So I bought LocoRoco yesterday for the PS3 and it is so insanely addictive. I was playing it all day and I've only just stopped now. I'm ranked 16th globally :D

LocoRocos love to sing, so the more you save and have on screen the more vocal the music gets. Different colours have different tone voices and they all sing different parts in harmony. The song is stuck in my head now D:

Also, shrubbery.

I haven't posted in a little while, so I figured I would post my excuse...

This past week or so my life has been split between Uni work and Oblivion.

The Uni work is in the form of some group projects that I had to take part in and also some coursework that needs to be completed.

So I bought a PS3 the other week, right? Well the day it arrived I bought a HDTV because my old TV just wasn't cutting it. Then, the same week that everything arrived, I bought Oblivion (which I've been wanting to play for ages, just didn't want to spend the cash buying a new computer to play it) and I am absolutely hooked on it. Oblivion is awesome and it's sucking up my free time like hell. The problem is, I need to start revising soon and with the lure of Oblivion I'm gonna have trouble :(

Oh well, Oblivion may be awesome but I need to pass this year to get onto the Game Development segment of my degree, so the revision will get done.

So... Yeah... I bought a PS3 last night on eBay...

I was determined to wait till later in the year to buy one. Determined to wait until at least the 2nd generation of PS3s are released (as all 1st gen. Sony games system break)... But I was browsing eBay and saw an auction which was quite a bit lower than retail price in stores and, seeing as I've read that the Sony PR people have officially declared that the PS3 won't officially go down in retail price for a year, I decided to seriously consider it.

Then, too, considering how poorly their selling in stores, I figured it might be a while before the 2nd gen. gets released which led me to make a bid in the last minute.

I won the auction, woo! So I should be getting the console some time this week.

I really hope I can get used to the disgustingly light weight controls :( heh.

I started playing Kingdom Hearts (the first one) for the first time yesterday. I've never played it before, only heard a couple of people talking about how good it is. Anyway, I formatted my brand new memory card, put the game in and sat down to play it.

I played it for 8 hours straight, oh dear.

It's an absolutely awesome game, even though Cloud handed my arse to me in the coliseum.

When I finish this one I'm planning on getting Kingdom Hearts II, whee.

The Wii arrived today. DHL have really impressed me - Wii delivered today as promised, they've not redeemed themselves, but I might stop disliking them so much.

The Wii itself is awesome, been playing since 11. Haven't tried MonkeyBall yet, but Wii Play and Wii Sports are quite good.

Zelda: Twilight Princess is totally awesome! I love it!

I got an email from PCWorld earlier. My Wii has finally been shipped! Woo!

Problem is, though, they've shipped with DHL. Everyone I know that has had something shipped by DHL, including myself, has been sorely disappointed with the service. Their deliveries take at least 3 times as long as any other courier - and that's if they arrive at all.

Ah well, DHL suck but there's nothing I can do about that. All I can do is hope that it gets here before the end of next year...

PCWorld have finally sent me an email telling me that they've started processing my order. They've also taken £260 out of my bank account, lovely...

As a treat to Olly and Cherry for driving me to Uni every day I paid for us all to have a Chinese earlier. Yum!

Also, we've now officially broken up from Uni for Christmas break. Exams when we get back, time to start revising...

I haven't mentioned it up until now, but I'm a pretty avid gamer.

Today I ordered a Wii from PCWorld. I'm probably pushing it a little with there being so many pre-orders and so few consoles, but I can hope, I guess.

Once it gets here I'll probably make quite a few more gaming posts.

Can't wait to play with my Wii.
