Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

've been real busy with college essays, AP's and the like. It's gotten to be such a hassle @_@. So you could understand how pleased I was when I got to go to digital life, a gaming convention in New York City. It's a medium sized convention where they display videogames, new technology (aka lots and lots of iPOD accesories razz ), and other stuff depending on who can reserve a booth.

The following is the games I saw and what my opinions on them:

Shadow the Hedgehog: Doesn't seem too different from the past Sonic games, but if it ain't broke don't fix it right? Changeing the main character is a bit of a step for a series with a huge fanbase though. However Shadow's gotten quite the fanbase and the other characters can fight beside you as NPC's so, I'm happy (as long as Knuckles is in it). Also, Shadow apparantly wields a gun. That's a huge challenge to the tradition of the sonic universe, but they've challenged alot already (plus, he's shadow. he can get away with it).

King Kong: Awsome pwng fo teh giant monkey!!!!!!! Seriously though, the game feels like your there. There's no health bars or anything, so It feels like you're actually kong kicking T rex butt. Graphic wise, it's amazeing. The enviorment, Kong's fur, the splashing water as you run, it all looks so damn real! My brother thought it was a preview movie when he first saw it :O!

Sonic Snowboarding: Should we be afraid????????? jk, it looks fun. Though snowboarding was in both sonic adventure games, the system had problems in both. In Sonic Adventure 1, you just went off a ramp and did a trick while screaing, "Yeah!" That's it. In Sonic Adventure 2, I found my self restarting the City Escape level 10 friggin times just to get all the comboa right. So I don't really trust Sega with mixing Sonic and Snowboarding. But mighty has returned in the game so...I guess I'll rent it when it comes out.

The Elder Scroll IV: Oh crap, I'm still playing the Elder scrolls III ^^;. Actually, I only saw a preview for this game. I was impressed. The graphics and dramatic effects, though corney, got the message of dire pwng across. I just hope they have orcs in it biggrin !

Dance Dance Revolution for Gamecube:.......DDR.........with Mario characters? Somebody is either an utter genius or the biggest n00b on the planet. Though I'm sure I know one person who is sure to get it >>

Everquest II: Haevn't played the demo yet. I just hope I don't get so addicted that I have to attend therapy @_@

Well, that's all the games I saw.
Later that night I watched toonami, had a bit of an emotional breakdown, and spent the rest of the next day doing Homework. So that was my weekend!
