all i want this Christmas…

December 16, 2008

There’s one thing I’m going to miss while I’m on vacation—PlayStation 3.

I don’t have my own, but thanks to PJVP (a million thanks!!!!), he’s letting me play with and against him in his PS3  every weekend. I’d play the whole day if the unit wouldn’t overheat. Heck, I’d rather play than eat. hehe. The Family Computer (so old school) addict in me was once again brought back to life!

I fell in love with video games! I’ve already finished X-men Legends in PSP (and about to finish Patapon and others games are on queue). I got crazy over this action-RPG. I played before going to work, while going to work, while coming home from work, and before sleeping and almost the whole weekend. Well, to start with, I am an X-men fan. I’ve watched the cartoons and the movies and have read some comics. Of course, I used my favorite characters: Storm, Wolverine, Cyclops, and Iceman. Apart from enjoying the game, I also enjoyed the videos and the story line. I felt I was in their world, where I could optic blast anything!

I’ve finished the battles of Kratos in God of War I and II in PS2 (and about to finish Ratchet and Clank). Again, the stories are great. If you’re into Greek gods and titans, play this! The animations will make you feel you’re Kratos himself battling the gods. The games are one hell of an adventure. It will take you to different mythological places and times, and you’ll meet different creatures and legends. What imagination these people at Sony have! Great!

Finally, in PS3, I’ve finished the action-adventure Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. This is a fortune hunter’s journey, and it’s way better than Indiana Jones. I like shooting down people, err, the bad guys. hehe. And there are twists and turns in the plot; it’s like watching a movie. Right now, PJVP and I are playing versus in Naruto Ninja Storm. I am again going loco over this game. I love the anime, and sometimes, I associate just about anything to Naruto. I dream about the characters (in animated form) at night. hehe. PJVP is really good in these things, and I sometimes get frustrated when I can’t win over him, just like when I was a kid. But I win sometimes, and that’s enough for now. hehe. We play until midnight or until he gets tired, and I always ask for one last game (which becomes five). 

I don’t have my own PS3 yet, but I’m dreaming of having my own. I’d have to have an HDTV (which is expensive) first to give justice to PS3 technology. I think it’s really a good buy (you can also watch blu-ray discs here). Next year, God of War III and Uncharted II will be released, and both promise greater gaming experience. I hope I have my own PS3 then.

For now, PJVP is letting me take home his PS2 and PSP for vacation. These will suffice.
