New FF13 trailer = AWESOME
WOW, if you haven't already, go see the new FF13 trailer:
http://na.square-enix.com/ff13/
This has DEFINITELY gone to being one of my most anticipated games! I'm disappointed that it's not coming until 2010 though, but after seeing that trailer it will definitely be worth the wait! I'm still not sure whether to get it for PS3 or 360 but if it's ends up being the same for both systems then I will probably get it for 360. I can't wait!!!
Also, I recently beat Dead Space and Fable 2. Dead Space is one of the best survival horror games I've ever playe and was definitely one of 2008's biggest surprises (in fact I've actually beaten it twice lol). Fable 2 was really awesome BUT I really REALLY HATED the ending! GRR, those of you who have beaten it will know what I mean, I won't spoil but it feels like the ending could've been so much more!
Oh well, anyways I'm currently playing through Tales of Vesperia still, I'm about 20 hours into it, it's AWESOME. Upcoming games I'm going to be getting for sure are Dawn of War 2 for PC, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon for DS, and Resident Evil 5. I've also really got the urge to buy Zelda: Phantom Hourglass LOL, because I never played it.
Well I guess that's it and go see that trailer if you haven't already!!!
Merry Christmas everyone!
Hey everyone, just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas! AND a happy New Years! :
This Christmas was pretty cool, I got surround sound which sounds AWESOME and I rented Dead Space to play (start out my surround sound with some SURVIVAL HORROR), and it sound AWESOME on it, it's so creepy hearing noises coming from behind. I also got some EB Games gift cards and candy and funny gaming shirts which is cool. I also bought some games because there were crazy sales like Mass Effect ($19, even though I beaten it before borrowing from a friend I now own it to beat again), MGS4 ($29, awesome), and CoD:WaW PC (long story short, me and my brother got 2 copies for the price of 1).
Anyways Merry Christmas and hope you all enjoyed it!
LOL my first blog in 3 months!
LOL well I've been around gamespot but for some reason I just haven't posted a blog lately... I don't know why! So here I am posting a blog. ![]()
So yeah, lately I've been playing alot of different games. Got the new WoW expansion and I'm lvl 75 right now (Dwarf Warrior) and I have a lvl 61 deathknight as well. I also picked up Left 4 Dead (PC) and have been playing alot of that online, I've never played a zombie game with THIS many zombies LOL! I've also been playing Fable 2, I've rescued 2 out of the 3 people so far so I'm pretty far into it, I'm loving it probably more than the first Fable. It seems like there's just a TON of side-quests to do and the achievements are hilarious. I've also recently started Tales of Vesperia and I will tell you that this is DEFINITELY an awesome game, I'm about 5 hours into it right now and even though Tales is one of my favourite series this game is living up to my expectations, can't wait to play more! Oh yeah, and I'm playing Gears 2 online quite a bit. ![]()
Wow such an awesome year for gaming, so many awesome games coming out. I think I'll be playing these 5 for a long time but other games I have my eye on that I want to get soon are Call of Duty 5, Lost Odyssey, Animal Crossing Wii, and Valkyria Chronicles. I also have Fallout 3 and Tales of Symphonia 2 but I haven't opened them yet.
Well anyways, I guess that's what I'm doing gaming-wise right now. I will try to be around blogs and blogging a bit more often now so yeah! Hope everyone's enjoying the crazy-good games that have been coming out.
I ordered some hardcore RPGs from ebay!
So yeah! There are alot of older games that I'd been meaning to play but haven't got around to playing, so I decided to order a bunch of them from Ebay. So here's what I ordered:
Baldur's Gate + expansion
Baldur's Gate 2 + expansion
Fallout
Fallout 2
Fallout Tactics
Planescape: Torment
Diablo (ordered this one a while ago actually, after D3 was announced)
They're gunna be SO good! I'm still deciding which one to play first. They should arrive by the time my exams finish (my last one is in 12 days) so then I will have time off to play these... muahahaha! I'm surprised at how cheap they were though... all 4 Baldur's Gate games were like $40 total, all 3 Fallouts were like $20 total, and Diablo was like $9. Planescape is kind of expensive though because it's rare (the auction is still open actually, I win it in 3 hours
). Can't wait till they arrive, it's gunna be good!
E3 thoughts
Well E3 has come and gone and here are my thougts:
Microsoft:
Microsoft had the best conference I think. They showed off the best games. Fallout 3 looks AWESOME (Oblivion with guns!) so I can't wait to play that one. RE5, we finally got a release date (March 13), and co-op is amazing. Fable 2, I LOVE what they did with the online, where you see people as these orbs and just walk up to them to invite them into your world. Gears of War 2 footage blew my mind and is shaping up to be the best shooter of 2008 and even better than the first one! Then they announced a new xbox interface and avatars, which were both pretty cool. FF13 announcement made me laugh, I couldn't even believe it! Overall, good conference.
Nintendo:
This was the most disappointing one by far. They announced Animal Crossing Wii which will be awesome though, I definitely can't wait for that one! But the rest was disappointing compared to what I was expecting. I wanted a new Zelda trailer to at least know that they were making progress on a new one and see what it will be like, or a Pikmin 3 trailer, or something like that, but... we didn't get any of that, we just got a "yeah, a new Zelda and new Pikmin are coming... sometime in the future..." which sucks without a trailer because "in the future" could mean 2-3 years and means we have no information about the game to get excited about. Wii Sports 2 got announced, but the thing that made Wii Sports 1 so good was that it was free, I don't know if I would pay $60 for another Wii Sports. WiiMusic had DJ RAVI WHO WAS AWESOME but honestly I didn't like it at all, it seemed like there was no goal to it, it's like Guitar Hero without the arrows... just play at your own pace... seemed really REALLY LAME especially considering it was their "big" announcement. Very disappointing outside of Animal Crossing.
Sony:
Sony's press conference was alright. They had some cool videos for some of their games. A bit disappointing that they didn't have more surprises though. But still, the God of War 3 teaser was pretty cool and got me pretty excited for the game! The Resistance 2 boss fight looked freaking epic. LittleBigPlanet looks crazy and unique and I definitely wanna pick that one up. Hmm... I think I'm forgetting something, but still, it was an ok conference overall.
Overall though it was a pretty disappointing E3 because there weren't all the huge announcements like there usually was. But there was some cool new announcements and stuff so overall it was pretty cool but maybe I was expecting too much. Anyways, I enjoyed it. ![]()
