Yesterday April 17 was my birthday. I turned 19. Ah yes, my final teen year. I got only a few things but Im proud with what I got. I got Command and Conquer the First Decade for the PC, its cool because it contains all the command and conquer games from the original to Generals Zero Hour. I also got Atari Classics Evolved for the PSP, its a fun game but the controls are really sensitive. And finally my final gift was a 10 dollar check. I really enjoyed what I got.

Ok heres my wish list for this Christmas:

A next gen console (A PS3 or 360)

with the next gen console I want these games

Ace Combat 6

Call of Duty 2, 3 and 4

Gears of War

Nascar 08

Medal of Honor Airborne

PSP games:

Daxter

Star wars Battlefront RS

Nascar

Wipeout Pure

Pursuit force

Finally other stuff other than video games:

Dogfights season 1 DVD

Shootout seasons 1 and 2 DVD

Drivers License

M1 Garand Rifle

I also wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Well, I finally got a job at a place called Marietta. Its a bottling factory. I will be making $8.25 an hour. The only thing I dont like about it is that it requires a lot of endurance because I will be working 12 hours a dayMonday through Thursday. Despite these conditions, I am glad I finally obtained a job. Now I canactuallyget a next-gen console. Oh I almost forgot, have a happy Thanksgiving.

Heres is my list of games that should have been more popular among gamers.

Psyconauts: This game is quite amazing. The fact that levels take place inside peoples mind is different. Sometimes change is better. Throw in a bunch of comedy and your in for a neat experiance. It is made by Tim Schafer after all.

Act of War: Direct Action: I dont see how people could have missed this one. Act of War I believe is much better than the Command and Conquer series. Act of War is an RTS where you can use real military units. As well as some sci-fi units. Some of the levels take place in America and you hardly ever see RTS games that have American levels. It also features some of the best real time acting. Maybe its the fact that a new company made this game is the reason it was not as successful as it shouls have.

Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War: This is a jet flying game for the PS2. Im very suprised that it did not do as well as it should have. The Ace Combat series has always been popular but this one was the least popular of them all. It features an epic storyline with real actors that are not bad. Unfortunatly, some reviewers such as Game Informer probably had a crash landing because they didnt appreciate it. Unfortunatly, many people look to the critics for info. If its a bad score, most gamers wont even rent it. Many people are missing out on this great game.

Commandos: Strike Force: I only played the demo for this game but I thought it was really good. But, it didnt even make the top 20 most selling games for the month it came out on. You play as a commando in WW2 and it takes place in Norway. There are stealth missions and how many WW2 games have stealth missions. Its a bit like a FPS Splinter Cell that takes place in WW2. Unfortunatly, Commandos did not appeal to the majority of gamers.

Star Trek Bridge Commander: This game lets you be the captian of a starship. You make all the desicions and commands. The ships also take real time damage. There has been a long line of bad Trek games but this one is really good. Plus, its made by Totally Games, which is the same company that created the successful X-wing and TIE FIghter series. There is also a bunch of mods avaliable to download for this game making your trek experience even better.

Do you agree or disagree with this list? Let me know. Also feel free to tell what games you felt that should have been more popular. Later on, I will makea listof games that I believeare overrated.

Well not exactly college, its a vocational school and I am gonna take a course in auto mechanics. But first, Im required to take a math and reading test so they can know if I know the basics. Heres hoping that I pass. Feel free to post comments of encouragement. Thanks.

My AC0 disc is so scratched now that some cutscenes dont even start up. Sometimes the hanger wont load. Has this ever happened to you? One of your favorite games ruined!

After the madness of moving out and moving in, I finally hooked up the computer and now im back. Thought I would remind you guys. Fell free to leave a comment. (Im low on comments from my previous blogs.)

On June 19 I will be moving so when that time comes I will be away from Gamespot for a few days. Feel free to give me any messages or blog posts. See ya later.

As an Ace Combat fan, this is really shocking. Apparently the news is that someone took a snapshot of a blockbuster compuer and on the screen it said that Ace Combat 6 will be on the 360. I sure hope this is not true. Is it for real or some kind of a hoax? Post what you think.

Soon to come out this year is Medal of Honor: Airborne and Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway. Im looking forward to playing them. Anyone have thoughts on these games? Post here.
