I have been wanting to write some kind of review at my G25 but I've been busy playing games and I also have been concentrating little bit also on my girlfriend. Yes I still have a girlfriend :P:D Oh and I have been spending time with DMC4 :) I did beat it once already and started to play it second time trough :P I promise to write better blog post soonish!
Be nice and have fun ;)
Okay, my little trip is now over. Doctor said everything was fine so thats is good thing :) But then I did go some stores and this is the result:
Games:
- Conan (PS3)
- Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 (PS3)
Both were 30 euros so 40 euros less than normal! :) I didn't find any good DS games (cheap ones). I didn't find mario 64DS :(
Manga:
- Vampire Hunter D, vol. 1
- Fullmetal Alchemist, vol. 12 & 13
Movies:
Rentun Ruusu (The Rose of the Rascal)
Kivenpyörittäjän Kylä (The Last Wedding)
Mr. Bean, 10 Year Anniversary, vol. 1,2,3
In the end if did only spend about 100 euros! I was going on a rampage so I did have to stop because all kinds of manga and other things caught my eye so I could have spend hundreds and hundreds euros. :P I talked little bit about new burnout (PS3) game with one girl at the gamestop. She did tell me how good it is and ect ect. It's always little bit weird to talk about games with a girl :P I have one friend(girl) who don't play much games but talks about games but everybody else don't even want to hear anything about games... oh well...
Tomorrow is my first trip in a long time to the city central. It's about 2 months when I last time visited there... I'm planning on buying some manga, games, books and comics :) I'm trying to find some good DS games... I have long wanted to play Super Mario 64DS again so if I find it cheap somewhere it would be nice :) and also new advanced wars would be pretty good investment... But until tomorrow. I also have to see doctor. It's nothing really, I have to a normal check up. I will tell what I have bought :) (even if you don't want to know :D)
I have been very busy because I have been testing my G25 :D:P I will write somekind review in week or three... But I can say this now: If you like driving games and you are looking good racing wheel. Buy Logitech G25! It isn't perfect but almost! But more about this device later.
I hope you all are healthy and having good time when playing games! :)

I haven't bought so many games this month. One reason is because there isn't so many interesting games out there and second is that I did have so many games that I haven't finished so I have tried to finish those ones first because in coming months there is so much games to be released :)

I have wanted good racing wheel for long time and this one got my attention some time ago but now I got it 100 euro's cheaper! Total cost was 200 euro's(!!!!) but It was worth it! :D;) I have owned lots of different kind of racing wheels but ALL has broken down! I think this one will be different, not as much plastic and more stainless steel! Unfortunately I have to wait until GT5 Prologue comes out and then I can fully use G25 on my PS3. Okay there is Nascar and Ridge racer 7 but these games doesn't interest me. If I can't wait I will buy Nascar if I find it very cheap! (max20- 30 euro's) But When Gran Turismo 5/Prologue comes; I know that I will be in heaven! :D;) You can find official site here

Magazines Bought:
Game Of The Month:
Uncharted: Drakes Fortune (9/10)
I was pretty skeptic about this game. I don't know really why… But I decided to buy this and when I got into my living room sofa and started playing. It was amazing! I was surprised how good game was almost gone through my hands. Graphics, story and sound are great, but maybe the best part is the voice acting and the animation of the characters. Biggest downside is the shooting part. Killing pirates is great and very well done but there is too much shooting and not enough adventuring. I really liked the adventuring and little puzzles (Puzzles were too simple!). I am very action oriented guy but at this game I did want to see more adventuring.

Question Of The Month:
What is yours top3 games that you are waiting in these couple months?
Mine:
1. Devil May Cry 4(about 9 days still… )
Tried the demo and I instantly did fall in love :D Music is just right for the game, graphics are nice and everything feels just right.
2. Gran Turismo 5/Prologue
My new G25 will perfect for this game :D I watched lots of videos people playing GT5 Prologue with theirs G25 and it looks so… FUN :D:D:D
3. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots
I'm not big MGS fan but this has caught my attention. I like that MGS4 is little bit more action oriented. Will this be last MGS? I don't know… If I remember correctly Kojima did say that also on MGS3… So we'll see :)

Everything seems pretty ok so I have pretty high hopes for this game! Here is the original review. And If you are interested on MGS4 you should check this page. When I have DMC4, I will be waiting MGS4! Game looks so amazing! Must have if you own PS3!
I've been playing spending time again with games. :) Mostly time has gone with "Uncharted: Drakes Fortune" :) Little while ago I was not going to buy this game or buy it some time much much later. Well... world is strange and I bought it Tuesday and been playing it when I have the chance. I have played it now about 5h and it's about 85% of the game. Game is great! And i'm thinking giving it 9, but it could have bigger score but there is some "problems". I don't say this very often but game has too much shooting! I love the adventuring side of the game and doing little puzzles but it is stupid that you shoot enemies over every corner. But game is beautiful, characters are great and game sounds good. Especially voice actors are maybe best ever! But I will be playing and putting my review up someday... :)
I downloaded a Devil May Cry 4 trailer at the PSN and it did kick ass! :P:D Now it's my number 1 waited game in these couple months! :D
I also remembered that Winter-een-mas is coming again! (25.1.2008-31.1.2008 :P) It is holiday for gamers and if you don't know this one go check it here. :) It's all about playing games :P I will be cutting this one short so keep on playing and have fun! :)
