short blog just to say merry christmas to everyone here on gamespot.

i got my 360 and am loving it add me my gamertag is alexstealth

PEACE

On friday I played Sneak King at robs house, it was funny/creapy but it got repetitive... so yesterday I bought Pocket Bike Racer because I felt like it for some reason. I might get sneak king later on for fun but from what I played it got boring.

Still havent played anymore FF12 but I probably will today.

I got PGR 3 for xbox 360 tonite when I went to the local mall with my buddy rob (r_ross9013).  I got it used for 19.99 canadian and I opened it up and theres not a single scratch... looks like out of the box condition. I was pretty happy.

We also noticed a Wii demo station set up so we played some Wii sports. Rob really enjoyed it and we were there forever not giving anyone else a chance to play. It was awesome.... nothing else really to say but yeah fun day.

I have not played any Final Fantasy 12 for a while but will get back into it and keep you posted.

Well, im gonna go watch the rest of the leaf game.

PEACE

The Wii was pretty good. There was some pros and cons about it so let me get right down to business.

Pros:

Fun to wave the controller around

Unique style of gameplay

Nice dashboard to choose what you want to do

Wii Mote feels just right in your hand

A fun experience

Cons:

Graphics not much better than gamecube at all

My hand started sweating non stop after just minutes of playing

RED STEEL SUCKS BALLS

lol

Arm kills just after one sitting

Cursor too sensitive sometimes at the main menu but you can probably change that in the config we did not get into that though

CONCLUSION:

It's different and im sure it will be good in the future depending on what goes on for them. Right now their games are O.K, Zelda is pretty fun and Wii sports is alright. My arm kills after just playing it for a while and my friend Ian and me both had sweaty hands in just minutes after playing. The pros and cons I wrote were just my first impressions. I might change my mind later but who knows..... If I was ever to buy it it would be in a few years. It would be fun to play with family and friends but thats all I get out of it. The Wii Market was done nicely from what I saw and it offered popular games such as Mario 64 for 1000 Wii Market points... It met my expectations, and I didnt expect any better. Only times will tell,

That is such a good deal and now I can't wait for x-mas..... but for now i'll just settle with Final Fantasy XII and Splinter Cell...

Well, today after school I made my decision. That decision involved setting back my XBOX 360 fund from $420 Canadian down to $350 Canadian. This is all because I bought THE GAME I have been anticipating for a while. that game is none other than... drum roll please...

FINAL FANTASY XII

Thats final fantasy 12 for all you who don't know roman numerals, or just live under a rock. Yes, it did set back my fund for 360, but it was well worth it. I mean I have been a huge final fantasy fan ever since I got hooked on Final Fantasy VII (7). On the 360 note again, it does set me back but I will still have enough for the package I am getting that comes with Ghost Recon. It really just sets me back from getting an extra 360 game for a while. But hey, let's think positive...

Final Fantasy is really good so far, im about 2 hours into the game and it has had a lot of amazing videos that display graphics better than some 360 games. So anyway, I was introduced to a Character named Vaan and he is an orphan who escaped from his part of the country that was destroyed. (It is still sketchy but hard to explain). Yeah soooo I will explain in better detail later.

So I got home, went down to my local EB Games and saw the collectors edition for $69.99 Canadian and the Regular Edition for $59.99 Canadian. I was in a hurry and only had $70 bucks on me so I got the regular edition. I dont mind because the collectors has a cool case and texture but the regular shows off the cover art more. ANYWAYS enough about that all I have to say is its good.

On the right is the collectors edition and the left is the regular edition.... just so you have and idea.

But yeah other than that I will be away from gamespot for a while playing the game but feel free to leave comments.

PEACE

short blog post to let everyone know that i have $360 dollars towards my xbox 360 so far as it was my birthday around last week. im almost there! i cant wait.

bye gamespot

WOAHHHH!!!! My first blog post in a LOOOOOOONG time well this is going to be short since im going to go play the game I just rented yesterday, Bully by Rockstar Games Vancouver. It is pretty fun so far the controls are similar to GTA series. The only thing that frustrates me sometimes is when you run away from a teacher or someone after you, the camera can screw you up but it only happens sometimes. Other than that the game is great so far.

On a GTA note I said I would keep you updated but I have deceided to stop playing them for a while because I am too hyped for new games like Final Fantasy 12 Coming out soon. AND my birthday is on November 1st and so I am going to start saving for  my 360, I should have it by Christmas.

Thats all for now!

Hey everyone, I haven't made a blog in a while so I thought what the heck. I have a lot of decisions about which game I want to play next because I have so many un-beaten games that I can't stand to look at for one more second. The first game is Dragon Quest VIII which is a long RPG that my friend has beaten and he said it is really good. I just started it and the beginning it is very boring but thats what most people think anyways. Also I still haven't played any Splinter Cell even though I love that game I just haven't been in the right mood to play it. Kingdom Hearts also died down after a while but I should be getting back into it soon. I will probably choose one to play by the end of this weekend since I am very busy with my friends rock concert and what not.

In other gaming related news, I have not got much further in Grand Theft Auto: III but I will probably play some of it later on tonight. As for GTA: San Andreas, it has been in the back of my mind as for the story and mission portion but I have been playing the multiplayer with friends.

I want a new graphics card sooooo badly, but the sad thing is that my computer only has PCI slots, 3 to be exact, and no AGP or any PCI Express ports, and as some of you may know, PCI slots have very limited choices in the past few years. I have a 64 mb intel intergrated graphics card that I wanna rip out of my motherboard since its intergrated. If anyone has any good suggestions, please tell me.

Thats all for now,

Whats good in the gamespot hood?...... nevermind that was completely dumb. Well I have not done much game wise in the past few days except in San Andreas I am in the hick town or  countryside doing missions for Catalina or whatever her name is. It is still a fun game to me and I love picking up the controller to do an odd mission or two every now and again. I started Playing GTA 3 this morning and did the first mission in that aswell, I guess I will keep you posted on that as well as San Andreas in a lil report I will do every so often.

Yesterday was a two-year anniversary of a huge blackout that occurred here in Toronto causing all the power to go out for about 2 days. It affected most of New York and other places in that area aswell.

I just watched WWE Raw an hour ago and I like the storylines they have leading up to Summerslam on Pay Per View. The only problem I have with it is that DX doesn't seem like they were back in the day. Well, since the men are older now and so on that may be it or just that they don't want to be exactly how they used to be.

Thats all for now I will keep you posted

PEACE
