Summer Drought

It's that time of the summer and there are absolutely no games coming out. So, I'm just going to update on my gaming for the past couple months. It's definitely been awhile since I've updated so this might be a long one.

Wii: Finally beat Animal Crossing: City Folk. Took a long time to pay off all the payments on the house, but I did. It was fun, but after awhile I got tired of it. I probably wont play it for awhile. lol. I finally got around to buying Sonic and the Black Knight, and I really regret it. It was terrible. I thought it would be similar to Secret Rings, but it wasn't. The whole sword thing was awful and just the whole story and everything was dumb. It was way to short. I will be selling it as soon as possible. As for the rest of the year it looks like Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles in November and thats about it.

PS3: I beat Resident Evil 5 a couple weeks after I bought it. It was good, but not epic good. I still think Resident Evil 4 was the best. It was was just to short for me. I mean I beat it within 10 - 15 hours. Just seems to short for a game like that. This fall looks like Ratchet and Clank: A Crack In Time will be a definite buy. Then Assassin's Creed 2 is a maybe. The first one was just ok. But the trailer for the second one looks amazing so I might have to buy it....we will see.

XBOX 360: Still haven't played a game on xbox since Banjo - Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts(a great game by the way) and there is absolutely no game I want for it anytime in the future. I would like to see a sequel to Lost Odyssey or something but I dont know. Also I dont thinkwe will ever see The Last Remnant out on the PS3, so one of these days I might end up just getting it for the 360. Thats about it for that

DS: I played through Final Fantasy V and VI advance and both of them were amazing. Really good games, especially VI. But the next game for the actual DS is Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days. Plus The Legend Of Zelda: Spirit Tracks might come out before the end of the year.

PSP: PSP has been slow this year, but I recently bought Patapon because I heard it was really good and it was on clearance for $7. lol. its pretty good so far. Then the greatest game of the year comes out next for the PSP. Dissidia: Final Fantasy. August 25th!!! It sucks that its the second day of school for me, but I dont care. ive been waiting for this game forever and it looks so good.

January, February, and March

Its been awhile since I've updated, so here is what I've been up to.

Wii: I'm still playing through Animal Crossing. I play it for about a half an hour everyday. I just started paying off the final installment on my house. Once I get that paid off I doubt I play much after that. Sonic and the Black Knight just came out, but Im gonna wait and get that later. Resident Evil 5 comes out tomorrow and i would rather play that game first then get Sonic. After Sonic it looks like Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles will be out next around the end of this year...hopefully.

PS3: I haven't played a PS3 game since Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe, but I did play through Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories recently. It was ok, but not as good as the two previous Kingdom Hearts. Resident Evil 5 comes out tomorrow and I cant wait! After I play through that there really isnt anything with an exact release date coming out. i'm hoping God Of War III comes out at the end of the year. Then Final Fantasy XIII sometime in early 2010!!!!!!

Xbox 360: I haven't played a Xbox 360 game since Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, and it looks like there is absolutely nothing coming out this year that I want. I'm not a huge fan of FPS so looks like there isnt really much to choose from besides that. haha. There are some rumored games like Blue Dragon 2 or hopefully some other RPG's that I would want. Unfortunately there is nothing with a current release date that I want.

DS: The DS always has good games! I played through Chrono Trigger and I loved it. It was definitely one of my favorite RPG's ever. Then I just recently picked up Blue Dragon Plus a few weeks ago, and i beat it two days ago. It reminded me of Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings...just not as good. It looks like the next game is Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 days (that is the weirdest title for a game). it looks like its coming out sometime in the summer so i will be picking that up next.

PSP: I finally played some new PSP games. Since beating Secret Agent Clank back in August I got Final Fantasy I and II for my birthday. I beat both of them a couple of weeks ago. Both of them were really good but II was better. The next game is going to be the best game of the year...i just know it. Dissidia: Final Fantasy will hopefully be out sometime in the early summer (hopefully in June!!). i cant wait for it. it looks so amazing and I love everything Final Fantasy so I know I will love this game.

This year looks a little dissapointing. There are very few games coming out. Right now there is Sonic and the Black Knight and Resident Evil 5. Then there isnt anything until the summer when Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days and Dissidia: Final Fantasy come out. Then thats it. Unless God Of War III and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles gets released then it looks like its going to be a slow year for me. But its no real big deal for me. Im still working on beating every Final Fantasy game. I still need to beat VIII, VI, and V. Plus it would be fun to play through some of them before Dissidia comes out. Plus there are a lot of games I would love to play over again. In August I'm going to college so I'm going to be really busy so maybe its a good thing no major games are coming out this fall.

A New Year!

2008 was a great year. Tons of games to play, and most of them turned out to be really good. While others were just ok. First off I want to mention some of the best games I played this year.

Game of the Year: Lost Odyssey Runner-up: Super Smash Bros. Brawl. (This was a really hard decision to make. Both of these games were really good, but overall I had a better experience playing Lost Odyssey. Even though I put more time into Smash Bros, most of that time was spent destroying sandbag in order to get all the stickers. Lost odyssey was an amazing RPG. The music was so good I ended up buying the soundtrack and thats all I've been listening too. If you haven't played Lost Odyssey...you NEED to!)

Best DS Game: Final Fantasy IV Runne-up: Kirby:Super Star Ultra

Best PSP Game: Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Runner-up: God Of War:Chains of Olympus

Best XBOX 360 Game: Lost Odyssey Runner-up: Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts

Best Wii Game: Super Smash Bros. Brawl Runner-up: Mario Kart Wii

Best PS3 Game: Soul Calibur IV Runner-up: Devil May Cry 4

Here's my Wishlist for 2009

1. Dissidia: Final Fantasy(PSP) This is by far my most wanted game of 2009. I cant wait for it to come out. It probably wont be until June, but Im hoping for an earlier release.

2. Resident Evil 5(PS3) My second most wanted game. I've been waiting 4 years since the release of Resident Evil 4. This game looks like it will live up to the success of Resident Evil 4. I cant wait.

Hahaha thats all I can name for now. Nothing else looks good right now. Im sure later in the year more games will be announced and released. And heres to hoping the release of Final Fantasy XIII comes out in 2009!!!!...but probably not. lol

Also heres an update on my gaming:

Wii: Well i finally started playing the Wii again. I beat Sonic: Unleashed last week. It was ok, but not as good as the other sonic games. I bought Animal Crossing:City Folk yesterday. Its fun to go back and play that game. But you can only play it in short intervals. It gets boring after an hour or so of gameplay. After I play Animal Crossing for awhile, there really isnt anything scheduled that looks worth playing. So here's hoping Nintendo suprises us with some good games.

PS3: I got Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe a month ago. It was pretty good. Not as good as Deadly Alliance or Deception, but a solid entry in the Mortal Kombat franchise. The next game is Kingdom hearts: Chain of memories. I never played it on Gameboy Advance, so I want to play it on the PS2. After that its Resident Evil 5 in March.

PSP: Again I haven't played this since I beat Secret Agent Clank. But i want to play Final Fantasy I and II remakes on PSP. I want to play all the final fantasy games, and these versions seemed the best to play. Then its DISSIDIA: FINAL FANTASY! i cant wait for this game. From right now, Dissidia looks like the best game of the year. and something amazing needs to come out in order to beat it...like Final Fantasy XIII!

DS: I started playing the DS again with the release of Chrono Trigger. I'm only 3 hours into it, and its decent. It will obviously take longer to make a final decision on how good it is. Then Blue Dragon Plus comes out in late february.

XBOX 360: I beat Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts and it really blew me away. I was hesitant about it because of the vehicle gameplay, but it was really good. it was just as good as the original two. There really isnt anything else coming out for 2009 so thats pretty sad.

Fall 2008

So here I go again. This is what I've been playing and doing since my last post.

Wii: Again, i have't really touched the Wii since I beat Mario Kart back in May. I actually played Animal Crossing on Gamecube a month ago and fell in love with the game again. So now I want to pick up Animal Crossing: City Folk in November. Also Sonic Unleashed comes out on the same day. Even though this game comes out on all 3 systems, Im gonna buy it on Nintendo's system. I will always support them first, sony second, and Microsoft last. but thats about all for the rest of the year for the Wii.

PS3: I beat Soul Calibur IV around the end of August. It was really good. it tied with Soul Calibur II for the best Soul Calibur game. But it was way to frustrating to be a masterpiece. It kinda ties with Heavenly Sword as the best PS3 game so far. Mortal Kombat Vs. DC universe comes out November 16th, so I will be picking that up next. This game looks like another solid entry in the Mortal Kombat series. I cant wait!

Xbox 360: I played through Infinite Undiscovery. It was ok, but it was short, had terrible voice acting and overall it was a mediocre experience of a game. Banjo-Kazooie: Nus and Bolts is the next game I want. it comes out November 11th. I cant wait for this game. I loved the first two games, and if this is anything like the first two then I will be happy!

DS: I've been playing a lot of the DS lately. I beat Final Fantasy IV in september. It was a great game. Its not my favorite final fantasy game, but I still loved it. I got Kirby Superstar Ultra a month ago. It was fun playing through the games again, and playing through the new modes. Today I just beat Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. It was cool, and a great RPG. But i feel a little dissapointed because i know it could've been so much better, almost epic. There arent any games for the DS for the rest of the year. There is Blue Dragon Plus coming out in March, and hopefully Kingdom hearts 358/2 days comes out in the spring as well.

PSP: The psp hasn't been touched since August, and it wont be used for the rest of the year either. But there are some really good games coming out next year. Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep looks good, and of course Dissidia: Final Fantasy looks amazing. That is definitely one of my most wanted games (besides FF XIII). i just know that will be the best handheld game ever made.

Update on Things

So, I've had a lot of free time this summer and I think its about i update on things.

Wii: I dont know what happened, but the Wii has absolutely nothing good coming out. I havent touched it since I beat Mario Kart about 3 months ago. There arent any good games coming out either. Sonic: Unleashed, and Sonic and the Dark Knight look pretty good, but thats about it for the Wii through most of 2009 and thats pretty sad.

PS3: I beat Devil May Cry 4 around the end of June. Its was a good game, but it was really frustrating at times, and it was pretty short. Now I am playing Soul Calibur 4. Its really good, but this game is also really frustrating. Trying to get all the Honors is quite a challenge. But im getting closer to getting them all. I have about 8 left. There arent really any games coming out for the PS3 until November, i think. Mortal Kombat vs. DC universe comes out Nov. 10th i think. so i have plenty of time to beat Soul Calibur 4.

Xbox 360: I beat Lost Odyssey around mid-June. It was amazing. Its the best game on the 360. It had an amazing story, characters, music, and so much more. It was like playing a Final Fantasy game. I absolutely loved it. After beating that I really havent played the Xbox. Infinte Undiscovery comes out in about 3 weeks and I will definitely be picking that up.

Speaking of Final Fantasy games. I finally played through Final Fantasy IX this summer. And like every other Final Fantasy game it was really good. There isnt really anything bad about it. I just wish I had more time to play through it again.

DS: I was kind of hesitant to pick up Final Fantasy IV, because I bought Final Fantasy III for the DS and it bored me to death. But i bought FFIV and its really good. It actually has a story, character development, and nice music. I would say im about 1/3 through the game. Kirby Super Star Ultra comes out at the end of September, so i should have it beat by then.

PSP: I did decide to pick up Secret Agent Clank and it was pretty good. Almost as good as the Ratchet and Clank games on the PS2. It was nice playing with the same characters, but with new different kind of gameplay. There are some PSP games I want but they dont come out until next year. Hopefully Dissidia: Final Fantasy comes out first, since it comes out in December in Japan. That would be nice to see a March or April release!!
