Writing for GR: 10/10-10/16

I came home like some kind of digital-plastic Santa Claus last Friday. I got the assignment for Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock and a short write-up about the Level Up storage tower. Warriors of Rock came with a guitar too. Frankly, it was difficult walking to the train and then riding home with these two big boxes. I know I got some looks, but such is the life. I guess I can't complain too much. How many people would readily stand up and take my position away from me?

Anyways, needless to say I was exhausted last weekend and it's taken me this long to write a wrap-up post. Better late than never. My Playstation Move reviews are still being processed, but until then, check out my review of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.

Writing for GR: 10/03-10/09

I wrote up my first paid preview for GR this week, and although I'm not a huge fan of skateboarding games anymore, Shaun White Skateboarding got a positive outlook. I also finished up Front Mission Evolved and wrote my review for that. It'll be posted next week.

More importantly, I'm on the Playstation Move, Sports Champions, Start the Party, and Eye Pet reviews. Altogether that's a hefty bit of writing work, but it's been coming to me easily so far. I'll be sure to include those in the round up as soon as they're published. This coming week? I'm all about Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. Until then, check out my week of manifestos.

The first of my Game Revolution weekly round-ups sees my first paid review and a round-up specifically tailored for Game Revolution. It's kind of like how Neo was plugged into the second Matrix.

Starfox 64 Promo Brings Me Back To PLAY READ WRITE

I just HAVE to share this. Love it! So cheesy!

Also, remember "Get N or Get Out!"? I got one of these promotional videos for Pokemone before that franchise came to the states. Wish I had one of these Starfox 64 cassettes, especially considering how much I love that game.
