  Why!?

  Ok.. I'm sure I'm not alone here- but today whilst I was working hard at school my mum decided to have a bit of a clean up in my room and ended up throwing out all my old game boy colour and game boy advanced games and consoles.. and she didn't say a word about it- I just went in, and they wern't anywhere to be seen.

  It turned out she'd sent them to the charity shop.. yeah, this includes the original game boy colour, pokemon yellow, red, saphirre and pinball.. as well as a gameboy advanced...she then has a go at me saying 'You never play them!'
  

  
  

  It maybe true.. I haven't touched any of them in about a year, but it's the principal of just assuming that it would be ok to throw them out, I have googled some of the prices and in all it seems she's just discarded about 40 pounds worth of games and consoles.. fantastic.. and that could have bought me a couple of new Xbox games..

  However, they also had some sentimental value to me, it's not like I would've sold them, let alone throw them away... so has this ever happened to you?

  It seems she sarcasitcally said that she'd go back and get them from the store.. however she's just drove of now.. so she might have been being serious.. err.. the pain

  Bloodlines

  So.. Assassins Creed bloodlines, here's my blog on it, it's yet another game which has been scored down due to being on the PSP console, as Star Wars: the force unleashed was also victimised, in my opinion.
  

  First of all- I enjoyed the first Assassins Creed, I gave it a 7.0, but imagine having a portable version of this game with slightly lower graphics- most hardcore gamers would think it's a great idea, that's exactly what Bloodlines is, a pirtable version of the original Assassins creed, with slightly less impressive visuals.
  

  

  The visuals maybe scaled down- but they're still pretty good
  

  All the gameplay is nearly the same- you go to the Assassins bureau, collect your mission and move in, carrying out investegations and assassinations using your smooth stealth skills- you get given throwing knives, a shortsword, fists and a stab knife.

  It's also a direct sequel- Altair continues his quest and you'll find yourself in ****c desert territory, aswell as being taken to a port, the water dosen't look great, but it gives the game some variation of landscape- which the first game missed.

  

  In this part of the game you have to break into the ship and steal a manifesto

  Overall the game is just as good as it's original console version- but improves on it in many ways giving us varied enviroments and a deeper insight into Altair, what makes me further 'lol' is that they gave the original game a 9.0 score... which puzzles me.

  I might later do some blogs on my faviroute weapons of gaming- but for now enjoy this pretty image of Bloodlines

  What's up

  Ok, I haven't really done a normal blog in a while, so here's what's going on in my life at the minute... I'm currently at school for the next 4 weeks, then we split up and have the Christmas break.

  I plan to do a mix of gaming and studying during the Christmas break- since I'm hoping to get Batman Arkham Asylum as well as Dragon Age Origins, however in January I have my 'mock exams' - they're like big tests before the real exams and will probably influence what subjects I'll take next year.

  I have picked up exclusive copies of Jak and Daxter: the lost frontier- and Assassins Creed Bloodlines both on PSP- their official releases are on the 20th November, but I'll do a preview blog after play testing over this weekend.

  

  I have exclusive access to bloodlines- a week early!
