As i was growing up, i was mostly a Sega guy. Played the Master System, the Mega Drive (Genesis for my American friends) and even the Game Gear. Also played the Saturn and the Dreamcast, but that was when everything started to go downhill for Sega. For me, Sega had its gold age when the Mega Drive / Genesis was out.

I bought Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection the other day. Bought it because there isn't anything else coming out now that really interest me. I was a little afraid that i wouldn't enjoy this collection of classic games from Sega because i might have been spoiled by recent generations games. Boy, was i wrong... The minute i started playing games like Alex Kidd, Sonic, Streets of Rage, Altered Beast and many others, my mind was flooded with so many memories of the many afternoons and evenings i spent playing those games with my friends, especially with my cousin Roberto who was like a brother when we were growing up.

I felt good inside when those memories started popping up. In these times where life seems so much hard and less happy, having those memories and feelings was really great. I never thought classic games would have this effect on me.

Thank you Sega, for giving me the opportunity with this collection of games to remember some of the best childhood moments that i had.

At least for me it does.

Until October, there's no must get game coming out. From that point on though, there's more games than i can handle. I hate this. I hate the fact that most high profile developers choose to release their games around the holiday season. I know it's the smartest thing to do since that's the time when people buy more games, but i think it would be good if they chose to release more games during summer time. It would be good for more dedicated gamers, that like to have great games throughout the whole year, and lets be honest, a great game sells any time of the year.

Oh well. Guess it's time to finish some games and replay the ones i've been wanting to play again.

So, how about you guys? Do you feel the same way or do you disagree with me and think this summer drought some gamers talk about is a myth?

In other news, i got the Platinum Trophy for inFAMOUS. I'm not obsessed with trophies, but inFAMOUS was so damn good and fun to play that i decided i would go for it. I played the game twice, once as a good guy and once as a bad guy. Amazing game, the ending was really great. Bring on a sequel!

Seriously, this game owns me right now. I can't freaking stop playing it!

Someone help me, please!

InFamous is one of those games that immerses you so deeply that when you're playing it, you don't notice time passing by and you're absolutely oblivious of what's happening around you.

InFamous is one heck of a fun game to play. It has its technical issues, like the occasional pop-in, but in no way that ruins the experience. This is the most fun sandbox game i have played since GTA Vice City.

9.5/10

Go get it right now if you own a PS3 and like this type of game.

Since the first time i laid my eyes on InFAMOUS, i had a gut feeling that this game would be really great. Since the beginning i've been hyping it as AAA material and now that the reviews are coming out, i feel very satisfied. Satisfied because i'll soon be having another great game in my library, but also because i owned a lot of people that laughed in my face when i said this game was gonna get a 9.0 here on gamespot.

Here are the reviews of some of the most respectable sites and magazine publications:

Gamespot - 9.0

IGN- 9.2

IGN UK- 9.0

IGN AU- 8.6

PSMUK- 9.0

Game Informer- 9.0

Gameplayer- 8.5

1UP- A-

Gaming Age- A-

CVG- 8.5

Videogamer- 8.0

Kikizo- 8.5

Gamedaily- 9.0

Play Magazine- 10

Gametrailers- 9.0

TVG- 8.0

Really good scores across the board.

The demo is very fun and addicting and i can't wait to get the full game. So, who's getting it also?

Yesterday i had my internet connection upgraded. It's part of a relatively new package of TV + Telephone + Internet that my ADSL internet provider is selling now. It comes out cheaper than what i had before so i subscribed it. I used to have a 3.5 Mbps connection and now it's at 11.5 Mbps. Those are the real download speeds, tested them myself. Upload speed increased significantly too. I don't need to say that the differences are huge. Downloads are much more faster and browsing the internet is a lot faster too.

It seems this has brought me a problem though. I can play Killzone 2, Resistance and even Mortal Kombat 2 online without a single hiccup, but i can't find a single match of SF4 to play. Whenever i search for a game i can't find any, it says there are no sessions available all the time. The only way i managed to play was by hosting a game and even that was crap, with lag all over the place.

I don't know what is happening. Was this just a temporary problem with SF4 online or am i doomed to not being able to play a single decent SF4 online match again, even with my friends?

I'm not technically savvy when it comes to this online play thing. Can someone enlighten me about what's going on?
