Hello, fellow Gamespotters. Darrogamer06 bringing you just a regular text blog on how my weekend is going and that.

Well, at this moment if everything occurs according to plan, my household will have the all mighty, the all powerful, the conquerer of consoles, the rip-off of rip-offs. Yes, people, it is none other than the Sony Playstation 3! Before you go all over me saying you sold out because of what I said about the PS3 and all that before. I am not the one getting it and no, it ain't my mother getting it for me or anything like that. It is none other than my spendthrift of a brother, Christopher who is getting it.

You can say I am both happy in a way and just annoyed. Happy that I didn't need to get it myself or get my mother to waste the big bucks on it. Annoyed that my brother is wasting over 400 quid on a console that has basically no WOW-factor games at the moment and that it is less powerful and more expensive than the US/Japanese version of it. Well, maybe he will change his mind at the last second but I doubt that. As for the games he is getting, he is getting Virtua Tennis 3 and something else (hopefully Resistance or Motorstorm) and I believe another controller. Knowing him, he will probably get something like Fight Night or something along those lines. He is trading in his old slim PS2 towards it. So, my journey into the next-gen or current-gen now is complete with the Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 in the household.

In other news, I have been playing God of War II and I have not come to the part yet where it is supposed to screw up on you but I stated I will let you know if everything turns out alright so stay tuned for that. As for the game itself, it is just full of action-packed, gorefest awesomeness. I loved the first game to death basically and this one turns it up but not by a whole lot since the first one was so good but it does have better graphics, some cooler enemies and of course, awesome kill animations. The scenery in the game is just breathtaking and certain parts are just bloody massive in that you just have to stare in wonder for a moment and say to yourself "If this is on the PS2, how much better will it be on the PS3?" or somewhere along the lines of that. As far as where I am at, Hall of Antropos, which I think is like around 2 thirds into the game maybe less. But it is awesome and if you loved the first one, then you will love this one just the same.

Symphony of the Night came out this week on XBLA and of course, being somewhat of a Vania fan and wanting to play this game since I loved the GBA and DS ones, as they have this one to thank since it was the one that started the whole Metroidvania theme. Personally, thus far I am having a blast and it is a great game even if it is 10 years old and you can't say that about a lot of old games. Some people I know on here have been disappointed with it, as they expected more from it what with all the praise this game has got over the past 10 years. In a way, I am a bit disappointed too but I still think it is a great game and the music is awesome.

Yesterday, I played some Rainbow Six Vegas online with my good buddy Denis, Rich and Ryan and we played co-op story and some team sharpshooter for a couple of hours until I got disconnected from Xbox Live for some reason. I have to say that game is really a lot of fun playing 4-player co-op and the game looks gorgeous as well especially looking at Vegas from the helicopter. I would like if more people I talk to on GS had this since this game supports 16 players online while Gears is half that and there are waiting lists for that sometimes for pete's sake.

Anyway, that is really all I have to say now. Thanks for the comments to my last Darro's Delights and don't forget leave questions about Psychonauts for this week's episode. Until then, keep on gaming and ROCK ON!!

EDIT: Well, my brother indeed got his PS3 along with Virtua Tennis 3, Resistance and an extra controller. Well have been playing it for the last hour and a half or so and Virtua Tennis 3 is a good tennis game anyway but pity there is no online.  Like seriously if Top Spin can have it, why can't this.  Was going to try some Resistance online but had to download an update, which took ages only for it to screw up at the 90 percent mark and had to do it all over again and just said, "Screw this, let's play co-operative!" Played the first 3 missions I believe and thus far, its a pretty intense game although quite hard. So going to play some more of that over the week and see what online is all about.  So, anyway that is my first experience with the PS3.  Will probably have a video or so about it sometime over the next week or so stay tuned and take care.
