Happy Halloween!!!

Well my xbox had been acting like crap the past few weeks, namely it wouldn't read ANY disc, I'd have to cross my fingers and hope it started reading. Yesterday it officially took a major dump and scractched my gamedisc* + refused to even begin reading a disc. I checked online and because it wasn't a red-ring and it was out of warranty: I was screwed.

So why I am I not pissed? Well I got a brand spanking new one!!! I bought an elite model today with the 120g harddrive and everything, it's VERY quiet too compared to any of the other xboxes I've gotten (notice thats plural?).

So whats better than a great new system? being able to say Borderlands is quite possibly one of the best games I've played in awhile, I am definitelyputting a review up soon- check back later for it

*It was actually Borderlands, which sucks, but it thankfully hasn't affected it too much. I can still play the game just fine

Yeah, so far I'm digging it. Plus you can blow up evil midgets.

Ya know what sucks? Buying a game that looks great, has potential, and ends up sucking. In other words- Operation Flashpoint.

Maybe your wondering what the game is in the first place. Well it's a very realistic war game, and to me that sounded awesome. Plus I wanted to try something new. It was under the radar but had a ton of potential to be awesome. Instead I paid $60 for a buggy, dissapointing, frustrating game.

Is it the worst game ever? No. But Ya gotta keep in mind I make jack s**t at work and even then have little hours, so I usually like to put money I DO earn towards stuff thats GOOD. Hell, I could have waited a few days and bought Brutal Legend- that looks great! S**t! I Should have waited two weeks and waited for Borderlands!!!

SON OF A B**CH!!!!!

All right guys, time for a bigger blog this go-round. I've been on gamespot for almost 5 years (though, technically, I barely used it at all until a little over a year ago). With this I've reviewed a TON of games, typically I'm a "nice guy" for games. But over time opinions change- games grow off you, games maylook really crappy compared to others, and sometimes I ask myself looking at my old reviews WhatTheF**k was I thinking!?!?

So...I'm going to list some old games I reviewed/ ratedand see how they hold up

GrandTheftAuto 4

Original score: 10/10 New Score: 9.5/10

Ok...I jumped on the "lets all hail GTA4 for being awesome!!" bandwagon without getting too far into the game. Don't get me wrong, it's still awesome. But over time and after completing the single player story I was dissapointed. There wasn't as much content compared to SanAndreas and to me, that felt cheap.

Ninja Gaiden 2

Original Score: 9.5/10New Score: 8/10

Yeah, whoops. I F'ed up on this one. NinjaGaiden on the original Xbox was my favorite from that console so I was hella excited about this.Just Like GTA4 I didn't truly experience the whole game. I started realizing the flaws of the game as I got farther into the game. Where the first one was tough and challenging, thisone was tough and CHEAP! The new weapons were cool some were unnecessary and I hated the health system.

Far Cry 2

Original Score: 9/10 New Score: 8/10

This is dissapointing. This game had a TON of potential: a cool setting, tons of weapons, an incredible level editor, great graphics...all ruined by a BROKEN SINGLE PLAYER GAME. I was about halfway through the single player when, during a mission, every time I entered a door to meet some guy I fell through the level- this happened about 6 times before I finally just said f**k it.

BioShock

Original Score: 9.5/10 New Score: 10/10

You know what? Some games get better over time- Bioshock is a great example. After a couple extra playthroughs I can say that Bioshock is even more satisfiying the more you play it. The great characters and Oscar-worthy writing in the story only add to this masterpiece.

Perfect Dark Zero

Original Score: 9/10 New Score 7/10

I really got slap myself in the face for this one. This game was NOT good. Yeah, it was the first xbox360 game, yeah it was made by Rare, and yeah it was the sequel to one of the best shooters ever but that doesen't mean s**t when the shooting mechanics are wierd, the graphic and art ****are fugly, and the story is stupid.

Fallout 3

Original Score 10/10 New Score: Still awesome

Fallout is still a fantastic game, after all the add-ons and beting every quest I can happily say this game does not dissapoint.

Shaq-Fu

This game sucks and always will
