Before I start off I would like to thank everyone here on NZGamer that helped me win with my Hershey Dream Recipe (thats the Hershey Dream above), the $1000 that I won is going to a worthy cause (when I get it in early December), which will be me buying a brand new PS3 Fat or Slim and some games.

Now Let's Begin.......

Well its exam time which means I'm on study leave but it is too hard to study knowing that I can use the PS3 now since my sister ain't at home. I just recently signed up for the University of Auckland's Tertiary Foundation Course because I don't have my Level 2 English Credits as I am a amateur writer (which you can probably tell by now). I have to go in to the Campus to sit a Diagnostic Test to actually get in to the course. Well thats enough of me now lets get into the games.

I've been playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 (MUA2), its similar to the first but with the added feature of fusing your superheroes power with another superhero in your team. My favourite fusion would have to be Deadpool and Gambit where Deadpool jumps in the air shooting in radial circle shape while Gambit is throwing his cards as bombs for Deadpool to shoot. (I tried to find photo of it but couldn't find one). There are a few glitches through the game that can get really annoying, sometimes the camera angling makes it so you can't even see your player when fighting the enemy.

The next game I started playing was Scribblenauts. Scribblenauts is a puzzle game on nintendo ds where almost anything you type/write appears on the game. The game was quite fun trying out all the different ways of finishing a puzzle but after a while you run out of ideas and its starts to get dull.

One of my favourite puzzles was although simple but very fun was the puzzle where you needed to get a guy off a island, I liked this because of the many cool vehicles you could use to get him off the island.

Then later on my brother got us NBA 2K10 which has stepped up quite alot from its previous version, now when you have created your character you can do drills which help build your attributes. Your player also gets put into one of the nba teams summer league teams

(I think its random for which team you go to, well at least mine was). The graphics look a bit better which is awesome and 2K also added in Lebron's flour/whitepowder throw before his Home games start. They were also able to fix a glitch where on 2K9 a player would catch the ball next to the side line and would step out. The only thing I didn't like about the game was that some players that could dunk almost all the time in 2K9 can not dunk all the time in 2K10 eg Dwight Howard and Rudy Gay.

Modern Warfare 2, possibly Game of the Year, actually let me rephrase that, Modern Warfare 2, the Game of the Year. I haven't finished the game yet but I have been quite far through the story and all I/Kanye can say is "its amazing, I'm the reason, everybodys fired up this evening" . I would have to say my favourite level so far would have to be where  you go in to an airport killing all the civilians. I know it may sound evil that I actually like this but it was cool to try something different instead of always being the good guy just killing all the terrorists and saving the civilians, but I must admit, it did feel pretty evil, it felt like I was the devil or something.

And now for the final game that I have been kicking back and playing like I was 7 again is, New Super Mario Bros Wii. Only got this game a couple of days ago and has already made me love it. Most of the impressive songs from all of the old versions are back with some more new songs for me to get  the tunes stuck in my head. I'm only up to World 3 so far but it has shown me some cool new stuff, now they have a item that give you a hat which acts as a Helicopter which can be activated by shaking the Wii remote (but the helicopter hat does stop spinning after a while). They have a item which gives you a penguin suit which helps you grip on the ice alot easier and also allows you to shoot ice balls. I found that the ice levels without the penguin suit is really hard (which is why I am still on World 3). Nintendo was also able to put in sandstorms to blow you forward on the desert levels which can be challenging at times but also fun. Nintendo has done a great job on the New Super Mario Bros Wii and hopefully they will be able to bring back some more old games that we (I) love,

*cough* Diddy Kong *cough* racing and *cough* Donkey Kong.

My gaming has been fun so far, hopefully it will continue with the God Of War III, Final Fantasy XIII and Pokemon Heartgold and Soulsilver releasing next year. I still haven't even played our Uncharted 2 yet, I will probably get into that when I finish my exams and get my $1000 so I can get my own PS3.

Well thats me

"catch you's up"

until next time
