I'm going to blog all the games I'm currently playing. Post a comment on how you feel about the game.

Hi everyone,

It's been a long time since I posted a blog, but I've managed to squeeze in time to play a lot of games since November--Assassin's Creed, Eternal Sonata, Bioshock, Smash Bros. Brawl, Crysis, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. I also now have a Nintendo Wii so that completes the current console collection. Surprisingly, I've been using my PS3 the most, playing games and watching Blu-Rays and DVDs. I would say I'm playing the 360 the second most, and the Wii the least. One thing that the Wii does that annoys the crap out of me is the blue flashing light when there's an update. Anyways, the latest games I'm playing now are GTA4 and Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney.

GTA4 is superb and really improves on everything you expect out of a GTA game. It feels like we've waited a long time for this, and it certainly delivers. The new online multiplayer is fun, but I've experienced frequent disconnects when you wait to start a game. The lobby system has a lot of room for improvement. I'd like to a sever list where you can enter rooms as you please. Instead it randomly puts players together like Halo 3, except it doesn't work nearly as well.

Apollo Justice is pretty much like the previous Phoenix Wright games expect they added in some really cool looking cut scenes. It's a little disappointing how similar it looks to previous games considering it's a real DS game, not a GBA port. But if you liked the last 3 chapters, I'd still recommend picking up the latest installment. That's raps it up, take care everyone.

Phoenix Wright 3

Hello GameSpotters,

For the past few weeks I've been playing a lot of Team Fortress 2 and Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations.

I must say, not much has changed in the Phoenix Wright series, which is a little disappointing. You still collect evidence, find contradictions, and eventually save the day. I guess what makes the game so good are the likable characters and interesting story plots. It just would have been nice if you could fast-forward all the long-winded text.

I'm on the last Turnabout case and everything feels like it coming to a full circle. I'm looking forward to the Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney series because it looks like it's finally going to change things up with more DS features.

The next games I'm on my list are Assassin's Creed and Bioshock. Although I should play my 360 more, I think I'll try renting Assassin's Creed on the PS3. That's all for now, have a good weekend.

Orange Box...Best Deal Ever?

Hey all,

I recently picked up The Orange Box for an amazing $40 last Thursday for the PC. And to commemorate this event, I've changed my banner and avatar.

I've been playing it non-stop and it really brings back all the old memories of TFC. The only game I've played so far is Team Fortress 2 and it's familiar, but also a lot different.

It's cool how the all the maps are for the most part the same--2Fort, Well, Dustbowl, etc. And nothing is as fun as playing the Spy and sneaking up on unsuspecting enemies.

It's a shame Valve took away grenades, but I'm sure they had their reasons. Anyways, I would have to agree that this could be one of the best deals in Video Game history.
