If you read my last blog, you will know that I recently purchased a PS3 with MGS4 and Drake's Fortune. They are both excellent games but as a Metal Gear Solid fan, I just have to say, wow. I'm so amazed at how amazing this game is. Ofcourse, I expected it to be, but still I'm blown away by it.

Now, I haven't actually played it yet. I'm just watching my brother play it. It's the story and the settings and I find so amazing. I'm sure once I start the game and get to feel the gameplay I'll be even more in love with this game. My brother has just got to the 4th act, which is quite a nice surprise to us. If you have gotten to this act, I'm sure you know why it's a nice surprise. I don't want to ruin the story just incase someone reads this who hasn't played this game yet but it's brilliant. They take storylines from each MGS game and continue them and I presume will finish them towards the end of the game. It's great for nostalgia if you've played all the MGS games which is why I love it so much. Me and my brother really don't want to finish it because it's so good.

That's about it, short blog. Just had to say how great the game is. See you online.

So, after almost two since the release I got myself a PS3. To be honest, when it was released I never planned on buying it but over time, more and more reasons to buy it came up so I bought it, today.

I now have all the 3 current gen consoles and I guess you're thinking that I'm spoilt. In all fairness, my brother bought the 360 with all hiss money, and I bought the Wii with all my money and almost two years after that we split the money for a PS3. Quite a bit of saving went on before we could afford it though. Anyway, the games we bought are Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (quite a long-winded title) and Uncharted: Drakes Fortune.

Haven't played too much of them, but what I have seen so far is great. I'm only watching my brother play MGS4, and then I'll start my own game once he's done. May sound a bit strange but I did it for all the other Metal Gear Solid games so I may as well continue the tradition for the last MGS game...well by Hideo Kojima anyway. I really look forward to getting further...welll watching my brother get further into it as we have loved the series since we started gaming. MGS1 was our first game. I was 7, and yes my parents thought I was mature enough to watch and ofcourse than play a 15 rating game. I haven't become violent now.

I was playing Uncharted for a good while there. I have to say, it's a very fun game. At the moment I would have given it more than the 8 Gamespot gave it, but I haven't been playing it too long. I guess I should finish it before I make my mind up.

That's about it. I think the PS3 is a great console and I'm glad we bought one. Since the 360 is more my brother's, it's great that I have part ownership of a console to play great looking games that don't come out on the Wii. Don't get me wrong though, I'll still play the Wii.

I noticed I haven't blogged in ages. I saw that my last blog was about my 15 birthday and my 16 birthday is in a few weeks. Oh well!

See you online.

It just went past midnight here in Ireland so it's officially my birthday. The big 15. Now I can get into 15 movies, well probably not since I'm pretty small but still I'm sure I can get ID. . Anyway since it's so early in the day, I can't say if it was a good day but it's a Sunday so it can't be too bad. So now down to the presents. I got them a bit early this year. I got 3 games from my parents and a DVD boxset, and my brother bought me game, and I got money from different money, which I appreciate them all for. Well I got:

Stuntman Ignition for the 360

I loved the first one and this is one is way better. I'm really enjoying it. I've done a good few missions and I've got a tauros nomination and 5 stars in every mission so I'm doing well so far. I'm sure it will get way harder. I'd understand why someone wouldn't like this series but I love the orignality of these games and how you play the game. I just think it's great.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice For All

Again, I loved the first one so I wanted this one. It isn't as good as the first Phoenix Wright but it's still a great game. I'm near the end of the second case, so I'm not that far into it. There are only 4 cases but the next cases will probably get longer like the first one. Another orignal series I love that I would understand why someone wouldn't like but I love it.

God of War 2

Again...again, I loved the first one, and I think God of War 2 is better. I'll play through this one and decide which I think is better after. Anyway, this is a brilliant game and I'm really enjoying it. It's just so much fun and I love the bosses in it which there is way more of than in the first God of War. I'm at The Temple of Euryale. I hope this isn't too far into the game. I'm enjoying it so much I don't want to finish it quickly.It's awesome!

Prison Break Season 2 boxset

I borrowed the first season boxset of somebody and I loved it but it was too late to catch season 2 on TV, and I didn't want to watch it on the internet so I wanted to get this. I'm really enjoying it. Not as good as the first season so far but it's awesome. I'm only on episode 7 and there's been so much happening in the series. The third season is going to be starting at the end of this month over here but if I haven't seen all the episode I can always tape it. I don't want to rush through it so I may have to tape some epsiodes.

And my brother bought me:

Big Brain Academy for Wii

This is the only present I got where I hadn't played or watched the one that came before it. It's pretty fun and since it is supposed to make you smarter it's good. My best score so far is 1405 which is the average for people who have had it for a week so I'm doing well.

And that's all my presents. They're all great and I'm enjoying them all. I got quite a lot this year and I appreciate it all. Well that's pretty much it. See you online!

Some people just don't have opinions. Like tryagainlater.
tryagainlater must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could tryagainlater possibly have for not rating a single film?
