I am still alive...

I haven't posted many entries lately due to some projects that have been tying me down.One project that has me rather excited, is that I recently bought an original Xbox! So, expect reviews of Xbox games sometime in the near future.

I have also played a lot of great games over the summer that are dying to be reviewed. These include the Metal Gear Solid games, Gravity Rush, and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

While the reviews will come, they won't be here tomorrow. I have school to prepare for, so the blog is not my top priority. I am also on the school newspaper, so that is going to take up a lot of my time.

Amidst the ashes, the new site rises...

Okay! The site is now fully updated and fixed. All features are added properly and working 100%.

Here is a full list of the new features:
  • A search-bar
  • Custom "Previous", "Home" and "Next" buttons (now Newer, Older, and Home)
  • Fixed the slide-show (it was a picasa issue; from now on, all images are hosted on Photobucket)
  • Added the "Labels" box
  • Changed the color scheme of the blog from Orange/Blue/Dark Grey/ and other various colors. Now it is Yellow/Blue/Light Grey/Dark Grey. 
  • Changed the template from "Picture Window" to a modified "Awesome Inc."
  • Added a new "Summary Box" that is in the style of the Shin Megami Tensei level up box (for game reviews only).
  • Grouped the PSP and Vita sections, as well as Anime and Manga.
  • Changed Favicon, my blog avatar, and the website banner. 
Now, I am very pleased with the website. It has a more mature look to it and is much more simplistic and clean.

Major Updates On the Way...

At the current moment, I am unhappy with the current look of the site, so tomorrow/ Thursday, I will be changing the look of the blog as well as adding a few features. One feature I am rather excited about is the addition of a box at the bottom of each review that gives the reader a 'wrap up' of the review. In this wrap-up box, the reader will be able to see my opinion of the:
  • Graphics
  • Story
  • Sound/Voice
  • Re-playability
  • (and most importantly) Should you play it? 
Expect to see these bars on each of my past and future reviews in the coming days.

In addition to the box, I will be changing the color scheme of the site, fixing the slide show on the home page, and introducing custom "Previous", "Next", and "Home" buttons.

So, if the website looks like a whole bunch of weirdness tomorrow, it is just because of some updates.
