  A day before I go Godly

  well my friends, it is literally one day before I march down to my local gametraders (which handly opened a block from my house last year) and will be buying my very own copy of Spore, I have waited since the games announcment way back in 05 for this, and I am about to explode with excitment.

  But I'm sure if your reading this then u haven't been living under a rock and therefore would already be loudly lamenting on how long you now have to wait to get the game, I now its a struggle but resist the urge to rob your nearest store and hold in your glee for tommorow.

  Unfortunetly my glee for Spore comes with my intense dissapointment i Mercs 2, long have I waited for a game which could top the original destructive mayhem of Mercs 1, and in the terms of destruction Mercs 2 seems to have got it made, though after reading reviews this game seems simply too hollow and buggy for me, even if I can level an embassy with a tac nuke in the opening 10 minutes of the game I still want some form of story rather then just chasing after some drug dealer who shot me in the arse.

  On thet topic of MGS4 and my possible review of it I have decided not to do it, to put it simply I don't feel that I could accurately show my love and adoration for this game, Solid Snake, Hideo Kojima and the rest of the series by simply writing a review, it would end up being a novel that would make every Omnibus quake in fear. So I will state this simply, MGS4 is the best game I have ever played, I love every aspect of it, I love the acheivments, I love the challenge, I love the stealth, I especially love the story. Even writing that felt hollow because it still isn't big enough, I'd have to invent a new name for the emotion I feel for this game. I'm still trying t unlock all the acheivments I'm 1/2 way there, though I can forsee some hardships in getting the Big Boss emblem (beat the game on Big Boss Extreme with no kills, no alerts, no continues, no healing items used and finish in less then 5 hrs).

  I still play SCIV every now and then which I must say is one of the best fighting games I've ever played, and I got a new Dualshock 3 controller as my new 1st controller, which also adds a lot to the MGS4 experiance as well. SCIV is great fun especially when u like to fool around with mates, though combos are a little harder to pull off then before and some characters are even more abusive then before (Lizardman in particular), as I have the PS3 version I am without Yoda, but Vader and the Starkiller are perfectly balanced, well not so much the starkiller, actually just Vader is balanced. I must say breast animation has come a long way since Lara Croft stabbed our eyes out with those sword like thing they called a chest, I'm pretty sure Ivy and Sophitia belong in GTAIV rather then SCIV.

  I'm eager to see if SFIV will live up to its potential, my only realy SF experiance has been at arcades so this console version will be interesting to try when it eventually comes out.

  Most eagerly awaited game for though is not in fact Spore, but Warhammer ONline: The Age of Reckoning, I have waited for a proper Warhammer fantasy game for so long, I have already pre-ordered the collectors edition and got into the closed beta, and after playing many different mmo's in the past I can honestly say that this is the best, it's obvious that there were some things that needed to be fixed, but as a closed beta it still felt more complete then any other mmo I've ever played and it perfectly captures the gritty dark world of warhammer that I, as a long time (12 years) player of warhammer fantasy and 40K tabletop, have wanted to see for a long time.

  Luckily for I learnt a thing or two about power leveling from playing WOW all that time, so I'll be able to juggle WAR, Spore, Crysis Warhead (when I eventually get enough money for it), Force Unleashed and Far Cry 2, theres probably something else I'm forgetting to mention, but hey it is September so if I'm not blogging it will probably mean I'm playin.

  On a hardware note I will be upgrading my computer shortly, I have selected what I want, the Radeon 4870 and will be getting it delivered from a stoer, advised to me by my PC nutter (more so then me even) of a cousin, the store is called PC case Gear or PCCG, ordering from their website takes about 2 days delivery if you live in good ol Victoria, and they seem to have everything. So hopefully I'll be playing Spore on some nice crystal clear and more importantly high settings.

  Happy Gaming and if you haven't already see the Dark Knight, its awesome (not leaving out Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder, and Hellboy 2 if you want to see some truly weird crap)

  you have too switch discs...o right Blu ray, sry forgot

  can't talk for long just started my second play through of MGS4, honest too god t is the best game I've ever played, Hideo Kojima is a god. Crazy CQC action scenes.

  As I need to get back to my comfy bean bag of perpetual pleasures I'll be brief. I watched the Dark Knight recently and haven't been able to stop acting like the Joker, best movie I've seen in ages, Heath Ledger is a god (R.I.P Aussie legend number 137 (thats right we're breeding them now), but lets not count out the new amazing Ironman movie, Robert Downy Jr. is a god, and also the new Hulk movie which is just plain awesome, considering the final fight scene goes for just over 1/2 and hour. This is the year of the comic book movies and it is looking incredible, Thor and Captain America movies coming out next year along with the avengers movie, its never been a better time to be a Marvel fan, Stan Lee is a god, him, Hideo, and Downey Jr. are all toasting there success in Olympus. Lets not forget the upcoming Watchmen movie and also the new Sin City, also hoping that Hellboy 2 will makes its way too Oz soon.

  Watched some E3 vids and am more pumped then ever to get my hands on SC IV, Far Cry 2, Fallout 3 (importing from PLay-Asia.com, naturally), FF XIII and versus, SF IV and MK vs. DC, though I don't know why considering how frustratingly hard the other MK games I've played have been, personally I think I'm just a sucker for Scorpion and Sub Zero. I resolved that my game of choice will always be action or fighting, I think my days of non stop FPS action are done, I know now that I am actually pretty spec with SCIII and Tekken 5, recently my friend and I had a 60 match spree of Tekken, I managed to come out on top by two matches, you could guess that out fingers were raw by the end.

  I finished my review of GTA IV, see what I think if you dare (it's really long)

  If you're wondering about my odd title, than I suggest you play MGS4, its actually part of a joke from the game, too be honest I think tears sprang too my eyes when I heard Otacon say "O right this is the PS#, Blu ray, dual layered".

  Happy Gaming BBBBBBBBRRRRRROOOOOOOTTTTTTTHHHHHEEEEERRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...r

  GUNDAMit

  hello once again loyal blog readers, marvel at my incredibly witty title, those who understand it will get a special invisble and intangible cookie in the mail.

  Now that that is out of the way let me start by saying this, in the next two to three weeks gaming shall be upgrded past breathing on the level of importance scale, why you ask? because I'm getting GTAIV, Mass Effect for the PC and MGS4, got my pre orders down and finally have enough money to buy them, so I'm just sucking up time by trying to complete CoD4 on Veteran, it's aggravating. Anyway I did finish Patapon, DMC4 and Uncharted, they're all great games, Uncharted is my favourite purely because the characters are so likeable, my least favourite would be Patapon, simply because the novelty wears thin towards the end of the game.

  I'll write a review for DMC4 and Patapon eventually, I also finally got around to writing a review for Resistance, which is a PS3 favourite of mine, simply because you get a gun that can fire turrets. So I did say a few months ago that I was going to get GTAIV as soon as it came out, so you're probably saying "hey whats the deal homes" assuming you are actually so out of it that you still refer to people as homes, and if your white. Well the deal is that I actually didn't have enough money, turns out I spent it all on comics and Manga's...oops, look I have a lot of addictions okay, don't judge me. BUT thanks to my awesome powers I have finally accumulated enough money to not only buy GTAIV but also Mass Effect for the PC along with it, and assuming I can actually find out where I put my banks account number, I'll be able to buy MGS4 upon release.

  So as I said I have actually been playing CoD4 to pass the time, now I did say before that CoD4 multiplayer had been malfuncitioning to the point where the game wouldn't start up, well I fixed that problem and so I can play again, the only problem was that all my save data got erased in the process, so I began trying to level back up to 55, previously I had 2 lvl 55 profiles, I already have one back up, and I think I'll finish a few challenges and then leave it at that. CoD4 has served me very very very well, but it's time I put it in retirement, I'm known for being a multi game guy, I can't stick to one for too long. I already got the M4 and the G3 expert challenges done as well as most of killer and operations, we'll see how I feel tommorow when I pick up GTAIV and ME.

  So what else have I been doing to soak up time? well I saw Ironman a couple of times, I have to say it is the best comic book movie, thanks to Robert Downey Jr., I'd say Ironman is equal first with Xmen 2, I can't wait for the sequel, and also the new Hulk movie is coming out, I'll see it simply cause I like seeing things blow up and giant green dudes chuckin monster fits and smashing cars, but also good old Tony Stark will bemaking an appearance, no doubt to release the Hulkbuster suit (comic book referance, you know what I'm talking about True Believers).

  Also I recently bought the entire series of Gundam Seed, I'm not finished it yet, but I have to say it's pretty awesome, I mean the constant crying aside, you do actually care for the characters and the massive battles are just plain awesomness in a tube made of awesome metal spray painted with awesome (*huff**huff**faint*)

  Well I'll keep yall posted, happy gamin homes
