Hey guys. Please make a donation to me :( (Just kidding). I'm struggling right now :( My need for games is consuming all my money:(
I still haven't had enough cash to get my DA2 and all these other must-buy games are coming out within the next months (Duke Nukem Forever anyone?). Alas, I shall just have to work hard and be a little patient. I'll write a review of Dragon Age 2 when i get the money and play it for a bit. For now, I'll download Abe's Odysee (Hellz yeah!)

Dragon Age II awesomeness
Sorry for not posting yesterday guys. I was at my best friend's party and was extremely tired when i got home. Please excuse me :( I came here asap to make my promised report on Dragon Age II's demo.
To start off. I just gotta say this. IT'S SO AWESOME!!!!!
That said, let me actually start.
Upon the download, I had pretty high expectations for the game. Not as high as i had for the game, because, well... it's just the demo. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the demo. It passed my expectations for the full game itself. It's just that amazing.
In the demo you play the first part of the game (the epic introduction) and a part a little bit further passed the introduction. When you start up the new game and select your class and gender(unfortunately not your race. Human is the default), you're welcomed by a cutscene that throws you into confusion and interrogation. A flashback of note takes place as the narrator tells the story of "The Champion of Kirkwall". This is where you actually start playing and witness the awesome gameplay.
I only had time to play through as a mage(unfortunately), but I shall play through as the rogue or warrior soon. The gameplay has changed drastically, but for the better. It's more action-packed and fast paced than in Origins. The "auto-attack" has been taken out of the game, so you're going to have to spam attack if you want to attack. But with the vast array of spells and skills you're going to be using, you wont even be thinking about just normal attacking. The spells themselves look 10 times more amazing than in origins, and they actually look like they hurt (one problem i had with Origins is that the spells didn't look brutal enough).
The visuals themselves are just simply amazing. The updated graphics are really pleasant to look at.
Another implementation was the dialogue wheel from the Mass Effect series. It's a nice change from the mute character to the new fully voiced character of Hawke. The only problem I have with it is that the wheel will tell you the effect of the options you select through images appearing in the middle. For instance the "good" choice will be a picture of wings and a halo. I would much prefer that the images were removed and the choices of the dialogue wheel were completely random (like the good choice would be different each time instead of constantly being on the top right of the wheel). But that won't irritate enough to ruin the epic game.
All-in-all, the DA2 demo is fun and you should download it if you want to try out DA2 before the release. It'll wet the appetite and keep you stable till the actual release. This demo will definitely persuade you into pre-ordering. So check out the demo guys. And have fun with it as much as i did.
I'm off to play some Killzone 3 now(yes, finally got it!). I'll see you guys online.

And yet i wait some more
Alas, my precious Killzone is still not part of my collection. I have not had any time to pick it up today. I've been at school till about 4-ish, and had to do tons of work :( So yeah, KIllzone will definitely be a part of my gaming family tomorrow! No questions asked.
As for now, I'm trying to keep busy while the Dragon Age II demo is downloading onto my PS3 (slow internet sucks, I know). But yeah, that should keep me fairly entertained until tomorrow (hopefully). I'm first going to try out the mage class and then the other 2(warrior and rogue). I played mage in my first playthrough of Origins, and I'm curious as to see what BioWare did to my favourite class. From the gameplay that I've seen so far, the changes are pretty positive. But we'll see about that when i actually start playing.
Oh yeah. I wrote my Biology paper today. It wasn't difficult at all. Just a few simple questions about meiosis, mitosis and protein synthesis. All-in-all Pretty easy stuff. I'll keep you guys posted about how much i got. (I got 85% for my English test I wrote the other day^^)
Well, that's it for now. I'm going to post some proper stuff once i get Killzone in my possession and play some DA2. I'm off to try out the demo. Read tomorrow for a full proper blog-post!

NOOOOOO!
As you know I was so excited to get my copy of Killzone today. I was so prepared and everything. I got my gaming shelf all organized to welcome the new family member into my home. Then it struck me. I realized that I'm writing a Biology exam tomorrow and needed to study for it as it's going to determine my future of becoming a doctor.
So alas, i did not have time to pick up my copy today. The fact that i had loads of homework didn't help my cause either. So the chances are I'll either pick it up tomorrow or Friday(that'll be a definite). This frustrates me, and my chances of getting my precious is slim for tomorrow, but it's still there. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed.
I hope everyone that pick up their copy already is enjoying it loads and kicking some serious ass. I shall join you in the days ahead. But for now: I'm off to study for Biology.
Wish me luck!

PS. The Dragon Age II demo is finally out! Guys, I suggest you all download it and check it out. I've been waiting so long for this game, and i know it's going to be awesome. Another bonus is that BioWare is going to give everyone who downloaded the demo 2 free in-game items if the downloads reach 1-million. So get to downloading! I wants me a free item! Haha.
Happy gaming guys!
