I have been busy working so that I can get a few more toys and by the looks of it I am going to be pimping out both the site with a possible new host and integration into a forum for tech help.
I will be getting a Xbox 360 ASAP possibly within the next few days. After this point I will be purchasing some web space for a year and seeing if I can get the Data Stream Gamers network back up again.
My new Xbox/Windows Live tag is (Dark666Dante)*
*Without the Brackets
Heres hoping for the future!

Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock (PC)
I got the game today, and I am very upset that my controller is at a friends house because now I need to play with my 360 controller or my mouse and keyboard. The controller has its ups and downs and the keyboard+mouse has been working out the best.
The game still needs a guitar because half the game is playing on the guitar, otherwise its just a rock version of DDR.
I really enjoy the song list that they have, some of my favorites include, Black Magic Woman - Santana, Even Flow - Pearl Jam, Through Fire and Flames - Dragonforce...
I will give it more of a review once I am able to retrieve my controller.
**UPDATE**
I was almost complete the career mode using my mouse and keyboard but unfortunately when I turned the game on this morning it said that the saved game was corrupt and that I would have to continue without loading a saved game. I am back to square one.

IcIrIs is Back!
That is right people, I am back again. I have been working and such and it has made my website posting life a little more difficult to find time for.
With work I am now able to buy more toys for myself and get a lot more games an I already got.
Here are some new games I have purchased since the last post.
Call of Duty 4 (PC)
Need for Speed Pro Street (PC)
Gears of War (PC)
Guitar Hero III (360)
Games I plan to purchase soon:
Guitar Hero III (PC)
Unreal Tournament 3 (PC)
Assassins Creed (PC)
Half-Life 2: The Orange Box (PC)
Crysis (PC)
Soldier of Fortune: Payback (PC)
Super Mario Galaxies (Wii)
Out of the games I have been playing Call of Duty 4 the most. I have found it to be one of the best games I have ever played. Once I started playing Singleplayer I was hooked. I played the entire campaign (although short) from start to finish including the hidden level at the end of the credits. (All of which I did on Veteran)
Gears of War I got but I have been getting stuck at parts because I try and play co-op and a lot of the time the person doesn't know what they are doing and then leave so I have to start again from the last check point.
Need for Speed: Pro Street I got but got part way though and went back to COD4 for now. I will defiantly finish NFS:PS just not yet. My goal is to unlock the P90 in multilayer in COD4 which isn't unlocked till rank 40, I am only rank 19 thus far. (with work and all).
Guitar Hero 3 I bought because I wished to play it when ever I was at my friends house and the PC version was not out yet. So I got the 360 version and played it at my friends house. I am now going to get the PC version once payday comes around so that I can learn how to do some of the songs on Expert.
Unreal Tournament 3 (PC) - I will be getting this game at some point maybe not at launch but close to it. I always get the new Unreal games however I never keep them for very long, I end up selling them or trading them in at EB.
Assassins Creed (PC) - I was so upset when this game was pushed back however they need to do what they need to do. If it makes the game come out with a few less bugs and less patches to download fine by me. I would rather companies take a few extra months and come out with something stable than me buy an incomplete game.
Half-Life 2: The Orange Box (PC) - I have been hearing nothing but good things about HL2 Episodes 1-2 as well as Portal. So eventually I will be picking this game up and I wish to try out Team Fortress 2.
Crysis (PC) - I have been waiting to see if my dad will buy this game so that I can play the single player. I have no desire to get this game for the multilayer. I will however get the game if he doesn't get it before I finish Gears of War and Need for Speed: Pro Street.
Soldier of Fortune: Payback (PC) - I have been waiting for them to come out with a new and improved SOF just so that I can quench my blood thirst every once in a wile. Other than that I have no desire to play much of the game.
Super Mario Galaxies (Wii) - One of my best friends owns a Wii, and if he does not get SMG I will end up getting it so that I can play it. A lot of my friends have been raving about the game and I figured if its that good its worth picking up some time.
Well that is it for now, I hope to get back to posting regularly. Maybe down the road getting a much better web cam so that I can start another Video Blog.

Totally Late Post
I have been meaning to start posting things on my blog again, however I have just been forgetting to do so. So well, lets play catchup.
New games list:
(PC) DiRT
(PC) Lost Planet
(PC) Shadowrun
I am going to be writing full reviews asap but here is the just of it.
Dirt: Highly addictive ultra realistic racing game. I love rally racing a ton, and have always loved playing the Collin McRae games, but they have really done a good job with this one. The physics is absolutely amazing, the entire environment is destructible or if it isn't able to be busted up it busts up the car you are driving. I am using a 360 controller with the game and it works great, have yet to get the urge to install my steering wheel again since I have been reinstalling windows and got my 360 controller.
Lost Planet: Great scenery, the storyline would make a great movie, and all around awesome game play. On my computer the game would bug out on the main menu and run really slow which was quite annoying but made me play it more then one level at a time before taking a break because I didn't want to exit the game. It did however have very low replay value, I beat the game and only go one every once in a wile to replay some of the boss battles but not continue playing hardcore.
Shadowrun: Crap, I absolutly hated what they did with this title, sure it had some cool things you could do, with the teleporting through the walls, but it just had such a wanabe CS feel mixed with the Shadowrun RPG that it just turned into crap. As well as if someone did not have a 360 controller the controls are retarded. I would not recommend getting this game to anyone.
BF2 Achievements: I have not been playing this at all since I have been getting a whole slue of new games constantly that have been keeping my busy, and with the release of BioShock once I am done DiRT 100% (Yes I will finish 100% of the races) I will be starting BioShock and by the looks of it I might be stuck playing that game over and over again.
BioShock: I am downloading the demo ATM but I would expect even before playing it from what I have heard and the videos that I have seen, I will be getting the game for sure, however the demo will hold me off till I get it, I will probably play the demo 3-4 times easy without getting bored of it.
Online Communities: As most people know I visit a lot of online communities, and I have to say that it is nice to be able to talk to someone when you are on the computer late at night and no one is on msn. I know it is sad that I visit them regularly but, eh, what can I do (I live in a small town). Anyways, on the one, I am starting to get uber popular. I don't know how many people know but on Nexopia if you are a member and you post in the forums you normally get flamed at unless you are a hot chick. Well anyways, I have gotten to the point that I am regular enough that I do not get flamed on.
Reviews for games coming soon....

Gamespot Emblems
As it is I have the following Emblems:
Registered Member
Neighborly
Pushover
PC Aficionado
Reader's Choice 2005 Chooser
Vote Rocker
Public Access
Turkey Day
I Voted
Virtually There: E3 2007 Microsoft Conference
Virtually There: E3 2007 Gamespot Show Addict
This is all fine and dandy but my problem is not getting the other two that I am entitled too. I watched all of the E3 coverage, I woke up to make sure I saw it all. I should have the Nintendo one as well as the PlayStation. If out of the two I was not to get one it would be the Nintendo one because it was the opening of the day and I missed the first half; for sure I should have the PlayStation.
Not that it really means anything I just am annoyed that I am one of the only people that I know of that watched E3 like I was the E3 addict.
