As you may recall in my last article i mentioned my impressions of Modern Warfare 2. First impressions after playing for an hour were great, and after spending more time (8 hours or so) with the game the impressions are even better.

Firstly the amount of weapons, attachments, and perks is just astonishing. There are so many options and there is no doubt that this adds so much more to the gameplay. The maps also are full fo variety, but genrally the maps are not as good as the ones in call of duty 4. There are certain maps here that apply to certain weapons, and if you have the wrong weapon for a map it can be very crippling.

Multiplayer has still been the only aspect of the game ive touched. I have mainly been playing team deathmatch because simply it is so much fun, but I also tried out some other modes. Mosh Pit is a new mode that combines all of the team games into one. For instance, one round would be team deathmatch and the next round would be capture the flag. The capture the flag mode is great and really fun. It is very team oriented. Headquarters is about the same as call of duty 4 except this time around there is a lot more grenade spam (Flashbangs).

It is safe to say Modern Warfare 2 is a game of the year contender, but there are some balence issues with perks and killstreak bonus in the multiplayer that can make the game really one sided.

Hey guys and gals wazzupp.

AS I was playing some Rainbow six Vegas 2 multiplayer today I came to the relization that I do not like the style and flow of the game as much as Vegas 1. In comparison I think Vegas 2 runs too fast for a shooter of its type, and I often get my ass kicked. Some of the new maps like Villa do not fit the game well. It also is way slower to rank up. Whats been up with me? Ive been playing a bunch and have a lot of other things going on I have been streaming me playing live if anyone here is interested in watching. www.justin.tv/toolzz360

Picked up Jak and Daxter, Jak 3, and Jak combat racing. I plan on doing a playthrough of all of them in a row on my stream. i already have jak II.

Here is a quick look at the games I have intrest in and will possibly purchase when they release.

-Fifa 10 a yearly purchase for me

-NHL 10 might possibly get this one game improves every year

-Forza 3- Love the forza series but havent played much of 2 yet

-COD Modern Warefare 2 do I really need to say anything

-Metroid Triliogy- havent played teh primes and they all coem together

-Re Darkside chronicles- loved umbrella chronicles

thats about it only real definite is Modern Warefare 2

Hey guys its been a while just havent had time to post with work, but that is starting to wind down now. Heres an update on what I have been doing gaming wise.

PS3----

I Finsihed MGS 4 yesterday on Normal, completing my playthrough of MGS 1-4 in a row. I am still split between MGS 4 and 3 as being the best in the series. The graphics in MGS 4 are the best I have seen in any game so far really spectacular. 10/10

Street Fighter IV still playing a lot of this online and off. I am up to just under 150 hours playtime, and this is really becoming a very strong contender for my game of the year award. Can win with a few characters now including.....Blanka, Bison, Balrog, Sakura, Akuma and some others. 9.5/10

UFC 2009 I was unsure wheather to buy it, but I got it at launch and it is pretty darn good. I am playing online a lot still trying to get the trophies for lvl 50, 100 wins, and 1 mill fans. I am almost there currently I am lvl 47, my record is 89-67, and i have 600,000 fans. Really a great game online and off althought it is a bit laggy. 8.5/10

RE5 just cleaning up the last few trophies I need and gonna start to play some versus. 9.5/10

360-----

Tom Clancy's HAWX- Didnt know what to expect when I picked this up at teh gamestop sale 20$ one. I must say it has to be the most underrated game of the year so far. Online is a blast, the campaign is pretty damn sick, graphics nuts. It really is just a great game and a pleasent surprise. 9.0/10

BF 1943:

Some of the most fun ive had in any online game. More maps and content would be nice, but cant beat the price. Im currently at lvl 31 of 50. 9.5/10

Enchanted Arms. Ok SRPG, doing a lot of grinding at 77% done. Kinda taken a back seat just dont want to grind any more. 40 hours in. 6.5/10

Call of Duty 4-- Awesome games just countinue to show up in the blog dont know why i didnt get this sooner. Best online shooter. 9.5/10

thats about it look for more posts in the future.

whats up guys as you can see i havent been on in a long while and have been busy with work. As for games i have a few different things to discuss

First I will talk about UFC Undisputed. I have a love hate relationship with the game, as the controls are **** stupid as hell but teh game itself is pretty fun. Online has been a major dissapointment so far but its still kinda addicting. Ill probally end up selling it soon because the game really is garbage

Fifa 09 I have been playing this sparingly, and have been mainly playing Ultimate Team and online quick matches. One of the best sports games ever.

Still been playing a lot of street fighter 4, even though that is startign to get old too.

Also been playing burnout paradise a little bit on the ps3 its a pretty good game but nothing overly special about it.

I just got call of duty 4 and played it for the first time this morning. I love it.

Also on teh 360 ive been playing enchanted arms...decent rpg but a lot of grinding, fifa, rock band 2, and virtua tennis 3...already beat it on ps3 just want some achves, and vegas 2 which is pretty good, but not as good as cod4.

Legends Of Wrestlemania

I had graded this a 7.5 in my previous blog and after playing it more and completing it 100% in 3 days...the game is not as good as I origionally thought. The best mode in the game was legend killer mode, and at the end of it you have to face the entire roster of wrestlers (38) consecutivly. The thing that sucks is that you cannot save your progress, so you have to beat all 38 without shutting the system off. It took about an hour and a half. The rewrite, relive, and rewhatever were not as good as i intially thought. The objectives in matches just got stupid with the last couple matches in each, and you had to complete all of the objectives to past, i think the last fight stone cold vs rock had like 20 objectives. The thing I hate most about the game is that the controls are horrid, which really affects the gameplay. The nostalgia factor boosts the score up. Online was also horrible and tremendously laggy. Final Score 6.5 just below average.

Left 4 Dead

I am so torn on this game. I decided to try the versus mode, where you get to control the special zombies, and I intially hated it. You get kicked from games every couple minutes, and often times your teamates wont do anything forcing you to quit. However i just got finished playing some vs with good players, and it was alot alot better. We were actually communicating and we had a good time. The campaign online isnt much different from the offline. It is a little easier playing with other people vs the AI, but often times people do not stick together. Expert mode is also crazy hard. The gamneplay to me seems repative and i have been very bored at times with the game. I will probally end up sending it back to gamefly soon. Score downgraded to 7.5. I think the score could end up anywhere from a 6.5-8.

Backloggery.com has decided the next game I should play is Outlaw Tennis on the origional xbox. I have decided to stream a lot more often (wow that didnt make sense) and I enjoy it. I had about 100 viewers watching me at once, and I find it fun to chat with other people why they watch you play.

Impressions

Left 4 Dead

Ive spent about 3 hours with L4d going through three of the four campaigns in single player. I plan on playing co-op in the future. The single player functions the same as co-op, and for the most part the AI is very good and they are not any hinderance. They did however leave me out to die right at the end of one campaign right as they were leaving. The graphics in the game are very good, as well as the sound affects and teamate banter. I plan on trying out the versus mode today as long with a little bit of the co-op. For me this game does not differentiate too much, and I am glad I only rented it. It really isnt worth a purchase unless you just want to shoot zombies over and over. Thats pretty much the only game mechanic. I still think the game is pretty good overall, but im nearly done with only after a few hours. Some of the achviements will take a while, and i just dont see myself playing the game for that length of time. 8/10

Legends Of Wrestlemania

I bought this game on pure nostalgia after watching some youtube videos on it. I played for a couple hours yesterday, and I must say the nostalgia factor and presentation of the game is tremendous. I havent watched wrestling in about 7 years or so, but this game has just taken me back to childhood wrestling. Despite the great presentation, the game is just kinda average. The gameplay is pretty simplified, and the crowd graphics look horrid. The wrestlers also do not look right, they look like figurines rather than people. There are a bunch of game modes to play but they dont last very long. 7.5/10

I will be brodcasting on justin.tv left for dead and legends of wrestlemania at around 3pm est. just look for toolzz360 if you want to watch might also play some sf4.....

So tomorrow I start my internship with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, AA Baseball Affliate to the Toronto Blue Jays. I'm a little nervous, but Im starting earlier than everyone else to get a little bit of a jump start. I will be doing various stuff at home games like taking tickets, and selling merchandise. It should go well. I have to live on campus for the summer, and I have a 300$ deposit on housing due for 2morrow, so that means I probally wont buy another game until the summer is over because money will be extremly tight this summer. I will be making a little bit, but it is not nearly enough. I have been playing a lot of street fighter as of late, and I am close to 2000 BP's a number I thought I would never acheive. My blanka has gotten very very very good, and I am winning 8 out of every 10 matches on average. I plan on playing street fighter and RE5 a lot since I wont be buying new games. I have a few things to sell and that will help a little too. I will hopwever try to keep my gamefly sub, but they have been so slow on getting games shipped. I should be getting left 4 dead sometime soon. thats about it. oh re5 versus is very sick I love it.

I wanted to blog yesterday, but I completly forgot. There has been a lot going on in the gaming front. So I beat call of duty in 2 days and its been a few days since ive beaten it. I also was able to get about 40% done the game on veteren, but it has gotten very hard, even harder than killzone 2. I see myself only playing a vetren mission here and there. The game was only a rental, but I must say that I will probally buy it. The multiplayer is completly sick. Not only is regular MP sick but the Nazi Zombie mode was a ton of fun with co-op. Game score 9.0

I also had the chance yesterday to have my first real session of Battlefield Bad Companies Multiplayer. I think it is good, definetly not as good as call of duty. It seems a little bland. I am a rank 7 out of 25. I will try to play it to the top rank, but It might get boring. The single player is much better than call of duties though so its a tradeoff. game score 9.0. I will probally end up trading in bad company and unreal tournament 3 for both cod4 and waw. They are about even points on goozex.

I also completed Resident Evil 5 for the second time, this time it was a solo run with the AI. The AI was very spotty at times but overall it wasnt too much of a burden. Me and my cousin will be starting another run this time on veteren and then pro. Right now Resident Evil is still in a dead tie with Killzone 2 for GOTY.

I am trying to get through Super Mario Galaxy, but the game has just gotten very boring and Im at star 40 out of 100. score downgraded to 8.5

For my youtube page I am in the process of uploading a complete playthrough of waw along with a couple hours of nazi zombies play. After that I am going to start a playthrough of Unreal Tournament III on insane, resident evil 4 pro mode will be filmed, a lot of street fighter matches, legends of wrestlemania playthrough, and a few bad company MP sessions and maybe even a walkthrough of that if I feel like going through the SP again.

New Games, I am still trying to get wheelman, eat lead, or wanted from gamefly but they are slow as hell. I bought legends of wrestlemania and am waiting for it to come in the mail. Ill end up selling it for sure when Im done. Next game I plan on buying at release is Punch out WII on May 18th.

Thats it thanks.

So today I went to my schools library, and in the games section they had Call of Duty World at War, so I decided to rent it and give it a shot. I have been recommened to check out the nazi zombie mode, so I have to beat the campaign first. After playing for two hours the campaign is pretty good. It was tough to figure out what was going on with the gameplay early on, as I didn't know who was ann enemy and who was a friendly. Its a little easier now. The controls do a fine job, and are what I am use to for an FPS. Im playing the game on normal and so far the only time I died was because of a gernade toss. I can't really comment on the graphics since i am not playign in hd (filming a complete playthrough for youtube), and I will play in hd for a second run through of the campaign. An early score would be about an 8.5. Its a little better than brothers In arms hells highway which I rated an 8.0. My youtube channel is really starting to grow, as Ive posted 50 videos and just recently put up a series of 18 grand theft auto IV Online Videos. Here is the link.
