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!!
Summer!!
So it is finally summer, and I have tons of time to beat more and more games.
Wii: I beat Super Smash Bros. Brawl around the end of April. I collected every trophy, sticker, stage, character, cd...i got it all. It took 150 hours, but it was worth it. That game is a perfect 10!! Then I bought Mario Kart Wii. It only took me about 2 weeks to beat that. It was ok. it was just like the other mario karts, but using the Wii wheel was nice. I just think the game relied to much on the Wii wheel and thats what kept it from being even better. Now there isnt really a Wii game until Sonic: Unleashed comes out in November. So i probably wont be using the Wii unless i want to play Super Smash Bros. again.
PS3: It took me awhile but i finally got back to playing Devil May Cry 4. Im on mission 9. The game has great graphics and stuff, but it can be really hard sometimes. its gonna take me awhile to beat it. Soul Calibur 4 comes out in July so I should have it beat by then.
XBOX 360: With Smash Bros beaten I finally went back to Lost Odyssey. Its such a good game. Im on the third disc. It has beautiful music, great story and characters. Im somewhat close to beating it. The next XBOX 360 game i want is Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, so I should have plenty of time to beat it.
DS: I beat Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings last week. It was so good. I've never played a game like that before but im glad i did. Now there isnt really anything to play on the DS until Sonic Chronicles comes out in November.
PSP: Finally the PSP got better. God of War was really good. Story graphics and gameplay were all good. But the game was extremely short. I beat it in 5 and a half hours. So overall the game was just ok. The ending came to soon. I beat Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII about two weeks ago. Its the best PSP game, and even the best handheld game I've ever played. I loved Final Fantasy VII and this game was similar. It was like playing a miniature version of Final Fantasy VII. June 17th Secret Agent Clank comes out so I guess that is another game I want to play. Im still hesitant about it. Its been getting ok reviews. I might buy it.
The rest of the summer: So i have 2 games left (Lost Odyssey and Devil May Cry 4). and there are only two games I want that come out between now and the fall (Soul Calibur 4 and Secret Agent Clank...maybe). So For the rest of the summer Im going to play through Final Fantasy IX. Its one of the only recent Final Fantasy's that I havent played. And i might replay some of my other favorite games. There are a lot of those so i will definitely stay busy.
The 411
Here's the 411 on my gaming
Wii: I beat Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles last week. It was challenging, but fun. I'm glad I got to play it. Sunday I bought Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Since then I've easily put in 15+ hours into the game. It has blown me away. I love everything about it. There is so much to do, and to unlock, I will be playing this game for months, maybe years...
PS3: I finally gave in and started playing Assassin's Creed. After I got back to playing it again, it became more fun. After beating it, i was fairly satisfied with it. There were some frustrating moments like when it froze frequently, but it was a decent game, nothing to great. I bough Devil May Cry 4, and i started to play it and then Super Smash Bros. Brawl came out so I havent touched it since.
XBOX 360: I played about 5 or 6 hours of Lost Odyssey. Its got a great story and musical score. The graphics are nice too. But again, ever since Super Smash Bros. Brawl came out, I havent touched it since.
DS: I beat The Legend Of Zelda: Phanton Hourglass. It was the first portable Zelda game i played through and I really liked it. Then I went through Pokemon Pearl finally. It felt so good to play through a Pokemon game again. I miss the good old days when i played it non stop. So it was a good to play a good RPG like Pokemon again. A month ago i bought Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, and its really cool. I liked all the characters from the FFXII universe so its cool. But i havent got to play that much either recently.
PSP: I bough God Of War: Chains Of Olympus last week. Its amazing. Amazing graphics and gameplay. Its like your literally playing the PS2 version on the PSP. TO bad Super Smash Bros. Brawl came out, because i havent really played that either. Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core in 2 weeks!!!!!! Cant Wait!!!
Games
So here i am updating my progress with my games.
Wii: I beat the Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess last week. Amazing game. Not as good as Ocarina of Time, but still good. The best Wii game so far. So today i bought Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. I wasnt planning on buying this game, but since Super Smash Bros Brawl got delayed again, Im gonna play this game until it comes out in March.
PS3: Again i really havent touched it for months. I have Assassins Creed, but i really dont have any interest in playing that game, so im just gonna let it sit there. Devil May Cry 4 comes out in about 2 weeks so I will start playing the PS3 a lot when that comes out.
XBOX 360: I havent really got to play this much either. I got the ring of death on my console so i had to send it in. A month later I got it back, and i beat Perfect Dark Zero. It was o.k. It was to short. And it was nothing like the original game. Now im waiting for Lost Odyssey, which comes out in about 3 weeks. Looks really good!
DS: im still working on The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Im close to the end. After that im gonna finish Pokemon Pearl, then I will buy Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings.
PSP: i havent used the PSP in almost 8 months. Thankfully in March things will turn around. God Of War: Chains of Olympus, and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII will come out. Both of those games look amazing. Cant wait!!!
Stuff
Everytime I post a new blog, I never really have anything to say besides the progress I've made inthe games im playing...so thats what Imgoing todo now.
Wii: I got all 120 stars in Super Mario Galaxy last week. That game was really good. It definitely ties for being one of the best Mario games ever. I was shocked at how fast I beat it. It only took a little less than a month. But i played it for about 30 hours. Thats the perfect length for a game. Now I'm playing The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess (finally!) it took me about a year, but now im finally going back to play it. I hope to have that beat by the time Super Smash bros. Brawl comes out on Febraury 10th (2 days after my birthday!)
PS3: I havent even tried playing Assassins Creed for the past couple weeks. I didnt get very far in it, but I was just really dissapointed in it. Its just not my type of game. If I absolutely have no games to play, I'll play it. But i doubt that happens. I wont have any free time to beat it by then, plus Devil May Cry 4 comes out so, im definitely going to play that instead.
XBOX360: I beat Sonic the Hedgehog a couple of weeks ago. it was ok, but not as bad as Gamespot said it was. Now im finally playing Perfect Dark Zero. its ok, but its hard to get into the game. Its just not as good as the original game. But im slowly making some progress in the game. I also hope to have this beat by the time Lost Odyssey comes out in February.
DS: I havent really put any time into playing the DS. I still have The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, and a couple off other games I want to beat.
PSP: Dont even get me started on the PSP. its basically the worst system i have. I've had that system for 2 and 1/2 years and all i have is 4 games. And none of them were even that good. Hopefully God of War: Chains Of Olympus is good, and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII will come out in '08, so i wont be so dissapointed with the fact that I bought a PSP.
