The Daily Grind - Day Thirty Four

Good evening...wait its 10pm! so should I be saying good night?

Yes I'm very very late in doing this post but everything went against me today! first work covering most of my day then coming back and having to do a lot of paperwork and research for work meh! only just finished so sorry folks.

Finger's crossed for tomorrow to have more hours spare for gaming but anyway back to the present, the night is not over yet and I am determined to get some gaming in today. For example I need to get on with my Warcraft dailies and I really want to put some time into Professor Layton since I'm hooked on the story right now. So on that note time for some Warcraft quest grinding!

----------------------------------------------

Done and dusted for the day, currently standing on 63 marks of the tree so what another 37 so roughly another 3-5 days before the next phase. Still enjoying the questing but hate the cramped space and having to compete with tons of people to get that one creature kill or heal a wounded soldier.

Oh yeah before I forget again I did an update to my list of games I want this year, thought it be wise to check to see if anything had changed like price or dates pushed back. Quite a few where pushed back a month but a lot more have appeared with dates now along with entirely new games I did not know where coming out or forgot about.

First up Lego Harry Potter years 5-7 as turned up and is listed for 18th November which currently is the last game I want for this year, completely forgot about it coming out to be honest. Also Lord of the Rings War in the North as been put in November as well, currently sitting on the 4th so its right in between Uncharted 3 and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. Three triple A games in less than a week, ouch! costly. Team ICO collection is dated for the 30th September which made me cringe since that's just shortly after Gears of War which is a costly day.

Also I found two games I want in July! Agarest Generations of War Zero which is coming out end of July, Shopto.net are taking pre-orders for a collectors edition with art cards etc and only costs £29.99! in fact going to go pre-order it now, but need to play Agarest Generations of War really to make sure I'm going to enjoy this one.

The second game is Earth Defense Insect Armageddon, the first one was...I don't know how to describe it, it was a weird shooter, want to say arcade in a way. Bloody hard at the end of it from what I can remember but I did enjoy shooting giant ants etc and taking on robots/ufos...it was just all round weird game. Wish I had not traded it in to be honest

So plenty of more games to spend my money on and no doubt there will be more announcements soon.

----------------------------------------------

Just put a pre-order down on Argarest collectors edition and also ordered Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii at the same time. While I was ordering I did take a look at the stuff I have on order, Deus EX is the one that is nagging me the most right now. I got a order down for the £99.99 collectors edition and an order for the Augmented Edition in case I don't want it, after just looking at the both I realised that the collectors edition only as a different extra mission and the figurine....so I'm paying pretty much £30 for the figurine.

Think I need to sleep on it because right now I don't see the point in the collectors edition, if it was a game I really really enjoyed then no problem (Gears of War, Halo, God of War, Mass Effect etc). Never played a Deus EX before and don't get me wrong I probably will enjoy it but I don't think it be on the level for me to warrant to spend £30 on a figurine for it, so might stick with the £60 augmented special edition that still gives all the extra in game content plus sound track, artbook and motion comic.

Anyway enough of pre-orders for one night, going to go play some Professor Layton then hit the sack.

----------------------------------------------

Well I thought I was close to finishing Professor Layton but it's clear I've still got quite a few levels to go, out of the 10 mysteries I've cleared eight of them and did at least two to three more chapters tonight. Got to say the story is really good and learning a lot about the Professor's past. Don't want to spoil it for you guys but if you have not played this one yet you need too! the puzzles are really good and this time around I've found myself completing a lot more.

----------------------------------------------

Nearly forgot my 3DS again, hmm you know the icon for the Pokedex as not turned on in ages to say it's time for an update. Just booted the game up and it's come up with the update now, strange! anyway my new Pokemon is Blitzle the weird looking zebra Pokemon. Time for the street pass now...

Five hits today so not bad at all, WOAH! three pieces today leaving me just one more to get and I'm all done on puzzle swap. I know for a fact that the store DS as the missing piece as well so should get it tomorrow, woot! very excited now.

Time for street quest now, this time my adventures cleared one room along with one blue ghost and two armoured ghosts. Was not able to move on after that thanks to a ghost with a light blue shield, hate these guys! so anyway that's it for the 3DS today.

Well that's it for today folks, need to hit the sack since I'm tired and got work again tomorrow. Very excited to know I will be finishing the 3DS puzzles tomorrow, anyway have a good one
