Goodbye Gamespot

As most of you can probably guess, I'm moving on over to GiantBomb!
My profile there is Blitzer.

It's been a fun 4 years, but the time has come to move on. As far as I'm concerned, everything went downhill when Rich left. Jeff leaving is what really did it for me though. I haven't blogged since then and only visited to read a few blogs, game reviews and for the E3 coverage.(Which was awesome, great job guys!)

I feel bad for the talented editors and staff that are left. Namely Ryan, Aaron, Brian, Homer, Bethany and the few others I can't think of at the moment. I wish them the best and thank them as well.

See ya.

Trick or Treat?

So, as usual my one day off a week involves me going game shopping. GH3 sitting here all lonesome for the past few days drove one purchase. My love of a series the other.

Halloween purchases!

Yep, so I just kept my hard drive from my broken 360. I'm all set now, minux a silvery CD tray, aww well. GH3 rocks by the way. Anyone wanna play? Haven't cracked open Drac X yet, as I'm waiting for a certain someone.


I'm sure you all know tomorrow is Halloween. So I decided to do a pumpkin this year. Usually just my sister carves one. But we had three this year, so yea.

Mine, then all three.

My pumpkin!

All the pumpkins!

Happy Halloween!

Sniff...sniff...

oh noes!

I knew it was coming. It had been acting up lately. The GH3 demo was freezing like mad, I hoped it was just that demo/disc.Just got home with GH3 too, oh well time to deal with Microsoft customer service. Wish me luck.

Big Name Reviews

Believe them or not?

So we've all seen Ratchet and Clank's 7.5. I've played the demo, it was ok, but I've never been a huge platformer fan. Will I buy the game? No, probably not. But I just want to help try to silence the people complaining about GS's review. Seriously why it bothers people so much, I'll never know. If you like the game, good for you, who cares what other people think. But the average score is a 9! So, just because the average of reviewer thinks it's great doesn't mean you shouldn't form your own opinion. If every reviewer told you jumping off a bridge was fun, would you give it a try? My point being every reviewer is different, they are people just like us. Not everyone is the same.

Back on track. This year (or end of the year really) seems to be on track for the worst case of this ever. Take Bioshock, Game of the Year for people when it came out. 9.0! OMG!
Now, no one talks about it. Certain people even said maybe it was a bit overhyped. Play it once and never again. I said that from the start. I tried the demo, it seemed like another FPS with a good story. So I rented it, finished it and will never play it again.

I just hope no other games fall prey this year. It was bad enough with Twilight Princess last year. I almost wish GS would take away scores. Just have a text review. State what you liked, what you didn't and that's it. I know, I know, that will never happen.

So, any takers on what the next game will be?

Couldn't help myself. Slimmer PSP + Star Wars?

PSP1

Oh so sexy!

PSP3

Vader

PSP2

You don't mess with Vader!

Had to get a new case to carry it all around in right?

So yea. I'm loving it. My old PSP is going to a good cause as well. Let the Gamefest begin!

PS. Also picked up FFT The War of the Lions. Awesome.

PSS. Renegade Squadron impressions eventually.
