Well I've been starved for some music lately but hopefully I will get my fix soon. After an absence of Gorillaz since Demon Days comes Plastic Beach in early March. I've always loved Gorillaz's music and I expect great things from this album. The single 'Stylo' is available right now and I advise to check it out, the song grew on me although I was indifferent at the time after a void of Gorillaz.
I have also had a void of Daft Punk and will be waiting for the Tron Legacy soundtrack, as well as the movie, to be released end of this year. I could listen to old Daft Punk albums and usually it is so stimulating (except a few tracks in the older albums that I never seemed to like). I usually fall behind on album releases as I tend to listen to anything (except Country) and might have to lean on my video game OST's till the next great album drops.
If I end building a good library of great music, I might consider improving my headphone and speakers to really enjoy the magical music. Currently I have Alessandro MS1's and Denon C700's in terms of headphone / earphones since I do not good dedicated speaker system (due to apartment living). Audiophile life would lead to an expensive road but I'd like to get some M-Audio reference speakers if I have the budget and room for them. Otherwise I still love my MS1's and it delivers great music to my ears.
Hopefully these posts come more often than these sudden chunks of random blurbs.

2010 1st half Nintendo Games
So the Nintendo Media Summit just occurred and some release dates were announced. The bigger names include Super Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid: Other M, Sin and Punishment, and Monster Hunter Tri. In the WiiWare side of things, I'm looking forward to Megaman 10 for March 1st. So lots of good games to look forward to in the upcoming months.
Early first quarter releases for Nintendo was quite weak until No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle and Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All Stars came out (two ridiculously long game titles). Both games were played quite consistently till I decided to attack my backlog. NMH2 was an amazing game although I would have enjoyed more mini-games, beam katana upgrades (like in NMH), and minus the huge jump in ranks after some boss battles. I would have preferred 20+ bosses but I'm being greedy. TvC is also a great game where I use my Wii Hori Fighting Stick to play and is probably the best 2D fighter on the Wii. Both games are amazing and everyone should at least try them out!
Since I am an RPG fan (if you haven't caught on yet), hopefully this year I'll get my hands on Arc Rise Fantasia, the Last Story, XenoBlade, and hopefully a localization for Tales of Graces. I still haven't finished the GC Tales of Symphonia (shame on me) and hopefully I will find the time and focus to play through the amazing game.
2010 looks to be a strong year for Wii titles and hopefully it won't disappoint. Fingers crossed for New Zelda for the Holiday season!

Update
Well it's been over half a year and haven't really touched the blog for quite some time. Since last summer, I've been figuring out my life and killing time doing it. I just beat Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers this week and although a Final Fantasy fan, was not very happy when the game ended. At the end I will list my backlog of games that I have in mind but I probably will not have the time to complete those games. Very close to beating Punchout! finally but I'm slowly beating one fighter at a time (defending the belt). Only 2 or 3 more opponents then I'll be happy enough. I may never beat RFF completely to my satisfaction but it's a game that can be played continuous to no end even after all the story.
Here is my stupid list of backlog games which may include some that I've missed I'm sure. Otherwise if there are some other games that I haven't mentioned but should play, leave a comment!
-Rune Factory Frontier
-Tales of Symphonia
-Pikmin 2
-Punchout!
-Little King's Story
-Muramasa
-Phantom Brave Wii
-Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
-House of the Dead: Overkill
-Deadspace Extraction
-Metroid Prime Trilogy ???
