I updated my collected game list with games that I actually own. A lot of the ones I had on there before I did own, but some were there just for a specific emblem.

I decided to start fresh with just my Xbox 360 games. Later I will add my DS and PSP games. I don't really want to venture into the last generation of platforms because the list will look like it did before. I'd rather have a nice and clean looking list of games rather than a cluster of games that takes forever to search through and 3/4 of them are horrible. In my mind, the change was needed.

I will also be updating my ratings list soon as well. I gave nearly every game I wanted a 1.0 just for the Way Harsh emblem. It looked pretty. I had to have it. Now though, I really don't mind. So with some time I will begin to take those away and start fresh with what I really think about games. Most of those I reviewed deserve much better. Don't ask me how Lost Odysssey got there with a 9.5. Mind you, it will be edited and taken down a few notches.

Thank you for reading and I hope to see you all on the boards.

Last week around this time I was going crazy becuase I knew that Modern Warfare 2 was only hours away. Today, just a week later, I'm going crazy because Left 4 Dead 2 and Assassins Creed 2 are also just hours away. I'll be heading to the midnight release tonight around 10:30 to wait in line.

Now I am unsure if you all know or not but Assassins Creed (despite reviews) has been my favorite game on the Xbox 360. That alone should explain how excited I am for Assassins Creed 2. I'm very anxious to pick up the story with Ezio and embark on my assassination journey.

Left 4 Dead 2 has got me almost equally excited due to the magnificent multiplayer. I look forward to playing with my friends online dodging jockeys, avoiding acid from the spitters, and blasting down chargers. Feel free to join me if you are picking up the game tonight as well.

That is all for now, have fun tonight if you are also picking up these two great games. Be safe, have fun, and kick some decaying zombie ass!

After spending a few days with it, the first two sleepless, I can officially say that I love the game. A lot. One might ask, is Modern Warfare 2 better than the first? To put it simply, Yes. I do find myself getting more attracted to this game more so than I did the first one.


Sadly, the story seems to be only a little bit longer than the first. However, with all of the first person shooters that I play (you too Gamespot with your crappy 9.0) it is almost expected. The story is great and has a few moments when you just want to question whether or not you should have done that or not. No spoilers though. It should be experienced first hand.

Multiplayer is obviously some of the best out there. I have a lot of fun with the online. They took the first games multiplayer and amped it up. New killstreaks, new customization options...new everything. All the challenges have been modified from the first game and honestly, it is for the better. A lot more work goes into it and I can't be more happy. Gives me something extra to do without fear of running out of tasks.

All in all this game could possibly be best game of the year. I'll tell you whether it is or not come next Friday once I've had my chance to play Left 4 Dead 2 and Assassins Creed 2.

Thank you Infinity Ward for the great game, and thank you all for reading.

I don't know if you know this or not...but there are a lot of games coming out in these next few months. Enough to make my head explode, in fact. I have Gamefly, and I choose to get games that way mostly, but in rare cases, I'll buy a game. It usually has to kick some serious ass for me to buy it though.

Games coming out in the next few days, weeks, or months I will buy:

Modern Warefare 2 (Already pre-ordered and will be getting the NV goggles.)

Assassins Creed 2

Halo 3: ODST (Few more days!)

Guitar Hero: Van Halen (Most likely getting it for free)

Left 4 Dead 2

Wet (actually on my gamefly, purchase is most likely going to happen)

Forza Motorsport 3

Army of Two: 40th Day

Splinter Cell: Conviction

Battlefield Bad Company 2 (pretty far away, but still...it will sneak up on us)

Dj Hero ( ready to hit up some DJAM tunes. R.I.P. )

Band Hero

Final Fantasy XIII ( once again, far away, but still pretty close )

Saw (in the battle of being ordered from Gamefly or actually purchasing)

And that's pretty much it for now...I'm sure I left something out, but I can't even try to think about it right now. It's too late, and I just felt like informing you guys on what I'll most likely be picking up soon. Not only are these games getting purchased, I also have a ton of games coming to me that are already on Gamefly. So...I'm pretty much booked. Me and my achievement whore buddies will be playing some...stranger games in the coming weeks. Be following my Gamertag to see what we pop in. Disney week is coming up (just something going around on my friends list) and don't be surprised if you see me playing Hannah Montana. Not joking, but I wish I was. I made a promise I'm going to play it and by god I will, lol. My sanity will most likely slip away afterwards though...what little I have left.

One more quick note, I hope to have a web show up on Justin TV in about a month. However, I need someone that knows how to get something like that set up to help me. The price isn't too much of a problem, I just need some pretty good quality. So any help with something like this is greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone, it has been quite some time, no? Yes yes...I suppose I should explain why I've returned first. There isn't really a better way to put it aside from...I missed the hell out of blogging and talking with the people here. That about sums it up! I hope to continue to blog and perhaps post in the forums when I'm not busy elsewhere.

I've actually been quite tempted to come back before now but I just find it extremely hard to do so now. Since my last blog two months ago, not that much has changed. I'm still planning to enter the Major League Gaming world sometime soon, though we're two people down now due to team changes I decided to make. It's just Phobia (Brawl55 here on Gamespot), and myself now. Perhaps I can soon find some people that share our same desire to join us.

On the terms of Halo 3, I'd also like to throw this idea out there. I've been wanting to host a day to play with friends near and far for a solid day, without stopping, (bathroom breaks, food breaks, and any other beverage breaks are permitted.), in Matchmaking, or Custom Games. Phobia and myself would be happy to take some of you on 2 v 2 at any given point during this time. Hell, if you beat us then we could learn a lot from our losses. But point being, I'd just like to invite all my Gamespot friends to come and play with us on Labor Day. September 7th for those of you that forgot too. It would be nice to get together with some of you and test our skills and even combine them in some matchmaking. So, if you're interested then just send me a friend request on the 7th of the coming month and I'll be happy to play with you. I hope a lot of you will join us, and I hope those of you that do join bring your A-game!

This is where I leave you. Comment me if you think you'll join in on my Halo Day, and I hope to hear from a lot of you soon!
