Hello I'm Joe Jefferies and this is a look at what is going on in the Gaming World as of 10:30 a.m. on 09/12/07.

GTA4 "Move up Ladies'

The GTA4 movie "Move Up Laides" was released a few days ago. The graphics look for the most part amazing. The cars had great reflective surfaces on their windows and dorrs. The subway looked great also. Unfortuneatly I saw what looked like some problems with some of the faces and people in the game, they looked like PS2 or Xbox quaility faces, but a little better. Also I noticed that some of the builidings and car surfaces looked a bit jagged and rough yet but that may be worked out before release, and hopefully it will.

I was overall impressed with the video as I have been with the others. Hopefully we will see more soon.

Burnout Paradise on Dec. 13

The long awaited demo(well at least for me) to the sequel of the last Burnout game (Burnout Dominatoir) has arrived and will be here on December 13 of this year. At E3 developers of the game were saying that it would be released in Q1 of next year. I can't wait to play this demo!

Kane and Lynch topping G-Spot Charts

After Jeff Gerstmann game Kane and Lynch a poor review this past week and got fired for it Kane and Lynch is topping out the G-Spot Charts. I have yet to play this game but the reviews I've read of it seem poor and the ratings its been given even worse. Now I'll probably get flamed for this article but who cares. The game seems to have and intresting premise, but unfortuneatly the game just doesn't hold true to it. We'll have to see where this game goes from here.

G-Spot Charts Overview

Microsoft is really kickin Sony's butt in the runnings in overall section. That is with the 360 and the PC. Games like Halo 3 and Mass Effect for the 360 and Unreal Tournament for the PC are ruleing the charts this week coming in at 2nd, 4th, and 3rd consectuively. Sony however holds the top spot today with a so it seems crappy game. Nintendo has one game on the charts which is Super Mario Galaxy.

Thats it for the 10:30 video game update.

--Joe Jefferies

Well tiny bit of gamespot community that knows me, I apoligize for not being on in ages. Hopefully you will forgive me. I promise to be a more avid blogger, and a better union leader. Well thank you.

Got mi ps3, add me on PSN- joe1jj

I'll be gone to Colorado for the next week. I wont have access to a computer, so tommrow is the last day Ill be able to post for a while!

PS3 pricetag

Hello, it's time for another installment of, The Joe Jefferies Complaint of the Day. Today I'm talking money, yes, money. I wanted to go and purchase my PS3 the other day, so I decided to take a look into my piggy bank,(figure of speech) and see what there was to be found. 20..40..60..80..124.55. OMG, I don't belive I'll be getting that PS3 any time soon.

The recent 60gig PS3 price drop got alot of us Sony PS3 fans excited. Then they announce they are discontiuening it, leaving us with the 600 dollar door! That stinks. Alot........ Now I know Microsoft and Nintendo fanboys are going to do what they do and fanboy! Of course! They will say go get one of the other systems but I will not, I will, but after I get my hands on one of the shiny godsends called the PS3.

I need to get this system, it looks amazing, which helps to explain the hefty walled melting power of it. Hopefully Sony will send us somemore price drops in the near future, PLEASE! Well for now, we will have to dishout that 600 dollars for one.

That was a Joe Jefferies Complaint of the Day

Hereare some of my First Impressions of the E3 shooters

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patroits-PS3

[video=JHZgn2T65b8MuDPd]

Did that not look awesome! The way this game looks is stunning! The way it will play will probably be even better. Last week at E3, during the Sony Press Conference, we sat there for 15 minutes watching the MGS4 trailer unfold. That was when we were first introduced to what is supposed to be the final game in the MGS franchise. This game looks amazing. This past Tuesday however, the game was demoed, and we got to see what it will be like to play. Let me just say this, believe it, its not a cutscene. It was stunning. The particle affects the graphics all together, amazing. You can read about that demo by going to the MGS4 page on Gamespot.

Currently this game is only for the PS3, but it sounds like an exclusive release title to me, but I guess its not. HUMPH. Still, this game is a reason to get a PS3 if you don't currently own one, this and the impressive lineup that Sony has put out for us this year.

I personally am really excited about this game. It will be a buy for me once I get my PS3. I am a fan of the series and really am anticipating this game. I have for a long time. I know that Hideao Kojima will not let us down in this final installment. My first impressions of this game are really good. Looks like we'll be playing this game early next year.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare-PS3-360-PC

[video=d3NikDr85b4EuTLe]

Nazis oh wait, I'm sorry those weren't Nazis for once they were Russian baddies out to kill us. We are now moving forward from the bleak looks of Germany in the early forties, to the scenes of modern day Russia and the Middle East. This game has nothing to do with Nazis, or Hitler or anything form WWII. Instead in this game you're fighting the Russians who else. I personally don't know alot about this story line thus far, if you do feel free to post. All I know is that this game looks awesome and has little to nothing to do with Hitler Doesn't that just make everyone happy!

If you still have the WWII itch to scratch and if you do you might want to get checked for exmia, play Medal of Honor Airborne. This game has nothing to do with that. Thank god. If you look at this game in a better quality video, and this one is pretty good, you see all of this amazing awesomeness that has become of this game. On G4TV this E3, I got to watch a gameplay video of this game. WOW! Instead of simple death graphics, if you're shot in the knees, you go out by the knees. If you're shot in the head, you go down by the head! It looks so cool!

You can check out more gameplay videos, and read more articles on this game by visiting the Call of Duty 4 page on Gamespot. My first impressions of this game are at, if not above my expectations of MGS4. The best part is, we can expect this game in winter of this year.

Medal of Honor: Airbourne-PS3-360-PC

[video=IXJnkmD85bgPsjPe]

Alright, that looked... okay. However it is still a FPS WWII shooter. Now believe me when I say I have the utmost respect for all who served in that war, but I am tired of reliving it over, and over, and over, and over, again on my TV screen. You know, it's just not worth it. I really don't have a lot to say about this game besides, it's another WWII shooter, and the only innovation is that you get to jump form the plane and land anywhere in the battlefield. Which is great, but with CoD4 right around the corner, don't waste your time with this one, if you have to play it though, rent it from some place like gamefly, or your local store.

My first impressions of this game are, HUH, WHATEVER, been there done that, it's just not exciting. Post your opinions; please tell me how you feel. We can expect this game on August 27, 2007.

Army of Two-PS3-360

[video=cH1gwmP55bkLsjDX]

There you go, that was Army of Two. Now I'm not so sure about this game. It's entirely based on co-op multiplayer, online and off, I'm guessing. However, this game just looks good, it would be fun, yes, to play a game with my friend, online, or off and this may be the beginning of a new genre. Entirely multiplayer based games. The trailer is a little goofy, they seem like brothers to me, which is okay, but I would of liked to see some I guess you could say some more serious content in this game.

I think this game will appeal to many people, because it does look kind of fun. My first impressions of this game are good, and I really am impressed at thequality of the footage this game has given us so far. We can expect to play this game later this year.

Mass Effect-360

[video=KnYxxTOv5b8MvD7f]

This game looks really nice. I am definately getting this game, oh my gosh. The whole idea of this game is great, finally a game where what you do can really effect the story line instead of it being a linear story where nothing effects anything else. You can actully control what you say too. That is a great idea, and did I mention this game looks really good. Honestly, Mass Effect was so close to beating Halo 3 for me. Halo just has too much of a build up for me.

This game is a exclusive for the 360, so we PS3 users, too bad. However with games such as MGS4, Killzone 2, and Cod4, we will live. This games first impression for me is really good. Because, I think I mentioned it, it looks really good. It also has many new freatures such as the ability to control the fact that you talk. This game is getting alot of buzz, so we will be able to keep it in our minds. We can play Mass Effect November of this year.

Halo 3-360

[video=JSMzxmDx5b8Muj_Y]

....... Oh what I'm sorry i was just stunned. Again. Wow! Look at that! I haven't played that game yet, and I feel like I am in that game! It looks great! I am really not suprised it looks that good though. It was expected to, and it did. That is the first next-gen Halo game, and it's the last in the series. Okay, to be honest, I really am not as excited about that game as I am about Killzone 2, but you can post your opinions here.

This game will probably not have online co-op multiplayer. Aleast that is what Bungee has announced so far, and that will make people upset, innevebatly. Of course. Well I'm excited about this game none the less. We have known this game was coming for about a year now, and the buzz has been up and down for it, with the beta and everything but whatever. This game just looks good, and I'm excited to "see our earth's surface burn until its but glass". Or at least the floors of your game providers floors burn form the rush of Halo lovers to see this game. Post your opinions.

My first impressions of this game are really good, less that Killzone 2, but still good. This game is a 360 exclusive, and we will be playing it September 25, 2007.

Killzone 2-PS3

[video=JH02w2P65b8MvTTW]

HOLY CRAP! That is the most anticipatedshooter of E3 for me. I loved the first Killzone and when I saw this trailer I just about screamed! Look at those graphics, and look at that explosion! Wow! This will be a game for me to play for a while. The only problemI have with this game so far is the fact that we won't be playing this until next year! However, I can live with that, I need this game. I love the way this game looks so far, it's beautiful. Great looking, and definately better than Halo for me so far.

This is a PS3 exclusive title, and so was Killzone. This is yet another reason why I have choosen to get a PS3 as my primary console for this next-gen era. Again we won't be playing this until next year. Looks like I'll just have to play CoD4 unitl we get this game! My first impressions are, well obviously, really really good. Hopefully we will be playing this soon next year!

Mercenaries 2:World in Flames-PS2-PS3-360-PC

[video=IHYxlGSs5bgOujc]

Okay, I really don't have alot to say about this game. I really love Mercenaries, and this game looks cool. That wasn't a real trailer, I couldn't find one, so enjoy it. Post your opinions on this game.

Okay, I know I forgot alot of shooters, post your comments, and I may do a part two to the First Impressions-E3 shooters.

GENERALY DISCUSS THESE GAMES AND ENJOY!

PSP PROBLEMS

Today what I'm talking about is the Sony PSP, or the terd with a T.V.

The PSP is the worst handheld, or for that matter, the worst system I've ever played. For you PSP lovers out there, I can understad your joy in your PSP, but Look at the problems!!! The graphics on this thing are terrible, they could do so much better, just if they improved the graphics software a smidge that would be so much better.

Here I am playing my PSP, and I'm playing a shooter, now I'm trying to aim so I have this gun, and I reach for the second toggle to aim it, and what happens, I just touch the cold hard plastic of the exterior, now this may seem like a small annoyance, imagine doing it over and over and over, and over, and over, and over, and over. Doesn't it just make you want to shoot somthing!!!!!! Now why haven't they thought of it yet, because their too busy making piece of crap games like FULL AUTO 2. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH.

HMMPH!

The PSP is not my friend, maybe it will be yours, but never mine, beware of the worst system ever.

That was a Joe Jefferies Complaint of the Day!

Nintendo, who doesn't love them for Mario, and Zelda? I sure do, but recently Nintendo has been spitting out these "CASUAL" gamer games. Now yes, I can't say that Rayman Raving Rabbids, or Boogie by EA doesn't look cool, but the problem I have is the way that they just won't stop coming out. It's like I'm swimming in them, and there are some good hardcore games that are in there, but it's so difficult to find them! Nintendo however is coming out with some great hardcore games this year and next, for exzample:

• Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass
• Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
• Medal of Honor: Airbourne
• Residnt Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
• Super Mario Galaxy
• Super Mario Kart
• Super Paper Mario

I find the fact that 3/7 of those titles were mario, stangely odd.

The CASUAL games that Nintendo is coming out with this year do look, OKAY. Such as Wii Fit, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 (if you're a fan of the series), and Boogie as I already mentioned. As you can see, I dont really have to much of a complaint for this as much as one of the things you put into a suggestion box.

• LESS CASUAL, MORE HARDCORE
• No more games entirely made from mini-games
• Nintendo, stick with what really works for you, but do it less, and add in more of us.

That was the Joe Jefferies Complaint of the Day!

Sony has finally done somthing right with the PSP. This game looks okay. I'mgoing to say that straight out, I think this game might be okay. While you all know my feelings toward the Sony PSP I saw this game and I have to say, This could be Sony's first thing that wasn't a mistake with the PSP.This game is an Action-RPG that takes you to the future to kill aliens! It ahs slightly better graphics than I'd expect out of your avrage PSP, so it's okay. So hopefully we may see some improvements in the PSP. We might be able to expect somemore better, but not good games in the future of the PSP. So check it out and post your opinions. In my first impression of this game, I give it a 6.5 out of 10.

Try it on July 24 of this year!

This year I got to watch E3 on the television and I was felling allot of mixed emotions. First of all just to tell you all I thought SONY kicked butt this year. They gave me what I wanted to see in their press conference and on the show floor, GAMES, GAMES, GAMES. They gave me quite possibly the best exclusives out there, MGS4: Guns of the Patroits and many others! Heavenly Sword on the PS3 looks awesome. Gran Turismo 5, Need for speed Pro Street, Burnout Paradise! Hello, don't forget Conan! It looks really cool! Rachet and Clank future too, WOW! Their only downfall this year if you asked me was the PSP, I don't own one and I plan not too. They really need to revamp the PSP with some new features such as, A SECOND TOGGLE, and they should try to revamp the graphics on it. SECOND TOGGLE! Ahem, sorry. The new colors and, some, I repeat some of the new games coming out for it really look okay, like Starwars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron that looked okay. SONY gets a 9.2 out of 10

Microsoft could've used some help. They just told me things I already knew and what they already did. They did announce HALO 3! WOOT! Rock Band looks great, and Mercenaries 2 that they showed on the show floor (it looked just as good as on the PS3) which I am excited about and it has multiplayer! Burnout Paradise looks so great as well! Project Gotham Racing 4 looks great, but I don't really play Project Gotham so whatever. Need for Speed Pro Street though, HELLO looks awesome, hopefully it won't be another one of those same ol' same ol' games that the NFS franchise has done before. BIOSHOCK! OMG! I have to get it for my PC; it looks awesome on both the PC and the Xbox 360! I can't wait. They also introduced lots of new PC titles, or at least demoed them on the show floor. They announced an expansion pack for the popular Flight Simulator X, hopefully this will give the whole game a reboot, it needs it! NFS PRO STREET is on the PC as well. Crysis is so cool looking, but I really didn't get to see a lot about it. Microsoft gets a 8.5 out of 10

Nintendo, c'mon guys, you really let me down, you could've done so much better. All you did in my opinion was tell me how popular the WII is and how much you guys appeal to the casual gamer. Reggie why must every game you make be about little bunnies, or entirely mini-games! Why?!?!?!?!?!? Then I ask, what about me, and you tell me Mario Galaxies, Metroid 3, Resident Evil 5: the Umbrella Chronicles! I say great, thanks Reggie, but I don't really play any of those except for Resident Evil, and sometimes Mario if my friends have it! However, Wii fit looks like something I would actually do every now and then, and it looks like you could mess with you friends and tell them how huge they are with the BMI function! Ha, Ha. The Wii zapper might be cool if you could give me something to aim better with, I really can't imagine aiming with it. Zelda for the DS looks cool as well. Dragon Quest sounds okay, but still Nintendo, HARDCORE gamers! Nintendo, for me you had absolutely nothing to loose, but you did! You will always appeal to younger and older gamers. Also gaming families, but for us hardcore gamers out there, you give us limited options. Please Nintendo, please bring yourselves up! Nintendo you get a 7 out of 10.

Overall E3 this year really focused on what I wanted it to, games. They gave me allot of things I liked, and some stuff I wasn't so sure about! well thank you all developers and companies for another great E3! Please feel free to post on this!
