First post and a whole lot of what I've been doing during the week

This is my first ever blog post on gamespot so heres a little about me. I am an 18 year old Singaporean male studying in one of the universities in Perth, Western Australia. I am into Japanese anime, games and novels of different genres. My favourite tv shows are Grey's anatomy and House. Most of my time in Perth is spent on studying so you'll probably not hear me speak alot on what I've done in a game. But I do try out new games time and again and who knows I'll probably end up writing about them in one of my post. Otherwise these post will be centered around what I've been doing apart from studying and I'll try to keep them as entertaining as possible. Well, thats probably all for now. Last but not least, I hope to get along well with everyone here at gamespot.

Alrighty, what have I been doing for the past week. Hmm, where do I start? Oh yes, I shall start with my recent fixation on Neverwinter Nights. I was pretty bored during my free time in the holidays and found myself craving for something adventurous. And thus I randomly stumbled upon the world of D and D. This made me think back on that game I bought years ago. Neverwinter Nights. I bought a copy of the original game when it was first released and I found the graphics to be pretty bland and the open-ended gameplay pretty complexed. I didn't really like it then. But now probably because I have grown older and learnt to appreciate the ability to choose more, I kinda find this open-ended gameplay really interesting plus there was also an adventure involved yay! So, I did a little research on the game and found out that it has already produced 3 expansion packs and a sequel. I was like wow! Thats trully amazing. So, I went down to EBgames knowing that there was a 2 for $50 sale to search for a bargain on the expansion packs or even better the sequel. I didn't find any of them on sale though but I did see the Neverwinter Nights diamond edition going for AUD$49.95 which was around SGD$60 and I went for that. Its probably a tad few dollars more expensive than what they're selling it for in Singapore but oh well, thats one item off my list. All that's left is the sequel NwN2.

Now for the people interested in the games I saw in the 2 for $50 bargain area. All I've got to say is, I was pretty surprised at the selection they had there. I was expecting old, out of season games but yet there were some new and unsuspecting titles there. Notable mentions would be F.E.A.R., its expansion pack extraction point, WoW, Guild wars, GTA San Andreas and Star Wars: Empire at war. People who have been holding back and waiting for a price drop in these games should really go check it out. This is probably the lowest prices you'll ever gonna get.

Finally, let me move on to what I've being doing on gamespot. I've recently updated all of my games list. I've written a review on Company of Heroes and am planning to rewrite a couple of my older reviews because I think they're pretty vague and not helpful. I personally think that reviews should be informative and not just paragraph-long-fanboyish/girlish-statements. I don't know what people come to gamespot for but personally i come here to find out more about games and get a second opinion on whether I should be buying a particular game(the first opinion of course comes from the official GS review). So I get pretty annoyed when I click on a review that tells me how good or bad a game with without saying why. So yup hope to improve on my older reviews and of course make sure my new ones are helpful.

So yup thats about all that I've been up to(gaming wise). Hope it has been an interesting read thus far.
