End of Year Update

Been a while since I posted one of these. Anyways thought I'd update the few people I still know on here.

Well firstly a lot of new games have entered my collection. Since my last update I have gotten Gears of War 2, CoD: World at War, Red Alert 3, C&C 3: kane's Wrath, Infinite Undiscovery, Mirrors Edge, Pro Evo 2009, Fallout 3 and Fable 2. All thanks to a months pay, Xmas and the purchase of a replacement Xbox. So I reckon I'll give you a quick oppinion on each game.

Gears of War 2 - Big dissapointment for me. In trying to fix the ,multiplayer they disimproved it, its no longer fun for me and as for the campaign I found it a bit of a steep slope, started really good but ended on a huge low. I stopped playing this game a few weeks ago and don't plan to go back to it soon.

CoD: World at War - Have to say I'm impressed, the beta was a bit mediocre but I enjoy the main game a lot more. The campaign is challenging and exciting like any CoD and the online multiplayer is addictive. The zombie mode is a fun addition too

Red Alert 3 - Enjoyed the campaign on co-op immensly even if it was over a little bit sooner than I would have wanted. yet to give the multiplayer much of a go. But as a whole the game was a good buy.

Kane's Wrath - Played it a little bit only so far. I was unimpressed. The campaign seems to look like they were struggling for ideas and then obviously the mul;tiplayer is much the same as C&C 3

Infinite Undiscovery - Saving it for a rainy day :p

Mirrors Edge - Not played it much but it seems a decent game. Unique to say the least

PES 09 - Big improvement on 08. Really addictive as usual :D Some nice new additions to single player

Fallout 3 - Best game this year. Got addicted to it, until I finished it. Its what it says on the tin. oblivion with guns and I'm happy with that :D

Fable 2 - Bit of a dissapointment but still a decent game. Had more potential

As I said earlier I ahd to invest in a new 360, the old one was acting up too much for comfort. Anbd also in a few days I'll be investing in a new tv so I need a HDMI capable 360 and my old one wasn't.

As for life updates. I'm moving abck to ireland next wekk. Things her haven't worked out.

October Update

Well first things first I got my Xbox back :D Although since getting it back I haven't gotten to play it much. Finally started playing Alone in the Dark though after all these months since I bought it. I quite like it, its different to other games which is a nice change.Getting Fifa 09 tomorrow, quite excited as the demo was impressive, hopefully going to finally pick up a copy of Kane's Wrath too. Bad news is I found the PSP and its broken so no chance of making use of it :( But on the other hand I found out I'm owed quite a bit of money from my last job so once I get that I plan on buying a DS with Final Fantasy 3, FF 4, FF Tactics Advance 2 and Advance Wars. I've preordered Fable 2 and Gears 2, I wanted to preorder Red Alert 3 but Game weren't taking preorders for it yet. I''m tempted to preorder Fallout 3 too but I'm not sure whether I should leave it to Xmas or not yet.

September Update

Thought its about time I give an update. I've recently moved to my Dads in England. I've left school and am looking for a job. I'll sit my exams in June then hopefully head to Uni this time next year.

As far as gaming goes, I gave up clans when I left Ireland. I also had to leave my xbox behind as I had too much luggage :( So for the past month I've had to make due with Bad Company on the PS3. I'll be getting my Xbox back in 2-3 weeks, I can't wait :D. I hope to get Ninja Gaiden 2 and C&C 3: Kane's Wrath when I get it back as well as preorder Fable 2 and Gears 2. I'll be getting Star Wars: Force Unleashed for the PS3 on its release as well Fifa this month. I thought about getting Mercenaries 2 but decided to leave it till Xmas as I'll have enough to play for now.

I'm hoping to get more active on GS, hopefully join some unions.

Anyways thats it for now

Update

Been a while since I gave an update. I've been on my other profile now and again but I don't have many of you on my friends list. So yeah lets start of with a general update on my life.

I've left school a year prematurely but will still sit my exams next summer and hopefully end up going to university. The reason for this you may ask ?......I'm moving to England to live with me Dad and the reason for that well I've never really liked where I live. I also got a job about 3 months ago, lol needed some way to pay for my gaming addiction. I turn 18 in a months time and am so excited but have no idea what I a doing or getting for my birthday.

As for my gaming. I've moved clans yet again and am now with the Marines of Destiny. Even changed my gamertag to include xMoDx, also changed it from Sir Kopite to RedWolf. My gamerscore now stands at 21,685, haven't really gotten too many achievements as I am quite addicted to the online mode of Call of Duty 4. I bought GTA 4, Burnout Paradise and Lost Odyssey about a month ago but only got to play Lost Odyssey for the firts time today and Burnout Paradise is yet to be opened. My xbox is on the frits again :( and I think I'll be sending it away. Luckily I've recently gotten the urge to start playing my PS2 again which will keep me busy. Upon my last visit to my dads I discovered a PS3 :D so I created an online profile: El_Nino_IRL so add me if you get the chance. I should be a regular once I move over there. there is also an unused PSP which I plan to make use of for Crisis Core and War of the Lions.

Finally I think I will start to use this profile rather than my new one due to all the friends I have on here. I hope to ehar from you all soon. :p

Xmas Update

Hey people ! Its been a while since I posted one of these. I've missed you all ! So how've you all been ? Anything new ?

I myself have been great, still gaming away on my 360 which I didn't have for a month thanks to the dreaded red rings of death. But thats over and I'm looking forward to getting some new games for Xmas ! Which is less than 2 weeks away. Is everyone as excited as I am ? I'm getting an ipod, a ds and a few games for xmas. How about you ?

Anyways thats it for my update !

Final Fantasy 13 on the 360 !

Take that Sony fan boys ! Every day Xbox seems to get one of the so called PS3 exclusives. But this is the one that excites me the most. Hopefully we get Resident Evil 5 soon. That would really wipe out the need for me to buy a PS3

PS2 dead ?

So many people here are eargerly awaiting march so they can get a PS3 and lay their PS2 to rest. I for one ain't as not only do I not plan to get a PS3 til Xmas but also look at all the quality games still to come out on PS2, for RPGs alone you have FF 12(Its a final fantasy, need I say more ?) and Rogue galaxy(A game from the makers of Dark Chronicle !).

New Final Fantasys !

So many new Final Fantasy games should be coming out in the next year or so in Europe and I for one am so excited.

First of all we have the DS remake of Final Fantasy 3, which looks great and although I don't own a DS, this may convince me to buy one.

Second we have the long awaited Final Fantasy 12, the new battle system looks sweet to me and I can't streess enough how exited I am.

Next we have Final Fantasy 13 and Final Fantasy 13 Battle and although I myself don't plan to get a PS3 for a long while, I know friends of mine who will and will also definitely get this game.

Then Final Fantasy Crisis Core, the prequel to Final Fantasy 7. This game centres around the story of Zack and Soldier. A prequel to the best Final Fantasy of all time has to be good.

Next we have Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War, the remake of Final Fantasy Tactics. A game which never had a European release but I had the luck of playing due to a friend of mine. I can't wait to own a copy of this game myself especially in handheld form.

Next is Final Fantasy Tacics Advance 2: The Sealed Grimoire, another game that might convince me to buy a DS.

And lastly is the sequel to Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The crystal Bearers on the Nintendo Wii, a console which I plan to buy very soon.

All in all I think I'm gonna enjoy the next year or so with all these quality Final Fantasy Titles.
