Orange Box final Update

As someof you may know I bought orange box a little while ago. Sorry to keep you waiting on the update, but Ive been playing Call of Duty 4 online. Well one day durring my christmas break(today being my last day) COD4 online wasnt working. So I picked up playing where I left off with orange box.

Now Half-Life 2 ran great(besides some frequent load times) and it was a great experience. However Episodes 1 and 2 didnt fair as well. These games had some frame rate issues, that made parts of some levels un-playable. But 90% of the time they ran great with no problems at all.

Final Word: A must buy for some one that has never played half life before and owns only a ps3. If you can get it for 360 or the PC those would be the versions to pick up over the ps3 version.

Now the wait begins for Episode 3, since episode 2 ended yet again with another video game cliff hanger ending!

Orange Box, Frame Rate issues?

Man o Man I just finished Half Life 2, and what a great gaming experience! I didn't encounter any serious frame rate problems that GS mentioned. So if you are a ps3 owner please dont be afraid to pick this up. Ill let you know how episodes one and two are technical wise as well. And Ive played half way through portal and it's great! Ill have to go to gamewinners.com, some of the puzzels are getting hard!

Oh and about Half life 2, there are frequent load times, but they won't bother you in later levels when the action picks up.

New Game Orange Box

I bought a new game today. The Orange box for ps3. So far its great! I havent had any frame rate problems mentioned in reviews. But the load times are a bit anoying, its not that they are long its just they pop up way too much. It kinda stops the action. Other than the load times this package is great. This should keep me busy for a long while :D

Level 28 again!

Wow I was moded again on system wars, another cheap mod too. I just said somethin bad about thewii, like over half of system wars posts any way. I would have been lvl 30 by now....... well im done posting in SW for now, until im lvl 30. I just cant get over the fact how cheap the moderation was.

Yes another Jeff Blog(am I leaving?)

Yes Jeff has been fired from GameSpot for absolutely nothing. He reviewed a game honestly and with integrity and he should not be punished for this. I write this blog to give my respects to him and the "old" GS. He was the best reviewer on GS and in a way "was" GS. I never really found anything to disagree with in his reviews, mostly because they were well written unlike Aarons.

Im also writing this to let you all know that I may leave GS, I could handle all the xbots on system wars, but this was just too much even for me. If I do leave it will be when I reach level 30, Ive always wanted to be that level(level 32 snake eater more). Maybe in the time it takes to reach that level GS can do something to change my mind, I will just have to wait and see.

Well I had a great time talking in my Unions, forums, and even being leader of my own union! You can still contact me on PSN. STARSMOKER is my ID. I doubt Ill join any other review site, Ive kinda needed to wean my self off it any way lol.

Ratchet and Clank My Thoughts....

I bought R&C Future yesterday. Ive played it probably half way through and I have to tell you, GS screwed up with their review. This is the best R&C game out of the series. All the new features doesnt mean its lacking identity, it adds to the game experience and in my opinion makes it feel more like R&C. This is a must buy for any R&C fan, dont listen to the GS reveiw. This is almost as bad as their Scarface review.

Wep Secruity!!!!!!!

Well I finaly set up secruity for my wireless connection at home. My nieghborhood can no longer steal my internet! And I can't believe how much faster my connection already is! Hopefully my online gaming will be less laggy.
