Hey all, just a little thought popped into my head, I picked up Borderlands the week it came out, played it for a few weeks, I really did enjoy my time playing the game, and the elemental weapons never cease to make me chuckle :p, though I still have yet to come across a corrosive gun. I got to level 21, and by the time that happened, I had picked up Uncharted 2, and that kept me busy for a whi...
Hey all, been ages right? Well, hopefully this will be the start of me getting back into blogging, though what i write may be meaningless ramblings, atleast I'll have something to do :P Let's get started then! Today's will be a simple update, what I've been playing, what I'm intending to pick up, there's not much else on my mind right now. What I've played recently, well, I picked up Demon's So...
Hey all, just wanted to finally update, I've got a week off school this coming week, so I'll be getting plenty of gaming done! So, a quick rundown of everything that's gone on since the summer: I traveled to Prague and Turkey, it was fun! I got Batman Arkham Asylum, I loved it, only a few trophies left, the challenge room ones, they're annoyingly difficult, and playing the game on hard, which i...
Hey all, i was away for the weekend, had a nice little trip to a resort. I had an awesome time, and my regular gaming should continue normally. I will be leaving again in about a week or so, and that trip is going to last for about 3 weeks. So I hope to put up atleast one more big update here on the blog before I leave.
Heyy all, just a quick update on some of the stuff thats happening. I got my school report yesterday, i got my predicted grades, and they were all pretty good. I also got a new laptop last week, which is pretty awesome! Especially for travel. I've also been plaything through Red Faction: Guerrilla, which I think is AWESOME, the singleplayer is fun, though I haven't gotten that far into it, as I...
Hey all, just a bit of an update on everything, I'm going to be talking a bit about E3(yes I know you've heard enough already, but I'd just like to mention some games that I'm interested in) and some of the games I've been playing lately. So, about E3, well you've probably seen all the impressions and opinions everywhere, and you can just skip over to the next part of my blog if you can't be bo...
Hey all, I got a short break between my exams this week. I had my Design Tech exam yesterday, and it was fucking stressful! We had an hour and 15 minutes to basically think of, develop a product, and draw an accurate representation(with measurements) then evaluate it, based on the question asked. The other half of the exam, was graphic design, we had an hour to do that. The first part of sectio...
Hey all, sorry for not posting in a while, i've been pretty busy with my studies and all, so this is just a quick post, my next blog should hopefully be in a weeks time, as I've got a 1 week break between exams then, and i'll be done with my exams by the 16th of june, until then, wish me luck! PS here's a question to all, do you remember a game called Primal? I remember playing it when i was yo...
Woo! Our graduation ceremony is tonight! There's a ton of other stuff I want to talk about, but for now I want to focus on this. Graduation has always been this far off dream that I though would never come. I can't believe its actually happening tonight! We were at the hotel ballroom where the ceremony will take place, to practice how we'd come up to receive our certificates and how to enter an...
Hey all, its been a while, I've been distracted by other things, mainly stuff to do with school, my upcoming graduation and external examinations(I need to study mooore!!!!!). It's been quite an eventful week, the highlight was definitely Friday night, as that was the school prom, which was insanely fun! Since our school doesn't have a big enough space, every year they rent out a ballroom at a...
Hey all, I'm finally updating my blog today, I'll bullet point what's going on with me. I got a copy of Persona 4, and so far I'm really enjoying it, I just saved Kanji, and I'm waiting for the next person to disappear. I'm working on getting loads of money and buying a ton of supplies. It seems my PS2 won't be retired anytime soon XD. New Assassin's Creed image scans look great, and the charac...
Hey all, today has to be a short blog, since i can't be assed to write a lot, anyways, since last time, i've been playing though VC again on my clear save. I also got assassin's creed back from my friend,and I'm playing through that again. I've also been working on my Project(if you've read my blog early last september, you might remember me talking about a front cover and border for my file. A...
I'm in a good mood today, having finally beaten Valkyria Chronicles, and what an epic game that is! If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'd know that I've been raving about this game since the moment I got it. Though I was very reluctant at first, since the demo didn't really show off what the game can actually do, there wasn't anything that really connected with me, since it was just...
Hey all, just a quick blog post today, most of it about Fallout 3, which is the game that I've been playing recently. Now I know it's been months since it's been out, but it was one of the games I decided to skip, because of the bad experience I had with the PC version. Now that I've borrowed it from a friend, I decided to give it another go. I've progressed a lot, and I'm at level 12, and pres...
Hey all, I recently swapped games with a friend and I snagged Fallout 3 from him, I have played it on my PC before, but I hated it, I guess my PC didn't really do the game any justice, it was constantly glitching, crashing and being retardedly slow. So I shelved the game, and basically continued to hate on it until I decided to give it one more chance-this time on my PS3. And so far, though I'm...
Hey guys, just a quick blog today, not much has been happening lately, I've progressed a bit through Killzone 2, and though I'm taking my time, I'm really enjoying the game, I haven't really invested any time in multiplayer yet, but I will soon, I hope. Most of my gaming time has been taken up by Burnout Paradise, I've managed to get my Burnout License, though I'm still quite a way away from wh...
I bought burnout paradise again this week, this time off the PSN store, because it was only 19.99 and if I'd bought it at the store it would've been way more expensive. So after a 3.2 gig download, and a 300mb update(a total of 3 days of downloading stuff) I finally installed and played the game. Since my old save was from the EU version of the game, and this was the US version, my save data wa...
Hey all, sorry about not blogging for the past week or so, the internet got fixed-for now at least, we're changing some stuff again soon and it could get cut again- but i've managed to get quite a bit of gaming done in the past few weeks. Especially in Valkyria Chronicles, I've finally progressed past chapter 11 and I'm now quite close to the final few chapters, though I must say that when comp...
Hey all, I'll be keeping this blog short, as I'm shit tired and I have a fever and a massive headache. I've been kinda sick since thursday but it hasn't really affected me until tonight, which is perfect timing as I have school tomorrow. Which sucks as I have booster classes to get to and I've got some issues with a few teachers I need to sort out, but I guess I'll be home tomorrow. Thursday I...
Hey peeps, in my last blog I said I got some stuff from the PSN store, as I finally got my hands on some PSN cards, and I'm really exited to get some DLC, especially from games like Burnout, Mirror's edge, and the recently announced Prince of Persia epilogue. Now, there was one free map for Mirror's edge on the store on thursday, so I got it off the American PSN, and guess what, it didn't show...
I got some awesome stuff for my birthday, a few games, two $50 dollar PSN cards, and a watch! All of which are beyond awesome. I'll put up my impressions of each game I played, and I've also had an interesting dream a couple nights ago, plus I remembered some pictures I mean't to talk about in previous blogs, but completely forgot about them. I picked up Motorstorm Pacific Rift, and I've been e...
Hey guys, just felt like writing a blog post, namely about something that I've been doing for the past week or so, since there aren't any games I want coming out soon, I'm going to use this "quiet" time before Killzone 2 releases to go back and play some of the games I missed, whether it be games from last generation, or simply games I didn't buy during the holiday rush of games. Since God of W...
Hey guys, sorry for being silent for the past week or so, my exams are finally over, I've gotten a few of the results, but not all of them, I'll get the rest over the next week or so, but so far I got good grades in Maths and Biology, but I failed horribly at Chemistry XD. So this weekend I've been doing nothing but play games, I've been catching up on Valkyria Chronicles, I got past chapter 8,...
It's the end of the first week of exams, I've sat through 5 exams this week, Maths, Business Studies, Literature(two exams) and English. Our exam timetable is split into 3 sessions each day. Session 1 is from 7.40 upto 10.10 when we get a break, session 2 starts at 10.45 and lasts until 11.55, session 3 starts at 12.30 and ends at 2.15. Now most of my exams are around 2 hrs long, the toughest s...
After four weeks of doing nothing but playing games(and a few hours of studying), I'm sad to say that I have school tomorrow, what's worse is that I've got exams for the next two weeks. I've got one exam around noon tomorrow, so i don't have to come in at 7, when it's freezing cold. I might post a quick blog after each exam, just to talk about how it went. I have a feeling this year will be ext...
Wow it feels like it was just yesterday I started blogging here, I don't really know what to say. 2008 has been great, though it did end in an unexpected way, but it's been a great year nonetheless. There's not much going on this past week, and school starts in 5 days, and that means EXAMS! I have a feeling that I'm totally screwed on some subjects, especially chemistry, I can't understand a th...
Well it was supposed to be fun, as me and my cousins, and their cousins had planned to go out to the local theme part yesterday, I was really exited because I haven't been there in ages, and I was dieing to get on the crazy rides. We still ended up going, but I didn't have as much fun as I would've liked. Mainly because of the very sad news that I got earlier that morning. I got a message early...
Its time to announce my Games of The Year, each category will have a list of games that I think belong in that group, and based on my experience with the game, I’ll pick a winner. Note that the games I pick are only the games I’ve played until completion, or for an extended period of time. But first I’d like to say that this year has been totally awesome in so many ways, 2008 has flown by so fa...
I picked up Tomb Raider and Mirror’s Edge last week, and I beat both in about 3 days, both were great in different things, and both are flawed. Let’s start with mirror’s edge shall we? It looked so amazing, in the trailers, nothing could be more fun than jumping across rooftops and finding hidden messenger bags, while uncovering the reason why Faith’s sister was framed for murder. The demo was...
Hey all, Sorry about not blogging for the past week or so, I've been having connection issues and just a few days ago, our modem/router-thing crapped out on us, so I've been stuck without internet for the past few days. It should be sorted out soon, just waiting for the repair guy to get here. Anyways, since I'm running out of time and this internet device i got plugged into my laptop is a but...
Heya, I've got a couple of new games over the weekend, and I'm lovin' both. Prince of Persia, and Valkyria Chronicles. I didn't pick up Mirror's Edge or Tomb Raider because the price was too high, and I didn't have enough cash. Let's start off with the one I'm playing the most. Prince of Persia, I remember first getting Sands of Time, I never got past the fight with his father, I guess I wasnt...
Hey guys, just in for a quick update, I finished LBP's story mode the other night, but I've still got a load of stuff to collect still, but I am working on my level, I'm taking my time, I want this first attempt to be atleast halfway decent. I also finished Resistance 2 yesterday, I love how it ended, I'm not going to post any spoilers, so if you want me to say what happened, then just PM me. I...
Fun in video games, how subjective is it? First of all, what exactly is fun ? A dictionary definition would be: –noun 1. something that provides mirth or amusement: A picnic would be fun. I guess that goes the same for games in general. But something you might enjoy greatly, someone else might absolutely hate, this shows that fun is entirely depending on you, an Running ar ound is "fun"! d not...
Those two games have been the ones I've been playing the most, over the last few days, plus a little Deadspace aswell. As of now, Deadspace is really the only game that ever made me scream, out of pure fear. Really. Usually I'd just jump, or go "OH SHIT!" but never scream. I did finish chapter six though, and all I've got so say is, that the Leviathan is one impressive boss, even though it was...
I picked up LBP and R2 Thursday night, I was going to get the Sony Headset but I didn't have enough cash. So far I'm really enjoying both games, and I'm lucky I haven't gotten much homework for the weekend. Now today, a good friend of mine came over to play these games, we played a few levels in LBP, and then I let him play a new game of DeadSpace. I was just sitting back and watching him play,...
I finished Bioshock last night, the ending was okay, I guess. I think I'm the only one who stayed away from all the spoilers and didn't know the ending. I played through the game being the "good" guy and saved all the little sisters. I might play through it again sometime later on, just to see the other ending. But now I need to devote all my gaming time to Dead Space, because as soon as I'm do...
Well, since my weekend is now over, and I can't find the time to pick up DeadSpace during the week, so while all the ideas I had are still floating about in my mind, I thought I'd compile a list of all the things that had run through my mind while playing. I got up to the end of chapter 4, and so far, it's been a wild ride! I'll list the main things, and I'll talk about them under. The Story: Y...
I went to the store, expecting to get Bioshock, FarCry 2, LBP, and a new DS3. I thought they hadn't recalled LBP here, but I was wrong, so I caved and got DeadSpace and Bioshock instead, the guy said he'd call me when they got FarCry, which he said would either be Satuarday, or Friday. So, I managed to snag 2 games and a DS3 for a discounted price, and he said he'd buy my useless Xbox games off...
I didn't know what to put for the title, so I called it an update. Anyways, I've been pretty busy this past week, which explains my lack of forum-posting, blogging, and IRC-ing. Tuesday we had this barbecue at school, and since I was part of the Yearbook team, I had to take pictures of everyone, I had to go down to take pictures of the younger students, since a lot of complaints were received t...
I've been pretty unlucky for the past few days, it all started out on Sunday, when my earphones-I use them for my ipod and computer, since they're comfortable-decided to break, and I could only get sound in one ear and not the other, that really sucked, since they were my favourite earphones so far. The day was really boring too, I had to write an Essay for my literature class, and draw some gr...
Well, the week of Oct 21 is almost upon us! So I've gotta organise my list of games I want to buy that week-and the following weeks-so I know exactly what to ask for when I go to buy them. So for the holiday season, I've got these games on my list: DeadSpace Saints Row 2 LittleBigPlanet FarCry2 Bioshock Fallout 3 Motorstorm: Pacific Rift Resistance 2 Mirror's Edge Tomb Raider Underworld Prince...
Ratchet & Clank get my vote!
You may have heard about Eurogamer giving away about 5000 beta keys for the LBP beta, well, after about an hour of clicking refresh, I finally got a key, but it was so late that I just set it to download and went to bed. First thing I did in the morning was run through the intro level-which by the way, is probably THE most creative intro I have ever seen-and I ran through a couple of the levels...
I downloaded the Fracture and Mercs 2 demos yesterday, and here's my impressions: Fracture: The game looks pretty, but feels average, the terraforming stuff looks cool at first, but then just gets boring-imo- some of the weapons were cool, but felt kinda weak. My biggest gripe was the controls, they're just a tad overwhelming at first, and since I'm used to pressing R1 instead of R2 to fire, so...
I borrowed God Of War: Chains Of Olympus from a buddy this week, I just beat it a few minutes ago, and I gotta say, that game is the most phenomenal game I have played on the PSP. I just wish I had played the other games on the PS2, but sadly, I don't think I ever will, the games are banned where I live, but that won't stop some stores from selling the games, GTA IV was banned here, but it was...
I feel bad for my PS3, it's been collecting dust all week, I've been waiting for October to roll around so I can get some new games, but I haven't got around to finishing Uncharted. I'm on the last few chapters though. I had to write three essays for my English homework this week, and I had to do the corrections for my summer Biology exam-I'm glad I got 80%, I didn't have much to correct. I am...
So I've finished the Border and Cover, I completely redesigned it, and made it in photoshop. I showed a A4 printout to my teacher today, he likes it, and I'm going to go get it printed out today. Border Front Cover The text has been removed, so the front cover doesn't look as good. But It'll do. I might get Spore some time next week, still not sure when though. I saw the applications for the R2...
This year, for my Design Tech. class, we have to design and build a model of either something to do with Storage, Display, Lighting, or Game Design(board game). The grade we get for this project is worth 50% of our final grade in the summer. I was at first thinking of doing storage, but I kinda changed my mind, and I might go for display instead. I was thinking of making a small stand to go on...
I've been experimenting with photoshop lately, and I've been using pictures of my favourite game characters and adding effects and seeing how they look as profile pics. Here are some that I've been working on today: Solid Snake R&C Kratos Nariko I wanted to do one of Drake, and Nathan Hale, but I couldn't find pictures that worked well for Drake, and I couldn't find any pictures of Nathan Hale'...
Today is the first day of school for me, it was okay, I woke up early, got ready and sat at the computer for a bit, then left for school. I got there and met up with all my friends, gave out the gifts I had for them, and then we just waited for the bell to ring, it was really, really humid. So we wanted to get in as soon as possible. We didn't have any lessons today, just teachers handing out f...
Today's blog is about the games I've been playing recently, since my nephew got a PSP, I got him(and me!) a few games, Patapon, Ecochrome, and N+. He hasn't really been using it much, since his school started, so I've been spending some time with the PSP. I really liked all 3 games, although, I do hate the PSP, my thumb hurts after 30 minutes of play time, and it just doesn't feel natural to ho...
It's been a pretty lame week here, I'm not getting(paying for) any games until the end of October, any games I do get in that time should be from my brother. Nothing really has been happening, I'm still playing burnout, I thought it should have trophies by now! I invited a dude from my friends list, and we started doing some challenges, eventually we had 8 people in the game, and we were doing...
I downloaded some demos the other day, The Force Unleashed, and The Last Guy. They were okay, The Last Guy was way more fun though, I'd buy it if I could, it was funny, and seemed entertaining. The Force Unleashed, on the other hand, just felt "meh" to me, it was cool with all the Euphoria physics stuff-blowing the doors apart was cool- but the combat wasn't satisfying, and the targeting system...
Yes I think it has been a week since my last blog, I've been "absorbed" into doing other things and totally forgot about the gaming world for a few days. I've got this simulation game called NoLimits, and it's a coaster simulation, you can make any kind of layout you want. It's really hard to get the hang of, but it's a great time-waster. But now I'm done with it, and I can get back to normal b...
I got Siren yesterday. I need to stop buying games, because my account-which doesn't have much money in it because I've only been saving my monthly allowance since last year- has been taking a plunge since May, because I had to spend a bit to get my brother a gift, then I had to pay for my phone bill. That month, I wasted 4 month's worth of saving. Then in June, I had to buy new contact lenses-...
Well, if you don't know already, I'm not a big fan of horror games, mainly because I tend to get jumpy when I play horror games. Its less of a problem when I'm playing on consoles, when I'm 3-4 meters away from the tv. But it is a problem when I play on my PC. I played Bioshock on my PC, with headsets that blocked out all other noise, and I had the volume up a bit too much. Lets just say, that...
So yeah, it's been an okay week, but today was totally boring. My dad is on a business trip for a week, I decided not to go with him, my trainer-and good friend- is going to Italy for a week aswell, so I have to train with the other dude, who right now isn't answering my texts so I can't book a session with him until he texts back with the available times. I hate going to the gym alone. My mom...
I love Burnout, it's one of my favourite games. I haven't played it much the past week, but I put it in today just to see if I can get some other things done. Before today, I had found all the smashes, and all the billboards without the help of the Burnout Discovery thing on the criterion site. I didn't even know it existed until I went snooping around the site last week. I only had 4 jumps lef...
I might, it depends on the game really.
I beat Devil May Cry 4 a few days ago, and I'm thoroughly impressed with this game. Although a few bits felt cheap and repetitive, like having to beat each boss 3 times. I liked it, the cutscenes are amazing. My favourite is the one where Nero gets the Pandora-that one was epic! I don't think I'll be adding a full reveiw, I can't be bothered. But overall I really enjoyed this game, it's atleast...
So I arrived home at 3 AM last night, dead tired, and starving. I wish I ate the extra turkey sandwich on the plane. After a quick shower I got some sleep, and was woken up 5 hours later by my sister, because she can't find the friggin keys to the locks on the bags(which I hooked onto a ring in my backpack, and I told her where it was before we left Istanbul!) So now I'm still tired, although n...
This game is probably my most anticipated game of the yea r for me, everytime they release a new trailer for it, the hype goes up. I guess the combination of charming visuals and focus on user-generated content have struck a chord in everyone's heart. The new "dream" trailer(up on GT now), while not the best, still shows off how much you can do in the game. Also, anyone who watched the E3 Sony...
Hi, I'm Kilzombie, currently I own only a PS3, I used to have an Xbox, but it died. I love playing games, and they're the perfect time-waster. I'm usually the quiet type, never one to mess around with stuff I'm not familiar with. Normally, I like playing Action/Adventure games, I love games like Tomb Raider and Uncharted, and I always enjoy a good story. I'm not much of a online player, but I d...
