Im back, but I have two tests this week, so dont expect to see much of me. I would like to thank everyone who sent me a friends request while I was away. I cant wait to go to EB tomorrow and pick up some new games. I know im getting Tales of Symphonia, but I would like to get something else as well....maybe I can track down a copy of Ico. gotta go for now, wish me luck on my exams! (believe me...i need it) :)

Im not certain if the journal is public to everyone, but I thought this would be a good place to tell everyone that im going home for the weekend. Our computer there sucks, so I wont be logged on for a couple of days...I shall return sunday evening, hopefully with Tales of Symphonia in hand!.....I have to cash my check first.....unless the shop accepts tootsie rolls and Blockbuster gift cards:)

I have been playing Tales of Symphonia a lot lately. The game is great in many regards, but its best feature by far is the battle system.It Is quick, exciting, and action packed. After playing this title im not sure if I can ever go back to turn based battles. By creating an action packed battle system, allowing the player to choose when they fight, and even throwing in some multiplayer options, the developers went a long way towards fixing what can be frustrating about these types of games. I love the Final Fantasy series, but after youve been playing for a while the constant and repetive turn based random fights start to drive you insane. This is the first rpg that i feel like I can play for hours and not get bored. This is how id like to see rpgs progress. I dont want to lose the epic plots, or endering chracters, I just want gameplay to be just as enjoyable like it is in this game. Kudos Namco!:)

I have always thought that games are the ultimate stress relive...you can do things that you cant in real life, and accomplishing something really tough is satisfying. Unfortunetly I never have has much time as id like...:(

I feel so disgusted at Microsoft! I only owned my x box for less then a year and it stopped working! I dont know what happened...it just went kaput!! Is that normal? You would think a huge machine like that would last awhile...it seems as far as functionality is concerned the only system i can always count on is my game boy advance.

I would appreciate any help anyone can give me .....Id like to know were I can download a personal icon. Ive setteled for Tidus for now, but id really like a kingdom Hearts personal Icon, if anyone knows were I can find one. Thanks!

Im currently playing Kingdom Hearts the most...ive beaten it before, but I heard there's a another difficulty if you beat expert so now im trying to do that. I cant wait to play Final Fantasy 1 and 2 on my GBA. Ive been playing the series since the ninth one so it should be cool to see were it all started. I hope Square re-realises Final Fantasy 7 soon. Its probably the most popular game in the series and I regret never playing through it.

I never realized Gamespot Basic was free.....this is cool!......so.....am I the only one counting the days till Kingdom Hearts 2?
