Well, there's only been a handful of games that I've truly felt like king of the world when I finish them, and then is one of them. I've been extremely busy with school lately, but hoping to post the 5 games I've beaten lately, and one I can't wait to review is Call of Cthulhu. This tough game is all about cat and mouse (you being the mouse of course) and just makes you want to scream. But then it all clicked and once you got weapons it became quite entertaining to kill the cat(s). Because of this, I recommend it and can't wait to start reviewing again now that all the boring annual tests are finished at school!

My favorite union here on Gamespot, Community Contributions (AKA Reviewspotting union), has gotten way to big. It's so big now, that critiqing, a big part of the union, has been reduced to like 1 a week per user. The Reviewspotting, the main feature of the union, has been reduced to 1 review per user. Sure, it's great to have a large and noticed union, but a union like Community contributions, should be kept as a "Community" with just an elite few who review seriously here at Gamespot. On the positive side, its nice to see this union thriving, and with more people, there's more activity and more people to find bad/spam reviews. But yeah, it's still incredible frustrating and almost pointless to hope to win any Reviewspotting issue because of this.

It's also tough to figure out who's the regulars of this union. I used to know them all, but lots of new faces have shown up. Still, I've been in this union since the start and will continue to be, but it just sucks to see it move in this direction, for better or worse.

Well, I pride myself for going on Gamespot every day during school, but now, my school is starting to catch on. Now, I can't get on Gamespot anymore, or as my teachers call it "Gameplace". It really bites, since there's nothing to do on the computer any more, and I really miss writing reviews during class period. Still, I lasted over a whole semester before they started to notice, it just sucks it has to be one of my classes with computers. Now I'm being monitored like crazy and I have to read these vile and filthy things called BOOKS!! What will happen next? Having to use the biased IGN or Gamespy?

It really annoys me when there's people out there who hates video games. What's to hate about them? In one game, you could do anything you want (Grand theft auto san andreas). In another, you can save the presidents daughter (Resident evil 4), and you can even play any sports team you want (Madden 06). There's thousands of games out there, yet people still feel inclined to read books and watch movies.

What's up with this? Movies are boring to watch, all you do is "watch". Why do that when you can interact with these movies? I mean come on, Roger Ebert, a big movie critic, claims that "Video games are not an art compared to movies and literature". What a load of BS, video games has everything anyone could be. The art of making good games and figuring out how to beat them is way more exciting than watching a movie. It challenges everyone of all ages, you can do anything you want, and it's the fastest growing entertainment around. Who can blame them? Video games own movies in all respects, having to watch an action movie is boring, when you can be intereacing and playing the action hero and having the game work out the way you want.

Then there's books. Ah yes, books. The most boring type of "entertainment" I could ever think of. If it's not my Game informer magazine I read each month, forget about it. Books are boring, you read the text and then imagine it in your head of what might be going on. Wow, that's exciting. You mean you could be reading a boring piece of literature about 2 lovers rambling on for 10 pages and imagining there emotions and reactions, when you could be saving the world by stopping a nuclear explosion in Asia in Splinter cell chaos theory? Dang, I've been doing the wrong thing for all these years!

You get my point, yet there's people who defend books and movies, and looks at them as "fun", while they can't subject these types of enterainment to video games. Maybe the people who read books and movies are just like video game developers who are to scared to innovate games, there to scared to try something new and more exciting. Yeah, maybe.

3rd person Action adventure games can be lots of fun, but lets face it, most of them have a huge flaw, the camera. The camera always gets in the way with pretty much every  3rd person action adventure game (except RE 4) and it's ashame that you have to die because the stupid camera jerked at the wrong moment. So why does this happen? Why can't developers look at 3rd person action adventure games like the designers did with RE 4 and make the camera a lot more fixed? Even superior titles such as Ninja gaiden and DMC 3 even have camera problems, and although I loved both, I can't name the number of times I got killed because of a stupid platforming puzzle in Ninja gaiden or a boss took a huge slash out of me because the camera was fixed behind Dante in DMC 3. It's a shame that this happens, because it isn't your fault, yet developers aren't pushing this aging problem. But even if they did have the RE 4 fixed camera, would 3rd person action adventure games still work, not being able to see behind you? Who knows, developers are to scared to give it a go. Who knows, maybe if they do, it might turn out to be a wreck, but on the other hand, it might fix this problem that personally pisses me off every time I play a 3rd person action adventure game and get killed because of the camera.

OMG, a game I never thought I'd finish. After almost 4 months of playing, I finially finished this game. I feel like throwing a party, I have no idea why they made it so insanely hard (other than to seperate the casual gamers from the hardcore), but still, I finished it!!
