I remember, i used to be more excited....

That isnt to say that there arent games coming out these days that i dont get really excited over. I get excited about alot of games.

How powerful is nostalgia really? i know thats a strange question... but i find myself asking it.
I just think about the games i have played over the last few years. Some do stand out as being great even to this day, but most of the games that hold a dear place in my heart are alot older.

Just something i've been thinking about the last few days.
Perhaps it was just part of the trappings of childhood that made things all that more exciting in general.... who knows.

Does this phenomena just apply to me or do other people sorta have this too?.

So... at the end of last month GTA4 came out for both the xbox 360 and the PS3, and even though i'm not really a big GTA fan i am really enjoying this game. According to a friend who has beaten it i'm pretty close to beating it. But i've sorta slacked off with it lately. What seems to happen with alot of games is i'll buy it, excitedly play it for a while then not play it and forget about it then buy something else. Unfortunatly i'm often not much of a completist when it comes ot games, which is why its no wonder that i never took to the achivement system on xbox 360 and felt the need to play longer on games to get extra unlocks.

Playboy X's attire is too fruity to be associated with street justice.


That said there often seems to come a point where i revisit these games play them a heap and finish the rest of them in some really short time.
The exception is oblivion, i just tend to play that game whenever i feel like playing something that i know will have content for me to enjoy for at least the foreseeable future.
Given the fact that i have the game of the year edition that includes all the expansion material, that content level is increased even more.

My Current List of Unfinished Games are as Follows:
Grand Theft Auto 4
Dark Sector
Heavenly Sword
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Folklore
Burnout Paradise
Resistance Fall of Man


.... thats like most of my PS3 games. Pretty sad actually. The only games i've really seen through to the end on my PS3 are:
Uncharted: Drakes Fortune
Devil May Cry 4
Condemned 2: Bloodshot


Maybe i couldnt resist beating in the skulls of the homeless, COULD YOU?

The rest of my stack is just unfinished games and that will be added to when Haze Comes out next week.



Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots comes out on the 12th of june but i know i will have what it takes to see that one through to the end without interuptions. I've always been a rabid fan of Kojima's work since i played and finished the Metal Gear Solid Remake on gamecube.
Normally i'm not into military types of games but MGS is very different, it tells a good, weird convuluted tale, and well... I live for that shit.
I love weird convuluted tales, well even if they arent convoluted, weird is good.
That is of course..... unless your david lynch, if your a david lynch film then youve got a level of weird that even i cant relate to.
Especially when you consider characters like the log lady, what kind of drugs was david smoking when he came up with this. I mean comeon she sounds like shes out of some greasy transexual porno.
And in mulholland dr naomi watts crying and masturbating at the same time for no apparent reason then the film going on as if it was important to the film. I could go on forever, piss on you david lynch. NExt time i watch one of your films i will be yelling at my tv screen so loud that the neighbours will come over telling me to shut the fuck up only to be shown this mess of a creation of yours and them leaving me in peace.



Anyway, games... yes... Metal Gear Solid 4 is definatly one of the main reasons for me owning a ps3, the wait has become so unbearable that i've reactivated my WoW account because i need to get lost in something for about a months worth of time, and i know that if anything can do it its wow.
