Ill admit its not the most pc thing to include in a game but after all it is a game and there are several reasons as to why it didnt bother me. 1) it played a role in the story line, it wasnt just an add in to upset people and add shock value. 2) it wasnt a bunch of US military guys just blasting away at an aitport full of innocent people. 3) one playing the mission doesnt even have to shoot an innocent person if they didnt want to, just wait til that part passes. 4) you could skip it. 5) the whole game, like all war games involve you shooting people all the time regardless of who it is. 6) its just a video game.

Activision/Redoctane products are @$$ and im fed up with all of them!
by PhoenixVenom on Comments
im fed up with activision/Redoctane with their defective riddled products. im mainly talking about gh products. this is the third time my drum kit broke and ive gone through 4 defective guitars. its a load of @#$% if you ask me. their products break and you have to pay for shipping and wait 6-8 weeks for them to replace the product, its terrible. i payed my hard earned money for gh band kit and the drums keep breakin and the guitar plays notes when you dont even touch it. i payed for a product and it should work and if it doesnt they should do everything in their power to fix the situation.
maybe its just me but does anyone else feel this way about this or any other company or game product that isnt up to the quality it should be?
Cardinals Got Screwed
by PhoenixVenom on Comments
The Steelers won thier second world championship in the past four years and the only people they have to thank for that are the good ol' refs. Again the refs handed the Stealers (should be spelled that way) a victory. Lets review some pints for the game:
The refs called personal fouls and roughing the passer on arizona like it was first nature. The refs kept on giving the Stealers chances to score when they faultered.
They didnt call a personal fould on Holmes for celebrating after the td which would have given the cardinals another 15 yards.
James harrision should have been ejected for throwing 2 punches at the arizona lineman during the punt.
Hines ward should have been ejected for throwing a punch in the first quarter.
Almost every play Ben Craplisberger had to scramble from the pressure and they only called holding once which is bull
They claaed holding on the Cardnials everytime they made a big blay for a crucial first down.
On the last play of the game that was an incomplete pass not a fumble. It should have been arizona ball with 4 seconds left. they should of had another play.
any in a Giants fan so im not bitter that the cardnials lost, just kinda upset that the refs game another game to the Stealers
If Hell Could Be Put Into Sound
by PhoenixVenom on Comments
If Hell could be converted into sound I believe it would sound exectly like Raining Blood by Slayer.
The song is so fast, so evil, so heavy and so great that whenever its on you feel like satan is going to apear and rip out your soul, but in a good way. You almost if not definitly do want that to happen. When its on you have to look around to check where you are and not in the pits of hell surrounded by fire and evil, althought I wouldnt hate that.
It doesnt get any more evil or angry. Slayer will always hold a special piece of my heart, that black rotted hole that is left by their evilness.
My 2009 Game Wish List!
by PhoenixVenom on Comments
2008 was a great year for gaming so many great titles from gta4 to gears2 to fallout3 to L4D and so on. 2009 looks like to be headed off in the right start for another great gaming year. This is my wish list for 2009 up to this point:
1) Street Fighter IV - Im a huge fighting game fan and play basically every fighting game out there but i am especially pumped for SF IV. Not only is it my favorite fighting series but this game looks super sweet. The animations and the graphics are just mind blowing and the new moves and finishers are just amazing. ive been counting down the days til release since it was confirmed.
2) Resident Evil 5 - Need i say more, but i will. RE has gotten better and better which each installment and never dissapoints. 5 just looks unbeilivable from all the screen shots and videos. This is the first one on a next gen console so im very eager to see what they can do with more power. There are just gunna be hordes of zombies and ill take the pleasure of blowing each of thier heads off. I know 2009 just started but this is my pich for Game of The Year.
3) Guitar Hero Metallica - I love GH ive been playing it since it first came out and way before it became so mainstream and popular. GH is awesome to me and i love playing it. GHM should have a sweet track list and the best part is that all the songs from them and the other bands in it should all be heavy and pulverizing. And the drum play should be sick with the metallica tracks. Great solo or party game.
4) Legands of Wrestlemania - Wrestling as of late hasnt been so great imo. From about 85 to 95 is when wrestling was best to me. Thats when all my favorite wrestlers were around Demolition, Honky Tonk Man, Jake the snake Roberts, the million dollar man, rick rude, mr. perfect ect. thats why i wanna wait til the full rostr is released fo this game to see how good it is, how many wrestlers are in it and if my favorite wrestlers are even in it. Its Legends of wrestlemania so it should be a really good roster but due to liecensing im sure a bunch of big names will be left out like the macho man and bret hart and the ultimate warrior. But im excited for this title and cant wait to hear more about it.
this is my list for now and will be added to i just wanted to get a start on it.
Stop Hatin' on Call of Duty: World at War
by PhoenixVenom on Comments
This will be short but sweet.
Since the announcement of COD:WAW alot of people have been complaining and hatin' on it because it was another WWII game and they did have a point and i do agree with them. also people were disappointed that the game play is the same as COD4 and that nothing new was done. But i think that is good cause it gives the game a comfort feeling and to be able to pick it up and play without having to learn a new controler layout.
Critics against waw: another WWII game and Same as COD4
Well heres my arguements for WAW. First off Flamethrowers rule all, theres nothing like settin someone on fire and flamin someone out of a trench or bunker. Ill never get tired of burning people alive, in the game that is.
Second yeah it is another WWII game and it has been a bit over done, but this one blows all the others ones out of the water, no pun intended. This game is sweet, gameplay is familiar which makes it easy to pick up and start playin.
Third waw may be cod4 with a WWII cloak over it but so what. cod4 was one of the sweetest games that come out in along time so imo its great that its like that so you know the game is gunna be like it in another setting and different weapons.
Fourth people also complain that it is cod4 just made in WWII and dont want to pay $60 for another game, and i do agree with them about that. Games are expensive and you want to spend your money wisely. To them its not worth the money for a similar game in an over done setting. The thing is NO ONE SAID THAT YOU HAVE TO BUY THE GAME. If you dont like it then dont get it.
I got the game for x-mas ans actually i started playing it today and its great. Its a new experience in the WWII setting and to me its the best WWII game right now. I agree they have been over done and i do hope that they do cool down with it soon.
Maybe for me waw isnt that big of a disappointment because i didnt play every other WWII game that came out before this for ours upon hours. I guess i havent over expossed myself to WWII games yet Everyone is differentso people love it and some people hate it.
And to those of you that hate COD:WAW all i have to say it:
FLAMETHROWERS RULE
First Let Me Introduce Myself
by PhoenixVenom on Comments
Let me start off by introducing myself and give you alittle background. I am an extremely avid gamer, would be a hardcore gamer just dont have the time, wish I would thoug cause its a big part of my life. I have seen a great variety of console and handheld systems in my life and enjoy every genre of game there is, i leave nothing untouched or unexplored. Thats how you find some hidden gems by playing everything and not limiting yourself to just one or a few genreas of games. Try everything you would be suprised at what you might like or discover. So I guess what I am getting at is that I have seen and played a huge variety of games and systems: everything from coleco to xbox 360. Ive been playing since ive been born and wont stop til im dead. I feel that I am a very well rounded and informed with games and the history of gaming. Alot of innovation has happened in the world of gaming and there is still a monster load to come. I plan on being apart of it all.
When it comes to games itself i am very observant and critical. At times I mat be very tough and critical torawd a game or system and preview of something but the one thing I will promise to all of you (or any one who reads my blogs or reviews) is that I will always be fair and completely honest. I pretty much take everything from the gaming world: games, systems ect.. and put it under a microscope and discect it to look down deeper and see what is really under the surface of the game to get a full honest view of it.
Over the past 4-5 years there has been a major boom in the gaming industry. Which also means that the price of gaming intertainment has also boomed. Games and systems are at an all time high, eventhough there has been a recent drop in price of systems and some games. But that also gives me and other consumers more reason to be extra critical about games and systems especially when making a purchase of one. I want to know that I am going to get my $65 worth when purchasing a 360 game and $53 on a Wii game. People spend their hard earned money on these games and systems and they dont want to be takin advantage of and want the best possible product for their money. You see beautifly craftedmasterpieces such as COD4 and MGS4 with such great detail and the time and effort put into those games and the results show. These two games along with others are worth their weight in gold they are just spectacular. And then there are those pieces of junk that should have never been made which are such a disgrace to the gameing industry and im talking about such games as ironman and the incredible hulk. They happen to be movie games but that doesnt mean they should just be slopped together and put anything out to the public. The makers of these games should be embarassed to even release it. And there are plenty of other pieces of trash that should have never been made and others that should just stop right now before they are released. I feel sorry for the people that spend their hard earned money on these games and others like it. They threw their money away, they would have benn better off burning the money. At least they would have gotten some sort of enjoyment out of the money and plus they would have gotten to see fire.
I am letting my voice be heard for the people. Im of the people and for the people. We are the consumers without us their isnt a market to sell games. Games should be like flowers, they should be taken care of and given love to and let the sun shine on them and give them a chance to bloom into something beautiful. Making games shouldnt be a sprint it should be a slowly crafted marathon.
