Because my life has been busy and it will be busy... Today I went and looked some cars, and I did find perfect car! I wont tell what it is until i'm sure I will get it ;) But my monthly blog is very simple because all of... you know... but I hope you still enjoy!

Acquisitions

Games Bought

- GTAIV (PS3)
- Genji: Days Of The Blade (PS3)
- Stranglehold (PS3)

New game shop opened and they sold Genji (new!) only in 14 euros and Stranglehold also in 20 euros. Genji looks good but camera angles are sometimes just bad! Stranglehold is… not very good… it is okay but that's it. Dialog is stupid, graphics are bad even if game uses unreal 3 engine. But shooting is fun and how you can kill people. More about GTAIV is below ;)

Movies / TV-Series

- Kingdom Of Heaven (2 Disc Deluxe Edition)
- The Man With One Red Shoe
- The Fast Show Season 1

- Harry Potter & The Order Of The Phoenix (2 Disc Special Edition)
- Transformers
- Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin Uncut DVD Box
- Team America
- Metropolis (2 Disc Special Edition)
- Simpsons, Season 9
- Eragon

If I remember correctly I mentioned that I don't buy movies so much nowadays. But this month has been very movie oriented :P I'm very happy that I finally bought Ginga… DVD box! :) I have been wanting this one many years but some reason I haven't managed to buy it until now… It was cheaper than normal. Now 49 euros (usually 79.90 euros)

Manga / Comics

- .Hack/Sign vol. 4
- Bleach vol.1 & 2
- Naruto vol. 4
- School Rumble vol. 6
- Vagabond vol. 1

Again I started new serie :P It seems that I start new serie every month :P .Hack/sign manga ended... Not very good. I have watched Bleach anime and I have liked it very much! Manga don't disappoint me (not very big surprise! :P )

Magazines & Books

- Pelit
- Pelaaja
- GTAIV Guidebook

I found GTAIV guidebook at gamestop and it was only 14 euros. Normally it is over 20 euros so I thought why not. It has all the missions and how to complete those and book also has all the extra missions, unique jumps and "flying rats" places.

Electronics

- Kingston 4gig USB memory
- Maxtor 500gig HDD
- Western Digital 320GB HDD

I was running out of space on my PC and PS3 so I did have to some upgrading. On my PS3 I would want bigger drive but prices go very high when you past 300gig mark. But I'm very happy with my 320gig :)

Games Played

- GTAIV (PS3)
- Stranglehold (PS3)
- Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker (DS)
- Genji: Days Of The Blade (PS3)
- Haze demo (PS3)
- GRID demo (PS3)
- Dragonball Z: Burst Limit demo (PS3)
- Ironman demo (PS3)
- Overlord: Raising Hell (PS3)

Lots of demos tried this month. Haze was bad, also Ironman (super bad!) and Overlord was okay… But I really did like Dragonball Z: Burst Limit! Game looks great, I really like the original voice actors, Controlls were little bit weird somehow, but I really did like the demo :) I'm definitely going to buy this game! GRID was… okay. Game looks good but it is really arcade, It feels more arcade than DiRT. I'm probably going to buy this game but when it is on sale.

Game Of The Month

GTAIV (PS3)

I'm sure that this wasn't surprise for anyone? :D I haven't enjoyed GTA since Vice City. I did like the time period and the characters. San Andreas was big disappointment! Bad characters, story, ect. About GTAIV I wasn't sure until I did clocked about 8-10hours. Then the game did hit me like ton of bricks! I finished the game in 32hours and 7minutes.

Game Reviewed

- DarkSector (PS3) = 8.5/10
- GTAIV (PS3) = 9.5/10

This was hard to decide. It was choice between 9-10. GTAIV brings lots of good elements to the genre. Like the covering system, new graphics, better characters ect. Like you already know I have given 9.5. Why not 10? I haven't given any game full 10 in my reviews and I don't give this game because it doesn't deserve full 10. It has some problems which stops me to give it full 10. Like car handling. It isn't any better, AI is better than previous games but sometimes it gives a f*** to reason and there we go again… so some problems but still maybe a game of the year…(?) ;)
