Sony's E3 Press Confernce '08

Sony's press confernce was more interesting then Nintendo's, was more fun to watch, with all them game montages. I wasn't really interested in most of the games they showed, Little Big Planet, I didn't see anything special about it. Singstar, Ratchet and Clank for the Playstation Network and psp, isn't really thing either. The Playstation Home, look interesting, with the different area's from each game, something to keep my eye on. I did like the gameplay of Resistance 2, I never wanted to play First-Person Shooters on the PS3, I thought the design of the controller was wierd and akrward to play that type of genre. But, after seeing, the video, I am diffenetly having a change of heart, may even pick the first one up, when I get a ps3. Prince of Persia, from the gameplay I've seen, looks like a must buy; like the trailers of God of War III, inFamous, and M.A.G. If Sony can deliever what that saying in presentation for MAG, 256 players, 8 squads, etc, they are going to a have massive hit on their hands.

So, I'm diffenently getting a PS3 this year, if not, next year around march 09, with Resident Evil 5, maybe, if the controls are better then the 360s.

Nintendo E3 Press Confernce '08

I watched the Nintendo Press Confernce, hoping for some good games to be announced. But no such luck, I got to see Wii music, Wii sports resort, and Animal Crossing. Altough Animal Crossing look good, I am not a fan, nor do I not want to play the game. No hardcore games, only casual games, that I wouldn't spend 50 bucks on. I was hoping for some good games like, Final Fantasy CC, another Zelda game, or even a little teaser trailer of the next metroid game, something, I watched the whole thing and was bored out of my mind, not even the Ds games, brighten my mood, very disappointing.

I guess this year my money going to the 360 again, old wii and Ds games sound good and are cheap, this time of year.

Batman: Gotham Knight

Yesterday, I took a trip to my local Moviestop to pick up my reserved copy of Batman: Gotham Knight. The story starts, were Batman: Begins ended. The story ends, were Batman: Dark Knight starts. The story has six interlocking espiodes, directed by six different people. One of those directers, is the acclaimed Bruce Timm, his work contists of, Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League Series, Superman: The Animated Series cartoons. This is first and only PG-13 batman in history, with 76 minutes of great story of Batman. Batman is still voiced by Kevin Conroy, who gave his to batman for the animeted series.

The animation is anime all the way, with action, drama, and story telling. If your a batman or anime fan, then this diffenently something you want to see. I highly, highly recommend it to anyone and everyone, who enjoys batman, movies or storytelling.

Finally, Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin Completed!!

Sorry, just a quick blog, my grammer is going to suck. The game took me a little over a year to complete, it took 17:46:47 hours, 899.70% explored of the game, I was at level 49, when I beat the last boss. I didn't complete many side quests, like the The Nest of Evil and only completed 48.64% of the mini-quests, I only mastered 3 sub-weapons, Bible, Spear, and Cream Pie. I had a lot trouble with the bosses, mainly the last boss, first form, 10 trys before I beat him, mainly used the bible through out the game; become a lot easier after that. I'm not really going back to the game, because, the game was so hard and long, I had enough of it. By far, one of the best castlevania game I ever played. This is the 28th game I completed this year, I'm on a roll.

Next on the list, for Ds games, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

*Update*

I have beat the third dungeon boss in Neutopia, I've gotton the Rainbow Drop and moved on to the fourth Dungeon.

I have some bad news!

Last night, while playing some cod4 online, I got three kills in a row and doing pretty good for my self. My xbox 360 started to make this wierd rubbing sound, next thing I know it, the game resets itself, then it goes back to the dashboard and then shut offs. Mean while, my game was still in the system making wierd sounds like it was rubbing up against something, I manage to stop the system from turning on and off by itself, but I was having trouble getting the cd out, the disc drive wouldn't open. So I go online, to see what I can do, the answer was to take off the face-plate, push a button and the system will spit out the game. Well I had trouble with that, the face-plate was on there good, no where near coming off. But, I did get lucky, goofing off with the face-plate, the drive suddenly poped opened; the game as a few scratches on it, I don't think anything major. This sucks, I have to wait until july to get it fixed, because that's the next time I get some cash, since I spent a lot saturday night hanging out with some friends. I can't play retail games, but I think, the system can still play the XBLA games, I have on it.

Some Gaming Updates

I thought would let everybody know what's going on with game I'm playing.

Commando 3-I have 130/200 points with 8 achievements so far, close to completing the game, all I need is the difficulty achievements, I'm good as gold.

Neutopia-Having trouble with this one, I'm in the third dungeon, stuck at the boss (Two Demon Statues). Can't seem to get enough hits on them, when they stop cicleing the board.

Suikoden Tactics- I'm currently working on the side-quests, trying to level up some of my characters, but I'm close to completeing, chapter 16 I'm on, there is only 21 chapters. I did lose a lot characters playing this game, some of them were good, they died because the enemies ganged up of them.

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga-I complete this game already, it isn't that hard of a game, but went back for the achievements. I need to more characters, then section of the game is complete. But, I do have a lot of mini-kits to collect, which is taking a lot longer then expected.

Wild Arms: Alter Code F-I'm still leveling up in this game, the highest I have is at level 60, takes a while to level up in this game. I did manage to defeat 2 hidden bosses, humpty and dumpty.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruins-I'm on last boss, Dracula and the Grim Reaper, still can't manage to put this away, I have no idea what to do, hopefully, by doing some side quests, that might what I need to turn the tide and complete this game.
