Now that I have my old computer back and theloaner computer is history, i've gotten addicted to one ofthe most timeless games i've ever played: Pharaoh. I used to be really into this game but after a while I lost interest. But every once in a while I pop the disc back in for old times sake and just get hooked. It's just addicting and it always takes me a few months to lose interest again. It's funny how I should be playing Bioshock or Guitar Hero, or Forza but I keep coming back toEgypt.

Speaking of Bioshock, I have about another hour or so tops left in the game and i'm pretty satisfied. I got some decent achievements the first time through, but didn't bother with audio diaries much, and could never find all of the power to the people stations. I'm also not sure what to do about the last little sister since I apparantely need one to open the door that Fontaine ran throughso i'm afraid to save it from being a little sister. I've saved all of them (except for the final one obviously)so I'm hoping to get that achievement out of the way.

As for other games, I've rented Forza in time for the gamespot tournament in October (I know I don't actually own the game yet, and am basically renting a game for an emblem. I don't care, I just want to be in another gamespot tournament.) and so far, I think it's a decent game, but i'm not really as blown away as the entirety of Gamespot seemed to be. But, I haven't played it much so maybe i'll be awed later on in the experience. I'm giving up on some of the guitar hero achievements such as 500,000 points on a song, or 5 starring everything on expert simply because that's never going to happen. I don't have the time or patience to become that good just for a few extra gamerscore. I am however going to try and complete expert mode (literally only 2 more songs to complete), finish Jordan on expert, and 5 star hard mode. After that I'm done with Guitar Hero II.

And that's pretty much all that has happened gaming wise. I know i'm not as here very much anymore, and i'm sorry if i'm not commenting in your blog. I have lots of work to do now that school has started and any time besides school/social life is spent playing games. I haven't completely abandoned Gamespot, so don't fret.

See you around Gamespot,
