:D I love it! It's helping me greatly for the SouthVille Soundtrack! Oh yeah, I haven't talked about SouthVille here yet, it's an Horror / Adventure game for PC for wich I'm making the Soundtrack, Audio Edits, some sound effects, additional ideas, etc... I'll open a BLOG post about it later today or something.

As I stated before, I got that stupid problem with PlayStation 3, it stopped reading any discs right before I finished Metal Gear Solid 4 (FRUSTRATING! I really wanna know the end! Guess I gotta wait...). Well, I'll be sending my console to Sony probably next week or something, only after I finish Siren: Blood Curse. Yeah, it won't read any discs, but games on the hard-drive is fine to play, so, as an horror fan and Siren fan, I got it yesterday, the full thing. It's a shame it's not on Blu-Ray, but oh well. The game is and isn't a remake of the first Forbidden Siren for the PlayStation 2. It is a remake because many missions are the same (with different scenarios and characters), and it isn't a remake because the story is a bit different and of course, the characters and some maps are different. I never finished Forbidden Siren because it was too frustrating for my head, I kind of gave up on it by the middle - it was too hard. This one thankfuly has difficulty settings, so you can go with Easy or Normal. I'm on Normal and heck, it's much easier than the original game. I'm loving it! The graphics are really good, the atmosphere is really dark and morbid - very scary. The shibito are awesome (the ones with wings are funny instead of scary though, lol) and I'm loving the story. The only bad thing is that, even if you buy the whole game instead of going for the Episode format... you still get the episode format, but for less money. So, you buy it and you still have to download the 12 packages wich is a pain. I'm up to Episode 4 playing because it only downloaded up to Episode 4. And to get my PlayStation 3 online, I have to turn off the internet on my computer, so I'm waiting for tonight, and while I sleep I'll put the PlayStation 3 downloading the rest of the packages. The first Episode is really small, it took me 5 minutes to finish it, though the others kept growing in length, wich is good (I was scared at first that the missions would all be like that). I'll post a final review when I finish this game, hopefuly still this week as I want to send my PlayStation 3 to Sony as soon as possible.

I'll see you guys later! :)
