Best of 2007: Game of the Year

I'm a little bit disappointed :(

I wake up, turn on my computer, check my email and saw one message from GameSpot - "Find out our 2007 Game of the Year" so I clicked the link and watched the video. Here is the link for it: Best of the year video. I thought that another game will win (Halo 3 or maybe BioShock) but that's because I don't have Wii and I didn't have opportunity to check Super Mario Galaxy out. Maybe next year... :)

Fire Emblem

Hello again :)

Thanks to Fire_EmblemFan I started to thinking about playing Fire Emblem. He advised me with which game I should start and it hapened! I'm now playing Fire Emblem (GBA) and I think it's great! It's tactics maybe isn't very complicated but because of that it's clear, simple and pleasant. I will write something more later, when I finish the game (Christmas are over so I have to study and work hard) but I'm sure I will write many great words about this game :) I'm in 8 chapter so probably I have many hours of playing so it won't be so quick :P

Here are few videos of Fire Emblem for GBA:

What do you think about it?

See ya next time :)

Universe At War Beta

At last!!!

I received Universe At War Beta Activation Key! Now I have to download a client (2h max) and I can finally play it! I don't have much time, but from next week I should have few free of school days so I will have opportunity to play UAW :) Of course I have Shining Souls II and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance to complete but those I can play every time, but beta is only until end of November.

I will write some first thoughts probably the next day after tomorrow, so stay tuned :)

See you next time!

30% of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

Hi everyone!

It's been a wile ago when I last time edit my blog. I have few reasons:

- I started education on Gdansk University of Technology and because those are first days I have to get used to my new duties.

- I'm playing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance again.

- I have renovation of my room - I want it to be more useful and friendly :)

- I'm have a great number of old hardwares and I have to look through.

About Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - I'm playing it, because I want to play others tactics games in Final Fantasy universe, but until I won't buy a Sony PSP (I think that it will be soon :) ) I don't have any other game. And this time (because it's the second time when I'm playing FFTA) I want to make everything for 100%: every 300 of quest (for now I have 91), collect all items and weapons/accessories, master every skill in every job (I'm only playing with 6 basic characters), clear all areas. I know, that it will take a lot of time, but the satisfaction will so huge, that I can't wait until that ending day :)

See you next time!

My first truly mine SNES game!

After few years of playing on SNES emulator I finally own an original SNES game! I know, that it can be strange for you, but in Poland it is truly hard to get an original SNES cartridge. Now I have to wait until I get a SNES console ( :P ) and I can start playing in Zelda: A Lint To The Past!! I think, that it will come in one or two days. I can't wait!

P.S. When I will have some free time I will do photos and write a little bit about my new school - Gdansk University of Technology :)

See you next time!

BioShock Demo


Today is a beautiful day :)

Normally at this time I'm at work. But not today! :D I'm a little sick so I have a few free days. The first thing which I did was downloading the BioShock demo. I used GameSpot Download Manager so it takes not much time.

When I first turned it I was amazed! I don't have super-hyper hi-speed computer but it didn't prevent the game to look truly awesome! The details and other graphic things were default turned on Hi, so I didn't change it.

In demo the game starts when the plain fall down and we have to swim. The water effect is the best effect which I saw ever! And even drops on the view were so detailed that I was in BIG (bio)shock! Every part of environment can be used to fight with enemies, you can fire an electric shock when somebody is in water and it will increase the effect.

The history presented in game is not even a chapter but it's interesting. You probably played in games where you have to kill a lot of monsters and those monsters are there because of something. Here, in BioShock nothing is so sure as it looks like. Even if you think that your plane just crushed after few minutes you can't be so sure if that was a normal accident...

The only weakness which I saw in BioShock demo was a long time of loading - it's truly annoying, because you are waiting for next scene but you have to wait a little bit longer that you expected.

In summary I will give the game 9,5/10 because of loading for now and wait for my copy of BioShock, which I think I will buy really soon :) I can't wait to play it!

See you next time!

The beginings...

Ok, it is my first blog entry so I will only say hello :) If you want to know me better feel free to write messages and read about me in "The official introduction" topic here.

I'm playing now some games so you can expect some reviews (there are 120% chances that I will write about Breath of Fire III and Disciples II). Maybe I will add some mine videos - who knows? :)

See you next time!
