Its been 1 year since i last unboxed u :D hahaha....
Heres my gaming collection, what do you think?:
P.S: Uncharted and Uncharted 2 are gonna be added to the collection, very soon :) any suggestions, on what i should buy?
Just reviewed inFAMOUS, R&C FTOD, and RE5, BUY inFAMOUS, The Best game to come out in 2009!!! You will not be dissapointed....
Here is the concept art that miyamoto revealed to the press earliar this week:
To say who's won E3 is kind of a understatement, because it proved two things.
1 - Motion control is the new boob physics (according to N'Gai Croal)
2 - E3 is back, and with a vengence.
All three put in a decent showing at best, two of them had probably the finest conferences shown this generation. But who really won E3? Well, to break it down, I'm gonna compare all 3 plaform holders from their performances to last year.
First up, Nintendo:
2008: E3 2008 was... not the best of years for Nintendo. We had hell on earth basically in the form of Cammie Dunaway, too embarrasing for anybody to be around with during a conference. Plus, a cheesy demo involving Shaun White Snowboarding, chart after chart after chart, plus more prepherals like WiiSpeak, more casual games like Animal Crossing and stuff like Wii Music (who could forget Ravi Roll?), but no hardcore stuff for the Wii.
The same also for the DS, bar one major difference: Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars was announced at that same conference. Plus, a cringe worthy performance of Wii Music, involving Miyamoto and co.
Simply put, if you were a hardcore gamer, who owned the Wii, chances are you might have sold your Wii that same day.
2008 rating: 4/10
2009: 2009 still held the same for Nintendo, but they did substantually imrprove from last year and 2007 to add to that. On the Wii side, it was still about casual with a new Wii Fit and Wii Sport Resort, along with Wii Motion Plus, both revealed at last year's E3.
And on the DS, casual game after casual game for the DS for girls. However, near the end, the hardcore got their wish: more hardcore games. Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M announced as the hardcore got their promise at last of more hardcore stuff.
And for DS, Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days for September 27th, plus more
2009 impressions: Overall, Nintendo were still off the mark, but they did improve alot over the past year, so credit is due for them. A solid perforamce from Nintendo, but they still need to improve.
2009 rating: 7/10
Microsoft:
2008: 2008 was a good conference for Microsoft, with live demos of Fallout 3, Resident Evil 5, Fable II and Gears of War 2 along with NXE and Avatars, plus several new Xbox Live Arcade titles announced like Portal: Still Alive. And then it went downhill with You're in the Movies.
But just as it was abut to end on an whimper, even after the music segment which had Duffy, Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour, the Square Enix president, Yoichi Wada showed off 3 brand new games for the 360 including Star Ocean: The Last Hope, Uninfinite Discovey and The Last Remnant, followed then up by what was the biggest announcement in E3 history, Final Fantasy XIII would be coming to Xbox 360, no longer a PS3 exclusive.
2008 rating: 9/10
2009: To say it improved from last year would be a big understatement. They had big announcement after big announcement, along with epic live demos. Demos like Forza 3, Alan Wake, Final Fantasy XIII, Modern Warfare 2, Splinter Cell: Conviction and The Beatles: Rock Band (with Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney to boot), plus game reveals like Forza 3, Halo: Reach only to name a few.
But the biggest reveal of the night came in the form of Hideo Kojima showing up at the conference to announce that MGS would be showing its rear for the first time on the Xbox 360, followed by a teaser trailer for Metal Gear Solid: Rising.
But even then, the biggest announcement was kept for the end of the night with Project Natal. A 2010 release, Lionhead's newest game involves it, it really was something to low and behold as we looked at something very revolutionary in the making involving Natal.
All the games can be traded in the world, but nothing beats awesome and innovation like Natal did on Monday. Plus, Facebook and Twitter for XBL. We love them.
2009 rating: 10/10
Sony:
2008: Sony had a decent conference, but somewhat lacklustre. It was missing something, tht va-va-voom. Maybe the MS conference the previous day took it out of them, but it felt kinda empty, even with demos of LittleBigPlanet and Resistance 2. Plus, reveals of Resistance: Retrobution, the re-emergence of inFamous, the reveal of God of War III and the debut of MAG, which I thought would never work.
256 players? LAAAG! It was set up well and playedo ut okay, but nothing on MS.
2008 rating: 8/10
2009: But Sony improved on 08, not marginally, not substantially, but incredibly. A great demo of Uncharted 2, the first showing of MAG, plus reveals of PSP Go! which will release for October 1st 2009 as well as upcoming PSP games, like Gran Turismo and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walkers.
But it was near the end of it's conference when it picked it's time to strike. First, an awesome Final Fantasy XIII trailer in English, the first time Assassins Creed 2 was been shown when, out of nowhere, comes megaton after megaton. First, the shock announcement of Final Fantasy XIV, even as an MMO, out next year exclusive to PLAYSTATION 3, soon before Final Fantasy XIII is even out.
Megaton #2 was The Last Guardian, the new Team ICO game which was revealed to everyone at last. Needless to say, I felt like I wanted to jump and down when I seen it, it was just that special.
Megaton #3 was the announcement of Rockstar's exclusive PS3 game - Agent.
Megaton #4, and the final one, the Gran Turismo 5 teaser which looked spectacular. Damage, WRC, NASCAR in it. Plus, kickass demos of MAG, Uncharted 2, Assassins Creed 2, GT PSP and God of War III which looked stunning. Oh, and plus, the PlayStation Motion Controller. In the end, a supurb showing.
2009 rating: 10/10
Winner: Not Nintendo anyways. It'd be cruel to pick a winner from these two, and to call it a draw would be an anti-climax. Nintendo did very well this year compared to last year or 07, but Microsoft and Sony ruled with an iron fist this week, but which was better?
They both were, I cant decide which one was better, both blew my heads away. So, to be fair:
On the technical side alone, with Project Natal which looks stunning and could have the potential to get this right, Microsoft. But on the software side, Sony won. Team ICO, God of War III, MAG, Uncharted 2 and Assassins Creed 2 were just great examples of how great the Sony is.
Overall winner: tied (due to not being inable to vote)
Technology: Microsoft (reason: Project Natal
Gaming Software: Sony (just on Team ICO and FF XIV).
Before nearly a year ago, i started predicting... and Im Back for at least one more time!!! :D So here we go...
- Square-Enix will show off some of its more Western flavored games, in the mix we'll get to see plenty of Final Fantasy XIII and perhaps some new exclusives to the Xbox 360. 360 owners will rejoice and message boards will erupt into a massive cry of M$ money-hats! Expect Final Fantasy XIII Versus to stay exclusive to the PS3 as a token of love from Square-Enix to PS3 fans though.
- Phil Harrison will reveal his master plan for why he decided to go to Atari. We don't know what in the world it is, but expect something... different.
- Activision will announce five more Guitar Hero games, and gamers will go, "Really?"
- EA will be declared the new prom queen of E3, and will show off games that will make gamers swoon and EA boardroom members bust out the Cristal!
- Capcom will announce next-gen versions of Megaman and Strider. Marvel VS Capcom 2 will be a taster to the announcement of a new Marvel VS Capcom title in the works.
-Konami will bring out its next-gen Castlevania to E3. Kojima will show off two new projects, one being a title developed with a well known Western developer.
SONY:
- Sony will announce the worst kept secret going, the PSP2, or as it's lovingly being called; the PSP GO! The exclamation point is for the price shock of the new PSP. Gamers will pick it up in droves once it's been hacked and iPhone owners will yawn and continue downloading apps.
- Sony will show off its MAG, which is still in the running for most unoriginal name to an action game ever, and the crown jewel in the PS3's line-up: God of War III. God of War III will make its launch come March of next year and will include a multi-player component similar to Uncharted 2. Kratos purists will call foul, until they unveil the online sex mini-game; God of Lovin. Ratchet and Clank will make an appearance as well as three new games from Sony for the PS3. Call us crazy but one of them will be an ex-360 game. Expect tons of PSP announcements, and even a few PS2 titles for good measure. Sony will continue to milk the PS2 for all it's worth and will try and bring rebirth to the PSP.
- The PS3 will not receive a price drop, yep, you read that right. Sony is focused on making some cold hard cash. Instead expect a new bundle and perhaps a SKU switcheroo. The price point will stay the same but consumers will get more GB's and maybe a nice free game in the mix.
- Cross game chat will finally make its way the XMB. PS3 owners will rejoice in unison and there will be much cheering in the land.
- Home will have tons of new spaces, and might even allow PS3 users to share media between users.
- Sony will show off their new waggle, in a desperation move to stop Nintendo. Core gamers will laugh and casual gamers will continue to buy the Wii.
- Skype will make its way to the XMB.
Microsoft:
- Microsoft will show off why it's been quiet for so long this year; they've been busing making Sony's HOME better! Expect Live Spaces and some heavy new features for Microsoft's much loved Avatars. The achievement system will now allow you to earn some nice new items to deck out your avatar with, along with a slew of new community avatar based games.
- Hulu will become available to Gold members on the NXE with a fancy interface.
- Games, lots and lots of games. Cliffy B will show off Epic's newest IP, which will use the latest advancements to the Unreal engine. (Think survival horror but with Gears of War like action.) Halo ODST will be shown and throw Halo fans for a loop with its sandbox like game-play. Expect Halo Chronicles to make a sneak peak presentation and Alan Wake will finally wake the hell up. Along with Alan, Miss Dark will make her triumphant return to the 360. Microsoft will also show around 4-5 casual games and show off its third party love affair with some exclusive DLC for games like Assassins Creed 2. In fact Microsoft will be showing off more than just what's coming this year but will give gamers a sneak peek at what's to come.
After their presentation, gamers will look at their wallets and weep.
- More RPG announcements that RPG fans will dance in their under wears about, but will sell poorly.
- The 360 will also get waggle, only it's going to be just one sensor bar and no controller. This time you waggle! Similar to the PS3's attempt at waggle, core gamers will laugh and casual gamers will continue to buy the Wii.
Nintendo:
- Tons of DSi ware
- Iwata will laugh and jump into a pool of money Scrooge Mcduck ****
- Motionplus will be showed off with Tiger Woods and EA, along with Red Steel 2 proving that the Wii does indeed have some muscle under the hood. Expect third parties to bust out party games like their going out of ****
- Nintendo will show off a new Zelda. Nintendo fans will lose their minds and cry tears of joy. Reggie will nod and laugh manically at the unannounced peripheral for the game to work.
- Wii ware will receive a few new exclusives and a new Mario game.
That about does it for out predictions for this year's E3. Stay tuned to Deeko to see if any of our predictions come true, and who knows after this year's E3 - every console may have waggle!
Im currently in level 8/10! in the single player campaign, and let me just say this... I personally think this game has the best graphics till now!! and above that, the game is INCREDIBLE!!! man all the guns are so fun to shoot with, just the experience of shooting with the guns makes me wanna go play right now! (but im kind of busy, and ill return playing on thursday, when im not busy...)
Have to try Multiplayer also, cant wait for that too... Although I don't think ill play much of that... anyways, whoever has a PS3 and did not buy killzone 2 is (no offense) an IDIOT!! Its pretty stupid to have a PS3 and not having this game, i personally think this game is the best PS3 game i have ever played till now!! very fun, in terms of gameplay!
Just wanted to tell u about the game since i promised u... planning to buy resident evil 5 in the upcoming weeks, and after that i have exams, so i might be on hiatus... AFTER E3!

Tell me wat u think about the game??
A few days ago there was a big grin on his face as Michael, a special kingdom hearts announcement would come... Unfortunately, It is an April 1 joke that they have a few days ago was put into force. Someone had put this fake interview , i thought it would be fun if i put it up (especially for u KH fans :D)
-The announcement of Kingdom Hearts III came as a surprise ...
Nomura: [smiles] Yes. I wanted to hold off until the three Kingdom Hearts games were closer to release before we made the announcement. With 358/2 Days releasing May 30th, and Coded to begin releasing new episodic content over the Mobile Portal Site, I thought of this as a good time.
-What can you tell us about the new title? -What can you tell us about the new title? Will Sora be returning as the main character? Will Sora be returning as the main character?
Nomura: I can't reveal too much, since it's heavily connected with the three Kingdom Hearts games, but I can tell you that it takes place where Coded will leave off and Sora is the main character.

-The official artwork for KHIII - it appears the three heroes from Birth By Sleep are present!? -The official artwork for KHIII - it appears the three heroes from Birth By Sleep are present!
Nomura: While I can't go into detail just yet, I will say that they are deeply involved. Nomura: While I can not go into detail just yet, I will say that they are deeply involved. Kingdom Hearts III continues on Birth By Sleep's theme of "inevitable fate" and the connection of hearts - it is something to look forward to.

-Earlier you spoke of ways that the three Kingdom Hearts titles could tie-in with Kingdom Hearts III. Earlier, you spoke of ways that the three Kingdom Hearts titles could tie-in with Kingdom Hearts III. Have these connections been realized? These connections have been realized?
Nomura: They have, in a number of ways actually. Realizing how the three games are intertwined with Kingdom Hearts III is part of the charm of the game and I believe fans will enjoy that aspect quite a lot [smiles].
-Is it required to play the three hand-held Kingdom Hearts games in order to understand the plot of Kingdom Hearts III? -Nomura: Hmm. I have said that Coded is much like CoM in the sense that it bridges two games. But, as it was with CoM, playing the three games are not required in order to understand Kingdom Hearts III. I believe one could enjoy Kingdom Hearts III even if it was their first experience with the series, but for those fans who play the three games - they will get something more out of Kingdom Hearts III.
-Can we discuss the new logo for a minute? -Can we discuss the new logo for a minute? It seems to have taken a much darker look this time?! It seems to have tasks a much darker look this time?
Nomura: [laughs] With the three Kingdom Hearts games, we were steering the series into a darker, more serious tone. The logo is meant to reflect that new feeling and direction that we plan on continuing with Kingdom Hearts
Ben Dutka, Editor-in-Chief over at Psxextreme.com, wrote an article yesterday discussing current and future 'PS3 system sellers'. Of course he mentioned Metal Gear Solid 4, LittleBigPlanet, Killzone 2, Uncharted and the like. Then things began to get interesting..he listed Gran Turismo 5, God of War III, and Uncharted 2, ALL guaranteed PS3 sellers...then he dropped this bombshell:
The Secret PS3 Exclusive: That's right...it's a secret. We know what it is, and we know it's a true-blue system seller. We know people have been waiting for the announcement...we know it exists...we know the confirmation is coming...but we ain't gonna tell ya 'bout it, because we promised we wouldn't. Just trust us when we say, it deserves to be on this list.
What!?! What could this title possibly be? Before you start guessing, Ben gave out a few hints in the comment section.
"I can't give any hints about the secret game itself but I CAN tell you it's NOT the Team ICO title." he responded to one commenter.
"It's not a currently announced title. That's all. :) ", he told another.
One user asked about a potential unveiling date and Ben responded "I really have no idea. I could guess at a month or two, but it's only a guess."
When asked if it was a new IP or not: "Er...no. I mean, no, we can't say whether it is or it isn't."
Then Ben provided some interesting information: "And I'll tell ya what, people: the game in question has already been mentioned in the Comments. You can just fight amongst yourselves to determine which one it might be...you'll get no confirmation from us. HA. ;)"
There was a TON Of titles guessed across 145(!!) comments, so I'll narrow it down.
It's not Team ICO's game. Team ICO games haven't been 'system sellers', it just that everyone who played them loved, lol.
MGS5 will not be announced after a year from MGS4's Release Date!
Some people mentioned Kingdom Hearts 3, but sadly..I think KH will be going multiplatform this generation.
My guess? Twisted Metal (PS3). Its a System seller, actually its the only franchise tha has been arounds since PS1...
I'll update this post with ANY and ALL information as Ben let's it be known!
What Do you Guys think?
