soccer and gaming

Lately I have been trying to complete games but sadly, I still buy more games than I can play (thank you steam and EB). So now I am on holiday for two weeks and plan to watch world cup in the early mornings, sleep then play games when I wake up!!!!

So all the games I want to attempt to get through:

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (I've been trying to get through this game for three years!)
Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
Age of Empires II: Age of Kings HD
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Pokemon Y
Etrian Odyssey Untold Millennium Girl
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
Final Fantasy X HD Remaster
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
Tales of Symphonia Chronicles
Resident Evil 4 HD

I think thats a decent list to get through ey :)

As for the soccer part, a lot of people question why I took a fortnight off just for soccer. Well it happens every four years and it gets me and my mates around to share a common passion: watching soccer and drinking. Well the drinking part in some cases anyway. Also with my job, the soccer is too early (or late) in the morning for me to watch as I have to sleep early and wake at 5. I think its a noble reason to take some time off for.

a lot of Zelda games but I should get through a good chuck of it, I hope anyway. Lets do this!

Tonight, Tomorrow, Quite a few

with the holidays looming and exams a thing of the past until June next year, I have taken it upon myself to finish at least ten games. Now this would be crap easy if I wasn't working but seeing as I am, my daily gaming has been cut fair short. However working brings in new income and I am now able to afford new games... go figure :p

At the moment I have only finished one, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots but am looking at trying to get around to the following in no particular order:

Burnout Paradise
Chrono Trigger
Disaster: Day of Crisis
Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World
Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen
Final Fantasy XII
Grand Theft Auto IV
Half-Life 2, Episodes 1 and 2
Kingdom Hearts II
LostWinds
Medal of Honor: Airborne
Medal of Honor Heroes 2
Medal of Honor: Vanguard
No More Heroes
Pokemon Diamond
Resistance: Fall of Man
Ridge Racer 7
Rogue Galaxy
Sonic Unleashed
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Yakuza 2

Well thats the list I can think of and I'll keep it updated with what I complete. Theres some nice DS games I should get to as well such as Castlevania, Lock's Quest and Flower, Sun and Rain.

Having Dick Smith woes

So Dick Smith Electronics are currently having a sale and gamers around Australia are raiding the place! It was quite annoying that I found out about the DSE sale on its first day as I luckily stepped into the store for no other reason to waste time. There I saw some flyers saying that it was 50% off, fair cool. So I bought a game and that night, Ecogamer, Aussie-Nintendo, Kotaku Australia were all reporting it. Haha and the next time I went, three days later, most stores were all cleaned out so I had to hop from Dick Smith to Powerhouses and so forth, fun as.

So what did I get? Here we go:

1. Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2 (360) - $5 Greensborough DSE
2. Medal of Honor: Airborne (PS3) - $27.50 Nunawading Powerhouse
   
3. Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 (Wii) - $25 Nunawading Powerhouse
4. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PS3) - $22.50 Nunawading Powerhouse
5. Kameo: Elements of Power (360) - $14 Preston Powerhouse
6. ShadowRun (360) - $5 Greensborough DSE
7. Bully: Scholarship Edition (Wii) - $20 Preston Powerhouse
8. No More Heroes (Wii) - $30 Preston Powerhouse
9. Lost Planet: Extreme Conditions (PS3) - $20 Preston Powerhouse
10. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PS3) - $20 Preston Powerhouse
11. The Orange Box (PS3) - $30 Highpoint Powerhouse
    
12. Medal of Honor: Vanguard (Wii) - $20 Greensborough DSE

Not a bad turnout actually though I am missing some games I really want including Bomberman Land! Wii, Ridge Racer 7, Warhawk and Blue Dragon. At least I finished up my Medal of Honor collection in one week. Also as you can see I've been buying Xbox 360 games, thats because I'll be getting a 360 soon when I see a great bundle at a great price so I'm just getting ready.

Well the sale ends tomorrow so I'll see if I have time to head to Knox City to grab that Ridge Racer 7. Oh and thanks to Ren for getting The Orange Box for me all the way at Highpoint, legendary
