues popped up that I wanted to address but lets start off with some of the recent game that I have been playing, shall we?

Well recently I got a few games off my friend for around $60 or so, well not a few, specifically 9. These include: Guitar Hero 2 (game only), Burnout 3 (huge fan), Burnout Dominator, FIFA 08, Ratchet and Clank 3, Ratchet; Deadlocked/Gladiator, Digital Devil Saga, WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2008 and Rogue Galaxy.

I would just like to say that Rogue Galaxy did infact not work, it was the only game that I was really looking forward to besides the Burnout games and IT DIDNT FREAKIN' WORK! Oh well I guess it was a great buy nonetheless Svr08 and FIFA 08 are the same old thing and the Ratchet games are quite good. DDS plays quite nicely too but the most addicting game out of the bunch has to be GH2, yes I kno Im a little late to the party on this one (and some of the other ones) but I just love this game.

I'm currently rocking out on medium and I doubt I could go to hard mode, guess Im just going to 5* every song on medium then. I also got the guitars but they were the unofficial ones, kinda disappointing but they still work good even though they dont have the same feel as the normal GH guitars. My friend and I were playing it before and it was lots of fun, I'm looking forward to playing it later

I also returned my copy of Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes, I just didnt think it was worth the money I paid it, which was $40, simply said its a Ultimate Ninja upgrade. With that being said I now have $40 worth of store credit at JB-Hi Fi to use, hmm what to spend it on? Most likely a PSP game. I was thinking of getting 2 or 3 really cheap but fun PSP games. I saw Loco Roco the other day for $15 but since I have to use the whole of my $40 I didnt kno what else to get, recommendations anyone?

Ok now that I got games out of the way, lets get to the serious stuff, the subscription to my cable has ended. Yep for thos of you that live in Australia, I have no more Foxtel. Now I'm back to 6 channels of pathetic free-to-air TV...ugh. On the flipside I guess this will get me gaming more and in some respects studying more...more of which I really need to do

I thought I might chuck in some fairly old (you could say) game related news about Soul Calibur 4. If you haven't heard yet there are 2 additional cameo characters added to the game these being Darth Vader and Yoda. At first I didnt know what to make it and then I thought "wow how cool is that" and then I came to a conclusion, this is just stupid. I guess Namco is really need of some money if they have to pull a stunt like this, what amazes me is that you can't even have Vader vs Yoda. WTF? Im not kidding folks, its Vader for the PS3 version and Yoda for the XBOX 360 version. Oh well atleast we can have Yoda vs Voldo. Now that would be a show, wouldn't it?

Guess what game got announced recently? Resistance 2. I played a bit fo Resistance: Fall of Man on my friends PS3 and I loved it but what makes this one special is that it has 60 people online multiplayer. 30 humans vs 30 Chimeras anyone?

Now to some sad stuff. Another one of our beloved Gamespot editors are leaving and this time it's one of my personal favorites, Alex Navarro. I think it was today or yesterday (depending where you live) Navarro handed in a notice which stated that he would leave gamespot on the January 24th. I know that I will definetely miss him. I initially said after Jeff's departure that if Alex went then I'm going, but I'm not going to do that to GS again, they need my support and I'll do so til the day I die...or atleast until I get bored of this site/community Atleast theres positives coming out of this, Alex has been appearing on Jeffs videoblogs recently, hinting that they might form a partnership.

Nothing else here to report besides that school starts in 3 weeks or so, I still have alot of time to chillax and also i'm taking my Learnes Permit Test exactly one week before school starts, so my mum won't be naggin' me about this again. I haven'treally been rostered that many shifts at work lately, they probably don't want me around, doesn't matter though it just means more time for gaming. Anyways this is all for me. Laterz.

Soul-Reaper-Zaxin.

Guitar Hero is awesome, no doubt about that. And I am very sad about Alex Navarro leaving, I wonder if we will be seeing Ryan Davis leaving soon too, as he is in that friendship cycle. I hope not. Ryan Davis, Alex Navarro and Jeff Gerstmann were the laughter in the live coverage. Even after Jeff's departure it was worth watching the live coverage just because Ryan and Alex were there to make it more fun. Oh well, let's not hope the worst about Ryan Davis, and live coverage will still be enjoyable to watch, probably.

Woah. longest comment ever for me. ^^

@mars: yeh GoW and GTA will b awesome
@triedge: .............uh huh
@Horde: GH is awesome and I hope Ryan Davis and Ryan McDonald don't leave either because they are really the only ones that are pretty cool on GS. And so is Brad Shoemaker (coz of his voice).

Wait, WTF?! U got a game for 40 and when u returned it u got the same back as Store Credit?! That is ****ing AWESOME. I wish GameStop did that. As for Soul Calibur IV, my excitement it going thru the roof. And as for Resistance 2...AWESOME!

@DV: I hate u for life nah its all good. Oh well I still think 9 games for $60 is a good buy, even if one of them is faulty.

@LR1: Yep JB-Hi Fi r the best. SC4 should be good and R2 should be great 2

Having Darth Vader in Soul Calibur isn't such a bad idea. But then again I would have preffered young Darth Vader (You know when before he got his robot body) Yoda is just tottaly random I think, I mean heck! there are better Jedi's/Sith lords out there!
Posted Jan 15, 2008 11:37 am PT
Dude Yoda is like 1000 yrs old and hes still kickin' @$$, I seriously don't think there are better jedis/sithlords than him.

Posted Jan 15, 2008 6:16 pm PT
