Hi everyone, Hope you are all doing good. I'm back for another blog, at least something is better then nothing. There are tons of stuff I wanna talk about, I'll try to be descriptive and short as possible.
What I did in past 3 Months
- I was doing tons of College work.
- Was also preparing my little sister for her exams for some time.
- Planned to make a blog a lot of time but in the end :? :lol: , Got my Blog deleted twice too, that was Terrible.
- Watched tons of movies, Major ones were Saw VI, The Sherlock Holmes and Alice in the Wonderland.
- Stopped Blogging because.........Well there were tons of reasons but one of them was that I didn't commented in others blogs and I didn't felt good that you people commented in mine.
- Bought a lot of Stuff too inc New PSU, You people remember my PSU and GTX 260 got smoked :! , A new 3D card 9800 GX2, A new Gaming mouse and an awesome Gaming Keyboard (My First). New 500GB hard drive, New Headphones and a new Handset.
- Then in the end it was all about exams since 1 1/2 months, Assignments, Drawing Sheets, Practical Copies, Jobs and later on 10 papers and 7 Pracs, In my Practicals the E3 came and I made a blog too (The Previous one).
The E3 Live Coverage was Hard and I'm an Agent
Yep as the title states, The E3 was hard for me. I had practicals in the morning and the coverage was at night. Coverage started at 8 or 9 pm and ended like 9am, My prac time was 10 am, So no sleep and then going for practical was a tough workout, It's also way too hot here in summers, So that was like icing on the top. Overall It was a hard but fun task and I thoroughly enjoyed E3 coverage and Yes I GOT THE AGENT EMBLEM, Which is Awesome, Yiiippiieee :D
Exams Ended
My exams ended this Monday and finally I'm free, So it's a time for tons of games and some trips although the hot weather is annoying and sometimes you don't wanna do anything and just wanna sleep and drink water, So the extreme gaming ain't possible.
Oh Sorry the topic was about Exams Ended, So friends my 10 Papers and 7 Pracs are gone. I did 8 papers good 2 ok but It seems I'll clear all of them. The same can't be said about the practicals, I gave 4 awesome, 2 Good and last terrible, I don't know why but I was Stunned (Don't know the right word), I just messed everything, I wish to succeed in that practical but it seems hard, I pray Almighty Allah helps (Ameen)
Games Ended in the Time I wasn't here
To be honest I ended tons of games in meantime, So I'll make a list :
JANUARY = Tekken 6 (PSP) , Assassin's Creed : Bloodlines (PSP), Gran Turismo (PSP) and my pending game MGS VR Missions (PS1,PSN).
FEBRUARY = Parappa : The Rapper (PSP), N+ (PSP), Metal Gear Solid (PS1,PSN).
MARCH = Dante's Inferno (PS3), NFS Shift (PSP), Machinarium (PC), Final Fantasy Anniversary (PSP), DIRT 2 (PC).
APRIL = Plants VS Zombies (PC), God of War 3 (PS3), Final Fantasy VII (PS1,PSN), Aliens VS Predator (PC), Metal Slug 6 [MS Collection] (PC).
MAY = Halo (PC), Foreign Legion : The Buckets of Blood (PC), Rogue Warrior (PS3) and my pending game X-Men : The Official Game
So you see friends tons of Games ended in 5 months, I was really addicted to my PSP for some time as the list shows but now the addiction has worn off. Well I'll say which one of these are awesome games:
Tekken 6 = Not much has improves since Tekken 5 and some new additions weren't worth it, Talking about Scenrio mode. Heihachi's game was made a crap. I played console version a lot but only versus, Ended the PSP version which is almost identical to it's console brother except Campaign mode and a little customization. OVERALL 8 for PSP and 8.5 for Console.
Gran Turismo = The PSP game is tons of fun but without Carrer mode, It's not much to play, The driving is realistic and the game looks spectacular, It's worth it for GT fans and there is the best simulator on handhelds too. OVERALL 8 of 10.
Dante's Inferno = I really loved Dante's Inferno, Sure in first glance it looks a lot like god of war but it ain't completely, It's a fun game and in my opinion The IP has potential, No way it can hold a cndle to god of war 3 but it's a good game. OVERALL 7.5 of 10.
Plants VS Zombies = There's a Zombie in your Lawn, Back to topic :lol: I will recommend it to all of you specially if you have a laptop, This game is worth it, It's addicting and is fun, Give it a little time and it will grow on you. For the price, The package is way too much awesome, My first perfect of the year. OVERALL 10 of 10.
E3 was Awesome
I'm sure many of you would be tired of E3 articles and Blogs, So I won't take much of your time.
There were some great announcements in conferences and some awesome games were shown, I'm still trying to wrap up my E3 updates and come up with a list of games to keep an eye, So don't have much to say right now, Once I complete the list which will take about this month :oops: Then I'll share it with you people. Moving on to the Conferences:
Microsoft = MS showed tons of great stuff in start but later on it was too much about Kinect. For some reason Kinect didn't seemed innovative as last year, You people remember Milo, The Skateboard scan, The girl changing clothes, Thew KungFu Master game, Those games looked innovative, This year it was all about copying WII Games, It seems those all games were for natal and this is Kinect so it has it's own games :lol:. Giving a free X360 to bribe the media was a bad move. 150$ is a way hig price too 99$ seemed OK but we shouldn't forget Natal is for two or more players wheras in Move or WII, you need to buy more controllers. I'm looking forward to Gears of War 3 and Fable 3. OVERALL 3.5 out of 5 Stars.
Sony = Whatever you all say but Move seems interesting to me, The Sony Eye camera can make a lot of differece e.g In WII if one is standing and doing stuff right and second person is sitting on couch and waving his hand, both may be equal but with Eye, We have equality. I think we can have shooters on Move too, Don't take me wrong I like my controller more but one can play a game twice using controller and move. The X, Y, Z axis plus controller and buttons :lol: can make a difference, So I think Move has potential. Great PSP lineup was shown too. I'm looking forward too Twisted Metal, Infamous 2, LBP 2, GOW Ghost of Sparta and The 3rd Birthday eagerly. OVERALL 4 out of 5 Stars.
Nintendo = I do not own a WII and haven't dusted my DS since.....(I've forgot). So there was nothing I was looking forward to in NN's conference but nintendo surprised me with quality products. Surely Nintendo came prepared this year. There were some great games shown for Wii such as Epic Mickey, Kirbys's Epic Yarn (So Cute), The Legend of Zelda : The Skyward Sword, Donkey Kong Returns and Metroid Other M, I wished I owned a Wii, so definitely the games had potential. The show stealer was 3DS and I'm surprised to see the developer support, To be honest 3DS sounded awesome, It was same like when WII came, Everyone said I can't totally agree until I play it. Whomever played it was blown away that truly motion controls can work. Still majority of people weren't or aren't convinced but I'm sure they will once again be blown away by this technology. (When they play it). I'm sure Nintendo will get Gazillion pre-orders for this but still the price point is a huge factor, I wish it's not more then 250$ but as I've read on internet and it seems it'll launch on 300$, Which is way too much for me. And if 350$ rumour is true oh crap. OVERALL 5 of 5 Stars.
THANK YOU GS
Well GS gave a great coverage this year although I hated the show floor host, The E3 Live Cam was great addition but many of you wouldn't have seen it due to stage show, The host was super cool and I regret that I watched Stage show more instead of Live Cam. Wish there is no Tonight on the Spot from next year because it was way too late and wasn't any fun too except last episode, I guess GS forgot we are humans and we have to get some sleep :lol:. Hats off GS team for such a great show and Thank You for such awesome emblems. What's your Opinion on GS E3 Coverage???
E3 is Still Going for Me
The people who know me from some time will know that E3 is a big deal for me, I almost watch 90% of the videos, Read 75% of articles and this is not only limited to GS but to GT and IGN's coverage too. After watching all the coverage I make a long list of 30 to 40 titles and then trim a few and in the end I play like 10 or so games from list, It's like noting my gaming future, So still tons of shows and videos to watch, Which I will once I return to my home :).
Vacation Trip
Once again my friends who know me from long will know that every year I've to visit almost all of my relatives because of parents, Some are fun, Some are annoying, So according to the tradition :lol: I'm on Trip No.1 since this Tuesday and will return on Tuesday June 29th. There ain't any Internet available where I'll go tonight at 6 pm and from their I'll return as told, I'll see you guys when I return.
Super Hot
I ain't talking about any model, You naughty people :lol:. It's way to hot here nowadays and I'm melting guys, It's ranging from 45C (113F) to 49C (120.2F) every day and that's why I'm on trip, I guess I shouldn't have made this section.
My New Show
Gotta tell you about this, Me and My Bro are hired by a local radio station, For a Gaming Weekly update show in our native language. I'm like an assistant but still it's super fun, It's voluntary work but I'm enjoying it, We just recorded the first episode on E3 Major conferences update, Which was on air this week :D
Now Playing
This blog is getting long :evil: Nowadays I'm playing Call of Juarez : Bound in Blood (Majorly) and Max and Magic Marker and Blur are in temporarily pending state.
