In honour of Ryan Davis

So my half term holiday is winding down and I really don't want it to end but it's been great fun while it lasted. I've been playing World of Warcraft and I'm now level 44 with a mount. I've also been playing Halo 3, Guitar Hero 3, Animal Crossing: Wild World, Pokemon Diamond Version and even a little Wii Sports (just because I have a 360 doesn't mean I don't still love my Wii). Although I said the next game I would buy would be Burnout Paradise I'm seriously considering getting No More Heroes for the Wii, there aren't many games of that quality on the system.

Now on to all the wonderful bits of news this week. At least one piece of good news is that Ryan Davis is still on the net and has his blog 'Boosh!' here, great so see him keep going. The sales figures for January are also out and the 360 seems to have been affected badly by shortages although the PS3 is catching up with the Wii; granted there are still Wii shortages but this massive flood in PS3 sales seems like people are just snapping up consoles in light of the situation with Blu-Ray without thinking for 5 seconds, then again look at all the people who bought the Wii on impulse. It has also been announced that there will be a new Guitar Hero entirely based around Aerosmith and I don't like the sound of this, either the developers have sold out or they are making a long line of these games and the problem with that is.. Well do you remember all those minor Sims 2 expansions, it feels like that is what's happening with this game, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith could very well be the equivalent of The Sims 2: Holiday Party Pack, but I'm not gonna make my full mind up before the games even released of course.

But this week saw some news that in my opinion is so great I not only gave it its own paragraph but actually extended the length of my blog, I know, shocking stuff :o . It seems that Will Wright's outstanding creation Spore is almost finished and the game is looking as great as it did when he first presented it to us. I've been excited about few games in my life as much as I have about Spore and after a torturous delay the masterpiece is almost done. If you haven't seen Spore yet I strongly advise you to read up on it, unfortunately I can't get all that excited yet as even the US has been given an early September release date. There has also been some strange things said about formatting, working out precisely what platforms Spore will be on is a bit of a mystery, as Wright originally said apart from PC the only home console he would be bringing it too was the Wii, as that was the only true next-gen console. But we also know it's coming out for DS and 'all next-gen consoles' as EA described it.

Anyway thanks for reading for another week. Shoutout to Edpeterson, Zxv33, Fishdalf and my WoW guild Excelsior (on Nagrand). Finally I'll leave you with Smooth Few Films The Over-Achiever.
