Banjo is back and he looks better than ever. I was a bit skeptical on how Rare decided to design him but in motion it looks fine and makes me feel worry free. Now I hate all these hypocrites out there who say Gears 2 is just Gears 1.5 but trashes the new Banjo because it actually changes things up. Now I'm a bit skeptical but I trust Rare and even if its not a traditional platformer I'll buy it and have just as much fun. The game looks stunning and the trailer I saw left me wanting more. Day 1 purchase and I hope it actually ships this holiday season as planned

Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise is exactly what I wanted from Rare. It is more of like a 1.5 but thats perfectly fine. Rare needs to perfect the game first and they are doing it by introducing coop and allowing you to have A LOT more space in your garden. These were my only two major complaints in the game. This will also be a Day 1 purchase but I'm a bit skeptical on it actually releasing in September but if it does - best gaming year ever.

Grand Theft AUto IV

So I finally beat the game. Story was amazing but I wouldn't say it had the best story in any game ever created. The choices between killing one person or the other wasn't as big as Jeff (previous Gspot employer) made it out to be. I didn't have to take a break and decide who to kill because both people (both times) were not the best characters. However, characters like Roman, Bruce, Jacob, Florence, and others made the story so much better. The story ontop of a killer soundtrack, killer graphics, relatively solid online modes and the endless possibilities in sandbox games makes GTA IV one of the best games I've ever played. I'll be writing a review eventually.

Blue Dragon

I am going for all the achievements. Blue Dragon is one of the hardest games to get all the achievements because they take so damn long. I just finished leveling all 5 characters to lvl 99 in all shadow ****s (9 times each :cry:). Now that that's done all I have to do is lvl each character to level 99 and get 1 mil gold. The gold is easy and I'm already at lvl 82 for all the characters so it should only take me another 10 hours max but most likely 5-7.

New Purchase - Geist - New $4.99

Also, just to let you know I usually rush my blogs and don't really proofread so I may not make sense or make alot of spelling/grammar mistakes.
