At last.. I've recieved my Metal Gear Solid 4 Limited Edition bundle. I've waited so long, it seemed like ages. But now the wait's finally over and here is the game:

This Limited edition consists of The Game, Soundtrack CD, Metal Gear Saga vol 2, An Artbook and an extra Blue-Ray with over 2 hours of commentaries and features.

I really can't wait to immerse myself in this game. I've been a big MGS fan for years and my expectations for this game are sky high. Let's see if the game delivers the promise. I'll be back to let you all know.

Meanwhile here's a little vid from GTA4. I actually shot this to show you how accurately the game depicts Times Square. Compare it to the real photo below the vid. Isn't it unbeleivable?

I've been very busy lately on this game. It got me really immersed in the experience. I must say that this game is absolutely fantastic and its really worthy of the excellent ratings it recieved. Gonna play some more than I'll come back and post some photos later.

Oh God, I really had to wait for this! 3 weeks since this game has been released and 3 weeks I have spent anxiously waiting for this game to arrive by post all the way from the USA. Sure I could have gone out and bought it at a local shop in the beginning of the month, but since I wanted the Special Edition and I had pre-ordered it I had to wait Anyway, now it's here...

And here it is, unpacked at last... well it's been worth the wait!

I'm off to play now people, I'll write a review soon and let you know if this game was really worth the 10 rating.

Ok, so I may seem to be wasting my money, but I was really looking forward to this game and so I went for the 'all-inclusive' edition. The Limited Edition is only available from Gamestop. It cost me a total of almost $150 to have it shipped here to Malta, but I am happy to be having this game. Metal Gear never let me down. Hope the series will not stop as Hideo is saying!

Hey ppl, I am back and I am here to stay! Gonna revamp my profile and I am back into serious gaming too.

Any PS3 owners please add me as your freind. My profile name is davidgatt

See you online!

Hey ppl, those who played NFS Carbon all the way through, did you find it hard to beat Darius? I went through the game really quick and found it quite easy, but I am having serious problems with this damn guy Darius. He's the last boss and he's really hard to beat at the canyon race, unlike the other bosses.

Hey people, need some avice from you. Since that, as I mentioned before, Matrix Online seems to have been abondened, I am looking for a new MMORPG. I have these ideas in mind:

I know there are a handful of other MMORPGs that seem very promising: Pirates of the Burning Sea, Tabula Rasa, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising. What do you suggest for me?

Earlier this year HMV.com caused quite a lot of talk when they put up an advert on their site that gave the impression that Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots was going to be released on XBOX360. This was quite a welcome news for XBOX owners and a disappointment for Sony's exclusive games list. However this seems to have been just a mistake, as the advert has now been removed from the site, and only the PS3 version remains as a preorder. Check it out on HMV.com

I am writing this with quite a sad feeling. First of all, I'd like to point out that I am a HUGE matrix fan. I must have seen the movies a 100 times, I played every related game and I own a lot of stuff about the movie. Thus I was thrilled when the producers came out with THE MATRIX ONLINE, inorder to continue the story after the events of The Matrix Revolutions. I bought the game about a year and a half ago and played it for some months, and I must say I enjoyed it.

I hope the situation improves and thisgame gets revived and populated once again, cause if this game dies the I'm afraid that would be the END of the story of the Matrix. Com on guys, don't let this happen!!

Well, this subject is quite hard to discuss. It's not that I don't like any games.. it's exactly the opposite! I may be a little strange and unusual, but I tend to like games from nearly all kinds of genres. Below I'll try to list the games I love most, maybe you'll begin to understand what I mean (sorted by platform)

Prince of Persia Trilogy

Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City & San Andreas

PC

Monkey Island 3 & 4

Command & Conquer Generals

Well I know this list may seem confusing, but those were the games that came first in my mind while I was typing. Of course there are others which I missed. Some consoles, like the Amiga and the Atari130Xe, I don't own anymore. But I still play and look out for their games, which I then play with an emulator on my PC. I know that most of them look very dated compared to today's graphics, but personally its the gaming experience I enjoy most, not its visuals. One good example of this was the very first Monkey Island on my Amiga. I remeber that when I started to play it I got so much deep into it that I could barely sleep at night. I used to switch off and go to sleep, wait for everyone to be sound asleep, then I would wake up again to play some more of it. Oh, those were the good old gaming times!

Some months ago I managed to downgrade my PSP to version 1.5, then I updated it to version 3.03 OE-C. This version lets you play homebrews plus the coolest feature is that you can play PS1 games on your PSP now! To tell you the truth it's not a very simple task but its rather worth the effort once you get it done. I played Metal Gear VR Missions and I must say it plays really cool on a PSP.

Whoever wants to know the procedure to downgrade let me know, I'll be glad to help you out (Please note that you must only play original games on your downgraded PSP, as playing copies is against the law.)

Below are some screenshots of PS1 games running on a PSP.

I have the older (fat) Playstation 2 model. I have some issues sometimes with dual layer games. I play God of War 2 (which is on a dl disc) just fine from the original disc. Then I made a backup and it started to work fine at first, but at a certain point it just halts on a Loading screen. Anyone has had the same problem?

Well after seeing An Inconvinient Truth and hearing the news lately I was quite scared of what was to come in a few years time. It was scary just to think about the consequences of our actions. But then I came through this documentary and I must say it has confused me a lot. These guys are saying Global Warming is a natural phase that occurs every now and then, and its not caused by man. Who shall we believe now? Check out the vid below and see for yourself.

I'm a big movie fan as well. And i think Frank Miller's 300 will be one of this year's greatest films. I can't wait for it to start showing here! Check out the trailers.

Isn't she adorable?

She's a rotweiller. I guess many people are afraid of this breed. Well, all I can say to you is that if you bring them up in a good way there surely is nothing to be afraid of. Look at her... trying to get in my brother's bed sheets to sleep! I guess dogs are really man's best friend. I'll get some more photos of her & my other animals in a while. Her name's Shady by the way!
