Starcraft!

I don't know if anyone reads this, but I just got back into Starcraft. I'm still a noob when it comes to the game, but if anyone wants to play, let me know.

Games in 2009 that I am dying for...

Let's face it, the summer sucks for video games. Gamers always have to wait for the holiday season to get their hand own the next game of the year. So during the dog days of summer, I made this list of what I can look forward to as the weather changes.

15. Red Steel 2 (nevermind, delayed)

14. Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box

13. Wolfentsein

12. Batman: Arkham Asylum

11. Forza Motorsport 3

10. New Super Mario Bros. Wii

9. The Saboteur

8. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2

7. Left 4 Dead 2

6. Assassin's Creed 2

5. Halo 3: ODST

4. COD: Modern Warfare 2

3. Scribblenauts

2. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

1. Splinter Cell: Conviction (nevermind, delayed)

To be honest, any of the top 5 could be my number one. However, Bioshock 2 would have been my number one had it not been pushed back. Then again, the fact that it needed to be pushed back speaks for the game itself. Just get the game right. Regardless, this year still has some promise and we shall see which game will actually deserve the number one slot.

Bioshock- a little late but still sick

I'm just now playing Bioshock (I know, a year late) for the 360 and I am loving it. I am unabashedly a pansy when it comes to games and movies, but I'm sticking it out because of the gripping gameplay, mysterious story and beautiful visuals. I'm not too far in but I'm going play a lot more and try to finish it up soon. Can't Wait!

Movie List

If you have any interest in movies whatsoever you should check out my website:

Stop Monkeying Around!

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz can provide some good times.  That being said it can get boring a little fast. However, it is almost always fun when there is a group of people playing with you.  So if you have a party than whip out the monkey. Wario is more fun for a party though.

My Second Opinion

Trauma Center: Second Opinion  turned out to be a very fulfilling feat when I finished the story mode.  It was deep, emotional and just plain fun.  This title should not be missed and it is a whole new genre of puzzle game that is only possible for the wii. If you're on the fence about buying it or renting it, just go get now!

WIi is SO Awesome!

Wii is so awesome and revolutionary. The graphics, while not being stunning, are just fine.  I just got my Wii on Decemeber 20 and I stayed up all night with a bunch of friends and it was incredible.  I don't think I ever had so much fun playing video games.  When it comes to the next gen I believe in Wii and 360, and that Ps3 has some work to do.  Oh yeah, Star Wars is the greatest story of our age!

I just bowled a 300 in Wii Sports!

Call of Duty is so much fun on the Wii and it looks pretty good to me.
