Sonic Rush Adventure Progress

Well I picked Sonic Rush Adventure back up for play. I finished the main story mode, but there was still lots for me to do. So far I have 6 of the 7 Chaos Emeralds, and let me tell you that it was no easy challenge to get to them. I'm so glad I have a screen protector on my DS Lite because I think I would end up destroying it if I didn't. Anyway, I can't get the last Emerald, it's so difficult! So I'm now just playing the missions, which can be pretty simple such as collecting Rings in a certain time limit or annoying like defeating a boss all over again. I also need to get all the Sol Emeralds, which I think you do in the mission mode. This game is different from Sonic Rush, the story is basically played as Sonic, instead of separate stories for both. After a while you can play as Blaze, but it's still not as fun as the first game!!! Hopefully I can add this game to my "DS Games I have Beaten" list before I get anymore DS games. So wish me luck!

Super Mario Galaxy: Luigi

Well even though I know I need to finish my other games, I decided to go play Super Mario Galaxy all over again as Luigi. I don't know why, I just don't have any motivation for those other games. Super Mario Galaxy happens to be my favorite Wii game after all, it was just so awesome to me. I never really liked Mario 64 or Mario Sunshine, but this game I definitely love it! It's one of the best games I've played in my whole 18 years of life, and I can see myself going back to play it for years to come.

So anyways, I guess after a little while I'll try playing Metroid again, but I'm gonna have to give in and look at a guide since I've been stuck on that game for months! I know...boohoo on me for using a guide, but I suck at Adventure games it seems! I may also start playing Pokémon Diamond again and try to get the remaining Johto Pokémon I need, or I may start playing Pearl, just to play through the story again! :D

NiGHTS Progress

Well to be honest, by my standards, I have beat NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams. (Which means I finished the story mode with both characters.) I guess however if I wanted to be a completist, I could go back and try and get A Ranks on every stage, and collect all the Dream Drops and other things. Basically if I collect these things it is supposed to unlock musical soundtracks or something of the sort. But anyway, I can at least be glad to say that I finished NiGHTS before I got anymore games!!! Now I just need to work on some of my other games too, like Super Paper Mario & Zelda: TP...if I could get the motivation to actually play those games!

NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams Progress

Well I started playing NiGHTS some more for several hours straight. The game is actually very very short. Some of you may want to wait for a price drop. I finished playing Will's story in just a couple of hours. Now I am playing Helen's story. Sometimes the missions can be challenging, some of you may like it. The game also has a My Dream feature as well as a Racing mode over Nintendo Wi-Fi. I like the game and I guess I could say its worth the $50 to me, but I still think SEGA should've delayed it to work on the in-game graphics. The CGI is so beautiful but the graphics of the game actually suffer a bit too much. There is no excuse for it to not look as good as Sonic and the Secret Rings! Anyway, it sounds like I'm complaining. I like the hole flying thing, thats why I can say the game is amazing to me as well, but most others who played the original would probably say the old game was better. I don't know, but I can see myself coming back to play this game constantly since it's short and doesn't take long to beat. I'm trying to finish it before I get anymore other games so wish me luck!

Upcoming Wii Games I'm Looking Forward To

Well they do this at many websites, but since this is just me here it will be my opinions on why I want upcoming games that are coming out. I'll probably do more features like this in the future since there are tons of games we still don't know about. So here is what I think on some of the upcoming games for the Wii. (In order by release)

Endless Ocean (January 21, 2008)
I'm really looking forward to this game as something I can play to relax and make me not feel bored when I get tired of my other games. The exploring sounds interesting and so does the music. Exploring the ocean would be better if we could take pictures of the life we discover in the ocean, but I guess it won't be too bad. Plus, you can dive with a friend via Nintendo WiFi Connection and use your own music, though I think the calm and soothing music in the game is what you should probably try to find. Anyway, the game is out January 21st, and I already have my copy preordered. It's only $30 and it looks great, I can't wait!

No More Heroes (January 22, 2008)
Well, it seems that recent updates to Amazon and other retailers sites say that Suda51's anime crazed assassin game will be out by the end of January! This is probably so it doesn't get overlooked by Brawl. I'm interested in this game because it is sort of a hack-n-slash but it is really bizarre style of gameplay. I like the way Suda51 thinks about what makes a great game and that it doesn't always have to be normal to be fun and cool. My brother is getting this game for me, it got good ratings from Famitsu, so I don't see how it can be bad (even though not a single Japanese lined up for it on release day in Japan, SHAME ON THEM!)

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (February 10, 2008)
Do I really need to explain why I'm interested in this game? Probably not, but I guess I can say some things. For one, it will have WiFi play with random players and your friends, which makes it an instant buy for any Smash fan! Also, all of the new things they are doing with the series, co-op, even over WiFi sounds awesome. New ways to collect trophies, and also the introduction of assist trophies like the Poké Balls of the past games. This game will probably be one of, if not the best games of all time, and will surely be played for years to come! I just wish it was released on December 3rd, because then I would be playing it instead of writing how eager I am to play this game!!!

I was planning to write about Mario Kart Wii & Disaster: Day of Crisis but we still don't know much about those games, so I'll save that for another time. Let me know what games you are interested in and why in a comment!

LifeSigns: Surgical Unit Progress

Well, I've been playing LifeSigns like crazy lately, and I made it pretty far over my short little trip to Austin over the weekend. Right now I'm stuck at Professor Sawai's heart surgery. Basically I have to cut him open and pull a pen out of his heart, and then Suzu sutures it up automatically. That is the easy part. The hard part is having to restart his heart by using the AED. It starts going so fast, and you have to press the L & R buttons simultaneously when the energy is within the heart. If you don't do it at the right moment you can hurt the heart even more and he will die. It's so hard! I guess I just need a little break for a while, which is why I'm taking the time to tell you about my progress. Anyway I hope to finish this part and move on in the game!

*Edit* I finished the game!!! ^_^

Happy New Year 2008!!!

I just wanted to wish all of you out there a Happy New Year and I hope its a better year for everyone out there. I celebrated with a Strawberry Daquiri here at home. My dog came up at to me at exactly 12 AM, it's a good sign I think. Anyways, what are your resolutions and your gaming resolutions?

One of my normal resolutions would be a common one to try and lose this gut I've built up from sitting on my butt for a year. My gaming resolution would be to try and finish all of the games I get this year during this same year, whether for DS or Wii.

Happy New Year to you All!!!
