The Second Coming

Well I'm back on Gamespot now. Alot has changed since I was last here in January 2008, the site looks alot better and there appears to be a whole new staff running the place. In the next weeks I hope I find all the new features and slip right back in as though I never left.

Well firstly a lot has changed with myself since I was last here. I've moved away from home, sharing a house with a friend and I've got an excellent new Graphic Design job. I'm learning to drive, as of now I've had 19 lessons and have my driving theory test booked for October 21st 2008, then my final test hopefully after that. I've played quite a lot of new games, I've bought quite a lot of new 360 games and I've also got a whole new PC.

So I'll start with my new PC as theres not too much to say about it. below are the specs:

AMD Athlon XP 64bit 6400+ 3.2ghz Dual Core
4GB of Corsair 800mhz 6400
Nvidia XFX 9600GT XXX Edition 512MB
2 x 500GB SATAII HDD's
Mobo: Gigabyte GA M57SLI-S4
700watt Eazycool PSU

and I've gotten a Logitech Wave cordless Keyboard and Mouse desktop set and a Samsung T220 22" Widescreen 1680x1050 Monitor to top it all off. Unfortunatly I don't have nearly as much time to you use it though due to work and life etc.

So onto 360. I've gotten GTA4 and completed it, Battlefield Bad Company which I don't enjoy the campaign at all so I spend all my time in that game on Multiplayer. I've also bought a lot of other games I missed out on. I'll do another blog post in a little while about my 360 gaming in more detail.

In other gaming news I've been sampling SPORE, Crysis, Crysis WARHEAD and LEGO Batman, all fairly decent, just waiting on Farcry 2 now for my PC. I also finished Zelda Twilight Princess during the summer on my gamecube. I believe I finished it with 44 hours+ of gameplay. Such an amazing game, hopefully I will be able to play it again one day, on wii with the wiimote.

So thats pretty much me getting myself back upto speed with blog and gamespot. I still need to finish some older games, but with Fable 2, Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, etc coming out fairly soon, I will struggle. Games I want to finish are Bioshock, Mass Effect, Orange Box (HL2, HL2:E1 & HL2:E2), PGR4, Oblivion, GRAW2, Rainbow Six Vegas 1, Viva Pinata, Crackdown and possibley Bad Company single player. So until next time folks, peace out!
