Good Memories

Past

We are now entering the period of my life where gaming began to take me over.  My college years. My mate Cav had got his ps2, so I got mine. But to be honest, it was his we played more.  As Ive previously mentioned, when I was younger I used to play games with my sister, but it wasnt really a challenge.  Now playing local multiplayer games, especially football (or soccer if any yanks happen to be reading), were the best way to distract me aways from college work.

During break periods, I would go to Cavs house, normally waking him up (baring in mind, he did the same course as me).  We would probably play 3 games of Pro Evo (or PES) using our self made wonder teams then head back to college.  We would keep a mental track of who was ahead in terms of wins and until we got pro evo 6 which kept a track for us.

Possibly my greatest moment in gaming was when we came to the last week of the college year.  We had played almost 200 matches and the scores were tied at 99-99.  That next game was the tensist yet, but I clinched the win, took a photo (which I have saved on another computer and will later upload) and have had bragging rights ever since.  This also saw the last of me playing the ps2.....

You can tell I havent done a blog for a short while lol.  So what have I still got to do..

Future

Im having a few conflicts in my mind of what to do next.  Firstly I must finish AC:Revelations.

I then plan to put my new xbox in the living room so I can plug my Kinect back in, so in my spare time I can lose wait an build up my completion percentage on things like Kinect Sports and Fitness Evolved.

Then with the old Xbox back in the bedroom, I will probably go back to complete LA Noire as I have all the addons now, then go even further back to complete GTA IV, ideally before GTA V comes out (but Im quite slow so thats unlikely)

Meanwhile...when will I play Black Ops II?

Until Next Time....

Time to grow up

PAST

Nintendo has never really let me down.  Like I said previously, it has so much character, and as a teenager it was all I ever wanted.  But I had to grow up some day.  To me, growing up was leaving the world of pokemon and mario, and moving to the world of football and shooting everything.  The choice was between Sony and its PS2, and Microsoft and its Xbox.  I remember at the time, playing with the 2 controllers and I just couldnt get over how chunky the Xbox controller felt, so I plucked for the PS2.

Oh how time changes things.

PRESENT

A lot more gaming going on at the moment paired with a longer time between this and my last blog have seen me get a fair few more achievements.
