My copy of Okami I ordered and paid for more than 3 weeks ago on ebay after getting it somewhere else for cheaper and came a lot faster than this did.  But this one did have to go through Customs or something.

I know where I am going for all my import needs from now on anyway and it is definitely now that ebay seller.  If you would like to know who the ebay seller is so you should avoid him then, please PM me.

Now I have 2 copies of Okami and over £50 spent on them because of it.  Also, I asked for a refund several times for the ebay seller and never got a response until I opened a dispute and then tell me they shipped it.  Stupid idiot!

Hello guys, it is yours truly here once again!  I am just here to tell you that since two GS friends of mine, EightBit and Wesker have done their top ten games, I have decided that for my next video blog, I will show you what my top ten games in my collection are. 

My top ten games will cover different consoles due to the fact I have 13 of them and nearly 250 games (actually over 250 if you cound the expansion packs and that for certain games as separate titles and also the Zelda collector's edition).

Also, I don't think they are going to be in any order now since I can't really decide on what positions each game would be in but I might try and see if I can.  So stay tuned for this upcoming video blog that might be up later today or tomorrow at the very latest.

In other news, I broke my buying no more games policy since yesterday I went out and bought a PC game known as Dungeon Siege II.  Well, it was the deluxe edition that had the main game and its expansion, Broken World.  The price tag stated 19.99 but took it to the counter and it was actually 14.99.  This happened to me before with World of Warcraft so just goes to show how the employees there can't update prices for PC games they way they do with console games.

I only played about a half-hour of it but thus far I like it.  I never played the Diablo games now but I know by reviews it is quite similar to it but I can definitely say if you played Marvel Ultimate Alliance, then it is similar to that game so if you like that game then you should like this also (Denis, I am looking at you).

I haven't checked out the Crackdown demo yet since I don't leave my console on to download but should but I have heard good things about it that I am looking forward to checking it out.  Also, I haven't really played on the 360 or PS2 the last few days either.  Before you ask, NO it is not because of WoW and that I am actually becoming addicted to it, I am addicted to something you might say and it is my laptop.  I just love surfing the web, playing WoW, watching videos on it and be on it for hours on end.

And also, don't get angry Art and James but I haven't played Okami in a week or so.  I love the game and think its great but I don't want to sort of rush through it like I did with Zelda and Kingdom Hearts II and will play it every couple of days or so so I can enjoy it more and grow the lifespan of finishing it.

I will be on Live and that during the weekend to play some Saints Row of course and hopefully some Crackdown co-op with my friends on Live if the game is downloaded by then.

Until next time, this has been Darrogamer06 telling all of you to keep on gaming and to ROCK ON!! \m/

Hello once again.  This is Darrogamer06 providing you with a special video blog just showing you what my laptop looks like and all its little bits and bobs and the story behind getting it etc.

So enjoy.  Will provide some World of Warcraft footage using the webcam or FRAPS if I can somehow compress the video file since for 30 seconds, it was like 404 MB.  Let me know of any compression programs if you know some please.

Until next time, ROCK ON fellow Gamespotters!

Well, you will never believe what I got today? Well, if you been checking my last few blogs, then chances are you will.

Yes, I am proud to say I am now in possession of a new laptop, a laptop I was going to save up for and get when I had enough but luck is on my side when I got on today at a hefty price if I do say so myself but I think it is worth it just to play some great PC games like WoW of course and other ones I might want to try out like Spore and other ones perhaps.

The price of it was £1350 but I have 6 months to pay for it, which I will do since I have around 400 quid already and can pay it off and will pay more with the money I get throughout the months and also my birthday money will be going towards it so you can say it is a early birthday present.

So here are the specifications on the machine and it is what I wanted so let me know what you guys think:

Intel Centrino Duo 2 ghz processor
2 gb RAM
200 gb Hard Drive
512 Nvidia Geforce 7900 graphics card.
Windows Media Center 2005

Well, I am happy with this because it will run WoW just fine and thus can get back into it.  Its wireless meaning no ethernet cables to connect me to the Internet etc.  Well anyway, that is all I wanted to say.  Also I will be doing all my video blogs on this laptop from now on since it is better than the PC I use the other one for so until next time, ROCK ON!!

I believe my video blogs are getting worse quality wise, because I was watching my blog there a bit and my face is just all blurry and blocky etc. It is probably because of the crap quality of the webcam or something else.  Maybe I shouldn't used the best quality anymore in Windows Movie Maker.  I will try that out next time to see if anything changes.

Hey guys, what is up with all of you? It is Darrogamer06 here once again with another video blog now with an actual intro of some sorts and let me know what you think of it.

Nothing fabulous in this blog just going on about my week briefly, impressions on Lost Planet and more into my laptop plans.  Long once again but no credits. If anyone can actually do a cool intro for me if you do not like this one, then let me know thanks.

So, until then, keep on gaming, get good games now bad and ROCK ON!!

If you see my games I own collection, you will see a game called Goemon's Great Adventure for the N64.  Well, I do have this game but it was named differently here in the UK.  It was known as Mystical Ninja 2 Starring Goemon and that is not on Gamespot hence why that is in my collection.

It is the same game after all.

Hello people, it is Darro here with another blog.

I am not going to go through the usual bog-standard blog where I give you an update on what I have been playing the last few days but a certain thing I want to do for this year and hopefully I have the dedication and that to do it.

What is this?, you are saying.  Well, the truth is I want to save up money in order to get a good gaming laptop in order to play games that might interest me on the PC and there is a certain few this year I would actually like to check out.  The thing is, I have a laptop at the moment but it is 4 years old in March and it wasn't that great for gaming in the first place with the crappy integrated graphics card, low processor speed and RAM. I am not going to get rid of it, as it was a present for my 18th birthday and I still use it to go online etc to watch On The Spot live and other things.

Also, I really want to continue playing World of Warcraft because it is a great MMO game but it is not a game that would suck away my life, as I just couldn't do that. But it would be nice for me to play it anytime I want on my own computer and not my brother's (he doesn't mind me using his computer though).  Also, with the release of The Burning Crusade, I would like to try out the new races perhaps and check out the Outlands although I am nowhere near level 60 at the moment (level 21 or 22 I believe).  Its just, there is no point paying a monthly subscription where I can't play it for a majority of the week. Plus, I haven't played it in like a month or so led me to cancelling the subscription for the time-being and I don't think I was charge for the month of December so it could have been free perhaps or something.

So, I might not actually buy any more games over the next several months because there isn't anything I REALLY want out with the exception of God of War II, of course.  This will basically give me a great chance to go back to my big backlog of games and to finish some of them off then. I have no interest in getting a PS3 either and will wait until a handful of games that interest me come out before I consider getting it.  I am considering saving up for an Alienware laptop because they tend to be the best for pure gaming, as this laptop would just be really for that purpose.  I really want to get a gaming laptop to call my own and not a desktop PC since I want to only use it myself because I am basically the big gamer in the house anyway.

So what do you guys think of this task?  Do you think I can get it done if I put effort into it etc?  Let me know what you guys think and also, what specs would you think would be great for my gaming laptop?

I will keep you updated on what is occuring on my quest to get it so until then, this has been Darrogamer06 telling you to keep on gaming and to ROCK ON!!

Yes, it is I once again, Darrogamer06 and it is the start of another week and what will occur this week for yours truly and in the gaming world.

Well, if you are a fan or a big fan of a certain MMO out there, then you will know that tomorrow is the day that none other than World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade is released worldwide and I am sure it will be do VERY well considering that there are now 8 million players subscribed to WoW and it will only get bigger with the release of this expansion pack. 

I am not going to be apart of this though for a while because I just recently cancelled my subscription to the game not because it is taking over my life or anything like that now.  Its just I would like it if I can play it anytime I like on my own computer (when I get a good capable one) instead of on my brother's computer when he is away.  So for the time being, I won't be in the land of Azeroth and the new continent of Outland but hopefully will be back on it within the next year.

Well what has been going on in my gaming life? Well, if you seen the video blog I did last Friday, then you would know, I rented a game called Sonic The Hedgehog for the 360 and stated I would tell you what my thoughts on it are.  Well, at first, I thought it was a crap game but after playing a bit more of it, I actually thought it was pretty decent at best but it is definitely not a great game now by any means necessary.  The game's controls or whatever are somewhat sensitive for their own good and you will end up dying a lot of times because of stupid jumps or directional problems etc. 

I like the graphics in the game now and that is probably the best thing I can say about it.  I would not recommend buying this game unless you are a big Sonic fan or you want to take time in getting the points because you would be best to buy this game in order to get the points or rent it from an online rental service.

I am still playing Okami of course and still loving the hell out of it also.  The more I play it, the more I appreciate the time and dedication that Clover Studios put into this game and some people will say it is great and original while other people will say its just a very good Zelda clone.  Well you can respect both side's opinions anyway because the game does have Zelda aspects at the start but when you go through more of the game, it becomes less of a Zelda clone and more of a excellent original game. 

I love the graphics, the celestial brush amongst other things and cannot wait to play more of this beautiful, exquisite game.  As far as where I am currently at in the game? Just finished the Gale shrine, which you can say is the second dungeon in the game but wasn't really big enough to be called a dungeon in my opinion and beating Crimson Helm, who is was so damn easy to beat and I think I beat jimb0's time in the video he did of the battle. 

Also of course, I am still playing some Saints Row multiplayer (Blinged out Ride) with Denis, Andy and the crew and sad to say we did not really do well yesterday because we lost all the games that I was apart of and not sure if some of them played more of it when I left but gangs we played against were quite good and in some games, we almost won.  Still enjoy the game although you do get some cheap asses who take the chain to their base and just stay there meaning you have to go over and kill them but you kill them and their partners pick up the money etc and respawn meaning they have the advantage.

Also still playing Wario Ware: Smooth Moves and just love that game because of the way you use the Wiimote and for me, it has been the best use of the Wiimote thus far out of all the games that has been released and the score it got here on Gamespot shows it.

That is basically all that I have been getting up to.  I am actually thinking of doing another video review in the next week or few weeks and there are several games I am thinking of reviewing so here they are and you guys can vote as to which one you want me to review.  Here are the choices:

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves
Zelda: Twlight Princess
Gears of War
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2007
Kingdom Hearts II

So until next time, this has been Darrogamer06 signing out telling all you gamers to keep on gaming and to ROCK ON!!

Well guys what do you think of the new profile layout? I am just glad that I have a new layout now because previously, it is was a bit of a mess with a KH 2 banner and not even a proper blog header in Link.

But now, thanks to 2 people who will be named momentarily, I have now got an entirely new profile layout of the theme of Okami, a game that I am currently playing (and loving) at the moment.

So who did the layout for me you ask? Well, a big shout-out goes to jimb0 for doing the banner for me and I think it looks great anyway and now our banners are similar to one another but it is of the same game, which is awesome.

The second shout-out goes to dcgames for doing both my user icon and blog header and he did them the way I explained it, which I am really happy with. Also, special mention goes to Denis aka NeoJedi for recommending me dcgames in the first place.

So, let me know your opinion on the new profile layout? I think it is great and will have this one up for a few months yet until I am bored with it but that won't happen anytime soon.

EDIT: I see that Okami won IGN's Overall Game of the Year. I am sure 2 certain people might be happy with that. Glad to see they didn't go with an obvious one.
