Summer 2007: Gaming Update Part 1

Hello my friends, it has been awhile since I've made a blog post here. I have a few gaming-related areas to talk about since a few things have changed since I last posted. Without further ado, let the posting begin!

Completed Games

I haven't completed many games so far this summer but a few have been significant. I beat Gears of War on insane which was... insane. I thought it was easy until General RAAM where I beat him by using the box glitch. Torque bow and shotgun ftw indeed. I also beat KH2 with most of the journal complete. I beat Sephiroth which was a lot easier than the first game. I was at level 97 when I beat him so that could explain a lot. I actually thought the last form of Xemnas was the hardest in the entire game, but I beat him without losing.

Games to Still Complete

- Forza Motorsport 2 is super long. I have a long ways to go to beat it which probably won't happen until late August or maybe put off.
- Guitar Hero II is still a priority of mine to beat hard mode since I want to be good at the five-button tracks. I'm finding it hard of course, but I'm on the third tier. It might happen soon.
- FFXII might be played this summer, but I am reluctant to since I don't have time to invest a lot into it. I didn't beat FFX for two years after I bought it which means I could very well beat FFXII in 2009. Ouch.

I have to make a break here since I left out a big detail--I got a PS3. I got a great deal where I got a PS3, a SIXAXIS controller, five Blu-ray movies, and a memory card adapter for $495. It was way too good of a deal to pass up plus when the Emotion Engine is still here. I completed KH2 on it and played SOCOM on it as well. The wi-fi is way cool but I miss the rumble a lot.

Upcoming Games

- Halo 3 Collector's Edition is preordered and I'll get it on the 25th for sure. Not at midnight though lol. The online will be so fun since my entire friends list will probably have the game. Fun fun.
- GTA IV for the PS3 was just preordered on Wednesday. I'm very excited for it. I decided to pass up on the 360 version and the exclusive content since Blu-ray is way cool and I'm used to playing GTA for the Playstation.
- GHIII for the 360. I haven't preordered it yet but I will on Sunday or Monday.
- Ace Combat 6. I tried the demo and the 360 controls feel great. No complaints at all!

There will be more games soon but I'm not sure how many more I'll get. I'm going to buy an HDTV soon though which will be very fun! That's all for now--part 2 should come near the end of the summer. Good night from Two Harbors, MN!
