  Officially done with Gamespot reviews; Finally back from my forced hiatus

  I've had it with Gamespot and from now on I'm only listening to player reviews. Too often they either underrate or overrate games and I'm getting sick and tired of it.
  
  The latest review of Mercenaries 2 is the worst case lately, they have it a 5.0...That's far too low especially when the other sites have given it an average of a 78 which is good and the player score based on 1500 people is 8.5. Something is amiss with that.
  
  I played the game myself and it was awesome and a lot of fun and next weekend I plan to get either Mercenaries 2 or Spore. We'll see when the time comes. I'm leaning towards Spore because of a lasting value and it's cheaper. IF you want to suggest which one for me to get just post it as a comment!
  
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  In conclusion there are countless other reviews on Gamespot that have been a load of crap from the Oblivion review which seriously overrated the game to the Too Human review. I respect their work and I understand it's one opinion but you'd think they would try to write at least a good review.
  
  I respect Kevin V's work, he's usually on the ball but he has done some wonky ones notably Too Human and rating the sequel to Condemned higher then the original (Something it obviously was not).
  
  To make it short, I'm only listening to player reviews now until they make good and informative reviews, not just game bashing reviews like the one Mercenaries 2 is.

  First day back to school, it was good

  Well I just got back from my first day of school, I met all my teachers today and got the talk. I go to a private school which centers around university placement, 100 percent of the students at my school go on to university and higher education so we're all expected to do the same.
  
  Of course we got the typical talks about entering grade 11, how it's the hardest year and the most important blah blah blah.
  
  Lucky for me though I got great courses I chose and excellent teachers to back all that up.
  
  My courses in order and my initial impressions:
  
  French 11: Looks great, a large improvement over last year too because I got a great teacher who hand picked me to be there. She gave me a 98% average last year in a differnt course so this should be good.
  
  Biology 12: Same teacher I had for Biology but I skipped Bio 11 and went straight to 12 thanks to my good marks. I figure this will be fine and the outline is good. We get to dissect a pig and a beef heart.
  
  Chemistry 11: This also looks good, I've had the teacher before and he gave ma a 94% in chemistry. Nothing too challenging here.
  
  Math 11: I've never had this teacher but I've heard bad things. She seems nice and the course seems alright but it's without a doubt the hardest year of math in high school. I'll live through it though. I always do alright in math.
  
  Economics 12AP: Looks to be my most challenging course but that is why I picked it. I knew this before going in.
  
  Media Arts 11: Looks interesting but a lot of people who do it are in grade 10 for some reason. I might switch out for that reason but the stuff they do seems awesome like film making, photoshop, photography, and animation. All stuff I am interested in.
  
  Socials 11: Looks great, I've had this teacher before and got a 96% average. He's a great teacher.
  
  English 11: I know the teacher of this course since I was in her home room last yaer. We read some interesting books and I'm sure I'll enjoy this course
  
  That's about all for now, if you read this please comment!

  30 Blog Posts! ; I'll see Mercenaries 2 later this month

  Well, this is my 30th blog post. Quite the achievement considering I've only been doing this for about a month now and a bit. I hope to keep it up forever as long as I got something to say.
  
  In other and more important news, I decided against getting Mercenaries 2. It's not that I don't want it but I wanted Rainbow Six Vegas 2 a bit more today. I'll be getting Mercenaries 2 in a week and a half give or take and I can't wait to try it out but until then I got Vegas 2 to keep me going and I plan to spend a lot of time on it.
  
  So far the game is great, the only is awesome and the sprint feature is well received by me. My only complaint is it's not very tactical but who cares it's still a blast to play and the single player is a lot more fun this time around.
  
  Definately glad I got it, anyone who got Mercenaries 2 please tell me how it is.
  
  If you want to play Vegas 2 with me throw me an add on Xbox live. I'd like to play some co-op.
