The blood is a nice touch Look at that thing! It's a lancer assault rifle! For $140 bucks you can get a lancer with your Gears of War 2! I want this. Really badly. Too bad I'm saving up for a 360...oh well I'm sure they'll do something like this during the launch for Gears of War 3. Right now I got $81 towards my 360 and I need at least $220, though if I can get up to $260 or $320 I'll get bett...

Right now I got $81 towards my 360 and I need at least $220, though if I can get up to $260 or $320 I'll get better models. For $220 I can get a 20 GB and for $260 I can get a 20 GB with Guitar Hero III. Then if I get $320 I'm going Elite with that 120 GB HDD and it will match my controller.
You envy him and you know itIn other news...I was going to talk about how I really really really want Grim Fandango but tracking down a copy is something I just can't do right now. But in September this new website www.gog.com will start selling old PC games for like $10 each. They're advertising Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, MKD, and several others but I'm hoping for those old Lucasarts titles like Grim Fandango, The Secret of Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, and Full Throtle that were made by Tim Schafer. The man is a genius and you 360 owners should go get some microsoft points and download Psychonauts RIGHT NOW! Then during the download time go out and put a pre-order on Brutal Legend.

On my last blog post I noticed something:

Everyone Reads Large Yellow Text

I'm betting that most of you just started reading now. I'm right aren't I? Well anyway I've been playing some Dr. Mario Online Rx and I am starting to realize that I am really bad at Dr. Mario. I get an occasional win every once and a while but mostly I lose but that doesn't mean I'm not having fun. I also tried to go back and play some World of Warcraft (which I don't completely suck at) and tried to justify my $30 two month comitment and I gotta say that I am bored of it. I do plan on getting Wrath of the Lich King but only if I start playing on a free server. A friend of mine is building a new PC and he says he's gonna get it and play on a free server so I might play with him but I'm not too sure if I'm ever going to go back and play on Blizzard's servers after my time runs out. Sticking with Blizzard's games I went and duked it out against some CPUs in StarCraft only to be reminded of my Dr. Mario experince.

And Now For The Results Of G-Phoria 08

I'm finding these out as I write them so I'm gonna give my impression as I type the results:


Best Action Game : Grand Theft Auto IV

I could go on and say how overhyped and not as good as everyone says this game is but that's not gonna give my vote (Metal Gear Solid 4) any more votes.

Best DLC: Rock Band

I voted for this one becuase just look at the massive amount of content you can find for it. Plus there's Still Alive. That's from Portal. You know Portal? The greatest puzzle game since Tetris? Yeah how could I not vote for it?

Best Graphics: Metal Gear Solid 4

How could this possibly not win? The graphics of this game rival Crysis! Glory to Snake!

Best Handheld Game: God of War: Chains of Olympus

I can't say I'm surprised but I never played any of the games on the list so I'm not too mad my choice didn't win (The World Ends With You.)

Best New Character: Niko Bellic

Ok I love a Russian immigrint as much as the next American but come on! Glados didn't win? Man those GTA fankids make me sick...

Best Online Multiplayer: Call of Duty 4

I can't say anything bad about CoD4 but how could Team Fortress 2 not win IT'S AN ONLINE ONLY GAME!

Best Party Game: Rock Band

Not surprised moving on.

Best Racing Game: Mario Kart Wii

Given all the good racers that came out in the past year I'm glad to see that Mario and the crew haven't lost it.

Best RPG: Mass Effect

Now I'm far from surprised but I voted for Persona 3 FES because the uniqueness of that game impressed me more than any other on that list.

Best Shooter: Call of Duty 4

Once again nothing against CoD4 BUT HOW CAN THE ORANGE BOX LOSE WHEN IT'S FIVE SHOOTERS IN ONE BOX!?!?!?!?!?!? AND THEY'RE ALL AMAZING!

Best Soundtrack: Rock Band

Wow a music game won the best soundtrack award how surprising.

Best Sports Game: Skate

I voted for this because I am not a fan of any of the others except for the NHL game.

Best Strategy Game: Civilization Revolution

I voted for World in Conflict because I feel that we need more games that involve the death of communists. I'm now looking forward to Red Alert 3.

Best Voice Acting: Metal Gear Solid 4

Now from what I've seen the voice acting is great but I had to vote Portal for all of Glados' great lines. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

Deserves An Uwe Boll Movie: Turok

While I can actually see this happening I want Uwe Boll to make a Final Fantasy VII movie. That is how much I have grown to hate that game. Yo Uwe: I hear Final Fantasy VII is pretty popular.

Most Original Game: Portal

Let's just say I had a magic trick involving a pencil for all those who didn't vote Portal if one of those other games won.

Stride Longest Lasting Game: Grand Theft Auto IV

Odd, everyone I know that has the game is done playing it.

Favorite System: Xbox 360

I shouldn't say anything bad about it since I'm saving up for one but I think the PC just had a better year this year.

Game of the Year: Halo 3

Odd, I think they spelled Metal Gear Solid 4 wrong...oh well at least it doesn't rhyme with Brand Theft Auto or Rinal Fantasy VII.

Well that's all from me today. You get YouTube video next time since blog be so long.
