It's that time again...

Yes! E3 is back!! And i'm back too. :P

Can't wait to see the cool games. Espcially Gears of War 2! Game of the show, I called it. :P

Also, I can't wait for the release of Soul Calibur 4 at the end of this month!! Already pre-ordered it. :)

Hey people

What's new?

My Xbox 360 is dead. :(

I'm kinda stuck with my DS and my old consoles...

Please I want some news from you. Leave a comment. ;)

What is on your gaming wish list right now?

I know I want:

-The Orange Box

-Bioshock

-Virtua Fighter 5 online

-CONTRA 4!

-Call of Duty 4

-Mass Effect

-Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

And... okay, i'll stop there because if I don't, I won't... lol!

Halo mania

First off... well, I know... I don't blog often... but i'm online often.

I should write again... but sometimes i'm busy. Back in school... play xbox 360 all the time... etc...

Got caught up in the Halo 3 mania. I had Halo 2 and liked it. Halo 3 is tons of fun. Sure, it's a lot like Halo 2 but it's totally better.

Well, i'm already going back... at least I stopped by to say hello.

Hope to see you soon.

Damn it's been a while...

Yeah... I know. But I was here when E3 was around. It was cool. They showed a lot of good games. But you all know everything about E3 now so we'll skip that part...

So i'm still playing a lot of Xbox 360 games and DS games lately. Burnout Revenge for the 360 and Pokemon Pearl for DS. Dammit... i'm addicted. This is the first ever pokemon game i've ever bought. I've played many pokemon games in the past (blue, red, Ruby, Coliseum, XD...) so i'm really not a newbie. I admit that I liked the genre of the game. But i'm not a pokemon addict... oh no... lol!

And watch my user video space... time to dust it off. I was using it when it was first introduced but now I got some old videos (that I got from another PC that I had). So maybe i'll show you some rare gems.

Stay tuned! :)

So much new stuff

Where do I start?

Well... I don't know if I told you but I have 2 new Xbox Live Arcade games: TMNT original and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night! Those games are AWESOME. Finished both but for SOTN, I need to finish the game with Richter. That's gonna be hardcore.

I also got a new 360 game: Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Since I got it last week... I can't stop playing it! It's so cool!! It was really fun to unlock the secret characters and the alternate outfits for every heroes.

Now I just can't wait for the new downloadable content for MUA. But it's LATE!!! ARGH!! Apparently, when people installed the patch for the new content screwed up their game files! Ouch! Now Activision is working on it and on the content... it's been more than a week... can you hurry Activision? I wanna play with HULK! And Venom! Damn... my MS points are just sitting there... waiting...

I played a lot of FFIII on DS also lately. It's a fantastic game. Play this game!

As a 360 owner, one question comes to mind... Should I buy the Elite version? I don't think so. First I don't have the money. Second, i'm happy with what I have right here.

Oh and one more thing... is there gonna be an E3 this year? It seems that it won't happen... I can't believe it. I subscibed last year on this site because I really wanted to see the Gamespot E3 footage. Now I don't know if i'll renew... 

This week's rent: Mortal Kombat: Armageddon

The final chapter in the Mortal Kombat franchise has come. And for the finale, everyone was invited to the party... EVERYBODY. Every fighter who appeared in Mortal Kombat is in this game. Amazing. The engine is pretty much the same as the previous MK: Deception. Combos, few moves and the fighting styles... also the weapons. I wish there was more moves. There's a new fatality system and it's custom based. Means you do several moves and you do several bloody damage to your victim. Kinda cool but you just with you could just do ONE fatality and that's it. At least one really cool instead of a string of, for example, kicking your opponent, ripping his heart out, slam him down and smash his head... it's nice but not so cool. Anyway...
I like the other modes. Motor Kombat is funny. Not that great but better than I expected.
Konquest mode is back and finally better than ever. I always thought this mode was never good and this time they got it right.

It's not much of a change since Deception but Deception was already a good MK and I think Armageddon is a little bit better. I hope the next one will be the true change in the MK franchise. Can't wait to see what Midway will do with the MK series. Get ready for a new story.
For now on, enjoy the finale.

Weekly rent: DOAX2, Call of Duty 3

Dead or Alive Xtreme 2:
If you love the girls in DOA and like to see them in sexy suits, you're gonna love this game. Cause this game is basically for pervs. Yes... I admit that I am...
But looking at their attributes isn't the only fun thing. Playing beach volleyball, jetski racing and some other minigames like beach flags are fun too. But the most addicting thing is this game is probably the achievements: getting all the swimsuits.
For everyone.
And THEN buy them again to give it to everyone.
It's incredibly long, but it's kinda worth it. It varies the looks of the girls.
So this game isn't as bad as they say. Sure, it's simple and kinda repetitive, but if you like the DOA girls or DOA in general, you should just try it once. :P

I rated it: 8.0

Call of Duty 3:
Yes, another WWII game. But at least Call of Duty is actually fun, compared to all the WWII games in the world. This one was a little easy even on the normal setting. Still it was a fun experience. Good mission with varied weapons. Enemy AI is very intelligent. You snipe, they will hide and carefuly wait. You throw a greanade at them, they will hide for cover or they will send it back at ya! They are smart.
The action is intense. The sound is always amazing. You really feel your seriously AT WAR. And that's cool.
What I didn't liked is that most of the times, you know ennemies are shooting at you but you just don't seem to be able to really aim at them. So what do you do? Shoot blindly at a place and hope it will hit the target. Remember that aiming wasn't so easy like it is with modern weapons. Think manual aim... that's hard.
Anyway the game was fun and it's worth trying for all FPS and action fans.
