Just seem to have visited less and less since the whole gerstgate thang', and im not the only one it seems.

but i got a wii and thats worth **** about, or to be mor eprecise europes club nintendo.

ive got over 4000 star points, you get 200 per game in the uk, and you can use these to buy shirts, caps, evena gold link statue . that is, if they werent allways out of stock, all it sells is wallpapers now, and promises to convert your star points into wii points.

how?

by simply performing the option online of star to wii points?

apparently not ive got to buy cards, trouble is there all allways out of stock so they serve sod all purpose.

still the wii rocks, finally for me, i got twilight princess with it and im getting metroid prime and super paper mario tomorrow since i found a blockbuster tht has em' in 2 for £20 deals.

my connections rock,lol.

Just a thought.

weve all got a tracked blogs thing on the right yeah?

So if you click on one of those and then another on there tracked list 6 times how many members would you see?, and would you see yourself again?

like i said, just a thought.

sooo, what?, 5 days it lasted?

if you aint getting the gist the "replacement" xbox i got is full of problems and i expect a red ring sometime soon, it only plays half my games, stoppes detecting my hard drive for no reason, will NOT accept the internet detaisl as correct when they are and when i turn it off the fans keep going indefinatley unless i actually take the power out.

like i said, not dead yet, but i expect it to be soon.

im gonna trade it in , most likely for a ps3, since wii's have quietly gone out of stock everywere. again. onlya 60gb one though, i aint buying on without backwards compatibility for any amount of money, that would mean no silent hill 2, no ico and no vice city to name a few, NO THANKYOU!

So im looking back on some of my older reviews and to put it simply , there crap.

in particular 2 with like "0 out of 11" agree, and whilst i expected that with my tomb raider review, which i stick by, my call of dty 2 adn farcry reviews werent anything like the page long articles ive been writing lately, they were way more fanboyish, and while far cry was ruined for me with all of its glitches my review didnt get it across as more than trolling, i think these really bad reviews are why im not "in the top 500" list anymore.

So as such im going to replay these. have a think and then re write them, as long as some people agreed with but i still think coudl use some tweaking.

So i go in gamestation and see obscure 2 for the ps2, wii and pc on a shelf, i love the first, and still havent finished this but i thought this was still in production stages and snapped it up fro 19.99, apparently its been out a week, and its uk and europe only folks.

The premise?, this time your trapped in a live in uni campus with monsters on the loose, so more of the same, but thats not a bad thing, cant wait to play it and post a review later, but yeah, horror fans should looks this obscure one up.

Its been a month and im STILL playing elite beat agents, even more so than guitar hero, adn thats saying something, this is possibly my favourite ds game for sheer replayability adn if you aint bought it you gotta pick it up.

well its officially dead through no fault fo my own, i treated the thing like glass and it just died on me.

no red rings, it jsut freezes, no hard drive or anythign attached, its a fault in the machine.

and what does microsoft say?, send us 50 quid, for any americans thats almsot 100 bucks for us to repair a faulty console we sold you.

y'know a nintendo wii is getting more tempting every damn day, no matte rhow good the 360 games are, there comes a point when you jsut gotta put your foot down.

ever since my little brother dropped a sledgehammer on mine in '03 ive been looking for another barnd new dreamcast, easily my favourite console pre 360.

today i found on, 70 quid ,as new, with a keyboard and mouse (i didnt even know the 'cast had a mouse), 30 games including such rarities as shemnue 1 AND 2 mint condition, skies of arcadia, gradnia 2, house of the dead 2 with lightgun adn loads of games that whislt not rare rock, like soul calibre, sonic adventure, power stone, crazy taxi, resi 2 ect.

its great to have one again, this was easily my favourite sega console, from the kickass memory card system to the way the cases held discs that didnt gradually cuase fractures on the interior ring like modern cases do, it has some of the most memorable games (im still hunting for a mint condition copy of seaman, which has more jokes about it than the wii,lol).

all in all the dreamcast rocks and you can get em for 20 quid on ebay so if you never played one your missing out, if you had one, dude get one again, i cant stress how much the dreamcast kicks so much **** ass!

i got golden sun 3 as the first game i bought with cash by myself for my 13th birthday back in 2007, i fell in love with it, this was better than final fantasy and in my opinion is better than the first 5 easily, and a year or two later i almost crapped my pants to learn part 2 'the lost age' was on its way and i got it the day it came out, again loved it easily on par with final fantasy 6 almost as good as 7, AND RMEMBER THIS IS A GBA GAME IM TLAKING ABOUT!. so it ends with them lighting all the lighthouses and unleashing the power of the golden sun whcih the protagonist now has and does the enemy, meanwhile they leave for a floating ontinent in the sky and for new adventures to begin.....

and here i am at 19 years of age still waiting for the concluion, this is just like what was done with shenmue and epic clut gaem with a bgi fanbase that just dissappears there was rumours of 3 on the gba ,then the cube then the ds but no proof, anyone else lvoe those games and still want to see the finale to the story?

first off cool ive gone from lvl 17 to 19 in like a week and i havent even posted a review over the last week, wierd.

second, and dont ask me why but apparently ive earned the "hella oldschool" emblem. havent added any new old ones..... except symphony of the night for live arcade but hey new emblem i aint gonna complain!

second hot fuzz. excellent in the cinema ,even better on dvd with all the extras, i may even like it mroe than shaun of the dead, yeah im surprised too.

finally when is microsoft gonna finish making there 360 console backwards compatible?, i bought 4 games for the xbox sudeki, total overdoes, the thing and azurik rise of perathia and only the thing worked!, ive had to get rid of 30 xbox games since they simply dont work and i dont own an origional xbox anymore, granted theres a good enough games selection out and coming out to make me keep it instead of a wii or a ps3 but this just bugs me, the wii can do it no problem, granted theres a completely diffeent type of system operating the 360 to the xbox but still surely this should have been first on the agenda for updates but no instead we get a slightly tweaked dvd playing program so you get a little bar when rewinding or fast forwarding to see were we are in the movie

its officially final fantasy 11 is ,hands down, THE most boring game i have ever played, it was truly terrible, as you lvl up enemys give you less xp, theres about 250 npcs in any townand only 15 have any relevance to the game, it takes far to long to traverse the bland uninspired land scapes and its click on an enemy, click attack and then watch the fight and do nothing, you dont actually get money from fighting you need a limited time spell cast on you by an npc to find drops then sell thos ein an auction house, sounds boring it is, adn unfiar, it has potions in this game at 600 gil each for cryin' out loud!.

i started my account on the 3rd and by the 7th i cancelled it and headed back to global maple story, avoid this game it is incredibly tedious and really not worth the subscription fee, the only reason its played is by die ahrd final fantasy fans expecting the same thing, well it aint, ill take crystal chronicles any day.

so here it is, tomorrow is my last ever day of college. and now all i have left to do is my finals next month.

its wierd that its allready been 2 years at college, and even wierder to think i may be taking an extra year to do a fast track into photography to see if i can get into a better university for that film and television studies degree ive got my eyes on.

over the past 2 years ive changed my perspective on life a lot, i guess having no job or college or anything and being told you have to be checked out for cancer (clean thank god) will do that to you. 2 years ago i left high school with terrible grades, no work experience and no chance at getting a job, i wanted to try games design, then after trying it realised i was spending mroe time on that than playing them, though i allways was the class clown so ive allways wanted to entertain others so i decided to follow my dream of becomeing a film maker.

ive filmed some stuff, set up a small wannabe independant production group "underground slackers productions", got a site, a forum and a small following, its nice how haveing a dream to follow can make your life turn around in such a good way.

question is now that college is over were do i go next over the summer?

thats just the start of a new adventure in life i guess. and i cant wait.

so i finished pokemon pearl, got all the pokemon and beat the league, it took me 58 hours, the alst game to last me so long was oblivion, totally worth the money in my opinion this may be the best pokemon game to date, i kinda got sick of em by ruby and sapphire, but these are really something else, possibly the best handheld rpg ever and needless to say they really pulled out all the stops for this one i really enjoyed it, took me right back to when i was younger playing pokemon red for the first time on christmas day.

wether you lvoe all the games or havent played one since red and blue i can hreatily recommend this epic game as pound for pound and entertainment wise this really is fantastic value for your money.

My 100th Gamespot review, on Hotel Dusk: Room 215 for the Nintendo ds.

iTs been around a year since ive joined and im finally at 100 reviews.

Next up 200

weird huh?, im allready 26 hours, 5 bagdes and 98 pokemon into pokemon pearl version for the nintendo ds and yet its not even available to review on gamespot yet, did i miss something here? if the gamespot reviewers can do it why is the option for other gaemrs not there?, granted this is the uk gamespot and im playing the u.s import but its the same game so i think it should be possible to review it.

im gonna save my view for my 100th review on it, but its safe to say its the best pokemon game since red and blue.

....or pokemon snap, that was pretty rad too.
