Starting out

Let me start out with an introduction. My name is Myles aka Vendetta on Xbox Live. I'm a long time friend of Corey aka The Rock. I'm currently a student at the University of Massachusetts of Amherst. As of right now I'm studying Computer Science, but that might soon change.

Since this is a gaming blog I'm going to get right to the point and talk about some games. The games I usually enjoy are First Person Shooters, Action Adventure, and my current favorite genre Music games. I'm currently the bassist in my Rock Band 2 band Ghost and The Busters (Corey is the singer and our friend Marine is the main guitarist. We are currently looking for a good drummer if there is anyone out there, preferably with a good selection of DLC. Just putting that out there.) Recently I've been going back and cleaning up my XBLA games. I just finished Castle Crashers(which in my opinion is the arcade game of the year).

I'm just going to thow down a few thoughts about some games I've been playing lately. First I'll start with (the infamous) Street Fighter 4. I had a few problems with since game. This game made me very angry at first that I almost sold it. I felt that they didn't make the game accessible enough for new players and it was almost unplayable with the Xbox 360 controller. To top it all off, one day when I was about to play it, I find out that my save data got corrupted and I had to start over. But after a day or two I cooled off and decided to give the game one last chance. The game is a very solid fighter and really focuses on the timing of moves. I've played a lot of challenge mode to get better with by favorite character Chun Li. I started enjoying the game again almost as much as I enjoyed Street Fighter 2. One more thing, the people who play that game need to get more original, you won't believe how many Ken, Ryu, and Akumas I saw online.

Other games I've been playing are Left 4 Dead, which is a really fun game that doesn't take itself too seriously. This game has campaigns short enough to play just for fun. I just started Prince of Persia, which is a solid game, but I haven't gotten really into it because I've had to focus on my school work. I just got Unreal Tournament 3 at Target for $10, but I haven't even opened it yet. I always come back to Rock Band 2, just to feel like a rock star every now and again.

Well I think it is time to wrap this up, as I have a Physics class I have to go to. I finally felt I should start to blog after Corey's last post. I'll probably start making this a routine. See you later.
