Woo, holidays!

Yes, the holidays have been here for a while, yet, I haven't blogged that much in regards to games. Sure, I mentioned that I have Ads now, but still, I feel as though I need to get back to the roots of what the hell I do here! ... Talking about games...

Although it's likely that THAT will soon change. What with my all-rounded skills in things like photoshop'ing, music composition, lyric writing, website development, software development, game reviews/thoughts, and so on. In keeping with the Studioz theme of our crew (lol), I have opted for the name of RufiSTUDIO(tm)... Dammit, this is MY name! It won't happen right now, I will need to work on a new layout, but then it does change, I'll make sure that these changes are reflected in the various places to which I belong as a member. That ends my little announcement.

WELL THEN!

As I said, I've been holidaying for a few weeks now, and I've already acquired and beaten a new game. EA's Need For Speed: Most Wanted. An awesome combination of the high-end cars we all love from the pre-Underground games, with the aftermarket parts/tuning/whatnot. The game looks stunning, and, again, as opposed to the Underground series, it all happens during daylight (Underground being entirelyat night-time). Things like glare make for interesting races, when the road ahead is practically invisible, and I gotta tell you, stuff like that exists in the real-world, only we have things like sunglasses, or those sun-guard dealies... Yeah... The thing I absolutely love most about this game, is the fact that the Lamborghinis are back! Ahh yes, my favourite make of car... Mmm, Lambo... It's a fairly solid game, whilst it feels arcadey, each car handles differently to every other. And the physics are realistic enough (I've pulled off some insanely weird things though, like wall-riding, and I piggy-backed a cop car... Almost got busted too), however there are times when glitches occur, and awkward things can happen, but QA can only be so thorough. In the end, to test how well a game has been developed, it needs to be played by millions of people of varying skills, systems, and so on. It also includes a little more non-career based arcade action in the form of the Challenge Series, a bunch of races where you have to complete certain objectives. A nice touch, but I still prefer the career mode.

Needless to say, this, like most Need For Speed games is great. I've beaten the game (100% baby!), and when I have the time to get around to it, I'll try putting each car through it's paces ^^.

Moving away from what I've played, let's look at what I want to play.

Nintendo DS. How I want thee... God Dammit! I WANT A DS! xo! And Mario Kart, just because it's... Well, what it is, an awesome game. Having played Mario Kart 64, as well as Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, I must say that the next instalment in the series is more likely than not, going to be incredibly awesome. So, what's stopping me from getting it? I've been temporarily laid off work, so I get no money until I'm called back, which I thought was going to be some 2 weeks ago, however I've gotten no word from work... ... ... *cry*

I've also begun heating up my Gamecube again. Playing things like Donkey Konga, Super Mario Sunshine, and Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. I've begun a new game in FF:CC, for the sake of getting better items, cause apparently I chose one of the not-so-good parental backgrounds for my main character. Meh. I'm also trying toget all 120 stars in Sunshine. It's dam hard. I have 21 stars to go, and I really want to get it done, just because I did it in Super Mario 64. As for Donkey Konga... Well, that's just a game I can boot up and play when I only need to be entertained for a few minutes. And I'm still DAM 1337 at the game. Having broken several of my record-setting scores. I love video games.

Last but not least. I've just updated STEAM, and again I've been dabbling in Natural Selection. Awesome mod. Much better than that Counter-Strike rubbish. Honestly, it's no fun playing a game where 90% of the population are cheaters, 5% lag, and the other 5% are at some indeterminable middle-ground. Dammit. But yes, NS is awesome... So's the game : D Aye, if you haven't figured it out after reading my blog all this time (Or if I haven't ever mentioned it before), NS are my girlfriend's initials ^^.

Time to chillax.
