Yes!!! I finally got it!!!

I've had 10,000 kills for a while now and I was playing ranked matches yesterday and at the end of a match the "seriously..." achievement randomly popped up I had to get over 11,500 kills before it actually registered! Its quite nice to actually have it now though, the way I was going I thought I'd never get it!

I'm trying to get the "This is annex" achievement now, which is a pain because it seems every game I play my whole team will quit and I end up playing on my own, which isn't fun at all Oh well, just wanted to put that out there...

Also I've ordered Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles - Ring Of Fates from play.com:

It was only £9.99 and I fancied getting a game for my DS seing as I don't play it at all at the moment.

I don't know much about this game, but I want to know: Will it really teach me how to cook??

has anyone got it? If so what is it like.

I lam rubbish at cooking so this may help me although I would be nervous using my DS as a recipe book incase I got food all over it, or dropped it etc.

What is up with all these non-game ds titles and what will be the next "training" title?

Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you will know that Street Fighter IV is making the transition to 3D rendered characters and backgrounds, but will still play in traditional 2D street fighter fasion With the new 3D and 2D gameplay it is being dubbed as the "2.5D" effect.

First off I'd like to point out that I love street fighter games and at first I was unsure how a SF game would play in 3D form but from taking a look at recent footage, Street Fighter IV looks amazing! I'm not going to go into the gameplay, because I can't really judge it by videos without playing it, so I'm going to talk about the characters.

The game includes The original "World Warriors" Blanka, Chun Li, Dhalsim, E. Honda, Guile, Ken, Ryu, Zangief, Balrog, Vega, Sagat and M. Bison from Street Fighter II. New fighters Abel, Crimson Viper, El Fuerte, Rufus and Seth have also been confirmed. Looking at that roster Chun Li and Viper are the only two female fighters confirmed for this game but producer Yoshinori Ono has commented, "It isn't finalised yet, but we're trying to use all the characters from Street Fighter II ' Turbo, and we're obviously cooking up new characters as well." some sources suspect that Cammy and Sakura will be added to the roster at some point.

The New Fighters

--------------------Abel-------------------------------Crimson Viper-----------------------

----------------El Fuerte----------------

That is the official art of three of the new characters, if you go to the street fighter website there are character bios on there and links to in game pictures and footage which are really cool.

I was glad to see that 2 of my favorite characters were still in this game, Vega and Chun Li.

I think the character models look fantastic! The characters and environments are all rendered in 3D and have a cel-shaded effect which gives a hand-drawn look.

The fighting I've seen from the videos looks IMMENSE! Something I found interesting during the fighting was how the 2D plane they were fighting on seemed to pan and rotated to follow the fighters.

I'm just gutted that its arcade only until next year, from looking at the footage I'm really hyped for this game already....So where's the nearest arcade?!?

Well that's about it, I'll leave you with this amazing quote!

" WHEN YOU PLAY STREET FIGHTER IV YOU'LL FEEL SO GOOD YOU'LL ACTUALLY WANT TO FALL TO YOUR KNEES. THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO FIND A CAB YOU CAN SIT DOWN IN TO PLAY " LEO TAN CAPCOM

peace out ;D

29 hours, 46 minutes, and 22 seconds.

That was the time that I completed the main story of GTA IV, and I just managed to get the complete the game in under 30 hours achievement. My game progress was 63.75% so there is still quite a lot left that I can do, which is a good thing because I'm not bored of this game!

I don't think I'm going all out for the 100% completion achievement though, because collecting the hidden packages/pigeons doesn't seem much fun.

After finishing the main story I can say this is probably the best story in a game that I have played for a long time.

I think this quote pretty much sums up how I'm feeling about this game right now: All those early reviews, where everyone tossed out the highest score they could give, left me scratching my head a bit in the game's early hours. But I get it now. I understand." - Jeff Gerstman.

Daztheninja, CravingWinter and myself went to the midnight release for GTA IV at Gamestation, even though Me and Daz had it preordered from GAME, but we got some really cool display art off the guy who worked there, so it was woth it .

Its the best game I've played on the Xbox 360 to date, and maybe even the best game on any console I've ever played. The graphics are off the chain and the gameplay mechanics/physics are immense! I just love the rag doll system. Online mode is really fun to play with friends and I can see myself playing this for a loong time. I've put about 13 hours into the single player, my progress is around 24% of the storyline completed and I played some free play/deathmatch multiplayer which was really fun.

If you don't already have this game then I'd recommend it as a must own title!

On the gaming front, I've managed to finish God of War: Chains of Olympus on psp, it was really fun and definetly one of the better games out on psp! I'm currently still playing through Crisis core, I havn't really made much progress though .

My brother got this before we went on holiday, and I've started playing it recently, its not all that bad to be honest, I wasn't expecting much from it but its been quite fun so far.

Also, I have been tagged by Zoe256, so here are 5 things that (err..I asume) you don't know about me:

1. I'm in my first year of university, studing Quantity Surveying and one day I will create my own Grand Designs, like on the tv show!

2. I'm afraid of giving blood, I don't have a phobia for needles though, I have no problem with injections, and I got injected for typhoid to go on holiday recently, its just when its a needle, and sucking blood OUT of me I just can't stand it...eww. I got to stop talking about this now, its freaking me out just thinking about it

3. I always leave everything until the last minute, whether it be getting ready to go out or doing my assignments for cla.ss I think I work better under pressure though so it doesn't really affect my grades.

4. I sometimes get obsessed with the latest movie/game/tv show that I watch/play, and I have to find out everything about it and its characters, download pictures, wallpapers, music etc. Yeah, I'm a bit of a nerd, lol.

5. I used to collect golly wog badges with marmalade tokens, lol. Fair play, I loved those little things!

Well thats it, so Daztheninja & McFry, if your reading this, thats right, I'm tagging you, mwhahaha...ha.
