Post E3 Thoughts

Well its that time again, the end of E3. One of Gamings biggest expos. By no means was this E3 disapointing though. We saw the unveil of the WiiU as well as the PSP Vita and got to see how kinect will soon be invading your most beloved games. If you sense a little bit of frustration in my writing that is intentional. As you may or may not know I am an xbox only gamer. (Besides the occasional PC indie game.) So you can imagine my disapointment when Microsoft was basically absent from the show. Sure they unveiled Kinect labs and had demos for games but I was not satisfied. It seems like microsoft is just trying to promote the Kinect and nothing else. I personally do not have a kinect and probably will not have one until the Hardware improves. All rants aside I would like to give you a list of my most anticipated games coming out of E3

Warhammer 40k:Space Marine, I am a big 40k fan and I am extremley happy that I can play an action game set in the universe. The game looks really nice and brutal.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, I played the oblivion and loved it so it should come as no suprise that I am eager to return.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, This game has been relatively quiet throughout the year and I was refreshed to see some gameplay considering how many times it has been delayed

Mass Effect 3, The only thing I can say about this is that when I saw the demo for this game I immeditatley started a new character in Mass Effect 1 and will be transferring him over to Mass Effect 2 soon.

Saints Row 3, D i l d o Bat. 'nuff said

Dead Island, I am very excited for this game and can't wait to play an open world zombie game

Notable Mentions:

Gears of War 3,

COD MW3

BF3

Batman Arkham City

Alright thats it for this entry until next time I'll see you online!

Bulletstorm: Epics Next Great Game?

So I have been watching the activity of this game since E3. So you can understand that I have been snatching up the 2 minute previews like they were ammo clips in dead space. But when i heard that Epic would be releasing a demo for Bulletstorm I almost had a freaking heart attack. So the first thing that i did when i got up on the 1st was download the game to my xbox from xbox.com and then turned off my xbox and went to work. Throughout the day there were visions of gory kills and lots and lots of blood. So when i got home to play i was officially freaking out. The first thing i noticed when i played was the huge resemblence that it has to gears of war. No suprise since gears of war is a multi million dollar franchise. Also Bulleststorm plays on the same unreal engine that gears does. Another thing i noticed is the obvious, the awesome skill shots. Ill share some of my favorites now.

Mercy: Shot an enemy in the unmentionables until he falls to the ground and then kick his head off.

Voodoo Doll: Leash an enemy into spikes that are protruding out of the walls

Rear Entry: Shoot an enemy in his Ass until he dies

Those are my favorites. If you haven't played the demo yet then what the hell are you waiting for? This game is awesome! Plus if you beat the demo you get some extra goodies in the full game.

Until next time! Ill see you online!

Kinect: Will it stand up?

Ever since the Wii came out people have been enticed by the ability to play games in a more unconventional way. So what a suprise having felt left out Sony and Microsoft have both jumped into the motion gaming realm. While I am biased towards the Xbox I feel that kinect will leave a lot to be desired. I will not be getting it on Nov. 4th for many reasons.

1. This is an extremley ambitious project:: We all remember the play station eye. It faded into oblivion and had the exact same premise as Kinect. So I want to wait until Microsoft fixes some of the bugs that are bound to be included until I pick up a kinect

2. The games: They all look terrible, I mean c'mon you need to at least throw the older crowd a bone instead of obviously making games that appeal to the younger crowd that were taken away by the Wii

Well thats my rant for the week see you next week when we talk about COD: Black Ops
