Over The Final Hurdle

As of today i have officially finished my uni corse. All my work was handed in around midday today and now i am free to game to my hearts content (well at least for about a month before i get a stinking job)

So now im back on the blogging circuit what is in store?

Guitar Hero Metallica Review!

Its finally out this friday in the UK (took its time or what) and i have been saving for it. My most anticipated game yet this year and i will be reviewing what it is like to get into the shoes of one of the greatest metal bands (in my opinion)

Tales of vasperia demo review.

yeah i played it. See what i think soon.

Halo Wars Review

Should be getting my hands on a copy for a few weeks so best thing to do with it other than play it? Review it!

and some other stuff that i havn’t mensioned. Plus xp will be thriving again now that the saga of uni work is finally over.

Speaking of which. Just a heads up! Plus xp will be expanding ever so slightly. We will be catering for you loverly PS3 owners out there. Yep thats right. Leon (the lucky EXPLETIVE DELETED) got his greasy mitts on a PS3. I’ll let him fill in the details as and when he wants to post :p

So i’m sure you lot will be hearing alot more from me and Leon from now on 🙂

God knows where Marathis is gone though :S

Garv!

The price of games…

At the moment i am a bit stuck. I like may people of my age (ish) am a student, skint as hell living on water biscuits and the like, paying my way through uni for a piece of paper that says. Dude your great you can now have some letters at the end of your name (by the end of ts academic year ill be know as the infamous Rob Bunce FDABA woo!) and a piece of paper just to show you that these letter mean something.

So at the moment i Haven’t got much money in the Bank and what i have got is saved for a rainy day (better be raining the day i graduate :p)

So its no surprise really that i think the price of current Gen games these days are a bit steap. Sure the dreaded evil thing that should never come out of a humans lips known as the economic recession *flinches expecting the government to take him out with a head shot* has brought the price of games down a tiny bit but seriously if a new release comes out and i have to folk out 40 quid of my cash for said game. That’s a good months dinners down he drain. But I’m a game a holic there is not a day that goes past that i havn’t  set my fingers on a joy pad of some kind, you could say i was born with a joy pad in my hand. but hats not a mental image anybody wants really.

So what I’m asking here is, is it just me who thinks that the price of games is ridiculous? New PS1 games back then were about 20 quid brand new, Yeah so games these days have HD and maybe fireworks coming out of the TV every time you win but 40 quid? Seriously?

My dilemma at the moment is deciding between Street Fighter IV, Halo Wars, Gh metallica and both F.E.A.R games. Can only have 1 (or 2 in the case of F.E.A.R.) Its times like this where i should if got a part time job at game to get the staff discount.
