woo holiday

I'm now on holiday for a while so i get plenty of time to relax, sleep and most importantly, GAME.

I won;t be doing much so i'll just have to play every game iv been putting off, the types of games you love playing but just dont start and when you do start you just cant stop.

My missions:

Complete oblivion

Advance mroe in Medievel II: total war

Complete C&C 3

=)

Bishop attacks video game

Yes thats right, apparently the bishop thought it was disgraceful for the game to be based around killing people in his cathedral. I find a few things wrong with this so i shall list them.

1) It isn't based ont he cathedral, its a small part of the game

2) It is NOT humans being killed it's aliens

3) ITS A VIDEO GAME!!!!!!!! in case i am not being clear enough, IT IS NOT REALITY

Apparently the church also claims the game undermines all the work they do, can you please explain this? How is it undermining your work? ITS A GAME - "not reality" it is not undermining your work. As for this:

"We are shocked to see a place of learning, prayer and heritage being presented to the youth market as a location where guns can be fired."

well yet again i make my point, its a videogame - NOT REALITY, no sane person will just come along and fire guns in your church just because it is in a game.

I seen a report on this a couple minutes ago on tv by the BBC (updated due to information on the bbc site) so i don't have much information but they got a woman called patsy McKie from MAV (Mothers Against Violence) Who basicly said something along the lines of (i wasn't really paying attention to her but i got the basic idea of what she said) there isn't just war being fought in iraq but there is a war being fought here and violent/action games should be taken away so they cant affect young peoples minds. I quote from the news source on the bbc website(by patsy):

"I believe it's something that needs to be taken seriously first by the Church but also by parents."

Why....it's a game sure at least the church can say something since it's their church but why parents? Really i don't see the need for it to be taken seriously by parents? What has it possibly got to do with parents? If the child isn't old enough to tolerate some violence in games don't let your child get the game! Also if you want this game taken seriously then you may as well go make every other shooter game a serious matter.

I have something to say to this woman, go away - please just go away, now.

They are out to get this game taken off the market but since this game is a best seller for the PS3 i do not see that happening and this whole incident will probably just drag the churches image down in the minds of a lot of gamers.

Here is the source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/6736809.stm

I just quickly put this together so information may be incorrect but i made it as accurate as i could in the time i was making it

Warhawk beta

A new blog entry?, yes its true so here we go.

Warhawk is a game much like BF2 except this will be for the PS3 and will make use of the sixaxis' motion sensing capabilities.

 Last night(about 20 hours ago) at 1am i applied for the warhawk beta.

I'm hoping im accepted because it looks like an awesome game and it is multiplayer only, this means there is NO singleplayer so hopefully multiplayer will be awesome.  I'm also torturing people that couldnt apply because they have stop accepting new applications =).

 

The beta starts may 24th which is this thursday, so hopefully i will recieve an email about monday telling me that ill be accepted or not, and if im not im going to go out and kidnap a few of their staff =). 

Yay for free stuff!

I meant to write this blog yesterday but forgot, oh well.

I'm pleased with Sony because on saturday i recieved a blu-ray disc of casino royale, free! =D

It was great to see it come through with the mail. Anyway i got it, free!, for because one of the first something thousand people to register with the Playstation Network in Europe. Oh and the movie is awesome. 

PS3 firmware, 1.70 is released

Well today i decided to play my PS3 and found....AN UPDATE so i downloaded and instealled it.

Pretty much this is what's added:

- You can now download PlayStation format software from the PS Store and play it on your PS3
- You can use saved data for PlayStation format software on the PSP
- You can use the vibration function of accessories that are for use with PlayStation and PlayStation 2 format software.

 This will be because of the arrangement that sony made with the company(can't remember the company's name) and so the Vibration function is enabled(yay) so sixaxis rumble soon? To be honost im not really bothered about rumble but oh well it's still good.

Fast delivery

I decided to buy the PS3 game "Formula 1: Championship Edition" from amazon uk since its only about £30 not inc P&P, anyway i bought it yesterday at around 5pm at the earliest and it already arrived! at aabout 1pm today. wasnt expecting it since they were aiming to dispatch by 7th(tomorrow) and delivered by 10th so it was a surprise.

I guess i should say something about the game ;)

Its awesome, i started out in career mode but got bored of the tests so i went for world championship mode, chose Alonso + Renault got pole position as my starting point was doing great, second lap........engine failure =(.

The muliplayer is good too apart from the few times it freezes for a second and apart from a couple idiots ramming into the back of you making you spin out or crashing causing both cars to be last, but apart from that it's great.

The crashes are realistic, the pit stop system is good, the detail and graphics are awesome unfortunately the commentary can get a bit repetitive but i dont mind. I think it is a great game and should be bought by every F1 fan, even if you don't own a PS3 buy it so you can at least say you own one. 

I have my PS3

My PS3 was delivered a few days ago alongwith Resistance: Fall of Man and an HDMI cable, after finally getting it on (forgot i had to put in another cable) i was VERY impressed.

I love everything about it to begin with and Resistance is a great game. The graphics, the story, graphics and gameplay are all great and to know that the games are going to get better and better on this console is awesome to know so i believe it is worth the money. Now to get past the first london part.... 

PS3 coming my way

I pre-ordered my Playstation 3 last sunday from GAME for about £477 which includes the console (obviously), an HDMI cable for my HDTV =D and finally, Resistance: Fall of Man. Worth it? Well for this much money i definately hope its worth it, i guess ill have to wait until iv actually got it and have played it till i find out which hopefully wont be too long ;).

 Games i hope to get in 2007:

Resistance: Fall of Man - already getting it

F1: Championship Edition

Lair - not released yet

Warhawk - not released yet

MGS4 - not released yet

Armoured Core 4 (maybe)

Assassins Creed - This is the game i most want to own since it looks pretty much awesome also not out yet
