Should I go and buy Tales of Vesperia or should I get Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess?? Those both look like very good games and I played the demo for Tales and borrowed TP on the Wii last year from a friend. I really wanna get to play Tales since I see a bit of my friends got that game but I always keep forgetting to buy TP and it's still $50...it's not entirely a big issue since I got school and mostly I'll be gaming on the weekends. and I'm not buying both cause I'm saving up for Gears 2 and Fable II and possibly Fallout 3 so yeah.
Also, I'm changing my name to my usual alias, Blueprint12. I'm getting really tired of the General Ivanski alias since mostly everything else I use (last.fm, xbl, etc.) has the Blueprint alias so I'm thinking of making a new account...I don't really care about the reviews I made, I can just score them and the emblems are cool and all, but I'm not that much of a GS freak to worry about that.

I'll still use this account for a few days then I'll migrate to this new one, I'll track you guys down, don't worry.
I went to school today and got my schedule changed since I wanted to get out of a class I didn't even want to be in. Then I went to the DMV today, took my 2nd permit test, I was dead nervous taking the test and I ALMOST failed it the 2nd time but I barely passed and I'm more than happy that I only missed 7 (8 or less = pass). I'm also going to go see The Dark Knight tonight. I already seen the movie but so what?? This movie is so good I'll see it 100 times and still love it. 5/5 star movie.
In the video game world, last night I played Gears co-op with a friend and I'm on Act 3 on Insane...Co-Op on video games make things really fun. Soul Calibur IV, GTA IV, and some Gears are taking up my online entertainment. I'm also on Mission 18 on Devil May Cry 4, but I'll finish that later this week so I can finish a favorite game of mine before school starts. I'm planning to review Ninja Gaiden II, Devil May Cry 4, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto IV later on this week too, I won't promise I will since I'm lazy to review but I'll try to at least.
Music wise, I've been having Ice Cube's Lethal Injection spinning a lot on my cd player in my room. I would have to say this is a really underrated album. Can't say for sure it's his best but it's a damn ****c. Mostly people talk about AmeriKKa's Most Wanted and Death Certificate (which are really amazing) but Lethal Injection was a big turning point in Ice Cube's career. It's a lot more different than his other albums. It has a mix of hardcore underground c***cs (Really Doe, What Can I Do [the eastside remix with Ali Shaheed Muhammad on the reissue of the cd is my favorite version], Ghetto Bird, and Lil A** Gee) and commercial hits (You Know How We Do It, Bop Gun (One Nation Under A Groove)). IMO, it is the most replayable Ice Cube album since the original album (not the reissue with the bonus tracks) has 12 tracks and I prefer shorter albums over longer ones. Anyways I hope I'm not the only one who feels this way about this Ice Cube album and others can share their opinions of this album here. Oh and I think I might actually buy Game's LAX album, I'm having a really good feeling about it.
Anyways yup, otherwise, summer goes by too quick and I always would wish it would be longer but oh well, what can I do?
How these producers can sample a really dope song. Sampling is something done a lot in Hip-Hop music and these producers got taste. The actual songs that are sampled are sometimes just as dope and sometimes even better.
Here's a great example
Warren G - Get U Down (Feat. Ice Cube, B-Real, & Snoop Dogg)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1Xo8r4V3dQ
War - Don't Let No One Get You Down
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kHbr3uxO2Y
Genius huh?? Warren G isn't the only producer that does this either. Premo, Pete Rock, Kanye West, J Dilla, etc.
Anyways, if you'd like, post some of your favorite Hip-Hop samples :)
...stuff coming out, its as if they're saying "GTA IV, Ninja Gaiden II, BF: Bad Company, and all these other titles are proving successful but there's even MORE groundbreaking games coming!!" Seriously though, there are so many new titles coming out that I am just currently being impatient to get.
Damn, I mean look at all these titles (not all titles showed on E3)
Resident Evil 5
Final Fantasy XIII
Gears of War 2
Fable II
Fallout 3
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Midnight Club: Los Angeles
Soul Calibur IV (coming soon!!!!!)
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows
Rock Band 2
Too Human
Street Fighter IV
Tales of Vesperia
and many more!! Plus there's STILL games on my wish list that came out that I haven't gotten yet (ex. Devil May Cry 4)
I also really want the new update to come out. At first, I wasn't sure about the avatar thing but I can say it's kinda cool and I like how there's many different fashion clothing on there so it may (hopefully) suit my tastes. The live party is gonna be a really new experience and the netflix thing will be too! To put it down simply, I CAN'T WAIT
...for free...came in the mail today, just got back from Knotts Berry Farm too (YAY that was fun lol)
I got it off of that one Goozex site I made a blog about a long time ago...this site actually works and depending on who is sending it to you, you're all good...before this, I was supposed to get Shinobi but I didn't receive it at all so I reported a negative feedback and I got my 100 points refunded...when you first sign up, you get 100 for free. But anyways, this is a real c**ss*c game. I already had this for the Gamecube btw but I wanted the Xbox version just for Spawn. Overall, Spawn is a very cool character to play as. He's got so much cool attacks and I love his grabbing attacks. The graphics definitely crap on the Gamecube version and runs better but the controller takes a while to learn and I give the GC one the controls. Spawn is up there with Link, I honestly can't pick who I like better and I love Legend of Zelda too. But anyways, if you either, never played SCII, want to play as Spawn, or just want to collect all versions of SCII, then definitely go for it!!

Oblivion: Game of the Year Edition
The Roots - Things Fall Apart
I havent played the game yet or listened to cd but I cant wait to do both...I heard Oblivion is a 360 cla**ic and one of the best RPGs on the system, should be real fun :D As for Things Fall Apart, I heard its a cla**ic album for sure.
I haven't really played the game for a very long time but I started to play the game on Friday after a long break and usual GTA IV and Ninja Gaiden II playing time. I was pretty bored of COD4 a long time ago and then GTA IV came out and I ditched that game a lot since then...but now I'm back on it and I'm having fun again and I'm still owning pretty hard at the game...I would of thought I'd suck now but I'm still maintaining.
I definitely will still be playing lots of GTA IV and some Ninja Gaiden II though. :)
Ok so I've played the GRiD demo on Xbox 360 and I must say this game is actually pretty fun...I haven't played a really fun racing game on the system since Burnout Revenge...PGR4 and Forza 2 are decent but too sim for me...GRiD is like balanced out between arcade and sim...it's very speedy but at the same time, crashes can really impact your car. But the game overall is very enjoyable and I'm thinking of getting it, especially since I don't really have many racing games on 360 to look out for, well maybe Midnight Club LA too.
Other than that, I'm thinking of getting Oblivion and Guitar Hero II later on...I just wanna ask though, is Oblivion (Game of the Year Edition) worth buying?? What is it that makes it exactly very fun?? I usually want Guitar Hero II cause I like the soundtrack better but I think that can wait. I also gotta find a job so I can buy a PS3 for MGS4.
