hi guys

how are you all ?, today i took a trip to my local gamestore and found myself standing alone in the ps2 section with some really cheap games, so i picked up

: Rogue Galaxy

: Atelier Iris 2 : The Azoth of destiny

: capcom fighting jam

: snk vs capcom

: capcom classics collection volume 1

: capcom classics collection volume 2

: beyond good and evil

: kingdom hearts 2

: grand theft auto vice city stories

capcom classics were good buys with a few gems on each including the original street fighter, street fighter II, strider, 1941, bionic commando, final fight, ghosts n goblins and more. have started playing rogue galaxy and so far its great, will probably review a few of them when im done.

i got promoted to leader status in the snes rpg union and echo graphics but i dont actually want either as i dont have enough time so if anyone wants to take charge of either of them just let me know.

have a good christmas

hi people

its been over two months now since i made a new blog and tbh i've not really had anything to blog about :p. i havent been on the site as much as i used to but i have been coming on once a day to check all your blogs (even if i didnt comment i have been reading them, honest )

played through quite a few games but havent had enough time to review them, just finished shadow of the colossus 100% and getting to the secret garden took alot of time (it wasnt worth it )

alot of games coming out at the moment so im sure you'll all be busy over the next couple of months, well, enjoy it

hello gamespoters.

some of you may have noticed that i've been MIA for a few months. I havent had enough time to check blog posts or unions due to work, i still wont be on as much for a few more months but i do check my pm's everyday so if you need to contact me then do it there . i did get removed from a couple of friends lists during this time of absence which i was kinda suprised at because i've known a few of these people for such a long time (the others i dont really care about ) but havent had any demotions yet .

i need to thank cashman for the awesome gift, thanks cash

short and sweet i know. speak soon peps

Hello gamespot.

I finished kingdom hearts yesterday and tbh wasnt all that impressed, now dont get me wrong its not a bad game and was good enough to make me want to play KH2 but i dont think its as good as what i've heard, i scored it at a 7.5 and think thats a fair score, if you get the time to read it then thats much appreciated.

I have now started valkyrie profile 2 and so far its been great, alot different to what i was expecting but really good so far, glad i saved it till last

my shadow of the colossus problem still hasnt been sorted out because i cant get an address to send it too. i sent the guy a msg through ebay and he didnt reply so i sent him another and got a reply on my email from a different email address to what i had previously recieved with a house address to send it too but i didnt get a msg on my ebay ? confused ? i dont really know what to do about that at the moment, any advice would be much appreciated.

Im so angry right now, this game was exspensive, everyone says how good the game is and i agree it is great so i spent more than i normally would. i have been playing the game for about five hours give or take, i think im on the 12 colossus and it keeps crashing and then reseting itself. its not like i can take the game back because it was of ebay.

To carry on playing this excellent game i will have to again overpay for a game that i already have. For obvious reasons i dont want to do this. played God of war great game no problems, played Ico great game no problems, played shadow of the colossus great game and it does this !!!!! i really cant believe it,

At least i have the box to look at because that more than makes up for it

hello

Today i finished ICO, i thought that was a great game, cant say i have really played anything like it before. it has my recommendation anyway. I have made a review so anyone that reads it, you have my thanks

i made first impressions 1 and 2 i thought i should do 3 shadow of the colossus seems great so far and well worth the money i payed for it, i think im hooked i cant think of another game like it, it just seems so good. the graphics are beautiful and the music is great, i think it might even make it to one of my favourite game lists if it stays this good

for any requesters that i havent reply'd to, im trying my best but have so many to do and dont like letting people down, i might ask a couple of designer friends if they could help out.

thanks for all the comments on the last blog about the new banner. much appreciated

thanks.

hello gamespot

i finished God of War this weekend so have now started ico, i have played about 4 hours so far and it keeps getting better. I wasnt blown away by it at the start but im really enjoying it now and cant seem to put it down. so far, so good

God of War was great, much enjoyed. i have a review up for it so if you get the time to read it that would be much appreciated, i also reviewed assassins creed as i finished that the other day, so if you get the time

another profile change, i dont know who she is or what she is from, i just had to make a banner with it because it looked so good there is a header to match aswel.

thanks for reading my short update , i will keep you upto date with ico in my next blog

Hello gamespot

First impressions : God of war.

i played about five or six hours so far and this game seems like the real deal, im really enjoying it, i had a big smile on my face when i turned it on because it was that good, it takes alot for a game to do that. the combat in it is great, it reminds me of warrior within only better, my only complaint is i hate respawning, you kill whats there there and then another seven come out of the ground gggrrrrr

First impressions : Kingdom hearts.

kingdom hearts seems good from what iv seen, i only played an hour or so just to check it worked and it looked quite good, im looking forward to playing it some more but wont be playing this or valkyrie before i finish god of war, ico or shadow of the colossus.

First impressions : Valkyrie profile 2.

WOW !!! i just watched the opening cut scene to (again) check it was working, this game looks amazing, its been the number one game on my wish list for about six months and its nice that it looks as good as i was hoping.

haven't tested any of the others yet, god of war has been keeping me occupied i did finish assassins creed before gow, i thought that was an awesome game. i can see what people mean by its repetitiveness but i still really enjoyed it, a review should be up in a couple of days.

also i have about seven banners, a couple of headers and a few sigs to make so if you are waiting on something i will try and get it done soon but i have alot to get through so it might take some time.

thanks

hello gamespot

today has been quite good for me gaming - wise. i bought five new games off ebay, i have been wanting most of them for a while so i went abit crazy

the first is valkyrie profile 2 : silmeria. i have wanted this game for a long time now and was probably my most wanted game on my wishlist, its an rpg made by square - enix, looks like my kind of game so im looking forward to playing it.

the second game i bought is ico, i think it looks great, it was one of the more exspensive games but its the limited edition with the art cards and stuff.

number 3 is god of war, alot of people have played this game and all seem to love it, this has also been on my wishlist for some time so im glad i have finaly picked it up.

the 4th game is kingdom hearts, i think i will be playing this first. alot of final fantasy fans tell me how good it is and i see good reviews everywhere.

and the last game was the most exspensive, i think it looks great. i watched 5_LD_5's vid the other day and thought i just have to get it, its been on my wishlist for too long (like all the others) so i had to pick it up. this is also the limited edition with the art cards and stuff.

quite excited about finally being able to play these, ( i hope they come soon ) i have assassins creed to play while im waiting though so all is good

thanks for reading, im sure i will review the games once i beat them.

also here is my latest sig, cnc if you want

hi

i cleaned my friends list the other day as i only get about 20 comments on my blog and for over 200 people on my friends list thats not very good. so about half have gone, i will probably edit some more aswell.

i was also thinking i would do a series of blogs about ''the games that started it all'' it will be about my favourite old-school games, the games that started my addiction

its also my 20th birthday today incase anyone is intrested

----------------

my latest gfx

hello gamespot

i have been having alot of trouble with my internet recently, sometimes i cant view images or access certain websites, photobucket being the main one. if you are waiting for a request to be completed i will finish it asap but i might need to send it you through e-mail it seems to have cleared up today but its not quite right.

i also changed my banner, header and avy from ff 13 to vs 13. i didnt really like the other theme so i changed it. you will have to click my ''profile'' button to see it properly.

hello gamespoters

i fiished two reviews today for tenchu : wrath of heaven and the bouncer, there not that long so if you get some time i would appreciate it if you read them i will probably have a few more done sometime this week aswell.

here are a few sigs i made over the past couple of days, there is more but i think these three are probably the best. you can rate if you like.

thanks

hello gamespoters

some of you might have noticed i havent been online for about 3 weeks, though it seems alot longer i wont fill you in with the boring details im glad to be back though

in my time of absence i have played through a few games,

total overdose

hitman contracts

tenchu : wrath of heaven

the bouncer

they were all cheap so i picked them up for something to play, the bouncer i have had for about a year just never really played it. it only took about an hour to finish

i seem to say this alot but expect reviews for them soon

i changed my profile just before i got cut off, it needed a change. the banner and header are abit plane but looks ok imo.

i will try and get round to all of your blogs tommorow and if you sent me a pm i will reply but i have 62 to go through so it might take some time

thanks

hello gamespoters

i think i mentioned in a previous blog that i bought resident evil, re zero, re 4 and eternal darkness for my cube, well anyway i have been playing re4 and i think its awesome, why didnt anyone tell me how good it is finished that yesterday and am now doing the mercenary missions you unlock when you finish the game. i will probably have a review up for that next week.

i'v played a couple of hours of RE and it seems like a good remake but the other two havent been in my cube yet, anyone recommend which one to play first ? it will probably be eternal darkness though as im having a resident evil overload

i didnt do a christmas or new year blog but the holiday was quite good. what about all of you crazy cats ?

a couple of sigs here for you all to rate, i must admit im quite pleased with them

hello gamespoters

i have been playing gears of war recently, i still dont own a next gen but have been playing it with a friend, we finished it on casual and hardcore and are now playing through on insane. the game is awesome, you can expect a review soon. he showed my a bit of assassins creed aswell and that looked great but he said its repetative.

i also played the wii for the first time recently, was playing wii sports. it seemed ok, i think it would be good if there was a few of you but i was playing it on my own.

im still playing through ff12 and have been playing for about 50 hours so far and have finished all the side quests up to this point. i wont drop any spoilers but am up to giruvagen ( i dont know how to spell it )

here is some new sigs for you all to rate. i like the last one the best.

hey all

well i randomly got promoted to leader of mystic designs the other day. its only been open a couple of days but its starting to get bigger and i might stay with it for a while. i could use your help so if you are a designer then please come down requesters are also welcome

im still playing through final fantasy 12, not that far but am trying to finish it 100% so im doing all the side quests etc.

not much else to report, just another short blog. hope you all have a good weekend.

and here is my sig. im quite happy with it

i only played for a short time but what i saw was awesome. i still haven't gotten my hands on a next gen console but did play it at a friends, it reminded me of prince of persia but looked so much better.

have made a few new sigs but nothing special as im still just getting back into the swing of things. i will be uploading aload of avys soon so feel free to use them .

also i have two new reviews up, one for abes exoddus and the other for star ocean so if you could give them a read that would be great i will have alot more soon

some new sigs, im still trying to get used to things after my long break, things are starting to come back but i still feel rusty. i have some more in my images so click the images tab if you want to see them. cnc is always welcome. thanks.

yeah its bad right like blace said the other day i need some new ones and i have alot of games to review so expect alot more soon. the review itselfisfor metal gear solid 2, so if you have some time check it out and let me know what you think

other news, i changed my avy and will prob change my banner soon aswell, i need abit of practise after not being able to use a pc for like 4 months so i will be back making sigs and you will prob get asked to comment on them in the near future
