Big Birthday Blog

Hey all, its that tme of the year again, the day when I grow one year older. Yup, its my birthday, so cookies for everyone :lol: Today i turned 19, so its not really an important or big birthday or anything, but hey a birthday's a birthday :P All I got was clothes an money since all the games I that are out I pretty much already have, but the money I got will probably go towards any games I have pre-ordered (which is a few :lol: ), or re-taking driving lesson or both (probably both).
Moving on, I started back to college a couple weeks ago and its going pretty good. The course I'm doing is digital media computing and its pretty decent. Unfortunately its not the course I wanted since I didn't pass last year, so I never got offered a place, but life goes on and the way I see it, it's only an extra year of study :D

Gaming Update

So first off, I want to say that I finally got to 10,000 Gamerscore last weekend. The game that got me to this milestone was The Force Unleashed and i'm already well on my way to 15,000.

Next thing is I got Metroid: Other M a day before release date and I managed to finish the story within a day. Other M has to be one of my favourite Metroid games thanks to the mix of gameplay. A lot of people are complaining about the fact that Samus has been given a voice, or that her voice doesn't suit the character (I for one thought the same when I first heard her) but playing through the game, it grows on you and eventually you come to think that it suits Samus.

The week after Other M was released, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep was released. This game was the main reason I got a PSP and I pre-ordered the special edition as soon as I heard about it. Again it came a day before release and, I have to say it is one extremely good game. I started off playing as Terra and I only finished his story on Thursday, I'm now about half way through Ven's story with Aqua's story still to be played, but I haven't had much time to play it with college starting back and all.
I bought Transformers: War for Cybertron a couple weeks back as well after a friend showed me some gameplay videos of it. Its a really good game with online multiplayer that I actually like playing (that coming from someone who's not a big fan of online multiplayer is saying something :lol: ) The main story also does a good job of telling the story of about how the destruction of Cybertron came about.
I also picked up a copy of Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions on PS3 on Friday and I only have 4 missions left to play. Its a pretty good game and worth a try even if you're not completely interested in comics (I'm not a huge fan of comics, I'm more of a graphic novel and manga type of guy :P).
Sonic Adventure was finally released on XBLA last week and I had it downloaded ASAP. My uncle had the original on Dreamcast and it was all I ever played on it, but he sold it before I managed to complete every story. It feels awesome playing it again and remembering most of the stuff that i'm doing from years ago.

Other Stuff

I got a hold of the last 3 Scott Pilgrim books and neither of them disappointed and if you were to ask which was my favourite then I would tell you that I couldn't really choose between them :P.
I think thats about all from me so until next time, catch you later.
