Good Friday? You betcha!

Guess what? I finished Half-Life 2: Episode 1 today! Yippee!

It took me around a couple of days to finish it. It's kind of short. Okay, I'm not as fast as some hardcore gamers out there but at least I manage to finish it albeit after dying 100 times!

Now, I already started Half-Life 2: Episode 2. The final Half-Life episodes on the Orange DVD for the Xbox 360. I wonder if any new Half-Life episodes is on the cards. I haven't finish playing episode 2 so, I'm not sure what's the ending like. They say, there are still a lot of un-answered questions left. I guess, we'll all have to wait and see.

I still haven't bought any new games coming out this March. I'm waiting a little later till after April to check out my Xbox 360 store. Wondering, if Army of Two are already being sold. That's one game, I'm going to check out. It's a two player tactical game, so perfect for my two nephews to play co-op together. Right now, they're still playing Halo 3 even though they have finish it last month. Thats the only game they can play together as a team. Need to find more game that have co-ops!

I'm also hoping to get my hands on Condemned 2: Bloodshot (watching the review, I'm not sure if it's going to be ban in Singapore) , Dark Sector, Dead space, Gears of War 2, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Frontlines: Fuel of war, Devil May Cry 4 and more FPS!

There's one game I hope they have plans for the Xbox is Crysis!

Right now, it's only available for the pc. It got good reviews and I really hope it's coming to Xbox soon!

Anyway, I wish a Happy Good Friday to those of you out there that's celebrating it. I had fun, playing Half-Life the whole day. Haha!

So, good day and have a great weekends!

P.S. Any Xbox gamers out there who can recommend me more FPS like Half-Life? Appreciate it!

Wooohoooo! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Finally, yesterday. I finished playing Half-Life 2! Woohooo!

It's the second game after Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare that I've managed to actually finish a game. I don't know why I didn't like the first Half-Life when it came out in 1998. Funny, only now then I realized how cool the game is. Maybe, I didn't understand it. Or maybe I didn't read the guide unlike now with Half-Life 2 game guide by Gamespot.com.

Anyway, now, I'm ready to continue playing Half-Life 2: Episode 1 and after that Episode 2. I wonder if there's going to be Episode 3, 4, 5 etc or just the ending of the saga in Half-Life 3?

At first, when I started playing Half-Life 2 on my Xbox, I keep having headache playing it. I don't know why. Maybe because of the puzzle type game and a brain twister. I din't 'get it' the first time playing it. It's unlike any other FPS (First person shooter) game out there like Halo or anything where you just shoot everything from one level to the other. Even my 9 and 10 year old nephews can finish it.

When, I showed them Half-Life 2 they don't like it because it's kind of slow and you'll have to think through things almost all the time. So, I told them it's kind of a relax game where you take your time to finish it. It's a game where you don't have to go gung-ho at everything.

At least one of my nephew is a little interested in playing it after he saw that I finish the game yesterday. I like for them to try and play the game. I think it can teach them some problem-solving skills. And, also it's good to start learning it at their young age. But, so far, they have actually help me solve some of the puzzles in the game. So, at least, they can think!

I think, I like the thinking game more after playing Half-Life 2. Once, a while though, I prefer just trashing,bashing, shooting everything up too of course lol!

This year, there's a lot of great new games coming up for the Xbox 360 that I just can't wait to play it. Like Gears of War 2, Army of Two, Condemned 2, Dark Sector some of which is actually coming out by April. I don't know how soon they're going to come to Singapore. I guess, I can start saving hehe.. oh yeah, already did!

Okay, then. That's all the update for today. I'm chatting and updating my blog at the same time so got to go.

Have a nice Sunday!
