I consider myself a Call of Duty fan. I've been playing the franchise for years; since the very first when it was released in 2003. I remember seeing my dad walk in with the EB Games bag, and hunching over his shoulder, eyeing the download bar. Things have changed though for the franchise, and for me since that fateful download reached its end. No longer am I at the end of Elementary School; an...
Basically the games I'm looking forward to coming out in the next year, 'hopefully.' -Brutal Legend. I have been looking forward to this game since it was announced mainly because it's the game coming after the masterpiece that was Psyconauts, and Tim Schafer is great. Also, I wanted to support this game to keep Double Fine alive and to give a finger to Activison. On a side note, I'm going to l...
Wow, when was the last time since I did a real blog? Months, years, decades? Nah, probably just a couple months, but I've still been around, and actually writing something meaningful and pressing the 'New Blog Post' button is a hard task. Anyway, I have done, and played a lot in the last few months so lets get things started, in bullets! : P -School finished nearly a month ago now, and I must s...
To those going to see the Orphan, you are retarded, but alas, I would not click this link as it talks about the 'twist' that happens in this movie to explain why this little girl is so fucked up. Honestly, this movie should be a comedy with that bright idea in the script.
As I sit here in my school library, avoiding the blocking system that my school has enabled on gaming websites, that are apparently worse than the shit you can find on Youtube. Although, I already have this annoyance, I have the continued, anoying voice that is uttered by the librarian. From what I can tell, she likes nothing more than the word, "SHHHH!" Now a librarian has classically been kno...
So we all know Snakes on a Plane was a terribly awesome movie, and it had a lot of swears, boobs, and penis before it got munched off by a snake, but remember that great line from Samuel L. Jackson? Well listen to the edit of it:
So around two weeks ago EA sent me the Battlefield Hero's beta key, probably for the fact that I'm running Windows XP 64 Bit, which most people don't have, but that's beside the point. For the last two weeks have been dabbling in it, and have created some presumptions in my mind about the final game. The first thing that caught my eye were the graphics. After spending countless hours inside TF2...
Ha good one Gamestop. I was actually about ready to buy it too. One thing I find extremely funny though is the ESRB details: Alcohol Reference Blood and Gore Crude Humor Drug Reference Intense Violence Language Mature Sexual Themes Partial Nudity Suggestive Themes
So I beat Resident Evil 5 last night, and I have some mixed impressions on it. -The graphics in this game are just plain amazing. Especially in the first three chapters, and the final boss fight. Simply stunning. The cutscenes are also fabulous, especially the eye movements. -Story is not bad. Okay, this is a Resident Evil game, and really, having a story that somewhat makes sense is an accompl...
So a friend recently asked me what my most anticipated game of this year was going to be, and I really don't know, until just a few moments ago until I remembered what it really is. The soundtrack alone looks to make this game amazing. And to Spencer, Fuck Yeah.
So my friend and I got and played Resident Evil 5 from a gaming store in my town that was not supposed to sell it early, but the mangers like to break release dates often. :P And wow, that game is a HUGE disappointment. So instead of me writing all of my impressions, I think I will let Adam Sessler tell you my thoughts, as he gave the game a 3 out of 5 and I completely agree with him. When comp...
Man I just hate winter sometimes. There are times when I just despise the cold, the snow, everything about it, and just wish for Spring to come soon. But then there are times when I loved it. Yesterday was just insane. Over a foot and a half of snow just hit us, and everything was shutdown, including my school. So I took advantage of this day off, and spent some time, well gaming, as well as sc...
So I haven't done a regular blog in quite some time, instead just posting funny videos that make me laugh on my blog to show you guys, but I guess I should write about what's been going on, since this is, a blog . So I played through Condemned 2, after I saw it for fifteen dollars at Gamestop. And well, it was pretty good. I have not played the first Condemned, though I will probably will now,...
Co-op is weekly internet video that each week, gives the thoughts and opinions on games played by ex-1up and EGM personalities. Last week’s episode was extra memorable as the staff says goodbye to Nick Suttner, who is both leaving his duties on Co-op, and Rebel FM , so he can be a product tester at Sony. Adding to the story was Ryan O'Donnell's troubles this year on Valentine's Day, as his girl...
So, Halo Wars demo got released yesterday over Xbox Live, and well, it's a really big, "eh" for me. I am not the biggest RTS fan, but do enjoy Relic's work like Company of Heroes, or Dawn of War, and maybe some Age of Empires, but it just feels, really shallow. Maybe it's just because they are trying to 'dumb it down' for console players, who people think are stupid, but here's a little advice...
Why? Not because I don't want to play, or see the game. Hell no. The game looks pretty good. I only own an Xbox 360 though, so sadly, I won't be able to play it. The reason I have not looked forward to Killzone coming out is, because of fucking fanboys. It seems that most of them went back to their parents basements, lurking the message boards silently, but they all have logged in once again, a...
So, as I was walking out from school today, I reached into my backpack, to grab my Ipod, but to my dismay, it was not there. I went back to my locker. sure that I left it in my locker but no. I soon realized that my locker door was open earlier in the day(I thought that my books pushed it open as they sometimes do), and parts of my lunch went missing. So, someone broke into my locker, stole my...
So I downloaded the Resident Evil Five 5 Demo off of Xbox Live today and wow. What the FUCK did they do to Resident Evil? Maybe it's just my memory, but RE4 controlled better than this? Or is it just that Gears of War and Dead Space spoiled us with good controls. But the controls are not just bad, they are terrible. Looking around is impossible, can run and shoot, aiming is awkward among other...

SCHOOL So school is a bitch, well, the next few weeks are and going to be. My Midterms start next Thursday, and I get a break for the long weekend, and I get to start them again on Monday, and finish them on Tuesday.

Happy New Year! I know a lot of you guys celebrated late at night, while I fell asleep at 10 o' clock. Maybe it was all the Egg Nog, with whiskey that my uncle spiked my drink with...Party animal, I am. Happy New Year!
If this does not bring a smile to your face, you have no soul.
In 2008, many things happened. The global economy has taken a nose dive, The US elected their first African American President, Numerous celebrities have passed, Wars in the Middle East go on, and numbers of great viral videos, movies, games, music, have been released. Here is my year in review. Game of the Year There have been numerous games released this year. So many great ones, that choosin...

So, wow, its all ready December 16th, so I complied some things that I would like under that good old green tree this year. Not too much, seeing as all I really want is a break from school, good food, and some time with my family.

So this past week, whenever I have some spare time, I load up Fallout 3, and play it. But there is some issues that I have with it. Some really BIG issues. -There are some really, really, bad glitches. I just encountered the same glitch that happened to Jeff Gertsman, where I enter a building in megaton, a robot comes shooting at me, I did not know not to go in here, the whole town tries to kil...
Now I am sure there is going to be a bunch of asswholes filling the comments with, "Gamespot Sucks." I don't need to, and no one else needs to hear that crap, go take it else where.

This includes: Don Francis, Bethany, and Aaron Thomas, just to name a few of the large names. Each...

So if you have not already heard, Eidos, the publisher of such games as Tomb Raider, Hitman, and Kayne and Lynch , have asked Metacritic to hold off on releasing the scores for its latest game, Tomb Raider: Underworld.

Yeah, I got Gears 2 sitting next to me. Yeah, I am going to play it. Yeah, this is going to be fucking awesome! But seriously, Gears 2 is going to be awesome, and I hope to finally see who this 'Gang' really is. Maybe they are a bunch of guys playing an Xbox game. Or maybe that are a street gang that could not be creative with their name. Or maybe they are a bunch of guys with big egos' who lik...
So I went to Gamestop to fully pay off my Gears of War 2 pre-order that I put down in March, March! And some fat-ass behind the counter said, "I am sorry, but we had to cancel your pre-order because of the new pre-orders for the limited edition of the game." So they canceled my pre-order to give more space for the big limited editon boxes. Fuck you Gamestop, and your lousy customer service. Hel...
So, I had two different parcels arrive today. One containing Fable II, and the other containing Fallout 3 Limited Edition. I unwrapped the huge box containing Fallout 3, and just took out the bobble head, and lunchbox, and the HUGE strategy guide.

Yeah, so yesterday was my birthday, and I got a thing. Well two things, but only one thing came. So the first thing that came, and only thing was my 4000 Microsoft Points.

So anybody who got Saints Row 2, how is it? I really want to play a GTA like game that is just crazy. And hows the co-op/ multiplayer. And if anybody has it already, would you want to play with the amazing Evil Poptart? Anyway, what do you guys think of it so far, and is it worth 60 dollars?
So after hearing from Microsoft that the new dashboard update will take half a gig from the fucking 13 gigs of the 360, I was a little pissed. First off, the hardrive that they sold customers was 20 gigs. What the fuck happened to the other 7 to 8 gigs of data. Did it just magically go right up my ass or something? I mean what the fuck Microsoft. And now looking at a new hardrive, I see that 12...

You know, I think Nintendo just redeemed themselves with me. Big Time. But lets start off with the good, then the great. First, the DSi. I have been waiting for their new console, and here it is.

With new games made just for it, and a downloadable service, Nintendo would not divide the market like this...

I ordered the game from a guy from Texas, seemed really nice, but I did not see before my purchase that he had no feedback regarding selling. So the guy ships the game off on Tuesday, and sends me an email on Thursday saying, hey man, the wrong game was in the case, I...
Ordered Civilization on Ebay last week, the guy was real nice, but no feedback. He sends me the game, today, but he accidentally sends the wrong game.

After the throwing of a controller, and many swears later, I re-install the the bik...
So I just ordered a game off ebay for a price of 38 dollars. It was a price that I could not refuse, and the game is, Civilization Revolution for the Xbox 360.

This blog relates to Tom Brady's knee injury, and if you have not heard, he is out of the entire season. The entire season, gone, in just seven minutes into the season. Seven, fucking minutes.

First, the fact that I actually have tests and quizzes in the first week of school is not a good sign of how busy this year is going to be, but...

That is the day that my 360 is supposed to return. Woo. And I am actually looking foward for school starting up again...... Note: I forgot to say that I pre-ordered two games. Banjo, got the code for Banjo Kazooie over XBLA and Left 4 Dead. I can not wait to play some multiplayer with Pill. Who else is up for some multiplayer when it comes out?

I have been thinking, really thinking. Something very odd for me. Well I have been very upset about my 360 breaking, very upset that the console that I bought less than a year ago, that was supposed to be part of this 'new wave' of consoles that was sure not to die from the accursed red rings, actually red ringed. So, for the time being, I have been playing lots of PC games, mainly some Sam and...
So I was searching G4.com, and I found this awesome video. Tried to embed it on the bomb, but it did not work, so I will just to have to give you a link. The video is about the Gears 2 violence filter, that is supposed to, if you turn it on, take away the swearing, blood, and violence, that our Gears is so adored for. But I think I will let this video speak for itself: http://www.g4tv.com/xplay...

Seriously, I don't remember Doom being this boring, or mundane. And of course, I have got to a...
So I got a 4,000 point card at Gamestop yesterday and picked up a couple of things: Eat those pellets! The first thing that I picked up with the points was Pacman- Championship Edition. I have been wanting this game for quite some time, just to see how Namco advanced upon the perfect Pac-Man formula. I was very suprised to see that they actually advanced upon it, and it made it a better game. R...
