Hey all

Well in the last blog I told you about a trip i went on. We (my sister, parents, brother+wife, and myself) went to this resort called Deerhurst. My bro and his wife flew in from California just to come Anyways, there we did a bunch of outdoors-y stuff like play tennis, soccer, basketball, swimming, etc. The most exciting part was when I went parasailing. It was unbelivable! It was so peacful up in the sky and it was so beautiful all around. Life is so amazing. We should be thankful we have it.

Anyways, we came back from the trip. Now, Ive been waiting for a phone call, or email, from this lady that said she would give me a job. I went to an interview like 2 weeks ago and i told her i couldnt start till i came back so she said she would call me sunday the 6th..and she didnt. Anyways, she called me on the 7th and I started tonight, the 8th. What is this place, you might ask? None other than...

Im sure most of you know what this is, if you dont live in north america..than you probably wont. Anyways, as you could have guessed, its a coffee shop. And holy crap there is a lot to know! You have to know how much coffee beans to grind, when to grind them, HOW to grind, etc. Then you have to learn how to make like 30 drinks. Then Im going to have to learn how to do Espresso. Anyways, its quite overwhelming. Tonight I just did the cash register. Now, this being my first job, I was nervous. But I had a lot of fun, and thought the cash was pretty easy I work tomorrow and Thursday, continuing my training

Besides that, Im in summer school! It started yesterday. Im taking Advanced Functions, a grade 12 math course. It is a prerequisite to this course, Calculus and Vectors. Both of which, I need to get into the university program I want. Its basically 9am-3pm..straight math. I love it! Im a sucker for math. And doing it all day makes the day fly by, its awesome Ill keep you updated.

In gaming related news: I finished GTA IV, and I finished Battlefield Bad Company and now im playing Multiplayer. I have to say, I was quite surprise by Battlefield. I didnt expect much from it, but its REALLY fun. The singleplayer was exciting and quite humorous. And the online, when not lagging, is really enjoyable. I love it I may review it in the future..probably not, but still. If you guys want to play it online, send me a msg, or add me: Perplexed Mind

See you guys on the battlefield.
Have a good day.

Hello all

Welcome to my 100th blog. The largest milestone (In my mind) I have reached during my time here on Gamespot. First let me thank all my friends for your positive comments and your support in all my previous blogs, because without you guys, I probably would have stopped after 1 So heres to you

You guys probably noticed that I do not write blogs often..mostly for the fact that I am too busy. The little time I spend on Gamespot I try to spend commenting on all of your blogs so I leave mine till the end. If I havent commented on yours recently, I apologize. I have been away this past week and only got to comment on the few most recent blogs. I will speak more about my trip the next blog, as this blog is strictly a blog for me to bask in my glory

I have made many friends here. Ive become close with some of you, lost some of you, and got some new friends haha. Either way, those who I am close to, you know who you are. Other friends I am close to, I speak to them through other mediums besides Gamespot. The point is, I made a lot of friends here, and all of you guys are special to me.

There were a few times were I felt like leaving Gamespot. Specifically this past year with all the firings/quitting from the GS staff, but you guys, my friends, made me stay. So I thank you for keeping me here and I thank you for getting me up to this point.

Thank you

Hey everyone. Well as you may know I havent blogged in a while. So I figured I would tell you everything that has changed in this one blog, including reviews of different things. Let me start by reviewing some movies i have seen

MOVIES

IRON MAN

Now Im sure most of you have watched this by now, but I will review it anyways.

This superhero movie is unlike any other superhero movie. Mostly for the fact that it doesnt revolve around action and fighting that the superhero undergoes, rather the start of the superhero and some backstory. The movie mostly focuses on how Stark became Iron man and all the experiments he had to undertake to create his suit. Now this was interesting, but not expected from a superhero movie. That could explain why it received such praise from everyone.

The movie was funny, Robert Downy Jr. was great as a leading man and Gwyenth Paltrow was adorable as the leading lady. Their acting was top notch. The story was good. It showed mans remorse, mans regret, even mans lust for ultimate power. Anyways, the story was simple, there is superhero, bad guy hates superhero, superhero needs to stop bad guy So it wasnt all that innovating. Nontheless it had memorable moments and it certainly was unique among the superhero films.

The only flaws were character development and relationship development. Besides Stark, we dont really know about ANYBODY elses past. Also, you dont really get a feel for what is going on in starks head and how he feels about those around him. The movie was kind of peculiar in that sense. However, the movie was great, and im sure anyone would enjoy it.

8.6/10

The Hulk

The Incredible Hulk! I must ive always liked the Hulk for the simple fact that he is nothing but raw power! Hes jsut a huge green gamma mutated human that is driven by pure emotion. Its beautiful haha

Anyways, i dont rememebr much of the 2003 Hulk, so i cannot compare and contrast. However, this movie was unbelivable. I didnt expect much going in, but I was pleasantly surprised. Edward Norton, one of my favourite actors, did a great job. And its funny to see such a contrast between him and the Hulk, it makes you laugh.

This superhero movie, is different from Iron man. It doesnt focus on how the Hulk came to be, rather it just showed you Bruce Banner's life after being mutated. This movie is a lot more mature than other superhero movies, which was good. It didnt have the wit that Robert Downey Jr brought to Iron man, but it did have its funny moments. It was a more real approach to a man being on the run.

The best part of this movie has to be the action. The Hulk is just bad#$%! No doubt about it. He is unbelivably powerful, and HUGE. The rendering of him was amazing and he look very cool, i must say. Incorporated with the fighting, the explosions and gun play were very well done. Everything was big and loud. Basically the fighting in this movie completely outshines any fighting in Iron Man, they cant even compare really. If you want to see a good action flick, check this one out!

The flaws in this movie...there are not many. Off the top of my head I would have to say the ending. I was dissappointed, it kind of left things open. You dont really know what will happen next, but I guess that will leave you to want a sequel, which I hope will be done. I dont like how they didnt make a sequel to the 03 one. Other flaws...maybe the movie could have used a bit more character development. There certainly were backstories to the other characters in the movie, but still, you would like some more.

Oh also, this movie really showed the corruption of man, which is something I love watching.

9.3/10

MUSIC

Disturbed: Indestructible

Indestructible is the fourth album by the nu/alternative metal band. I only bought their previous album. I didnt really care too much for the singles off their first two albums, but the third album I liked a lot. I reviewed actually a while back. If you remember the only thing I didnt like about that album was the combining of different **** (slow melodic mixed with heavy metal). I just dont think Disturbed can pull it off. Needless to say, that was the same thing I disliked about this album. However, it wasnt as plentiful in this disc.

1. Indestructible

This is the opening track. Its not fast paced and heavy like you would like as a opener. It is more slow. Its a good song, makes you feel good about yourself, in a tough way. Makes you feel like you can beat up anybody "Im indestructible" . But yeah, its slower, which isnt that great, but its a good song nontheless. Nothing unique here.

7.8/10

2. Inside The Fire

The first single from this album. It deals with a girl commiting suicide, and her boyfriend/husband wants to commit suicide aswell to be with her. The song is sung in the perspective of the Devil, tricking the man, telling him to kill himself so the devil can take his soul as well. The song starts off with a techno type beat, that sets up a dark mood, then you are introduced to the heavy guitars and drums. The song has great lyrics and great instruments to boot. This song can make u headbang, which is great It is a very unique song, imo. One of the better titles on this album. You can watch the video on youtube.

9.4/10

This song is pretty cool. He talks to someone saying "youve mastered the art of deceiving me now" Im assuming an ex girlfriend of some sort. Its a heavier song. It starts slow and picks up speed. Its a dark song. It too is also quite unique. Very nice mix of the heavy guitars and the vocalists lovely screams

8.4/10

4. The Night

This song is probably the one that stuck out the most during my first playthrough. What really got my attention was the way the song is sung. Its hard to explain it really. But it really reminded me of an R&B song, they way its sung at least. Thats not a bad thing though The way its sung is very beautiful. Especially the lyrics. They are dark and yet very poetic. This song also has solid instruments backing it.

8.5/10

5. Perfect Insanity

This one starts off with a little drum fill. Very nice beggining, perfect way to set the mood and tempo. This song is fast. It speaks off being insane. The lyrics are very beautiful and quite humorous This song though reminds me of maybe some ****c rock or power metal. When he is singing there is a harmonizing guitar playing behind him, which gives it a nice feel. Of course it contains Disturbeds **** which is of course great Either way, this song is very fun

8.7/10

6. Haunted

Ah, Haunted. The beginning of this song and first verse...blew my mind. It was so beautiful. A perfect example of what metal SHOULD be. The instruments just flow together so nicely. Then, when Draiman comes in as well, his voice is the best on this song. He has a certain kind of growl which really suits the song. This song, imo, is about a breakup. "Youre broken, so am i, im better off alone, no one to turn to and nothing to call my own". This song has beautiful lyrics to boot that really get you pumped. I was ready to declare this song the best from the album..but then i heard the chorus. Once more the band tried to mix ****. The chorus slows down to a slower feel. Which completely killed the song. Along with the bridge, which is just an extremly long monolgue, the song was ruined. The verses are top notch, but the rest of the song just ruin the feel completely. Either way, the verses stay strong and manage to get themselves a good score.

8.6/10

7. Enough

This song too starts with drums. The heavy guitars kick in and set a nice mood. The verse is alright. the lyrics arent great, but the voice is. Once more, the chorus comes in, and gives it a ballad type feel. Which is also kind of dissappointing. But the second verse and the bridge make up for its chorus' short comings. Anyways..in the end, its just an average song.

7.7/10

8. The Curse

Now the album gets back on track with consistent songs. This song is contains some pretty sweet instruments. Lyrics are awesome. The vocals are awesome. And the chorus rocks. Basically, this song kicks $#% through and through.

8.9/10

9. Torn

Right when I thought the album was getting back on track, it steers off again. This song, once again, tries to mix different ****. The chorus once more slows it down to a ballad-y feel. But, the begginning and the verses arent that great to begin with. The lyrics are dull in this song as well. This is easily the worst song on the album.

6.9/10

10. Criminal

BOOYA! Another good song for this album. This song is awesome. One of the better ones. The lyrics are great and the singing really matches the lyrics as well. The verses are awesome, with strong instruments and strong vocals. This song just gets you pumped and is great. The chorus is probably the best part though.

9.0/10

11. Divide

This song is just bad@#$ Its fast from the get-go. It talks about dividing. who cares what, just dividing I guess its based off of anger and violence, which is always great. The lyrics are humorous and dark at the same time. This song is just really cool. Not really meant to be taken seriously, just a song to get your head banging.

8.7/10

12. Facade

Facade, the best song on the album. The guitar riff at the beginning is genius. It seems really simple, but when mixed with the drums, really give a crazy kinda feel. It makes me think of some kind of rodeo. Anything fast paced and crazy The lyrics are amazing with amazing vocals to boot. It speaks about a woman that gets abused by her boyfriend/husband and it says how "your facade cant disguise, the fact that your in misery". Everything is exceptionally done in this song. The emotion is great. The only problem is probably the solo. The solo is sweet, but it couldve been better imo.

9.6/10

Album Score: 8.5/10. The album is really good, Just a few shortcomings that isnt surprising from Disturbed. But it is a solid album.

GAMES

Grand Theft Auto: 4

woot. Its the only game Ive been playing. Im hooked. I love this game. Everything about it is awesome. The gameplay is much improved. The graphics are superb! best ever from a GTA game, duh. This game is just pure fun. Niko is probably the best GTA protagonist. The story is really good thus far. A lot of backstabbing going on, very interesting how the story unravels. Kind of dissappointed with the mission variation.

The only really exciting mission I find was "Three Leaf Clover". I believe thats what it was called. Basically, it was kool. Mind you, I didnt finish the game. Only about 60 percent through and bene playing for like 30-35 hours. Cant wait to finish, it really is awesome.

The Multiplayer is fun as well. I havent played it that much cuz ive been focusing on SP but, it was still great. And I cant wait till i finish the single player so i can jump into the multi. Basically, if you dont have it yet, go get it

LIFE

lol. Well to tell you bout my life now. Two more days of school, then I have exams. I have a "practical" exam for my computer graphics course on monday. But then i have another exam for that course on wedsnday weird. Then i have my Chem exam thursday. Then Math and Gym on Monday and then im FINISHED.WAHOO. lol. Im only really nervous for my chem exam. I really need to do well. I dropped in that course and now im at an 83. I think i might actually drop in all my courses. My math i dropped to an 85.6 and we just had "performance exams" which i know i messedup on. So im kinda worried now

Im also still triyng to get a job. No one has called me back. I applied at a Staples that just openend up near my house and I ran into my old best friends brother. Hes working there, and he told me to put him down as a reference. So im hoping he will get me a job. Im pretty desperate. Besides, that, I have had a hectic couple of weeks. Friend problems and family problems, but things are starting to go back to normal. Im pretty excited for summer ( even though im going to take grade 12 math for four weeks in july lol). How about you guys? any plans?

Anyways, thats about it for my long blog lol. Hope you guys enjoyed it Take care

We'll a couple asked for a new blog! Here it is...however...its just a notification I will have a new blog up shortly HOPEFULLY. Lots of school work and studying ahead of me. So Ill be back soon enuff. Sorry If I havent been commenting on your blogs, I havent been on much and ive been trying to comment on as many as I can.

P.S. I didnt end up downloading Age of Conan Just wouldnt work.

See you guys later

Hello

well it is currently 11:30pm Eastern time and still, my Age of Conan download has not completed. It is currently resting at63.1% comfortably. It is barely moving. So basically, I have missed my opportunity to play this beta that I was lucky enough to be accepted in. Im pretty bumbed but what can i do? I will continue to let the file download, in hope that maybe Gamespot will extend the beta due to a large number of people not being able to download it in time Im probably being too hopefuly. Anyways, school in a few hours, sleep soon.

Have a nice night everyone

Hey

well im updating you on the download. Its been roughly 10 hours since my last blog..when i wrote my lasdt blog it was at roughly 47%. I went to bed, and now im up, 10 hours later and...53.2%. Gosh, my internet must suck a big one, i dont know if ill be able to play this at all actually.

Anyways, I hope Scorpion, you get to play it You said 7 hours before, so maybe you are done already. Also, blue_panda, I signed up for it on GS. I just saw the tab and was like, hm interesting.

Thats about it for now..dont know what to do with my day. Should I rent another game? The only other game I can think of is RSV2. However, I heard its the same thing as the first. I loved the first one, but I dont really want to play it again, any suggestions people? Also, I was thinking about reading Any good books you guys recommend? Im sort of leaning towards a fantasy type tale. I dont want a book thats part of those huge fantasy series of like 10+ books. I jsut want a good, solid book that can stand on its own. Any ideas? Thanks

Have a nice day

Hey

Well Ive officially given up on Dark Sector. Its becoming more of a horror survival game which is not what i signed up for at all. Plus, its kinda challenging Anyways Im not going to play it anymore, Im just going to return it next chance i get. Luckily i rented this title

Next, Age of Conan. Well I started downloading the four parts yesterday, and they werent downlaoding..and i noticed there was the torrent for download as well, and i figured "what the hay". So i started downloading it, and i left my computer on over night. It is currently at 47.7%. Its going very slowly, if it downloads at its fastest rate, it wont be done until tomorrow night...fantastic. Maybe I wont even get the chance to play that sucks..oh well. Ill keep you guys updated.

If I do get to play, apparently im not allowed to talk about the game. That wont keep me from saying if its good or bad, dont worry But yeah, have a good day.

Hey all

Well today I took my G2 driving test. I skipped my first two cl@$$3$..yay! Anyways I passed I did some stupid mistakes but nothing bad enough to fail me. So now I can drive all by myself Wahoo. I have to wait a year until I can get my G liscence at which point i can go on highways and what not: no restrictions.

However, I got an email today from Gamespot telling me i got accepted into the beta of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. Its the MMORPG coming to PC in May. I signed up a while ago just for fun, I didnt really follow the game I was just like, ahh what the hell. Anyways, the beta will run this weekend, so I guess thats what im going to do.

Also, I told you guys I would give you some Dark Sector impressions. I beat the first 3 or 4 levels so far and I beleive there are 10. So, my impressions so far:

SO-SO

The game is so-so. Its not the best game ever, and its not the worst game ever. The glaive is kind of cool to throw around and hurt people with but its not all that great. This game had a lot of potential it seemed like it would be very bad @$$, however, its not, at all.

There is roughly zero story. You know there is this virus and you get infected..and thats it. No other story. No explanation on the enemies you fight, why you are fighting the guys that you are fighting (besides the fact that they are shooting at you) and there is no character development. I dont really care for the main character. Sometimes I get frustrated at the controls that i just want him to die.

Yes, the controls are not all that fantastic. One time, it took me like 2 whole minutes to put my back up against the wall. My kept diving in this direction and that. It can get very frustrating at times and just plain stupid.

The graphics are good, somewhat. The water has that effect that you see in games this gen, but the effect is over done. The water actually looks like a long sheet of leather at times, which is very ugly. Also the characters face is hardly detailed, actually nothing about the character is detailed. I also believe there is some texture popping.

Gameplay is fun however. Its fun to shoot at a guy, throw a grenade, then quickly throw your glaive and chop the leg off another guy. However, this begins to get repettitve at a point. The glaive makes the same noise everytime it leaves your hand, and comes back. It gets repetitve and slightly boring.

Overall score I would give it a 7.7/10. Its similar to Gears of War, but at this day and age, it just doesnt meant the standards. Its still worth a rent I suppose, so if youve been eyeing this game for a while, I say rent it first.

Thats it for today

Hey

Well, I finally finished Bully. I unlocked almost all the achievements: Only missing one, (Perfectionist: Achieve 100% Game Completion). I am currently at 98.04%. I think my game might be glitched. I would probably rate this game an 8.8/10. Pretty fun overall I recommend it to you guys. Anyways, I decided to put the game away.

So, I figured I would need a game to keep me busy until GTA IV came out. So I rented Dark Sector to try it out.

I will let everyone know my impressions in the coming days.

Have any of you played this game? Is it any good?

Yes it is true. People like to break the rules dontt they..hmmm. Anyways I dont care, im not going to tell you 5 more things about me because, i just cant think of anyone.

So, what has everyone been up to? I had a math test today and I think I did pretty good on it. I have a Chem quiz tomorrow and i hope ill do fine.

What games are you guys playing? Are you playing a lot these days??

What? Tagged? Didnt I already read this? Is this Deja vu?

No it isnt. Apparently you can get tagged again..or maybe IpodHero is just breaking these rules. Either way..here come 5 more things.

1. The language I would like to be fluent in most, (after arabic since thats the language my parents speak and i suck at it) is GERMAN! I love that language. I cant explain it! Possibly because I fell in love with Rammstein and through them, i love the language. Either way, I wanna learn!!

2. I am not an expert at ANYTHING! You know how some of your friends are great at one game, and other friends are great at other games..well i fall in neither category. For some reason i can never be EXCEPTIONAL in anything i do. Whether it be games, photoshop, guitar playing, NOTHING! I dont know why. I can work hard and get to the point of being above average but for some reason i can never make the leap to pro. It sucks Im hoping to break this pattern with guitar playing.

3. I cannot replay games. Its weird, but true. I have a lot of trouble playing a game twice. I dont think I have ever completed a game twice. I got half way through Bioshock the second time ( One of my fav games) but I couldnt finish it. I dont know why, I just get so bored and feel like its pointless. Thats why I can never give a good review of replayability, because to me, they all suck!

4. My favourite number is 19. When I think of numbers i think of them as sort of people or objects, not just lines and curves. And these objects react in different ways. I am really weird, I know. However, whenever i see numbers like this, my favourite one is 19.

5. My favourite animal is the lion..cmon, just look at it.

Time to tag a few more of you suckas

Enjoy

well, I havent heard about this until today. But I have been tagged by mastachieff. So, I got to tell you 5 things you dont know about me.

1) I think Oblivion is the best game EVAR!!

2) My favourite guitarist is Daron Malakian (system of a down), thought I love the greats liek Clapton, Hendrix, Knopfler, Slash, etc.

3) Im very insecure and anti social. If you see me in real life im usually the class clown and im always talking however, i am quite anti-social. I dont really enjoy hanging out with friends outside of school-except close friends. Also, Im very insecure about myself. However, some people tell me i come off as arrogant Im a good actor I suppose?

4) I try to be anti-conformist. I might love something, but once everyone else loves it, i hate it Im just like that. Im so anti conformist i actually refused to get an account on Facebook because all of my friends told me to get one. lol facebook is pretty big down here in toronto.

5) I used to have this huge birth mark on my outter right thigh when i was kid. However, I checked my leg a couple months ago, and it was gone:O Thats right!! it disappeared!??! I didnt know birth marks could dissapear? How strange is that?

Secret number 6) Im superman

Sorry if those things were boring, i couldnt really think of anything thats of an interest. Sorry

Anyways, since ive been tagged that means i have to tag a couple of you youngins. lets see:

Hey all

Yesterday I purchased a new amp: A fender G-Dec Junior. Its an Amp that has quite a few effects, and quite a few different guitar types, and a built in tuner. The most impressive thing though, is that it has loops. What does that mean? It has 15 preset bass/drum loops that you can play along too. You can change the bass to play in any key you want, or you can just have the bass not play at all. Its amazing. There is a couple other G-Dec amps that are bigger and have a lot more loops, but they were too complicated and not worth it.

My amp costed me a mere $150, which is great.

Thats about it. Have a nice day

Hey all

Finally level 31. w00t. Im a geezer here on GS huh? haha. Ippon apparently is the highest a person can score in a martial arts match?? I guess thats incorporated into a fighting game of some sort. Meh

Anyways, I got my steam account back from a friend that i lent it to like a year ago. Im back to playing CS 1.6. I missed this game so much, i forgot how awesome it is. It truly is a classic in Online MP. However, while my friend at my account, he changed the usrname. You guys know how to change the username back for my steam account? Anyways, if anyone wants to play, just send me your info and ill send you mine

Have a nice day

Hey

Well guys, this is my impression of Bully: Scolarship Edition!

In the game you played a kid named Jimmy...something. Anyways, it starts off your mom drops you off at this boarding school because she is going on her honeymoon with your new step-father that you hate, oh..and they left you there for a year. What parents huh? Anyways, you act like this tough kid and you are always up for a fight..however, you like to stick up for the nerds too. So its a best of both worlds type of deal.

In the game, you have a clock-like any GTA game. Seconds in real life=minutes in the game. You also have a night/day cycle. Apparently there is a weather cycle as well, but Im not that far yet. So, every day, you have a morning cl@ss at 9:30am-11:30am then an hour break, than you have another cl@ss 12:30pm-3:30pm. You can go to these cl@sses and learn ( i will talk more about this later) or you can just skip cl@ss However, if you skip cl@ss Prefects will come after you. Prefects are basically the police of the school. They come get you if you do anything bad. Anyways, after your second cl@ss you have until 7:00pm till the school closes, and you have until 11:00pm until curfew. If you are in the school after 7:00pm, Prefects will come after you. If you are awake after 11:00pm, Prefects will come after you. Also, if you are not asleep by 2:00am, you will pass out on the spot.

When you are not sleeping, getting busted, passing out, or attending your cl@sses, you can do whatever you want. This can range from: a wide array of missions to progress you up the social ladder, or to dates you can take with some hot chicas , or you can enter races, do jobs for cash, enter boxing matches, play video games, hell you can just goof of and walk around if you want. It is free-roam, just like you can expect from any GTA game. Only difference, is that you HAVE to sleep by 2:00am.

When you enter a cl@ss, you have a minigame. This minigame can be: pressing buttons as they appear on the screen, run around take photographs, play dodgeball, wrestle, disect animals, do MATH , re-arrange letters to form words, find countries on a map, well..there is a lot. These cl@sses are fun, and can help you with other things. For example, if you do well in Chemistry, you can make weapons, such as stink bombs, firecrackers, itch powder, etc. They get tough as you progress, but for the most part they are simple and demand hardly any time from you.

In the school you can do things like break into peoples lockers, stuff people in lockers, give girls presents...and make out with them or bully people and give the wedgies. You can do anything you want, and its pretty fun.

Now, after you progress far enough into the game, the gates to the school open, and you can now free roam to parts of the city. In the city, you can come in contact with adults..and even..POLICE! yeah..and I thought the prefects were bad enough. Anyways, once outside you can do jobs or go shop at stores. Its pretty fun running around the city as a little guy. Seeing the trouble you can get into is pretty awesome

Most of time, I spend fighting Jocks and giving people wedgies, because thats just wicked fun The bottom line is this game is fun! Its like any GTA game, but with more depth, and no guns. So if you enjoyed those games, I say you give Bully a try. If you didn't enjoy those games, you should rent Bully anyways, as Im sure it'll have SOMETHING you like. Really, the only negative thing I can say about this game, is the camera. Its really weird, unlike GTA cameras. For example, you can be running straight, but you want to turn the camera, (while still pushing up on the left stick) so you can change directions, however, you will find yourself still running in the same direction. I don't know, it couldve used work but its not the end of the world. Also, there are a couple bugs in this game that could use sorting out, but I heard Rockstar is on it.

I am roughly 18% through the game, and played for about 6-7hours. This is a fun game which im sure any of you will enjoy. I recommend it to all. However, if you played this on PS2, then you probably wont find anything good from playing it again. Thats all for today.

Rating so far: 8.9/10

Hey all

Well, I got it. I purchased Bully: Scolarship Edition. Im pretty excited, cant wait to start it Ill tell you guys how it is. Thats all for today. Have a good one

Hey

Well, I just finished Condemned: Criminal Origins. I clocked in 6:54:57. Kind of short, but it was good. It was a unique game, thats for sure. However, I guess its not a game for me. For what it was it was very solid. I would give it probably an 8.4/10 or so. But its just not my type of game. I dont think I will be getting Condemned 2:Bloodshot, well at least not this week. I may get it some time.

I really want to buy Bully now though. I can use a fun game that is completely pointless. Unfortunately, we are snowed in and apparently its only going to get worse I dont know how long I will have to wait till I can get it. Oh well, Ill keep you posted.

Hey

Well, you guys know I bought Condemned and Ive been playing it, and its pretty good. Combat shockingly enough, doesnt really get repetitive, even though its the same thing over and over again, its not too bad haha. So I finished chapter 5 so Im like half way through. We are snowed in today, so hopefully I can finish. But heres my question to you guys, what game should I play next?

My original plan was to buy Condemned 2 and play that but now im debating, since I realized Bully came out; I want to play that game too. So guys, after I finish condemned, should I buy the sequel? Or get Bully? Any of you guys play Bully? How is it? Im just afraid that too much condemned could get dull. Any thoughts are welcome.

Anyways, in gaming news:

Prince of Persia movie FINALLY starts shooting this summer (link isnt working for me, sorry, you can see it from front page)
SSBB got a 9.5 from GS
Xbox360 may be getting a Blu Ray Drive and may be releasing a 60gb HDD.

Thoughts?
