Ah yes, another year is coming to a close and what a year it was. I could talk about the war in Iraq, the democrats retaking congress, TomKat, etc...but who the heck cares about that crap. We're here for games and that is what I'm going to talk about. But not gaming news, cause even that gets boring and ridiculous. So, I'll talk about my year in gaming and what a year it has been.
The year started slowly with my biggest addiction being Guitar Hero. No more air guitar for me, now I was able to play a fake guitar in a video game...my dream come true. Not much happened until May when I decided to send my PSP back and get my $250 back and get a DS instead. Is the DS better than the PSP, to me yes...but I don't even play my DS much.
After that happened things started to pick up as I was able to convince my dad in June to get a XBOX 360. It wasn't mine, but at least it is in the house and I can use it. I've played some good games on it so far including Gears of War and Burnout 3. I'm still looking forward to more larger games to come out, but I'll have to wait till 2007 for those.
That held me over till the Nintendo Wii launch. An annoying set of events happened, but I was a lucky one and got my Wii on launch day. Haven't played it much recently, but Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi took over my attention span. Nothing like beating the crap out of a bunch of anime characters.
Most recently I picked up F.E.A.R. and Unreal Tournament 2004. Playing Call of Duty 2 in a realism clan when you are a natural run and gunner causes the urge to just run around shooting to build up and F.E.A.R. has somewhat quenched that urge. I just got UT 2004 today and was really looking forward to playing it, but got a stupid error near the end of the install process. Hopefully I can get it up and running as I really need to just run around blowing crap up.
There are things that I am missing and I know that. If I can remember things I'll update my blog and there are still a couple of weeks left of 2006 so who knows what will happen in that time span. Hopefully, something interesting and exciting, but with the way things go for me I highly doubt it. :lol:
