My thoughts on E3

You saw this coming, after E309 almost everyone is bound to write about it. Keep in mind that I don't really give a toss about Microsoft so you won't be hearing much about them.

Now onto Nintendo: It feels like Nintendo actually heard the fans cries from 08 and made a good choice and rub Mario in the face of the fans, now they're all hyped for the new Super Mario galaxy and New Mario bros Wii. If you ask me this project feels kind of rushed out to hush the fans. I'm sure the game will be fine since the first Mario galaxy was fine and now that Yoshis in there too the game will be a bit more fun (at least for Yoshi fans like myself).

And now to New super Mario bros Wii, I would prefer this game on the DS but I guess that the online play will be better if it's on the Wii. There's not more I can say really, I mean, it's Mario you jump, you stomp, you triumph that's how it's been since the 8-bit era.

Now this one will be hard to talk about, Metroid : an other M. I'm going to be honest I'm really torn about this game, first of, it seems to switch between 1st person and 3rd person, I'm sure the transition will be smoother in the game than in the trailer but still. Also, I'm not to sure about Team Ninja, sure they made Ninja Gaiden but that game was (and still is) rough around the edges, and I don't mean the bastard difficulty where the camera wants you dead and makes sure that you can't see the guy throwing exploding shurikens, I mean that Ryu didn't control too well when the camera shifted angle which led to many jump off cliffs deaths. But then again, since they work with Nintendo who take their (sweet) time with their games I still hope that the new Metroid will be at least good.

That's really all that got my attention in Nintendos E3 so let's move on to Sony.

I'm sure a lot of people are attacking Sony forums online yapping about how they copy Nintendo's remote, but from what I saw Sonys looked like it controlled much more precise, sure now that Motion + is on it's way the Wiimote control just as good, but it looked impressive and I hope that Sony (and third party) will use this technology better than Nintendos third party that just keep farting out party games.

MAG looks pretty nice, but since most people online are selfish wankers that have no feeling for teamwork I think that MAG won't be as successful as it could be.

Alien vs Predator looks promising, I just hope that the developer will take a 2nd look at the game after they finish it to make sure that the game is well balanced.

The new Splinter cell looks less realistic and more action based than stealth based.

The new Assassins creed has some promise, I just hope that it'll be longer this time.

The last guardian looks interesting, but I miss the huge bosses. Also, is anyone more than me reminded about The never-ending story when they see this game?

The new Ratchet & Clank looks good, and after I heard them say "We try to make it more open-ended" only this thought went trough my mind : Score!

And God of war 3... Well, it's God of war what else is there to say?

So that's what got my attention in this years E3, hopefully these games will turn out great.

Moving my blogs / reviews

I decided to move my blogs and reviews to Gametrailers, simply because I have a slow computer and it takes forever for me to write a blog on GS.

It would be really weak of me to finish the blog here so I'll try to pull it a little...
I just got Warhawk, and I can't wait to play online.

Resident evil 5 looks good, I played the demo by myself and with a friend and so far it plays alright.

The sexism on PSHome is pissing me off to no end, I made a female replica of me stood around somewhere doing nothing. After seven seconds a bunch of pervs were around me asking how old I was and if I had nice "b00bz".

The two upcoming hero (or anti-hero) games Infamous and Prototype are confusing me. they look almost the same to me, in exception of the story.

That will do for my final blog here, please read my new reviews / blogs on Gametrailers.com.

Here's my GT accont : http://users.gametrailers.com/cpanel/index.php?m=mycontent&action=reviewlist

Splatterhouse returns!!!

I know it's never wise to go crazy about a debut trailer but finally we get a new Splatterhouse game how long has it been since we helped Rick save his beloved Jennifer and son David?
Now that we know the game is coming in 09 I believe let's just hope Namco takes their time with this game there's nothing as disappointing as bringing back an old series and then mess it up.

From what you can see from the trailer it looks sorta like a re-make, Jennifer is trapped in the mansion again and rick has to just the "Terror mask" to save her so maybe we won't see David in this one but oh well.

All of this could be changed during the making of the game of course.

*A QUICK NOTICE*

(If you haven't tried Splatter house before the first and second game are on the Virtual console for 600 and 800 points.)

Re-makes!!

It seems Atari listens to people, else they wouldn't remake of Alone in the dark, you know that game that had the potential to be the game of the year but broken controls held it back, and when a game is reported by "professionals" that it's bad people like to trash it even more.
I've heard WAY too many complains like :
"Oh, I can't get through this door!"
"My car went flying!"
"The jumping is broken"
"The voice acting sucks!!"

Give me a break here! I've played the game and while I will agree that the driving stages are frustrating, glitchy and cheap the rest off the game shows great potential and innovation.

Now... Why am I suddenly talking about Alone in the dark and such?
Well, I guess you already knew this but Atari listened to these complains and are remakeing the game to make it smoother and such, But it seems I can't think for one second "Hey this looks quite promising" before some idiot gets in my face and starts crying :
"Alone in the dark sucks because it sucked the first time and it won't get better even thought Atari tries to again to make it good!"

geez... Look, if you didn't like the first try, FINE, I don't care what you think, but keep your opinions to yourself or others that feel like you.

And while i'm on to remakes let's give a quick mention to "Cave story" soon out for the Wiiware.

I never played the first Cave story since my computer got problems with even letting me write this blog, man it's lagging...
But, I have seen it on Youtube and from what I've seen it looks like on of those games I shouldn't play but I do anyway. It was cruel and punishing, like I wanna be the guy. I haven't heard anything about lowering the dufficulty level so I take it as a "it stays where it is".

Well, seems like we got a couple of remakes to look foward to, now let's just hope just hope people don't think that remakes are the new thing and starts remaking games like : Micheal Jacksons moonwalker :lol:

Waow...

it's been over a month since my last blog already? :shock:

I know I'm lazy and all but man... Owell, might as well write an other one now :P

Let's see now, what can I write? I've been playing X-men Mutant Apocalypse for the SNES for quite some time now and if you haven't played it, you've missed out some good old FRUSTRATION! Why can't heal? Isn't that like, oh I don't know, HIS ABILITY!?

I'm still looking for a good priced PS3 and SEGA Saturn, no luck so far..
But I won't give in :P

I also realized that Mercenaries is a great game, you got to love Mathias, HE'S SWEDISH! finally a game where I can play as a guy who sounds kinda like me. :P :D 8)

I can't wait to get my greedy little hands on the game Infamous by the way, it looks really cool. :D

That's it for this time, have a good October. Jaxxo out. 8)

Sonic Unleashed

Ok, so I saw the trailers, interviews and gameplays.
And in my opinion, the warehog game-play looks like a big slow-down, I like the warehog thing but I was expecting something more like Sonics game-play but more feral and furious.

That's just my opinion, what's yours?

Don't think I'm dead
