  Got a PS3!!!

  This is a quick blog saying that I have reached a gaming milestone. I bought a Playstation 3 this past Saturday at my Best Buy. I decided to get the system due the great games that have been released such as Batman, Uncharted, Assassin's Creed. I took advantage of an extra income of money that was not expected which was put into use to buy the PS3. For the record, I got a PS3 slim with 120 GB of memory. This basically the standard now for PS3 that is $300. I also get an extended warrenty with Best Buy for safety reasons. I am amazed with the content that the PS3 has even WITHOUT having a game to play. The PS3 looks sweet next to my other consoles and completes the triangle of consoles surrounding the TV. As for games, I took advatange of Toys R' Us having a sale of buy 2 ANY games get one free. I ended up buying Batman, Prince of Persia, and Assassin's Creed. I wanted to get Uncharted 1 instead of AC, but they had no copies of Uncharted. I haven't played very much yet because of a busy weekend and school. Yet, Batman is AWESOME laong with Prince of Perisa having great graphical design and platforming. I have yet to play AC. I always knew I'd get a PS3 but never knew when. As always, Game on!
  
  P.S, look for a tagged blog soon!

  Whoa! It has Been a Long Time.

  It has been ages since my last blog and many things have happened. I just finished my third week of class at Daytona State College. I also completed my first Organic Chemistry I exam today too. It was a challenging exam but I believe I got at least a B. This class will be the hardest this semester besides Physics I and developmental pysch. My summer ended with a bang. I took an entire week off from work and relaxed before classes started. All I did was play games, watch movies, and hang out with friends and family. I also went to Universal Studios (first time) and Islands of Adventure (second time) with friends for a day in Orlando. My friends got me on my very FIRST roller coaster which was the The Hulk. We also sat up front on the ride. I was was really nervous, but I had a blast and do it again. Another ride that was great was the Mummy ride at Universal that was an inside roller coaster with a bunch of special effects, awesome. Now it is back to school for now.
  
  
  
  For the video game world, I completed about eight games this summer. I have three games that I have to do the boss fights. One game that has been a great game is Shadow of the Colossus. The graphic design and the awe of the different colossi are really something. The other two games are Chrono Trigger (still, been on my list all summer) and Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. Advance Wars has been a great turn base game with stragery and action. The last chapter has been giving me a lot of trouble. I have a small army against the boss that pumps out baddies faster than I can count. I am close to beating him though.
  
  As for other video game news, I would like to get a PS3 for a long time now. Thank goodness that a wish came true that Sony dropped the price to $300 for a 120GB slim. I really do hope to get a Slim at the end of the year. I already pitched the idea to my Mom. She said I didn't need any more games, but you can never have too many games. She is not entirely convinced yet so I need to work on that. I even offered to help pay for it and my sister said she would too. I know eventually that I will get a PS3 sometime. I am also debating to pick up Scribblenauts for my DS later in the month. The game looks great with its puzzle design and play. I haven't decided yet and I hope to finish more games before getting it too. Well that is it for now folks. What are your game video hopes for the remaining year? The Wii doesn't look very strong at this point with only NSMB Wii I am looking at. As always, Game On!

  I Spent $620 on...

  ... school books for my upcoming school semester in the fall! Sorry to disappoint, but sadly there was nothing video game related to the $620. I am actually looking forward to school this time around with Organic Chemistry, Physics I, and Development Psych. I will certainly be kept busy this coming fall. Yet, that is enough of school for now.
  
  The video game world is moving right along. The top news is that I just finished The Conduit for the Wii. All I have to say it was fanastatic to Wii standards coming from High Voltage Software. I rated the game a 8.5/10 overall. I think the game is better than what GS stated in their review and others. The story was good, but nothing too special. Yet, I was caught off guard by the revealing of Promthus.

  ***SPOILER***

  He is actually an alien of the Drudge used by The Trust

  . The online is superb as well which I always get beat in. I do hope that High Voltage takes that step to develop a new game somehow despite how the game ended. I am proud to that The Conduit was my first FPS and glad I bought it.
  
  As for now, I am working some birthday games like Punch Out!!! and MLB 09: The Show. Punch Out is just a classic with the quirky characters and being a fun arcade boxing game that isn't too serious. The Show is serious baseball action requiring thought and a little about baseball. I am still getting beaten though. I also picked up Ratchet: Deadlocked for my PS2 from Kmart that was closing out in my area for $14. There were other games, but I selected this since I enjoy Ratchet. One question though, what did YOU think I spent $620 on? I wish it was a PS3. Well Game on!
