The good 'ol Xbox 360 is still out of commission, taking a vacation over at the repair shop called Microsoft, or wherever the hell it's at right now. Thank God for UPS tracking numbers right? So in the mean time I've been drooling over the PS3 and lamenting the days where games like God of War or Jumping Flash put a smile on my face.
Since owning a 360 I've grown accustomed to the excitment and anticipation of big budget games like Gears of War, Halo, and the various others that made the console famous. Then I realized that the selection of games for the system was just that - big budget games.
After Sony's press conference at E3 '08 (which was the best showing this year, in my opinion) I've been antsy to play the old classics again on the Playstation brand. Including Ratchet and Clank, God of War III, Resistance 2, and the various others. Even the PSP attracted my attention with games that the handheld desperately needed, including the awesome bundles Sony is offering. Home, once again, was a no show with the exception of a video of the service, whoo-hoo! I guess they're demonstrating to the public that Home isn't quite dead.
Other than that I've been reading the Dragonlance novels; Dragonlance Chronicles by Margaret Weis and Tracey Hickman. The first three books that start off the Dragonlance saga. So far they're good books, a little dated since they've been written in the early 80's, but still good.
I'm currently working on Final Fantasy X and FFX-2 will be next on my roster of "games I haven't played yet". I miss those JRPG's. Great stories but lack exploration, versus the western RPG's that contain exploration but lack story. You get one or the other with I guess.
I've read that the new Kingdom Hearts: Birth by sleep is coming to the PSP. You can find the entire article here if you so desire to read it. I'm curious if it'll be ported onto the PS2 sometime in the future. I'm sure it will.
Also Magic: The Gathering has been keeping me busy as well. And even though I haven't played in 5 years, which I'm still learning the new abilities and rules from the latest expansions of the game, I'm looking to join a league or even a tournament to hopefully win some prizes.
Anyways, as the time goes by and the girlie friend is heading home from work, I have to draw this to a close. Goodnight everybody and try not to flood the response section with your over excitement of my blog here.
