Historical memory of my ancestor

Hello everyone!
I hope you all had a very nice Christmas yesterday and here I am yet again to show you one of my last videos related to Assassin's Creed. I had to recreate a historic moment and so I chose Adolf Hitler's death. I made up a theory that he did not commit suicide but indeed was assassinated by my ancestor. I made it in the style found within the game but obviosuly had a very low budget and so dont have any special effects but I did my best with what I had!

Please feel free to show it to everyone you know as it would help me a lot in getting exposure as it took me a while to do. :)

The olympic gold medal fever

Last week on monday it was a very special day for this SEGA and most importantly Sonic fan in his life. In what seemed like the run up to the best day of my life I was invited to come play Mario and Sonic at the Olympics in the SEGA London offices. I would like to start out by thanking Kevin, Martin and anyone else who got involved in doing such an incredible special day for everyone that attended. As the first person to get there I was impressed by the layout of the reception itself andthe different rooms it lead to. As I offered myself to help with anything I could I noticed the effort being put into making this game a sucess. As seen in the photos below there were banners everywhere within the room and quite a lot of wiis to play on.

Moving on the event started out by having an introduction by the SEGA staff of the game and demonstrating how the controls worked for each game. After this all players were allowed to move around the 3 wiis and play each other in whatever event they wanted! By the end of this session I really liked both table tennis and the trampoline but the ideas behind each event were simply genious. After letting us train it was time to test out the dream events which were tough at first but made for a real riot in multiplayer. At the end there was a competition which I had no chance to win at all, and at the end a MArio fan won! He was quite lucky to get a lot of SEGA's recent released games, as well as soundtracks and a few other bits. Since it seems I had most of the games though it was not all that bad and I knew straight away the competition was tougher as I am not that competitive anyway. :)

At the end I got to take yet another photo with the cool Sonic costume and also Mario costume. I was also impressed by how Kevin organized the whole event as it went so well that it truly was a special day for me. At the end of it he even gave me a Sonic team t shirt which I shall wear proudly no matter how big it is this friday to promote the game. I also got a really nice Sonic tshirt, virtua fighter 4 t shirt and Sonic mug from Martin for beating him at Virtua fighter 5 which was just too kind of him.

As for the game itself I was not expecting it to be the fantastic experience that I had. The controls for each event as mentioned were completely different for each one and worked just fine. Also there is more than the event as I was the only one to try the cool mini games at the event. These also came with history of past olympic events which I though was a neat way to learn facts and have fun. I was also sneaky to check that the game lets you upload the best scores for each event through wifi to compare them with worldwide players. I just cannot praise this game enough and very soon I shall be playing it as I typed this the game was being sent from the GAME site.

As a final note look out for me and my t shirt at my lunch break from Uni on the HMV official launch for this game between 12 pm and 3 pm!I definetly recommned this game for those looking for a multiplayer experience but it also works well in single player thanks to those records having to be broken, and it takes serious practise.

For now here are the promised videos and photos of the event and I urge everyone to at least try it as it is a special game.

For the brotherhood of the assassins!

Hello everyone,

I would just like to share with you some exclusive videos from the fansite for Assassin's Creed. The reason for this is that the more people that watch it not only means more coverage for the game, but also to complete a mission within the website.


Put my show and this player on your website or your social network.

Also feel free to check out my entry for another missions and if you can give it a five star rating.

Thanks!

The virtua fighter within me

So today after forgetting my keys, and only coming home after 8 when my mother arrived from work, there was a pleasant surprise for me. A few weeks back I managed to order Virtua fighter 5 from amazon at £25 which must have been a misprice. I thought it would be cancelled but somehow it didn't and after getting a delivery email yesterday, it was here today! I haven't played it yet but the surprise didn't end there.

On another package which was named after my mother I gave to her to open. I forgot that my ebay account still has her name in the delivery address, which meant it had something for me. It was nothing less than 2 SEGA Saturn games that I won, which I thought had been lost after a 2 week wait. Now the best bit was one of them was Virtua Fighter kids, that I used to play a lot when I borrowed it from a friend years ago. As you can see now not only do I have the latest version of the game but also a new addiction in the form of a old spin off. Whenever I get to write those promised review I will make sure to do one for Virtua Fighter 5 too.

For now all I can say is:

"Fight one, ready, go! "

Wii Play on the bus

A short entry about one of the most bizarre experiences that happened to me in a while. I was coming home from University and after I catched the bus, something on the floor in the upper deck caught my attention. For some reason someone seems to have decided to throw away 2 manuals for the Wii remote packagings . I did not really think much as it seems people throw away all kinds of left over in buses. The best part was when I went to the seat down, and there under my seat laid the Wii Play box. At first I started imagining opening it to find a game but everything was there but the actual disk. So, I ended up putting this box in my bag and who knows if there is some way to get a replacement disk from Nintendo?

As any readers can see every day living in London can be a real surprise.

Lost in a harmonious sonata


This last thursday I came home to find a package that had arrived, which is quite normal. What made it stand from all other ordinaire mail was that it contained one of the games I have been eagerly for thr last year. As everyone knows the xbox 360 has been lacking RPG games, with only a few releases including Enchanted Arms and Blue Dragon.

With this fact in mind the game that I got was Eternal Sonata and so far it has not dissapointed me for one second. All I can say is everytime I think of this game nothing short of wonderfull comes to mind. The story is intricate and abosrbed instantly into the world created by it, and most important was that it made me care for its characters. As for the combat system it is so unique that I can't remember ever feeling completely in controll of every action within a game.Now coming to its next strong point which is the music aspect, I must say it is some of the best I ever heard within videogames. Every melody seems to have come out of a live concert, being orchestrated by the best classical musicians in the world! As for the environments I have honestly had times where I would stand still, while just absorbing everything around my character.

In short I cannot recommend this game to any RPG and music fan out there as it is a incredible experience. On a last note I would like to apologise to any readers, as I have not been able to update often. I will most definetly try to put up a few reviews and other events that happened such as my night at the Halo 3 premiere here soon.

The Halo fever


Today marks exactly about 12 days from what is expected to be the biggest release in the history of video games. Having been caught up in the excitement that has been going around I could not stop but wonder how the franchise became so popular. In my opinion what made it a favorite for all the fans is the fantastic online system introduced in the 2nd game. I probably spent a few hours myself playing online, but have to admit that the story mode was the same quality of Hollywood blockbusters.


Having already made my mind up about buying the game I though that I would make it more special by pre ordering the Legendary edition. To those wondering it is a highly limited and equally expensive version of the game that comes with a replica of the main character's helmet. To my surprise when I went and pre order in August, as advised by a staff member a few months back, it was already sold out. I did manage to get a pre order on a site which last week cancelled it due to not having stock for everyone. but that is where my luck begun to roll in as someone I know was going to cancel his order, which resulted in me paying him for it. The result of this plan is not yet revealed but hopefully unlike the Masterchief's adventure, it will not be filled with dangerous plot twists.


The conclusion to all of this is that a small proportion of gamers have also found themselves very lucky this weekend. It has been reported that stores across Europe and the States have been selling copies of the game to some gamers. I can confirm from making a new friend on xbox live which has already finished the game and earned his achievements, that at least most of the report is indeed true. So it seems that I have caught the Halo 3 bug and as soon as I have played through it, I will be sure to post a review of the game. For now all that we can do is wait for the fight to begin in a few days, so see you on the battlefield soldiers. :)
Also what is in your opinion the finest moment in the Halo series that made it become so popular?

Hello and welcome to all


This blog is a project which I have considered starting for many days in the last few months. I hope that those who decide to read on my gaming adventures enjoy the ride, and I certainly will do my best to keep this updated. I will also try to review games whenever possible and promise to do so in the fairest manner.


Besides that as probably guessed I am a fan of Sonic the hedgehog and SEGA games, but play anything that I like really. I shall add more content in the next few days and thank you if you read this far.
