Haze mini Preview


There isn't any pictures because im on my psp. So while im waiting for it to install I wanted to give a heads up I got it and to expect a review.

Update #1
Really liking Haze the game is a lot of fun and looks good I would say its about on par with Halo 3 and some stuff looks better in Haze like the water effects when it rains. Right now I'm playing the game on Hard with the crosshair on minimal and Aim Assist off so, basically you cant get any harder than what I'm playing it on. On the bad side: the AI in this game could quite possibly be the dumbest I've ever seen people will just walk with each other, some will shoot the guy 3 or 4 times and walk by, and when you play dead there is usually a guy right in front of you and most of the time he is still there and alive when you get up. Also the dialog is bad for the most part , its really cheesy and repetitive . You can really tell this is going to make its way to the Xbox since they don't make use of a Blu-ray disc and reuse a lot of stuff. Like if I have to hear "I'm a "G" you know me" or "Remember your promise to Marino" one more time I might snap its honestly every 3min. One last thing the game is extremely scripted like at one point in the game when you work for Mantel something happens and you get a Nector disruption and if you look at your guys you shoot them and if you don't look at them of shoot them they will just die for no reason. Also when you get a Nector disruption it lasts until you get to a certain point as in if you go back or something to get ammo it will still be going and it will go on forever until you get to a certain place and when your in a car and go off of a ramp it makes this noise like your in the Dukes of Hazzard. Last thing bullet damage is wonky sometimes you will kill someone with 5 bullets and sometimes it will take a clip or even more, also it has the Doom 3 effect where a single knife will kill someone but it will take 4 wacks or 10-30 bullets.

Resident Evil 4 Has been Won!! (Reveiw)

Resident Evil 4 was arguably the best game on the Gamecube. Later it was ported to the PS2 with more content but the graphics suffered on the weaker system. So when you combine the Graphics from the Gamecube with the extra content from the PS2 + waggle you get the supreme Wii version. Three years ago I played the hell out of the Gamecube version, I got all the way to Krauser, which if you played you know that thats really close to the end and trust me I feel stupid for waiting to buy it (I rented it) and complete this epic adventure. So here is my reveiw.

You play as Leon S. Kennedy (Here^) and you mission is to save the Presidents daughter: Ashley. When Leon gets there and he finds out that there is a bigger problem going on. The game has a Spanish heritage and I learned the C' est' sta' means like oh shit we're about to die (my interpretation) also that all of these Zombies have mommy's STDs (If you played the game that would be a funny). The game uses the Wii abilities better than Mario Galaxy and most other Wii games. With the new waggle features it actually feels like your doing something, like during the game you have to do some button/waggle combinations to either dodge out of the way, jump at the right moment, or beat ass away from a monster. During your first encounter with Krauser you get in a fight where you do a side swipe to do a barrel roll out of the way, which is really bad ass. The graphics hold up well and are presented in 480p and widescreen. The Gamecube was only 480p and the PS2 was both widescreen and 480p. Every thing is presented in great detail and the thing that seems to of got out of hand with Xbox 360 and PS3 is texture pop in there is absolutely NONE and I love that, I rather a game look like this with good anti-aliasing and no texture pop in than a game that is so real that the system cant even load the level fast enough. The sound is encoded in Pro Logic II which actually rivals some PS3/360 games. RE4 is quite long at around 17 hours, taking your time but still going swiftly. There is many Bad-Ass moments in the game and I think this is the best so check this video. **Caution**Spoiler Alert**
So if you need a good game to play and like blood and swearing in Spanish then Resident Evil 4 is for you. If you have a PS2, Gamecube,or Wii you need this game. I personally would play this over GTAIV any day. The game is cheap $30 for Wii and I'm sure cheaper if you can find it for PS2 and Gamecube. Also a few things this game doen't support the Zapper or Gamecube controller. The game does support the Classic controller but I'm not sure how that works I guess it would be basically the Gamecube version. Also the game is in widescreen no matter what, as in if you playing on a 4:3 t.v. you'll see the black bars on the top and bottom and if you have the Wii set to widescreen and your t.v. supports it, it will be in full screen with no black bars (anamorphic widescreen). One last thing if you see a guy with a Chainsaw you either better start screaming C' est' sta' or pull out the trusty magnum. So don't be a stranger go out and buy it!

Excuse Me Ma'am are You Under The Influence?

It was a dark, gloomy, rainy day when I went to the store. I immediately went over to the electronics department, I looked to see what goods they had and nothing to special popped out at me. I went over to the discount section to see what cheapo games they had, and there it was in all of its glory in its blue covered case. I said there is no way this is under $40. I went over to the cashier of whom was a scruffy young fellow who said " Wutda Buyin?" I asked him how much it was and he said "we got good things on sale today stranger" and this is not one of them. "I bought it at a high price". I went home excited to RElive this game 4 a few minutes. I dimmed the lights shut the curtains and fired up my Wii. The game was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I don't remember much of this game since the last time I played it was 3 years ago. I ran past many merchants that appear to be selling purple bandannas and a how-to on how to make fire blue. Then there was this women who kept on knifing me in the face, so I shot her assuming she was a hooker under the influence. She kept getting up wanting more so I shot her in the face 4 more times and her head came off. A little disturbed I ran past and figured that Mexican hooker had the aids. This was my experience with Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition.


This is my second game for the Wii. It was only $29 which is defiantly not a high price. The Wii controls work pretty well but not as good as I would of liked. You have to press the B button which is the trigger and then aim with the Wii-mote. The main problem is you have to move the camera with the analogue stick while in the aim view . The other problem which isn't to bad is that you wiggle the Wii-mote to do a knife swipe. If you move the target to fast Leon breaks out into a Michael Myers knife swipe dance. Overall the game is the same great Gamecube classic that we all know and love with all of the PS2's extras. Ill do a full review when I beat it. In a little while .

Birthday Present Round Up


GIFT #1:
Thursday I got Gran Turismo 5: Prologue which kicked off the Birthday fiasco. GT 5 is a great game and
was most defiantly worth the $40 for
the download. If you need a great game that will show off your HDTV and you have a PS3 defiantly check this one out!


Gift #2:
Saturday I went to target to get a Zune 80 but they were out, so I bought a Zune 8GB
saved me $100. I guess it was supposed to be this way since I got about 4 gifts I wouldn't of got if I didn't save that $100. So far I love my Zune and dont regret getting it at all!

Gift
#3:
The same day I got the Zune I shot over to Game Crazy and grabbed a Dual Shock 3. I was hoping they didnt run out and it turns out they had a whole wall of them so I got one. The controller feels much more stable with the added heft, but really if there is nothing wrong with your Sixaxis I wouldn't pick this one up.

Gift #4:

After owning the Zune for a week I decided to get a dock to really take advantage of wireless sync. The dock has video out but the Zune 8GB doesnt support it so I cant use that but I can have the music go through my t.v. The dock also charges and looks rather good too, from the pictures I've seen it looks like a big black dull brick but actually its shiny and goes with the Zune very nicely.



Gift #5:
While I was getting the dock I seen they had Bioshock for $40. So I picked up this masterpiece $20 off the launch price. Bioshock is a excellent game and I guess during the holiday mix I just skipped over this one. Defiantly worth $40 and if you skipped over it like I did then go pick this up especially at the $40 price tag.


Gift #6:

Saving the big gift for last. I seen on Nintendo Wii Fanboy that Toys R' Us got a ass load of Wiis, so I called and they said they were taking pre orders for the Wii Golden Ticket Event which is a bit over doing it if you ask me. I went up there placed 2 bones on it and got the golden ticket. I was going to skip out of there waving it in the air but either I was going to scar little children or get stabbed and get my golden ticket janked. Today picked it up as well as Mario Galaxy and found the tax on it to be really high I gave the guy $115 and got $1 back, in-case you cant tell thats $315! I get $1 back what kind of stuff is that? So $14 in tax seems rather high but what ever. The Wii-mote is very comfortable to hold the nunchuck on the other hand hurts my middle finger when I hold it for more than a hour. Other than that the system is very solid and I hope it was worth the $250 and from Mario Galaxy I think the Wii has great potential. The graphics are great for being two Gamcubes stuck together, they look like ass on my HDTV in 480i but on the non high definition 56" Sony they look great! Here eventually I hope to get the component cables. Soon I'll do a review on the Wii so check back in the next few days.


So thats it! it was a great Birthday to me and I'm very satisfied with all of my gifts!

Gotta Pick Up Some Wiid

Today I pre-purchased a Wii from Toys R' Us and they gave me a Golden Ticket, how cute. I had to put 2 bones down on it and ill put another $50 down and get Mario Galaxy. Then the following week hopefully Mario Kart, Smash Bros, or No More Heros. I'm excited about it and hopefully it will get used more than my GameCube which actually got used a lot. So ill tell you all what I think tomorrow after I play it for a bit.

Welcomed To The Social

So in Target the other day I picked up a Zune 8gb black. I was going to get the 80gb but they ran out and I thought to my self do I really need 80gb? I have under 1GB of music so I don't think I need 72 more gigabytes plus I save almost $100. The Zune 8gb comes in 4 colors: red, black, green, and pink. I got black and it looks very nice but you can see smuges from your fingers on it but the plastic is very durable and scratch resistant. The screen is made out of glass and looks very nice its 1.8" and is the same QVGA resolution of the Zune 80, so the screen is extremely crisp. The back is made of some form of metal which doesn't scratch and is very smooth. From the pictures I seen it seemed that it was rough kind of metal. The Zune 8gb has every thing the iPods have plus it is more durable and has wi-fi built in which allows you to share pictures and music with other nearby Zune owners. It also allows for something called wireless sync which transfers your music, podcasts, pictures, and movies over your network either when you start charging it or you decide to do it. The battery takes a massive hit when its syncing like that, On another note I like that you can change the wallpaper and the Zune pad is very nice very smooth. The bttom line is if you need a solid player thats not to big but has all of the functionality of a big player then the Zune 8gb is your guy!

Got the Shakes

On Saturday I went a bought the Dual Shock 3. There isn't really much to say, it's basically a Dual Shock 2 but its wireless and has the Sixaxis built in. The controller feels much more hefty and better built than the Sixaxis . Rumble is a great thing to have back on the Playstation and I'm even considering playing Uncharted and Heavenly Sword again to experience the rumble. Another thing many might not know but the original Sixaxis is partially see through which I thought was cool and is now gone in the Dualshock. I don't really think its worth $54 but my Sixaxis was starting to mess up so might as well get a new one with rumble. If your Sixaxis is in good shape I would not pick this up until at least Metal Gear or just wait till the holidays . Other than that its the same great controller with more shakes . Also the Sixaxis had this problem where it would get stuck and keep doing what ever button you were pressing, I haven't experienced this yet and I've played GT for about 10 hours with it and it hasn't happened so hopefully they fixed that problem.

The Drive of My Life


On Friday I downloaded Gran Turismo 5: Prologue and it's awesome! The download weighs in at about 2200MB and with the opening video its around 2500MB. I'm not really sure why the disc version requires such a install but it provides nearly a load less experience. The game features about 60 cars and 6 tracks each track a 1 variant like one turns Daytona into a road course, so basically 12 tracks that you can play on . The graphics are about on par with the videos theres a some aliasing problems going on which hopefully will be worked out before GT5. The online play is smooth for the most part and any car you unlock or buy in the single player you can play online. Online theres classes Beginner, Intermediate, Expert, and Pro. You have instant access to Beginner but have to unlock the others as you progress through the single player: C, B, and A class. The game is really worth $40 however you buy it, but I don't recommend that you buy it if your not going to play online, today I pretty much went thought the single player in one sitting. If your a fan of these types of games then its a must buy, if your not sure download GT HD off the PS Store.

Theres a Problem here..... eg WTF people


There is a HUGE problem going on in the gaming biz. Today Next-Gen compiled a list of the top selling games of the last 12 months. There is many shockers in this list and shows people need to be shot. With not one PSP exclusive game in the top 100 thanks to those bastards who illegally download games also no PC games either. Mainly the real shocker is some of the other high profile game sales, how about how Mario Party 30 I mean 8 has sold more than every single PS3 game put together or how Transformers: The Game sold more copies than Mass Effect, BioShock, and The Orange Box Combined. This shows that dumb ass bitches should no longer be able to buy games. With A+ games like Uncharted, Burnout Paradise don't even reach a Million copies. Then with High School Musical Complete Gay Saga, out sells the likes of the Orange Box, Metroid Prime 3, Devil May Cry 4, and Dirt. I think the question is WTF people do you not have eyes or ears, or have you just not ever played a good game. I wish I knew what kids would like High School Musical (on the DS yet) over DIRT, Motor Storm or even Singstar.I feel this is a outrage and now see why people keep making movie games and making the same game over and over with 20 new mini-games (Mario Party). This list shows people need a wake-up call, if people keep downloading illegal or buying shitty games there wont be anymore good games, just Mario Party 55 with more waggle and High School Musical complete pink man thong edition is going to be the only successful games and they don't deserve it! So everyone grab a Pepsi MAX and WAKE UP PEOPLE!!

I have Won!! Ninja Gaiden DS [Reveiw]

Has it been 4 months already?
Today I beat Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword for the DS. The game was a lot easier and shorter than what I thought it was going to be (9 hours)...but as promised here is my review!

**Review**
Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword is my favorite DS game by far! The graphics are great the sound is awesome! The first thing you notice when you pop in NG: DS is the graphics, after playing Sigma on the PS3 I would of thought to see little short black things with sticks but I was wrong. The game has really good graphics think Legend of Dragoon . The character models look great and they look just like the characters from the Xbox/Ps3 version. The game play also is very well done, while holding the DS like cards or a book you slash the touch screen with the stylus and look like a jack ass while doing that, but it works great. Since I haven't played my DS to much I didn't have many scratches on the touch screen, well..... now I do! Probably 3-5 more using the stock stylus. Really the only sad thing is the game plays like Super Mario 64 where you go to rooms to play the level. In the beginning some one gets captured from the Black Spider Clan I'll leave the who up to you and eventually you teleport to the shadow realm or something similar to it and try to get the girl back before they kill her. Now basically how the game goes is: you go to a room kill some people and fight a boss. I believe you do this 14 times(?). But the game doesnt get harder as you go, the 4th to last boss is the hardest to beat while the last boss was quite easy, it was practically fighting Alma from the first game. The games story and game play is very good and fun but does NG use all of the DS's many features to help it along its journy? The answer is yes it uses all of them. The Touch Screen is used to fight and to draw the Ninpo symbols. The mic is used to wake up characters and discover little secrets. The wi-fi is used to connect to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and compare your scores with others. Overall the game is great and is a must buy if your a fan of challenging games. This game uses all of the DS's features and uses them well. The game is on the easy side especially for a Ninja Gaiden game, the thing that makes this so easy is when you go to a save station you get health and you Ninpo refilled. If you want a challenge closer to the console version play on Head Ninja which you unlock after beating it on normal. The game is sometimes really frustrating but overall is a great buy and at $34 theres no reason not to get it if you own a DS. This game has shown me what the DS is capable of and shows me the DS can be a great platform for something other than mini games.

Give a Quick shout out.....

I just wanted to give a Quick shout out to Road Runner for being amazingly quick.. I'm currently rocking a steady 12.6mb/s. Big step up from the not even 1.5mb/s I was getting from AT&T.. I'll think of Road Runner during the 4min it takes to download a 150MB video from the Playstation Store..

EYE Can See!!


Also on my trip to get NG:DS I seen a PS EYE, eyeing me up... get it... ehh never mind. Anyway I bought it and its surprisingly big and a lot better build quality than the Xbox Live camera...



So far I bought Trials Of Topoq ( 2 pac?).. No its not to see who killed 2 pac.. But you guide a ball through stairs like levels where when you move your hands and little squares pop up that move the ball.. Its hard to explain. The game isn't to bad its not going to win game of the year but what do you expect for $5.. So far its ok and with more games out and more hopefully coming it will not go the way of the Xbox cam.

The Dragon Sword is Back and Going Right Through My DS


Thats right..... Today is the start of major damage to my DS. I just went and got Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword for the Nintendo DS. Many of you might of thought I didn't have a DS since I don't really talk about it. Well I have had one since launch and the last game I bought for it was Wario Ware DS which came out the following February after the DS's launch. In case your counting thats not a single game for it since February 2005, 3 years ago!.. Now I'm finally getting some use out of it. But anyway back to the game.. This game takes place 6 months after the events of the first Ninja Gaiden (SIGMA). The game looks very good for a DS game as you can see from the screen shot above. I was very curious on how Ninja Gaiden would handle on the DS, more specifically on how attacking with the touch screen would work. With some getting used to it works surprisingly well, EX: you slash the stylus on your enemies very smiler to the Zelda game on the DS, and to throw shurikans(?) ninja stars by tapping the enemy. You also hold the DS like a book, which you get used to very quick.. Also on another note when holding the DS like this it looks more appropriate while your on the shitter. Just my 2 cents... So I've only played the first 2 chapters and I don't have much to talk about but what I do have to say is its a lot easier than Sigma.. Long story short if you have a DS and like the Ninja Gaiden games eg games that make you go nuts then you should go get it..
Review coming in like 4 months when I beat it, maybe longer if I have to go through multiple DS's..

Gran Turismo 5: Prologue 6gb install?


Yeah thats right Gran Turismo fans, GT5: Prologue has a 6GB install this is more than the download all together. I'm not really sure why I guess to keep load times to a minimal. In case you didn't hear the download version weighs in at a little more than 1GB, but the catch is you have to download each video individually. I'm not really sure how that works either, do you not get a opening video if you don't download it? Or is it the video from when you unlock a vehicle. No ones really sure but this must suck for you 20GB PS3 owners, you already have your hard drive full from DMC4, Lost Planet , and now GT 5.... Well its not all bad news, the cars look nice and I hear newegg.com is having a sale on hard drives.. So get to it you have about 50 min to order a new hard drive.......

Xbox Live's Main Plan..

So as you may or may not know in the Fall Update for Xbox Live, Microsoft banned all GOLD and silver members under the age of 18 from downloading "M" rated content. When asking Microsoft about this Microsoft replied something like, we want to protect our underage users from playing or seeing "M" rated content as followed by the E.S.R.B. and Nintendo and Sony should do the same.. Thats not the exact quote but its very similar to what they said. Now I can see where there going with this.. but why are the parental controls there if Microsoft is going to tell you what you can and can not play or watch! I don't know anyone above 18 that has parents that would block them from playing "M" rated content. Now imagine how mad I am, when I pay the same $50 a year as everyone else but get 1/4 of the downloads. If I wanted to play games where you pet bunnies and dumb shit like that I would own a Wii, what I want are demos and videos of games that have people blowing into a million pieces and getting chainsawed in the face! So.... after numerous calls to India... I mean Xbox customer support the response I get is to make a new silver account but lie about my age... WOW! Really thinking of the kids there huh Microsoft? So after thinking a lot I have come to the conclusion.... this is a way for Microsoft to get more Xbox Live users! Think about it.. They ban 65% of there users and trust me its 65% I have played Halo 3 online, from downloading 3/4 of the content released and if say 40% of those users call customer support and get told to make a new account to download "M" rated items they get 40% more Xbox Live users. So Microsoft out of 8million users how many have 2 accounts to download the demos you blocked them from? I believe this was there plan on how to get more subscribers. This is just coming from someone that was told they cant download "M" rated or "RP" rated content. I dont know maybe ill go play 36/53 "M" rated original Xbox games or my 14/20 "M" rated Xbox 360 games that I own! By the way I'm going to be 17 in 19 days and still not old enough to get a fucking demo that I pay $50 a year for!

Wheel Or No Wheel


So in 24 days it will be my Birthday and I've been thinking about what to get. In case you didn't want to count that means my Birthday is on April 17th. I'm going to be turning 17 and in one more year I'll be able to download "M"stuff off of Xbox Live (BASTARDS), but any who, on my Birthday Gran Turismo 5: Prologue comes out and I was wondering about the wheel. The wheel (pictured above^) costs a stiff $150. This would be a big step up from the wheels that I had on the Dreamcast which were cheap plastic and didnt even turn more than 90*. Just a f.y.i. the GT wheel turns 900*, which is all the way around + a 1/2, like in a real car. So if anyone can comment or recommend on why I should or shouldn't get I would appreciate it.

Why Pioneer? Why?



Today is a sad day. Pioneer, makers of the best televisions as of right now has announced that it will stop making plasma flat panels and move on to using Sharp LCD panels. This is to cut costs and help bring Pioneer back into the green. This doesn't bode well for Project Kuro which is Pioneer's tv that boasts a infinite contrast ratio for true blacks and is only 9mm thick. This is one millimeter thicker than a iPod Touch and I believe is thinner than a iPhone. Pioneer says they will begin selling Kuro (Kuro means Black in Japanese) LCDs in the later half of 2008. Hopefully they can do to LCDs that they did to plasmas. These TVs will remain in my most wanted list for awhile. Now where did I put that extra $6,000? ;-)

***Update Pioneer isn't canceling there plasmas there going to start to use the same panels that are in Panasonic tv's!***

Just a Heads Up



Just a quick note on whats going on. First of all I'm moving so I've been pretty busy to update the blog. I just wanted to make every one aware of whats going on. But second I bought a few games off of the PSN like Pixel Junk Monsters, Go! Sports Skydiving, Syphon Filter, and the original Warhawk. I'm not going to give a review of these games, but will give a quick insight on whether or not you should buy them. First up Pixel Junk Monsters. This is kind of expensive at $10 but at launch was $6.99 which was when I bought it. This game is good but hard its kind of like a puzzle game where you set up your towers of weapons and creatures walk through and you hope your guns kill them before they reach you base. Overall its good but cant really recommend it.

Go! Sports Skydiving is one of the most anticipated Go! games and at $5 you really cant complain. The game only uses the SixaxiS just like Go! Sports Ski but worse. You have to get in certin positions and this requires goofy as hell controller movements. First of all the controller is supposed to be flat in your hands where R1 and L1 face your T.V. then to rotate your character your supposed to be able to just rotate it (counter) clockwise, but to my frusration you have to flick it and hold so it gets in the position. I cant even tell you how many times I go into a spinning frenzy. Then you have to pull the controller toward you air plane style and your guy goes up or down. This game is ok if your a fan of the ski game, but if your not then I wouldn't check this out other than that has lots of modes and could be worth it if you can handle the controls.

Syphon Filter and (PSX) Warhawk. Syphon Filter is a awesome the game, graphics, sound, and gameplay are very well done and with the Type 4 controls works extremely well on the PSP. If you were looking for a game to buy off the PSN thats a PSX game then Syphon Filter Should be it! On the other hand warhawk is not so good. The game looks like poo (PSX launch title) and the real life people doing the cut scenes its not worth it. Also to add insult to injury it doesn't use a memory card it uses the codes that we all know and hate (ahh Zombies ate my neighbors comes to mind). This is not a game you want for PSP especially since the codes you have to remember are 8 buttons long. In the end check out Syphon Filter and avoid (PSX) Warhawk like the plague!

Like W.T.F.


So last night as I was playing C.O.D.4 I was getting very frustrated, getting killed by the over powered and crazy accurate M16 and the over accurate RPD. I decided its time to put COD on the shelf until things get fixed. COD is going the way of Socom 2 quick, with people hacking there saved file (PS3) and changing the color of there name and putting button icons in there clan tag. This is how Socom 2 went down hill but COD is getting there much faster! With Infinity Ward working on a patch, I was thinking of every thing they need to fix to get me and many others to play COD4 again.
So heres a LIST.......

~ M16 Assault Rifle:
Accuracy, Power, and Recoil, are extremely unrealistic. No gun is going to kill you across the map in three shots like that, it almost takes more sniper bullets to kill someone than it takes the M16 to kill someone and the M16 can be more accurate at most times, since you don't have to worry about holding your breath.

~ Barrett .50 Sniper Rifle:
Not accurate enough and not powerful enough. Lets talk about accuracy first, the Barrett has a stand on the front which should make, most if not all movement in the scope go away, if your in the prone position. The Barrett in COD shouldn't move the same in the standing position as in the prone position. Second the power is garbage in the game. The Barrett can kill some one as far away as 5 miles in one shot in the appropriate place (head, torso) and it should the bullet it uses is almost the size of the Xbox 360 controller (from "B" to the Left Stick) its huge, it should kill you in one hit. Unlike in COD 4 it take on average 2 shots torso area with stopping power.
~Other Semi Automatic Sniper Rifles(M21): if a gun is suppose to be powerful and shoots fast like that the recoil would be insane.

Heavy Machine Guns (RPD, M60): A gun as big and powerful as a RPD or a M60 are going to have recoil I don't think putting a Red dot scope on a heavy machine gun is going to make it recoil less and be as accurate as a M16, its just not going to happen.

Other Complaints I don't agree with

~P90-
too strong . Yes its strong but you have to be such a high level to get it and it doesn't have the range so it balances out.

Other things that need Fixed. At least in PS3 version

~Connecting back to Part
y after game ends, or host leaves.

~
Be able to Mute annoying people or over excessive breathers.

~ More respawn areas! I Hate spawning in front of a group of people, or a person I kill spawns right near me.

~ In game Friends list
(One thats on XMB)

~ In game messaging.

GAME OF THE YEAR...





Uncharted is the best game I played all year. The graphics, sound, and game play are the best I've experienced all year. The game is a bit on the short side, around 8-10 hours but there pure bliss. This game really shows what the Playstation 3 is capable of. The bright colors, tropical forests, and gorgeous vistas, really show off your HDTV (720p-1080i). If you don't have this game and have a PS3 your nuts by not buying it. Uncharted is the Gears of War for PS3, it shows that the PS3 is truly the power-house Sony said it was. Uncharted is a really great game and its a shame it didn't sell as many copies as it should of.

Best Shooter

Call of Duty 4

Call of Duty 4 is the Best Shooter of the Year. The is single player is awesome, from sneaking missions, to sniping missions, to guns blazing. The single player is one of the best in a shooter, and I believe all gullied up is the best mission in any single player game, but where the game shines is multiplayer. COD4 rivals the likes of Socom for best multiplayer. The ranking system is the coolest part of COD online, every time you go up you get something like a gun or new challenges, so it keeps the experience fresh. Overall great game for any system. But wait until the patch to pick this one up!



Hardest Game of the Year


Ninja Gaiden Sigma

Ninja Gaiden Sigma was truly the hardest game of the year. The challenging bosses, distant save points, and low health potions will stretch your patience to the limit. This game was also gorgeous and at the time showed why the Playstation 3 was going to be a graphical powerhouse! Ninja Gaiden runs at 1920x1080 60fps (1080p). This game is hard, beautiful, and a great reason to get a Playstation 3!


Riskiest but a good change to the series

Socom US. Navy Seals
Tactical Strike

Socom Tactical Strike is a awesome game for the PSP! This is the first Socom game that is made by Slant Six. Instead of going the way that Zipper was heading Slant Six made Socom Tactical Strike a Strategy game much like Full Spectrum Warrior. This game has amazing graphics for a PSP game and rivals the graphics found in Socom 2 (PS2). Socom TS is a great game but isn't really a portable game,with long missions its not very good to play on the bus to school or in study hall, since you cant play a little and shut it off, unless you want to put the PSP into sleep mode, which is a nice feature but I wouldn't do that since the PSP is one hot piece of hardware. Kidding aside if your a PSP owner and liked Full Spectrum Warrior you should do yourself a favor and pick this one up, or at least try the demo over here.



Best Long Running Series


Half Life Series

With the Orange Box coming out recently I noticed how awesome and realistic the Half Life series is. Half Life Games are beautiful in a realistic way, unlike in Gears of War where everything is bumpy and shiny, the Half life series takes everything realistically instead of huge monuments and stuff like that there are brick houses, instead of some crazy assault vehicle you get a beat up car or a junky dune buggy. Also the voice acting and story line are top notch and deserve more credit. These are nice touches that make the game enjoyable. So check out the Orange Box and find out for your self if you haven't done so yet!

Best Voice Acting


Heavenly Sword

Heavenly Sword is the first game of the trilogy to appear on the PS3 and it was a sight for sore eyes. Basically pulling the PS3 from the slump it was experiencing and pretty much fulfilled the hype it had unlike Lair which should be getting better here soon. Heavenly Sword was short but it was great, the voice acting was phenomenal . The voice actors were very believable and passionate about what they were saying. The game overall was very good and was different that what was currently available. This is a game you should most defiantly check out!
