First Post

Hey guys, this is my first post here, hopefully I'll post often, it seems pretty fun. Anyways, I want to talk about some games from the past, and mabye a little bit from the present, and then later, we might possibly travel to the FUTURE, only time will tell, or this post, whatever.

First of all, I'm going to go WAY back, to the land of classic games. Actually, one classic game in particular. Starcraft. You may have never had the chance to play Starcraft, a game generally regarded as the best RTS of all time, and a game that is still immensly fun. Infact, in South Korea they actually still have Starcraft "stars" along the lines of our sports stars. I used to play Starcraft back in my younger days, along with another Blizzard game called Diablo (also still pretty fun) and in the past few days I've been getting back into it. I can't give enough praise to Starcraft, and seeing as how its only 20 bucks for it and its expansion pack, I highly recomend you pick it up if you get the chance. You will thank me.

Another much more recent game that I know the other posters on the site were talking about, but never actually bought >:( is a little game called Audiosurf. Basically, its a game that takes your music, and turns it into a puzzle game/roller coaster/near religious experience. If I went into too much detail about it, it would start to sound stupid, which it is definitely not. It is an amazing game, and you can pick it up on Steam for the low price of 10 bucks. I can safely say that this is the best 10 dollar game I have ever played. And speaking of Steam, I have to respectfully disagree with TJ, I happen to like the new look for Steam.

Now I'm going to come to the now and talk a little about Grand Theft Auto 4. I beat it a few days ago with a game time of 24 hours 44 minutes and it is definitely the best game I've played in a long time. Other recent great games like Bioshock and Mass Effect were good, but just left me with a bad taste in my mouth when I thought of all the stuff that they promised, but failed on. I better stop here talking about Bioshock because even though its a great game, it does not deserve game of the year from every freaking website and magazine in existence. That talk is a long one though, so anyways, back to GTA. Everything promised by Rockstar with GTA4 has been given to me. It is truly an amazing game, and you've probably read all about it from other review sites so I won't go into to much detail, but basically, its the first AAA game in awhile that has actually given what it promised, and that is a very good thing.

Alright, I think I've rambled enough for this post. Saw the GOW2 and Mirrors Edge trailers, and they look awesome, but its been talked about so I guess that's about it.


What I'm playing: GTA4, Starcraft, Halo 3, Audiosurf
