  Revisiting the 360

  As you may or may not know, I have not been playing many games lately. The main reason for this being school. As a matter of fact, the only game I've purchased since my last blog are Warhawk, Guitar Gero 3, and Burnout Paradise. Apart from my recent lack of game playing, I've been awaiting Bioshock, Call of Duty World at War, and Resistance 2. These I'll probably not get until Christmas cause I'll be saving for another item.

  Recently I've been watching trailers for Halo 3: Recon and now I think I'm going to purchase a 360. For the people who have been reading my blogs for a long time, will now that I once had a 360. I had purchased it on launch and it RROD on me 2 yrs later. After that I decided to sell my 360 and buy a PS3 last November. Now I think I'm going to buy the 360 out with the 60G hard drive. A major reason I'm planning on this purchase is the fact that the Falcon chips prove to be more efficient and the release of new chipsets like Valhalla and Jasper excite me. My 360 will probably still get RROD eventually, but will have longer lifewith the Falcon or Jasper chipset. On top of that, if my 360 ever RROD on me, I will get it exchanged for a refurbished Valhalla which will supposedly get rid of RROD 100%. I have the money, I'm just deciding whther or not to buy the Falcon now or wait until the Jasper chipset replaces Falcons.

  Well, I have money for the 360, wireless adapter, and Halo 3. However, I still need money for Gears 2, Resistance 2, Call of Duty 5, and Bioshock. Anyway, wish me the best with my 360's life span. Oh, I've also decided to buy all multi platfom games for the PS3. This allows me to balance my use of both consoles. Now I just need to find good games for my Wii.

  That's that for now. Please leave comments! See you next time Gamespot

  School= no gaming

  Hey Gamespot!

  I've been quite busy with school work so I haven't had much time for gaming. I've been playing a bit of MGS4 and COD4 here and there but that's it! Planning on getting Star Wars Forced Unleashed this coming month and that new Ferrari game coming out on the 26th.

  So anyway just wanted to give you guys a quick update. I'll post once I get something or if I get enough time to play somthing.

  See ya!

  Oh by the way I've also created a Giantbomb account which you can check out here (even though there's nothing much to see). Brad Shoemaker, Ryan Davis, and Jeff Gerstmann FTW!

  Just Finished Playing One of The Best Games of All Time...

  And that game is Metal Gear Solid 4. This game is definitely a candidate for GOTY. I'm not being a Sony or MGS fanboy either. When a game has the ability to effect your emotions positively in anyway, then you can consider that game to be a good and memorable one. I've played many games and enjoyed them like Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty 4, and other games like GoW and Halo back when I had a 360. However, the deep story of this game just blew me away. Well... that's all I'm going to say about this game for now. Expect a review soon for this game. Oh, by the way, I finally did all those reviews I promised....atleast I hope I did. Let me know if I'm missing any overdue reviews.

  Before MGS came out, I'd just been playing COD 4. Then, MGS4 came out and I'd been rushing to finish that. The reason I rushed to finish MGS 4 (which I literally just beat a few minutes ago) was because I'm going to be on a trip in California and won't return for 3 weeks. I'm leaving on Wednesday...2 more days to game. I might do a blog or something while I'm on the west coast.

  Anyway, I'll probably just be on Metal Gear Online until I leave on Wednesday. Sorry my blog is so short.

  See Ya Next Time Gamespot
