Long time no see. I've missed your emails.

Yeah, it's been what, two months?

Well Courtney is back and has passed all tests with flying colors.

That's right, I'm here now to dump a crap load of games that I've been playing (and want to play) in just this one post!

Prepare yourselves, ladies and gentlemen.

SO.

Let's start off with a handheld console and lead into the games, shall we? :3

The PSP Go.

I have a friend that is really hyped up about getting one, but me? Eh, I like what the original PSP was working with.

I love me some Sony, and I hate to admit it, but all Sony ever really does is try to improve an old product, instead of creating something new altogether. =_=

Here is what IGN thinks of the PSP Go:

http://gear.ign.com/dor/objects/25883/pspgo/videos/gear_pspgo_vidrev_092809.html

Moooooving on. :D

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.

GOD I WISH THIS GAME WOULDN'T EAT MY SOUL.

But I'm loving every friggin minute. D:

Except the parts where I miss picking up something, then I realize I can't actually TURN AROUND to get it, because this is an on-rails game. Dx

That's really the only downside I see in this game.

That and the voice acting. >_>

I'm hoping I can get this beat within the next two weeks, because if I do I may just trade consoles with Julia again.

She has a game that I want to beat.

Speaking of that game:

Silent Hill 4: The Room.

Whoo talk about a game you wouldn't think would be actually scary till you played it. :D

Julia and I started on this game a few weeks back, but because of her busy schedule, only really get together to play it, maybe one time every two weeks.

And I NEED to know what happens in the end. x<

I'm sure Julia feels the same as I do about finishing it.

Oh and I almost forgot.

I lost my memory card a while back. :<

So no Xbawks games for me until I get money to buy another one.

And yes, that means I haven't finished Condemned OR Mirror's Edge. Dx

But, during a game night, Justin allowed me to play one of his very awesome games on his new PSP (Mind you, it's the PSP, not the PSP Go.)

Final Fantasy: Dissidia.

By far the coolest PSP game I've ever played. :DD

I mean, COME ON.

It has Cecil, Squall, Sephiroth, Cloud, TIDUS and so many more FF characters.

IN ONE GAME.

O:

I have nothing more to say on this topic, so I'll just let IGN handle it:

http://psp.ign.com/dor/objects/904962/final-fantasy-dissidia/videos/ffdissidia_vdr_081409.html

Yeah, this video didn't have an embed code so D:

Oh well.

In other news. >_>

Let's get to the wishlist part of the post, shall we?

After all it is my favorite part.

Here are some games that I am either anticipating its release, or, as soon as I have money to get them, will be purchasing.

Call Of Duty: World At War

Love this game, I STILL visit a friends house occasionally and play the zombie minigame with her. xD

Dragon Age: Origins.

Eet's so preeeety.

Halo 3: ODST.

>_>

What?

It's the golden gamer rule to buy all Halo games, no matter how much they may or may not suck.

<_<

Batman: Arkham Asylum.

<3

MagnaCarta II.

Oh wow, Koreans draw bigger boobs than Japanese! ;D

*sigh* Why can't they put big bulging crotches one the men?

WOE IS MEE.

-Ahem-

Moving on.

Saw the Video Game.

We all know this isn't a real case. >_>

But eh, I couldn't find the actual cover.

Anyway.

YAY.

A horror-puzzle game, right up my alley! :D

I suppose I'll leave my dump at that.

Happy gaming.

-Courtney.

Fatal Frame 4 NOT Published in USA?

Wat.

I have no idea who to believe on this, though it pisses me off nontheless.

Itagawa, or whatever his name is, needs to get off that high horse and accept the fact that if this game is, in fact, sold in the US like everyone wants it to, it would make a lot of people happy, including the people dealing with the business end of it.

I'm just so, so, SO ANGRY now.

They better format a version of it for US.

... Or I'm taking a trip to Europe, or easier, looking for a European version on the web.

Some Europeans speak English, right? Hahaha. >__>

Yeah, bad joke.

Goddamn game creators, how would they like it if I took something away that they have been anticipating since the end of a previous thing?

>.<

Anyway, here's a picture cover to console my sorrow and anger.

*sigh* It looks so pretty. That's why I'm watching Japanese people play it on YouTube, since they were curtious enough to flaunt the fact THAT THEY CAN BUY IT.

I'll grumble about this more.

Later, but until then, back to YouTube.. 

God I hate YouTube.

-Courtney.

Since No One Else Is...

Alright, so there are a few games that I have had my eye on for the past week.

The first is this one: Monster Hunter for the PSP. I have heard that the controls are really hard to get used to, but it seems fun. Not sure if it's worth buying, though. I'll see in time. Apparently, you need to stop combos and you can't lock on to your target, which creates alot of unneeded trouble.  I haven't played the other two MH games (heh), but I think I will after seeing the amazing graphics of this one.

Oh my Gawd, a prequel to FFXIII? I'm in! :D

I admit, I had no idea that this game was coming until a few minutes ago, but it seems like a fun little game 'till FFXIII. It's on the PSP and has something to do with academy student's who turn hero when their town is invaded. Sounds like it has a possibility to be alot of fun.

I'm still impatiently awaiting my newest Final Fantasy obsession though. RPG's are where I shine, and I can't wait for this one.  :3

Of course, GOW3. Now, I liked the first one, the second one was generally the same as the first one, and I still want this one. 

Since it's on the PS3, the graphics will be alot better and I wanna geeeet iiiiit~

Well, I think that's all for now.

~Julia~

Oops, Almost Forgot a Title.

Alright, so Courtney, Justin, and I have been playing Mirror's Edge. Gawd, that game hurts my eyes with all the flipping and all. It's so fun though...Kind of like a mix of a few different games and is also in first person mode. 

0.o

It gives me almost a sense of falling...Which is one reason for them giving you a barf bag if you pre-ordered a copy.

Ooooh, I might be getting an arcade Moral Kombat 2 machine~ I'm gonna be saving up my money!

I'm really in the mood to get Heavenly Sword. Courtney and I have wanted to get it, but haven't been able to....You know, because we are poor as Hell, haha.

We seem to be horrible at saving money anyway, since every time we get some we go to Play 'n Trade and buy whatever suits our fancy.

Haha, we need some sense.

Well, I'll post again later.

~Julia~

Back To Business.

Yes, Courtney's back with your IGN fix!

I love that site, I really do.

But anyway, back to the games.

When I was at the IGN homepage, this game had caught my eye.

From the creators of the Guilty Gear games, this is a 2d fighter game.

I cannot wait to play it.

I'd like to get it for the 360, but I wonder if they have it for the Wii?

I love my Wii~

I have very high expectations of it though.

Ahhhh, I want iiit.

I am a BIG fan of fighters, especially the Guilty Gear games.

And I want this onnne.

I don't think I'm going to talk about this game, it'll only depress me.

Here's a link to the Review (Wii):

http://wii.ign.com/articles/986/986095p1.html

And I don't care about the rating, I rate games on what I think of them, not someone else.

But I BELIEVE in Guilty Gear!

*Cries*

Oh, and before I forget:

Sol plus Dizzy equals Guilty Gear addiction. :3

And no, not really as a pairing, this is just the only relatively good picture I could find of the two together. Dizzy is just so cute!

And Sol, well, don't get me started on him. :D

I would never finish this blog.

*AHEM* Moving on.

Hm. Well, this game seems nice. The review stated the creators of this game put a lot of time - and money - into this game, since there is a shortage in shooters on the Wii, and frankly, I'm glad they did.

Since they did put so much time into this, I have a feeling it has  potential to be a very interesting game.

I'm just hoping they had enough time to work on the storyline too, because graphics do not make the game.

Even though it's a very nice plus. :D

Obviously they aimed to please, because this game is one the biggest, most wanted games.

This sort of suprised me, High Voltage Software never was one of the big companies, but I believe with this game, they're going to go places.

Way to get up there, Voltage. It just goes to show you that hard work CAN pay off - if you have enough money to gamble.

This will be continued later, I have things to do today.

Have a great day.

-Courtney.

Finally~

HA! I did finish Zelda.
>:3
I feel proud. I mean, I've only been procrastinating for, like, 3 months now. The ending was as expected from a Zelda game though. I saved the princess :p.



On another note, I, ironically, had a Fatal Frame dream last night. I never did that before, but I did. Justin and Courtney were in it, and we all died.
I was scared to go back to sleep.
0_0
Seriously, I think that game changed my life, even if just a little. I need a new game to spark my fancy. My Overlord 2 demo didn't work (yes, I got it from Courtney) on my computer, so I'm stuck with nothing to excite me. Stupid Windows. >.<



Actually, Courtney and I haven't finished Siren. I think mainly because of how mentally frustrating it is. It makes things that much harder when you actually have to consider your enemies' location and weapons. Also, the weaponry and characters in the game that are at your command are pretty wimp-ish. Sometimes you get no weapon, and you can't punch or use any physical attack. That just sucks. :|

I hope we can play the new translation, AKA Blood Curse


Well, it is 5 in the morning and I should be getting some sleep.

~Julia~

Blah.

I've been playing Atlantica a bunch the past few days and I am now at level 31, which means no more free items, but I can now have apprentices and that's pretty cool. Now I'm curious about playing Condemned, and you know what they say, curiosity killed the cat... And did bad things to the corpse.

-Justin.

Oh my Gawsh

So I'm waiting for my best buddy Courtney to get online. Since her phone's *ahem* somewhere at my house I can't call her, and I wanna come over to play Condemned.
:(
I'm pretty darn excited about it, I've been wanting to play this game but too poor to get it.

Ack. I just got some news. Apparently, I was supposed to be working at a car wash for band but I didn't get the memo. Oops.

Anywho, I really haven't been playing many games lately on a console, mainly I've been playing that Atlantica game Justin set me up with. It's pretty cool. I'm trying to motivate myself to finish Twilight Princess because I wanna see how it ends, but for some reason I keep not playing it. Probably because of the summer wore down my brain and I don't feel like breaking the Zelda codes.
Well, Courtney's here so I'll see you later~

M'kay.

My first time posting on a blog and it feels weird. I would be asleep right now if not for weird dreams. Currently I have had nothing to do except for swimming in my new pool and playing MMO's like Atlantica which I have gotten Julia to start playing. You know what? I think I'm going to go play that now.

-Justin

Michael Jackson: We Will Miss You

Today at 3:24 PM Pacific time, Michael Jackson was pronounced dead. Many of us are shocked at such terrible news.
People have always said mocking remarks about certain sketchy moments of his life, but the world all knows of his amazing musical ability. He will forever be the King of Pop in my heart.


At the young age of 50, his life was abruptly ended due to cardiac arrest. Though he has been through so much hardship and public humiliation, he continued to create music that could be heard and accepted by all. Many people of this day and age would never have been able to cope with such pressure, but Michael went through it all to do what he loved.



Thriller, Beat It, and many other songs of his have heavily influenced the fabric of culture for many generations, and many more to come. His death is the death of a man who lived the life he dreamed.



I love you, Michael. May you peacefully rest in Heaven.

~PsycoMachine~

Not Much To Say At The Moment.

I'm getting closer to my test deadline, yet I'm here, posting this.

Smart, right?

Well, I've studied, it's just my sleeping pattern that I'm worried about.

I have a very bad feeling that I'm going to fall asleep in the middle of the test, so to avoid that, I'm going to load up on caffeine right before I go.

I wonder if that's a good idea?

Hm.

Wish me luck.

-Courtney.

I Can Has Overlord 2 Demo?

*sigh* I guess not.
Well, at least not for 15 minutes, and that's just when the download finally starts.
It makes me want to rip my hair out. >.< First you see a link that says free demo, then the next thing you know you're creating a new account at some file sharing place just to wait fifteen minutes anyway. What I wouldn't give to have my 360 hooked up to LIVE at the moment... Damn equipment malfunctions...



What's this? ANOTHER game Courtney can't afford?
True, so leave me alone. >.>
This week along with the next though, I have to study for my upcoming tests, which therein means I can't play games (Which I'm doing anyway), and I can't surf the web (Of course I'm still doing that.), I should be using my laptop strictly for studying purposes.
I'm so going to fail..
BUT at least the test coming up Thursday is just Reading!
I know I can pass that.
It's the one the week after that I'm worried about.
The one that involves Calculus and Trigonometry.
>.>
.. Yay, my file's ready to download now.




Can I just say that this game is awesome yet terrifying?
AND, I was going to buy it, I mean the whole thing, I saw a big pack at Best Buy, it looked like it came with the book, and all that good stuff.
I didn't know it had this:



How I missed the creepy doll, I'll never know.
I've changed my mind about getting the pack, though.
I need to start reading the back of the boxes. >.>



Ahh, I love this game.
Julia and I beat it. :3
The whole time clutching our pillows and screaming like idiots.
I blame myself, it curiosity that caused us to play it.
The end was unexpected, which I loved. I hate predictable games.
This game was everything but.
My least favorite ghost?
These bitches:



The twins from an earlier ritual.
Oh my god, I couldn't stand them.
And after you fought them the first time, they never stopped appearing.
Randomly.
And frighteningly.
O.o
Mayu made me mad also.
She was just so wimpy.


My Overlord demo is only 25% finshed.
Let the wait begin.


I'm going to eat.


-Courtney.

Boredom.

So, as many of my friends know, I have been grounded. Because I'm forgetful.
:D
I haven't been able to even touch a game in a few days, so I've been dreaming about getting them back. The most I have played is Pokemon for the DS.
Pokemon is alot of fun, but I know some of my friends who get so into the game it's scary. They have memorized the map plans, the highest stats of each Pokemon, which Pokemon someone can catch in each game, the whole enchilada. Ah, one conversation with them and you would think you are talking to the creators of Bulbapedia.

Anywho, I'm super excited about FF XIII that's coming out. I want it sooo bad. I don't have a PS3 though. I hate that about game systems. The only reason I don't have one is because of the ridiculous pricing of it all. I do have a job now, so it will all be in time, I swear it!!!!! >.<

http://www.finalfantasyxiii.com/

Gawd, even just browsing the site is depressing me...I want it so bad. Maybe if I selll my friendship with Courtney. That would help, haha. Seriously, I am almost obsessive about this game. What I truly like about FFXIII is that the game play has improved from the others. Instead of having to go to the attack screen, hit buttons, and wait for your turn (which makes the battles predictable and you can only win if you get enough turns), it actually HAS game play.
Amazing. :D
Welp, that's it for now.

IGN Randomness And (Slight) Game Dump.

I do believe you can fall in love with a video game you have never played. I just did. Assassins Creed II looks like such a great game, I pray that it lives up to those standards when I buy it.

Assassin's Creed II at IGN.com

Yes, I said WHEN I buy it.
There is no if, there is only when.
I also plan to finish Assassins Creed I before I buy it. >.>
Yes, I can be a game procrastinator..
But I procrastinate in almost everything else, so why not?
I like this game for two main reasons:
Your in friggin ITALY. Aaand..
DA VINCI IS YOUR BFF :3
How cool is that?
Yeah, sure the guy you play (pastwise) had tragic things happening to him to cause him to be an assassin..
But that, my friends, is not the good part.
Alas, I cannot experience any of this, unless me, Julia or Justin come up with some money when it comes out..

I need a job. *sigh*

Not really interested in the price drop, Julia already owns a PS2, but this video is GREAT.
"I don't know what the big deal is, the original Xbox has been 99 bucks for like five years now."
"Yeah, I haven't even seen it on store shelves in a long time, so it must still be VERY popular."
XD

Niiice, PS3 may have a one hundred dollar price drop.
Still not in my price range, but easier to meet.
I have nothing against 360, I have one, and love it, of course, but I'd much rather prefer my Sony consoles, Microsoft has never cut it for me. My crappy PC had officially changed my mind after it started repeatedly crashing last year.
And it still crashes every once in a while.
About an hour ago, to be exact.
I'm just too poor for a Mac at the moment though.
And holy crap, Left 4 Dead 2 might be on PS3?
THAT SETTLES IT, NEXT CONSOLE I'M BUYING IS THE PS3.

".. And eating our sand.."


I swear to god, if they made this movie, I would totally go see it. Multiple times.
Seriously? Tranformers was pretty cool, I still watch the animated series. Shut up.
Anyway, even though I didn't watch the Sarah Conner chronicles (I've seen the first episode, that's it.), I still have faith in Terminator. It will make a comeback.
And can you imagine how completely awesome it would be if they merged?
Christian Baaaale.. Ah, I love that man.
He is awesome.
Take your vampiric hero (Edward), you creepy fangirls, I want the Batman.
>:)
Go Transforminators.

"The sickness is in Calahari! Wait, where are you going?"
".. Africa."

Resident Evil: 5 - on my list of things to buy, especially after I played the demo.
But I can't believe they brought chainsaw guy from 4 back.
I hated him then.
I hate him now.
My sister has told me that RE5 almost got flagged as racist because there was a "white" hero with "Black" bad guys.
Dude, the first guy I saw die in the game was WHITE.
WTH?
I don't get it. There may be more African zombies, but damn, why does everything have to be racist?
Where exactly ARE THEY? HMM?
Where is he killing all of these Zombies? HMM?!
He's in Africa for crying out loud, it shouldn't be that offensive.
If he had to go to Russia in the beginning, would they have said there were too many Russian zombies?
I think not.
The girl Chris(?) fights with is pretty badass. (Whaaat? She's African? Racist! *rolls eyes*) (I think her name is Sheva? I didn't pay attention to the loading screen.)
(Who by the way Julia is awesome at, when playing co-op, I can throw her into a horde of zombies and she'll still be alive! :D)
(And it's okay Justin, you're still my Halo buddy. (Though I don't last long.. I think he cheats.. Just kidding.)


I need more coffee. It's friggin five in the morning. Why am I up?



-Courtney.

Puppets? Really?

I've been playing the first Devil May Cry. (I've played the others, but for some reason never played the first, hm. I suppose that explains why I was pretty damn confused while playing 3) My friend warned me about the first enemies, but I didn't listen to her. I should have. They royally pissed me off, not because they were hard, oh no. It was because after I fought off the first few I innocently walk into a room to see about six or more. Hanging. From. The friggin. CEILING. HO MY GOD, that creeped me out. Why? Because I wasn't expecting it. I DID, however, expect them to randomly attack me as soon as I walked in, but not that. That's just weird. ._. Damn puppets.. If you wanna play like that you can have your ole rusty key back.
