Fear

Today, I went to Ebgames and I bought the game entitled F.E.A.R which is a horror type shooter game with amazing graphics. The amount of gore and intersity in this game is so great, you just want to keep playing over and over. I started the game on medium diffculity and even tohugh the game is challenging; I still love it.

The game is different in ways, you walk through the game and while your playing random paranormal things happen to you, which ties into a story, while trying to kill machine gun guards. You can also press certain keys and do bicycle kicks and such. This gives a edge to the game, while blasting them to pieces with your machine gun. In this game, you have to use cover or you will die easy. I always look down and notice im low on health, due to the realism this game beholds.

I recommend this game to anyone, because its such a great game, its also 30 dollars at ebgames and such, so here is your chance people!!!!

Its been a long time....

Wow, Its a been awhile since I wrote on this journal and I'm glad to be back.

Well, I am currently still playing World of Warcraft, and I played it so much that it has possessed my mind and making me shoot people....j/k Well, I got to lvl 60 on my hunter (highest lvl to obtain) and I am just simply tired of it, and here is why....

In reality there is absolutely no point to the game, and it doesnt get you anywhere from life. The whole idea of the game is not gameplay its, time. You must spend a large amount of time just to get anywhere in the game. It takes 1/3 of your time to get to one place to another, because the maps are so huge. I would like to have a life, and this game called World of Warcraft is distracting me from the real life and all these other good games that have came out. I went to Eb games the other day, and I didn't want a game at all, because I just wanted to play World of Warcraft and that only.

Another reason, would be that Blizzard does a patheic job of caring for their customer, there is currently 5 million playing the game, and they cant even pay a little money to give some bandwidth on the patch downloader, its takes decades just to download a stupid patch and its frustrating. I cant do crap have the time in the game because of lag, because Blizzard doesnt have the respect to fix the servers have the time. When the server screws up, they blame it on the people, and cover up their own misforturens. I pay 15 dollars a month, and it is patheic that Blizzard cant fix their game.

I have decided to quit this game , and ya it was fun for awhile, but its just pointless after awhile, and I want to move on to other games. Advice: If you have a life, this game is not for you, and it will get boring after awhile, and the game is based on time, and time only.

World of Warcraft is done for me, and its good to be back on writing in my journal on Gamespot.

World of Warcraft

Well, I got my paycheck from my lovely work, I went to Ebgames and pick me up a copy of World of Warcraft. This game simply amazing, as extremely addicting, and a another wonderful success from blizzard. (I played all the Diablo 's for many hours) and I would say this is as addicted if not more.

The graphics are good, my pc has some problems loading some parts in the game, but I am building myself a new computer, so that will quickly fix that. Blizzard art team once again did a good job designing everything, the game looks excelllent... They also implemented a gamemaster into the game, is if you have a problem in the middle of the game, the gamemaster can fix, or pull you out of spots, if your stuck; i thought this was quick impressive.

As for me, I use dial up and it runs really good, even better than i thought. Sometimes I get some lag, but that is normal. The only problem I have is when downloading the patches, the patches are sometimes big, but there are usually some 20 mb patches here and there it takes so damn long to download them. They even download slower to the fact that Blizzard but a peer to peer server to download the patches from, and you dont even download have the time. You have to wait until somebody can give 20 kb here and there. I think this is really stupid, and frustrating and blizzard

Other than that, this game keep me busy for a long time, and it is well worth 50 dollars, and 15 month. (I work at burger king, so it isnt a problem.) Good job Blizzard, a great success.

I got tired of my Ps2 already...

Well, I traded in my Ps2 and all the games, and I got some other stuff. I just dont really like Ps2, because of the games and the crappy graphics.

I will stick with my xbox; it far more superior....

Anyways, I got Mercenaries for the xbox, and it is a excellent game.. It has tons of replay value and its kind like Grand Theft Auto but more military orientated. You track people to kill and you get money for it, and you use that money to give you vehicles, call in air strikes and such... awesome game.

I picked up Second Sight, cheap for 7 dollars. This is a good game so far, and I knew already this is a game only good one time through, but it was a good buy, due to the price.

I picked up Medal of Honor Pacific Assault. This is the best in the series and has amazing graphics and lighting, very fun and much more challenging then the other games.

Finally, I picked up Pacific Fighters, which is a awesome fight flight sim... Its perfect to what i like of airplanes.

Anyways, good games, I bought and Im happy and busy.

Wow, its been a while.

I got myself a Ps2, from a friend, I bought it for 40 dollars, which was a great deal. I really hate ps2 but I want to get all the DDr games, and all the other games that arent on xbox...

so ya...

I got Twisted Metal Black, which is a old game and its fun. I am a fan of the Twisted metal; I used to play the older ones of Ps1, back in the day. I also got Gran Trismo 3 which is ok, but Im not really into the simulators.

For Pc, I got the Rise Nations, Gold Edition, which is a good game, and I got it cheap at gamestop for 20 bucks. Thats pretty much it for me.

I am still owning at DDR getting better and better. I can do Max 300 now half way Lol... due to leg strength and such, Im still working on it though... eh

Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2

Today, I decided to go up to Ebgames, and get Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2, which was a excellent buy. I had to trade in Ghost Recon 2.... The reason for this because the game was very boring and there was no blood... It was a good game, but it just got stupid after a while.

Well, the new DDR Ultramix 2 is a very good game.. with a amazing 65 new songs added to it.... it gives you plenty to do.... The timing on this one, is different though and will take a some time getting used too, and also the arrows on the screen are a little smaller which can be frustrated at first but you get used to it.... This a amazing game, with some awesome songs added... awesome techno songs, and awesome dance patterns, it makes this game amazing... The game is a little bit more challenging than DDR Ultramix, it makes you get more tired quicker......

Get the game, it is worth it....

Its been a long time....

Wow, It has been a long time since I have wrote on my journal... and to tell you, I have not bought any new games since Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix....

I have been busy with school and such, and that has made me not buy any games; pity me.

I am though, planning on buying a couple games:

Forza Motorsport: This game looks awesome, I love racing sims, and I am really anticpating this one. I dont have a Ps2, so this game would be perfect for me... Cant wait

Jade Empire: Yet again...I NEED A RPG... the last rpg that I was anticpating so much was Fable, and that game was a major disappointmen; I dont think jade empire will let me down.

Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2: Well, I have the first ultramix and I am really good on it...(On heavy mode and doing good) and so I want this one... This game will be good, when I get around to buying it

Anyways, These are some games, I am wanting buy, and I cant wait... My brain will be fried once again.

Dance Dance Revolution.....

Well, I decided today, that I wanted to get Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 1 for the xbox. To cover the cost, I traded in 007 Everything and Nothing, Crimson skies, Greg hasting tournament paintball, and Far cry. These were all great games to my collection, but I have beaten all the games, and I needed money for DDR.

DDR Ultramix is a excellent game, not only getting good exercise from the device. It makes you think and gives you a good feel of dancing. The game comes with many songs, Techno, Pop and such... I love this game so much

I recommend this game to anyone... It is a excellent exercise too... It is one of the only good interactive games out there....

Lord of the Rings "Battle for the Middle Earth"

This game is one of the best games, I've played in a while. The campaign is long, on Good or Evil sides. It plays everything in this game, from the movies..... Its Brillant.

Each side is so well-balanced and fun. There is still a few bugs Ea needs to fix. The online is fun, because you play real humans, and i can acuttlay play it, even though I have 56K.

This game is a brillant RTS, and is the only good game EA made last year. I recommend this game to anyone, who is interested in RTS.

School, Games....

Man, my school starts Thursday and I keep waking up around 11:00 o clock... i need to get used to the time some how....

Anyways, I have sooo many games to beat, and Im doing pretty good on all of them.... Morrowind though, I will probably never beat because its a neverending game.

Ut2004 is ok but the Single player is insanely hard , so I just go straight to the " Instant Action". Ghost Recon 2, I already beat on normal mode and which now I am starting hard mode, and its really gay and hard.

IL-2 take tons of practice because its a flight sim and you dont really end anywhere with that game. Mx Unleashed, I am about 60 % complete from beating the game.

007 Everything or nothing, I am almost done with.... Battle for Middle Earth, I am still playing the long campaign.... and enjoying it at the same time.

Anyways.... I have sooo many games to beat.. and Torture school starts in a few days.... NO TORTURE SCHOOL.... Ahhh I think Im going to die.

Level 6 (Rad Racer)

Ya, I'm finally level 7, which is great..

but the thing where it tells your percentage until next level is still messed up. It has a Big red x in it.

Anyone know a way to fix it?

Problem, Collection additions

Well, it has come to my attention, that the piece where it tells you the percent until your next level is not working. I tried everything from restarting my internet, signing out of account and it still doesnt work. It has a red x inside of it though. Also, when you go to give the game rating, that is missing also. Its becoming an annoyance and Im getting ANGRY>

On a happy note, I'm going to try to review every game I own... I reviewed about 10 games or so out 30 games , so I still have alot to go. Also, I found some of my games, I found Flight simulator 95, 98 and 2000 ( I am airplane fanatic) So, I'll be adding that to my collection.

Christmas is three days away, whooo hooooooooo MORE GAMES TO PLAY

Legacy of Kain "defiance"

This game is pitful... it shouldn't of been put on a game disc....

First off..... The camera angles suck so bad that it ruins the game completely. I tried to ignore it but it kinda hard when thats what is letting you look on the game.

The story is just plain boring, and has no interest in it.

The fighting is good though and the most funnest part of the game..

Overall, bad... This what i get for getting manipulated into buying cheap games on ebay... Bad matt ARggggggggg!!!!

Greg Hastings "Tournament Paintball"

Today, I beat Greg Hastings paintball, and I would have to say it was fun while it lasted. The game feature some of the BEST A.I. in a game. (Thats kinda werid in a paintball game). The game had good graphics, nice lighting and so on.

In this game you start from rookie and go all the way up to pro and earn exp points and buy equipment from the online store in the game. (Its not really online, they just call it it online.) As you get up in ranks you get bigger faster weapons and start playing some of the most hard and frustrating opponents. They did a good in the game of challening at the end.

The only problem I had with the game was that the game was kinda short and there isnt really much replay value. (If only I had Xbox Live.)

Overall, Great game, I just wish there was more replay value and unlockables.
