VGA and Game Cam!

I recently discovered how to use Game cam, and combined with my mild VGA it is a wonderful combination! I made a short montage of my time spent with a certain someone in Crysis. Comment on vid plz, Its my first one and I'm still working out the bugs. No WoW movies shall go up...yet...

And if you don't know what VGA is, click here!

The Orange Box

I got the orange box a couple of weeks ago but just started playing it now. I have played some Halflife 2 which is fun but havnt touched portal yet. The most addicting thing is team fortress. If you get it add me and We can play it :)

I'm having a mid-life Crysis...

So I went into Eb games yesterday to make a few purchases, Including the Orange Box, which I had wanted for AGES and finally got permission to get it. The other game I got was Crysis. When I went to buy Crysis the guy was very, very, very worried that it would kill my comp and said I was 1 of 8 people in the city who could play it :P But I can run it with all the setting on medium and there arent any lag probs or hitches at all. It is an AMAZING game and if you can get your hands on it or play it somewhere you should. It is unbelievable, so good that I havnt even played the orange box because I can't stay away from Crysis. That being said, I can't wait for Warhead now and can understand why PC people love this game so much. Thats my thought for the day

Summer is coming to an end...

Summer is well on its way to ending, school gets in on Sept.2 (five days earlier than last year) and so all I have to look forward to is work and maybe seeing some friends (Stevie_Q) hopefully. On the plus side, I got lots of good gaming in and probably have some reviews i want to write. There are some things that surprised me this summer in the game world, and here is the top 5.

5.Ninja Gaiden is an EXTREMELY hard game. This game is not only hard but, you dont get to choose your difficulty. It gives you a difficulty for the game depending on how well you do the first level. Since the first level is the demo level i had done it tons and therefore was on the hardest difficulty. It is the hardest game I have ever played.

4. Star Wars TFU wasnt as good as I had hoped. Unless they do some serious control changing this will be a difficult game to play through. (when you pick something up, it is hard to aim and you cant move so you can get shot to death while trying to force lift an object.)

3.Too Human flopped! I thought the game looked cool and was hoping I would get a chance to play it, so much for that.

2.Bioshock wasnt as amazing as everyone (including almost every reviewer on the planet) had said. Sure, its cool (and scary) at first, but as the game moves on it becomes repetitive and some of the powers and guns are just cheap. You either need to use one certain gun the whole game, or one certain plasmid(I won't specify for those who want to play Bioshock). I never brought myself to finish the game and wouldnt recommend buying it but rather renting it.

1.FFVII is one of the best games I have ever played, even if it is a bit old. It probably has one of the best storylines and the best soundtrack in a game. Everything is memorable and I wish they made more games like this.

And finally... I might get an X360 WITH XBL if they do end up reducing the price of an Xbox Arcade to $199, plus I might get a High-def tv (finally) and yeah thats pretty much it. Hopefully everyone else had great summers too :)

Bioshock - FF7

I got Bioshock for PC with EXTREMELY high expectations and I must say that at a first glance they were met, but once you get about 5 or 6 hours into the game, it starts getting boring. Its a good game, but once you get to a certain point its just a bunch of quests where you have to go back through areas and fetch items, plus the graphics aren't great, they are below average IMO running it on all the highest settings. Its fun but its too easy sometimes as well. There is practically a checkpoint around every corner and your plasmids, or "powers" are just cheap if you use them to kill people, and you don't even need them except to progress through the story. So far I have mostly just gone through the game with a shortgun and fire plasmids and its to easy. The story is amazing though.

All I'm going to say about FFVI is that you need to find a copy of this game and play it. 12 hours in I have not yet beaten the first of 3 disks and if you don't mind bad graphics(they were good at the time!) this is an amazing game. I'm borrowing from someone and it is honestly one of the best games I have ever played.

Sony Press Conference

Wow. This press conference was quite good. I thought that they would unveil something better and bigger at the end but MAG still seems pretty cool. Overall, I think this was the best of the 3 because 90% of it was all really good stuff that I would actually enjoy. They didn't show as many trailers but at least they showed off some on the best games. GoW 3 is gonna be epic and is one of my fav games of all time, can't wait to find out its release date. And the stuff for PSP seems great too as I have both a Ps3 and a PSP. I'm prlly not gonna get a X360 now because there were only 3 'big' games that I noticed at the Microsoft conference, only 1 that I would want to buy, and the only other X360 game i REALLY want is coming to Ps3 in November. Anyway what are everyone elses thoughts on it if you saw it?

Xbox 360 plz?

So I recently got back from holidays and checked into work to get the paycheque i missed. They gave me 2. I was surprised and still dont really know why but i think it was due to me forgetting one a long time ago. That means I have money that I never thought existed and was thinking about getting an Xbox360. The only thing is, I need some advice from some people who maybe have one. Should I go elite or not? And I'm not sure whether I should get XBL because now PSN is just behind, if not the just as good. I don't know which games to get first and so I'm not sure whether I should jump in. Help?

2 New games

At EB games (or Gamestop I guess depending on where you live) they have a special right now where you trade in games and they give you extra money depending on how many. I chose 5 games I never played anymore and knew I would never play again and got around $130. Thats pretty good. I got God of War: Chains of Olympus and love it. I beat it once and now I'm gonna beat it again for kicks. It still has an outrageous amount of violence which is pretty neat :). I also got Assassins Creed and for all of you who have played it, you know what I'm talkin' about. If you havn't played it, you should play it! It's freakin' Sweet! I still have money left over too which is pretty cool. Others than that my summer has pretty much been working and hanging out when I find the time. Don't really have a plan...Hope everyone elses summer is good too. On July 4 I'm going out to my buddies place at Shuswap lake which is prlly gonna be the best week this summer. Doesn't compare to Stevie_Q though, he's going to Africa!!!!

Metal Gear Online

After the long signup process for my Konami ID, Game ID, Game Character...

Anyway, I thought I was going to be playing just another online game, which is fine because I love playing online, But MGO seems to offer something different. Like CoD4, you can customize. But unlike COD4, there is probably 3 times the selection, and you can even make your own characters, which is very in depth. Also, it seems to have many different modes, only 4 of which I have played. It has a stamina bar and health bar, which is something I have not seen in a game in a while. In every other game you regenerate if you don't die from being hit. I think this is better because now one person can't go around killing everyone else because his health doesn't regenerate. You can use almost any move from the actual game, which means there are many strategies you can use (including hiding in a cardboard box then strangling someone as they pass you), and is not just another game where you shoot everything that moves. If you have an MGO ID let me know what it is :) My Characters name is Georgetown and Id is Darkmastaflex
