2008-05-13T13:30:00.000-06:00

So I found myself just craving to draw, and having no time at home. Girlfriend, friends, playing video games and just life, kept me from drawing. I decited to change that, I started doing some quick doodle each day on my wacom tablet at work. Each of these doodles took me about 5-10 mins. I think they turned out great but the wizard is my fav. I look forward to doing more of theses they are a life saver for me.

Uncharted Review

2007-12-21T11:44:00.000-07:00

Very few games actually grab my attention and hold on through the entire game. “Uncharted, Drake’s Fortune” a new and original game for the PS3, is one of those games. The game really plays like a movie, almost never having a dull moment, you really grow to love the characters. There are three main characters Nate Drake, the hero who has a sarcastic fun attitude, Elena, a news reporter, who brings in a little romance, and Sullie, an older friend of Drake’s and is a…well you need to play the game to find out more about this guy.
This game is awesome need I say more. Lot’s of combat and mystery. Although I thought this game was great the fighting gets a little old and boring. You do the same thing over and over again but close to the end of the game they do a twist on you which totally changes how you fight. It really is perfect timing. I give it a 9.6 rating.

Some of my favorite video games include:
1. Resident Evil 4
2. Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune
3. Super Mario Galaxy
4. Zelda: Twilight Princess
5.Metroid Prime: Corruption
6.Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
7.Shadow of the Colossus
8.Zelda: Ocarina of Time
9.Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance
10.The Dig

Dream House

2007-11-15T18:39:00.000-07:00
