Hello all !!! I hope you're doing ok and that you already had some nice, sunny weather wherever you may live.
It's been more than a month since my previous blog, but don't worry, I filled a lot of that time with gaming. 
I finished the 2 games I'm going to discuss, in March but like many of you, most of the time I prefer gaming instead of spending hours writing about it. That's the reason why it took some time before I finally made this blog with 2 mini-reviews.
The first game I finished in March was....
Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy (Xbox360/PS3)
When this game was released last year, it already had caught my eye but I read it was a quite short game, so I waited a couple of months to buy it till the price dropped. It's indeed a short action game, but a very fun and entertaining one. And these facts; "fun" and "entertaining" determine greatly my idea about a game, whether it's short or not.
THE GOOD : hand to hand combat is great - several ways to do takedowns (visually also well done) - never a dull moment - great music , suits the game very well - nice voice-acting and graphics - some challenging boss fights - fun racing mission.
THE BAD : no Matt Damon- gun fights aren't as fun as hand to hand combat - the single player mode is quite short (only 11 missions and some of them are really short) so maybe it would have been better to add a co-op and /or multiplayer mode.
GS score : 8.0
My score : 8.5
The second game I beat in March was ....
Uncharted : Drakes Fortune (PS3)
When I told Phoenyx9 that I was going to buy a PS3, she recommended me 2 games : Uncharted and Heavenly Sword. And I must say, I'm so glad that I followed her advise (at least what Uncharted concerns, I still have to play Heavenly Sword). Uncharted is one of those games that can overwhelm you and oh boy, it did ! It has become one of my favourite games from the last years and you must know, usually I'm not a big fan of action games, RPG is my genre.
But Uncharted manages to present us an excellent mix of adventure and action. It has been compared many times with Tomb Raider. Its main character, Nathan Drake, has been called a male Lara Croft, but in my opinion (and don't forget that when you're reading these mini-reviews) Uncharted is so much better than the TR series (I played the early TR games on the PS, so can't say something about the most recent ones ; Legend and Underworld).
THE GOOD : one big, continuous, exciting adventure - beautiful graphics and excellent animations - very good voice-acting and music - variation in gameplay : jumping sequences (adventure)/gun fights (action)/jet-ski racing/puzzles (adventure), although, I must admit, that the adventure sequences almost entirely disappear near the end of the game - nice length for an action/adventure game - no frustrating jumping sequences like in the early Tomb Raider games, where they could me drive crazy - if you like action/adventure games (with emphasis on "action") and you have a PS3.... get this game immediately !
THE BAD : hunting for treasures is boring - some may add that there's no co-op and /or multiplayer mode but in my opinion the singleplayer is solid enough to carry the entire weight.
GS score : 8.0
My score : 9.5
That's it for today. I hope to make another blog soon with an update about the games I'm playing right now. Till then, have fun while gaming and take good care .

*Matt : Thanks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*Morkki : Indeed, Uncharted is great ! Oooh, you didn't like the race in the Mini ? !?, I loved it, great fun! Heavenly Sword is on my "to play this year" list.
From your list i only played uncharted Drakes Fortune and i agree its totally a awesome game Heavenly sword is Nice game too I'm very glad to hear you enjoying your PS 3 so much and its games JoyDA
I used to own a PS 3 , not anymore , sold it I used to have few games on my PS 3 before i sold them also : RFOM , Motorstorm , Uncharted Drakes Fortune , MGS 4 , Ninja Gaiden sigma and Heavenly Sword . I'm sure you will love each and every of the above mentioned games if you happen to purchase em on your convinience
I enjoyed Bourne too, I want to play that one a second time as well and go find all the passports. I'll need an online guide for that though. great reviews btw..
I used to like my ps3 more than my 360, till I got wrapped up in that 360 voice site and its challenges.
Also i own Uncharted GREAT game!!!
and ive never played Bourne
* Phee : Yep, Uncharted is sure a blast although the treasure hunting wasn't my cup of tea, too boring in my eyes. I found almost half of them when I played through the game. If I go back to the game, it's for having fun again not looking for those boring treasures.
Hehe, you sure had your share of bird hunting
Did you see that in GTA CW you have to destroy security cameras to get closer to 100% ?You and your challenges "shakes head"
* Denis : you heard wrong....Uncharted isn't just "pretty good", it's great !!
I'm sure you would like Uncharted if you get it.* Nukku : Ummppf, that's way too warm for me too ! I hope you have your practice hours late in the afternoon or in the evening because doing sports in such a weather is very unhealthy. Another Uncharted enthusiastic, great !
I heard LBP is so awesome , glad you made perfect decision on the game . Dw , you can buy Resistance 2 , Killzone 2 anyday you wish Yet i didn't sell nor will ever sell ( I was talking about it to Phee ) , my Favourite GTA P.C games , kept them and'll keep them always , love them the most
I'm playing GTA CW at the moment and I must admit..I love it, imagine how I will enjoy the 3D GTA games Indeed, it's my very first GTA game that I plan to finish, I started all the others but never finished them but this time it's different.I hope your financially situation will allow you to buy your favourite consoles again really soon and the games you love to play on them
Good you didn't sell your GTA games, you're as much as a GTA junkie as Phee
I don't have a PS3 but if I did I would most certainly check out Uncharted.
* Gary : Thanks Gary, those are very friendly words.
Now that you're working as a nuclear engineer, maybe you can buy a PS3 soon
* Goran : He's still alive !!!
30 C ?!?! That's way too warm, 25 is ideal for me.
She has a bad circulation so her feet are cold like a corpse on 30C
During wintertime I just wear 2 pair of socks and most part of my problem is already solved.
Uncharted is still the only PS3 game I've played through. I didn't like how the end went pure action, but the rest of the game was a great mix of gunplay and exploration.
It's true what you say that near the end the exploration completely disappears from Uncharted, which is a bit sad because I loved the exploration (I call it "jumping sequences").
