Well, if any of you care at this point, i'm going to try and update you on what has happened since my last blog post. Not much has, and it's been a long time...
First and foremost, about a week and a half ago, I did what could be my greatest gaming achievement so far. On Guitar Hero 3, I passed Through the Fire and Flames on Expert. Sure, it was a terrible score, but I passed it.... I gobsmacked myself. I failed at like 80-90% like 20 times.
I recently got Left 4 Dead, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Mass Effect on the XBox 360, and they're all great games.
Left 4 Dead is like your typical zombie shooter, but thing is I can't play more than a campaign (which is an hour or so) of it before saying I've had enough and just play some other game and leave it off for awhile.
I haven't played enough of Mass Effect yet, I'd say I just about surpassed the boundries of "First Impressions" at this point, but so far it's been fun, mixing both RPG and the combat elements of a typical shooter together well.
Last but not least, Oblivion. Wow. I am in love with this game, it's the reason this blog wasn't put up a few days prior to now, it is very addictive. I've already made 4 characters, although only 2 of them have made it far enough to be worth mentioning.
This game (and my recent return to Call of Duty 4) is the reason Left 4 Dead and Mass Effect hasn't gotten enough attention. There is just so much to do in Oblivion, I've already put hours into it and not even a couple of them have been into the main storyline. There's just far too many distractions like the guilds and many different groups you can join. Also, the game is beautiful. Probably the first game I said this about, but the scale of the graphics when looking around at the view from atop a mountain is just phenomonal.
I've recently been playing alot of Call of Duty 4 and a bit of Halo 3. Not much else to say about that really.
Oh yes, and awhile back I got another 2100 Microsoft points. They were used to buy the Halo 3 Mythic Map pack, which was okay, one mediocre map, one map I don't really like at all and one map I love, and the Metallica Death Magnetic album DLC for Guitar Hero 3. Very fun songs.
I plan on delving back into Rainbow Six Vegas 2 soon to see how well it holds up and to get the one or two ranks I have left to reach Elite status.
Before I got my XBox Live back I played alot of a little addictive game called Maplestory. I got my Cleric to Priest, my first character to hit 3rd job, and he is now at lv. 75. If anyone plays the North American version of Maplestory (I'm not American, but there wasn't a European version way back then) by any chance, add my character Cleric119944 if you like. Also, i'm on the world Broa.
The next games to get are Gears of War 2 and Guitar Hero Metallica, then i'm set until about christmas, though i'll probably try to stick in one or two more games before now and then with all this great stuff being announced at E3.
I'll try to post more blogs since I'm off school for this ridiculous amount of time now and have not much to do. I find it hard to think up of ideas for blogs and to be, quite frankly, bothered to write them up. Hardly anyone will pay attention anyway.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I "celebrated" my birthday a couple of weeks back and my sisters last week.... Yup.
