Uncharted 2 tomorrow!
Tomorrow is the release of Uncharted 2 Among Thieves in Europe. Well, Sweden at least. I’ve been eagerly awaiting that game. It feels a bit unrealistic that the game is finally here. But I’m glad it is here. I really needed something new to play.
Will probably post some of my impressions tomorrow, if I’m not too busy with the game. Now I just have to wait for Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time to be released and I’m very happy. Perhaps we will see each other online in the multiplayer mode.
But probably not, will most likely just play with some friends. But who knows?

3D Dot Game Hero! So much love!
As some of you might know, I’m head over heels for the game, 3D Dot Game Hero. Also known as “Lego Zelda” by people on the internet. The game has a very Zelda/Dragon Quest style to it. Perhaps that’s why I’m so interested about it. That and it looks really nice! Especially in this day and age when it feels games have to be photo-realistic. Well mostly games, so its nice to see people trying to make something “retro”. This is actually one of my most eagerly awaited games.
I really hope it will come outside of Japan, or at least if the Asian version features English text. Next month when its released in Japan we will know.
The game is Playstation 3 exclusive. A bit of a shame, since I think everyone should get a chance to play this. But then again, having an exclusive like this makes me really glad I have a PS3. The game will also feature a create mode, where you can edit the hero you are playing. Or if you are up to it, make a whole new hero!
The game is said to be about 25-35hours long, something I liked to hear.
Here is a taste of the games soundtrack/background music. Just right click and “Save as”.

And now October is here!
We wave goodbye to September and welcome (R)October with open arms.
Damn, this month is filled with games. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Brütal Legend and Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time. I know there are a lot more games that comes out. But these are the ones I really want. Well, I want Tekken 6, Demon’s Souls and Agarest: Generations of War also. Hopefully Gamestop will have good trade in deals for all the other games I want later. So hope I can get them then or at least later.
Since its a new month I picked a new girl, to have on the site. As you can see to your left. She is from Final Fantasy XIII and is named Serah. And is Lightnings sister.
I’m a big fan of her design… Really looking forward to FFXIII.
Its been pretty good at “Kristianstad Lego”. Sadly I’ve been sick so I’ve missed a few days, well mostly sad since I loose money. Well at least the people there are better/nicer than I thought. So I guess it will be pretty good there as long as my migraine keeps away.
Other than the above stuff, I’ve been playing a bit of Wild Arms 1 on my PS3.
Finally cleared the “Tripillar” dungeon and could move on. Now I just have to find “Giant’s Cradle” so I can continue the adventure. I really want to finish this so I can start playing Wild Arms 2. Since I’ve cleared Batman Arkham Asylum, I’ve entered a Batman mode. So I’m starting to watch Batman The Animated Series (TAS for short).
Probably going to re-watch the old movies sometime soon also.
Any other tips on Batman stuff I should take a look at?
Oh, yeah… And its 26 days untill I turn 26. Ugh..

New month and nothing happening
Sadly not much has happened, its been pretty dead on all forms.
Been working a bit with RPGaiden, but other than that its been dead-boring.
Can’t wait until I get my Playstation 3 back, so I can play Batman Arkham Asylum.
It should be arrive sometime next week I hope. And soon before I know it, all the preordered games will start dropping in. Brütal Legend, Uncharted 2,
Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time.
Well since its been pretty dead, I’ve had some chance to catch up watching some old stuff that has been lying around. Like Loonatics Unleashed, which turned out to be pretty okay. Soon finished with season one and I’ll start with season 2.
I also finished watching the anime Happy Seven. It was okay, didn’t expect anything from it. So I can’t really say it was bad. But I’ve seen better. Seems like really good fantasy anime is hard to find. So if you got any tips I’ll gladly take them.
And as you might see (if you are an old visitor) I’ve hanged the design a bit. I feel this better suits my site. It doesn’t need any fancy stuff. Well take care! See ya!

God of War collection for PS3!
Sony announced today that they will be releasing God of War & God of War II on the Playstation 3. It seems like the price will be 39,99 USD (That’s about 285 SEK).
Since I have played a game in the God of War series, I’m gonna get this collection. There are no more excuses now. As I told my friend KNtheking/Keshendi last week, if GoW I & II ever came to the PS3 I would buy it.
“We are excited to announce the God of War Collection for this Holiday Season.
Now fans and newcomers to the series can experience the epic journey of
God of War and God of War II in 720p HD form.
Both titles have been remastered with anti-aliased graphics, running at 60 frames per second for a smooth gameplay experience, only on the PS3 system. Additionally, the Blu-ray Disc compilation will bring the PlayStation Network (PSN) trophy support to the franchise for the very first time.”

Some of the functions in PS3 firmware 3.0
Someone has seemed to hade given out some more info on the upcoming Playstation 3 firmware update 3.0. There are a bunch of new stuff that seems pretty great. I’m very intressted to see what dynamic themes we’ll be getting.
– The right analogue stick functionality during video playback looks like it will be pretty powerful. When you push the stick in any direction, the video will pause You can then rotate the stick for speeds ranging between slow motion and four times. Rotate clockwise, and you’ll advance the video. Counterclockwise will backtrack. The speed can be adjusted at a precision of 0.01 times. Let go of the stick, and the playback will continue at normal speed.
– The web browser’s print screen functionality can output to a printer connected via USB and over LAN. Only certain printers are compatible though.
– This is something you might have not noticed before (I certainly never gave much thought to it). Currently, when you start up your PS3, the XMB interface begins by pointing at the games section. Starting with firmware 3.0, the interface will default to pointing at the newly added What’s New section of the network column. This is true even if you have a disc in the system. You can go into the settings menu to switch back to the original behavior if you like.
– The analogue clock display in the upper right side corner of the screen has been switched to a busy indicator. When the system is working, you’ll see the clock spinning.
– The font size and icon size for the main interface have become a bit bigger. This was implemented in order to better show what area is in focus.
– From version 3.0, all versions of the PS3 — old and new — will have a change to their startup sequences. When booting up the system for the firts time, PlayStation family logo, PS3 logo, and PlayStation 3 logo will all display simultaneously. When you start up a game, the PS3 logo will no longer be shown, giving a slight boost in speed to startup time. Note that this does not apply to original PlayStation games, as they run on an emulator.
– Version 3.0 adds support for more dynamic themes using videos and other elements. The system’s base “wave” theme has also been changed to a display of fine particles. Backgrounds for such themes are created by the same SDK that’s used to make games. There’s a slight bit of interaction with the particle effects. If you’re scrolling down, the particles will flow down. If you’re scrolling left, the particles will flow left.
– I’m certain some people have figured this out already, but the slimline PS3 does not ship with System 3.0. This was due to circumstances during manufacturing. Slim buyers will have to update like the rest of us.

Games I’m looking forward to
Right now there are a bunch of games I’m looking forward to, both this and next year. So I thought I would make a list of all those games. Just those games that has been confirmed to make it to America and Europe.
Batman: Arkham Asylum, Uncharted 2: Amongst Thieves, Brütal Legend,
Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time, Record of Agarest War, Tekken 6,
Demon’s Soul, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Fusion, Darksiders, Katamari Forever,
Final Fantasy XIII, White Knight Chronicles, Last Rebellion,
Yeah. I guess that’s all right now. At least the ones I can take from the top of my head. Lucky me at least that GameStop Sweden had their trade in deals, trade in 2 games and get some games for 1SEK (about 14cents)
Anyways. Thanks to this deal, I’ve been able to get Batman, Ratchet & Clank and Brütal Legend för 3SEK. And got rid of some old games I never played anymore. Do you have a list of games, you are looking forward to?
