It's kind of an open secret that I never did have a single XBL or PSN ID for my unified online persona on their online communities. The reasons for this are multiple fold: I did not feel like I would ever need a single account. Playing Xbox games across a number of machines (my brother's, my friend's, my roommate's, and finally my own), I made multiple Gamertags, and was least concerned with building ONE online persona where my friends, achievements, and games would be tracked; I honestly didn't care. Also, I felt, a bit like Nintendo (the company I happen to be so devoted to ) that it wasn't needed That it was a fad which would die out soon.

On the PS3 side, I never owned a PS3. My brother did. My PS3 game playing was all done on his profile, and again, I never bothered to make myself a PSN ID because I couldn't be bothered to make one.

Well, it's about time that changed.

I decided recently to have one unified account on both systems. On Xbox, I would continue with the account that was native to my own machine, and on PSN, I would make a new one with the same name. This means losing all the achievements I earned across multiple profiles on XBL, and it means starting from zero on PSN, but since none of this ever mattered to me, I am okay with it.

So, I'm going to have an XBL and PSN to share with everyone from now on, and it will be the same as my Steam ID: Pramath1605. If you have any of these systems, be sure to add me!

Speaking of starting over, I got my grubby paws on Uncharted 3, and I'm incredibly excited to play it. Uncharted 2 was one of my favorite games of 2009, so that I should like Uncharted 3 seems like a no brainer. I'm currently undergoing an Uncharted marathon, having just finished Uncharted: Drake's Fortune last night. I started Among Thieves then too, and I'm currently still on Chapter 2. I hope to finish it soon, because I'm getting impatient about starting Uncharted 3 now.

On the Xbox side of things, I'm finally going to play Halo: Reach, I think. Halo died for me with 3 and ODST, but people keep telling me to play Reach, so... well, it can't hurt, can it? My Xbox remains my multiplat machine though, with the PS3 being retained for the exclusives.

Finally, on PC, I'm playing SimCity 3000 and Portal, while I'm still playing kid Icarus: Uprising and Mario Kart 7 on the 3DS.

Hope you're all having a good summer!
