Evening all, how you doing out there in Gamespot Land?  I thought I would sit down this humid evening and bash out my latest entry in the Chronicles of Matt(ick?)...

Tonight, I was just looking to beat my chest a bit and make noise about the fact that I've finally broken 4000 for my X-Box Live Gamerscore.  I'm actually pretty happy, as I've made some leaps and bounds over the past few months, heading from about 2500 to over 4000 in a (relatively) short period of time.  :)

Several Games helped me out here, but mainly Lego Star Wars 2, Marvel - Ultimate Alliance and Gears of War.  I've thoroughly enjoyed playing (and finishing) each of those Games, and I think I may have reached a turning point in my Gaming career when I can actually focus on ONE Game until I finish it.  (Surprising but true...  *grin*)

So I've decided to take a (brief) break from my 360, and move back to my PS2.  I'm reading some disturbing rumours about Backwards Compatibility issues for the PS3 in playing PS2 Games which is upsetting me.  (It's the whole X-Box 360 compatibility thing all over again, just on something made by Sony this time...  :()  So I'm not quite as excited about the 23rd of March as I was. 

In the meantime, I've been playing Okami a lot - about seven hours in now, and I've just beaten my first big boss type creature by painting it into submission with lots of vines.  Thoroughly enjoying the gameplay and the graphics.  The characters are interesting enough, and the challenges of painting my way out of trouble continue to impress me.

If you've never played Okami, I'm gonna recommend you check it out.  I don't think I'm too far into it just yet, but I've managed to clear out several cursed zones and am doing my best to complete all the lil' quests I keep getting.  :)

NEhow, I should get some sleep now as it's late and I'm kinda tired.  I'll chat with you all another night, K?  In the meantime, don't forget to...

GAME ON!  :D
