“Bioshock” is one of my absolute favorite video games ever made. The game is hands down amazing.

I hope this guy makes the live action movie a great one and hope he doesn’t fuck it up. He better make the movie more like the video game.

To those who never saw or heard of the video game before, a couple of gameplay clips below.

The New PS3 Slim is crap…the original PS3 is better…

There’s a new PS3 design that’s just been released, it’s called the PS3 Slim. The point of the new design is that it’s smaller and it looks different.

The prices of the original PS3 dropped down to $399.

The PS3 Slim is still the same game console, just a new design, that’s all.

I would keep the original design that I got now.

Yep, I think I’m completely sold to “Guitar Hero 5”. I think I will get it definitely now they added Johnny Cash as a character, badass.

They next need to add Dave Mustaine as a character for the game when he does “Sweating Bullets” in it, and they’re all set.

I’m a big Van Halen fan, but don’t know if I’ll get this one or not. I’ll think about it.

Guitar Hero 5 tracklisting announced…

Activision unleashed the tracklisting for the upcoming, “Guitar Hero 5”. The game features Shirley Manson as a character as she will be singing, “Only Happy When It Rains”, the Garbage hit for the game.

I’m impressed they included Megadeth’s “Sweating Bullets”. I also liked how they put one of my favorite songs of all time Rammstein’s “Du Hast”. Dire Straits, “Sultans of Swing” and Johnny Cash’s, “Ring of Fire”? Elton John even makes his Guitar Hero debut, this is the first time the Rocket Man has been in a Guitar Hero game.

See the list here:

I’m probably going to get this one.

I never played the “World of Warcraft” games before.

I expect Bruce Campbell to get some type of role in, “World of Warcraft” movie…maybe a cameo or a co-starring role?

2. God Of War III

(The new installment to the Greek mythology series with Kratos and a new adventure, this game hits video game stores December 31st, on New Year’s Eve, actually)

3. Wolfenstein

Not sure when this game comes out, but it’s supposed to be out in the Fall of this year. This game is supposed to have never ending sandbox gameplay like Grand Theft Auto, looking forward to this one…)

“Call of Juarez: Bound In Blood”…

So I went to Best Buy yesterday afternoon on 4th of July, and I did end up buying the game “Call of Juarez: Bound In Blood”, the cowboy Western first person shooter game for the PS3. Yes, I decided to play a couple of hours of it last night.

The game is pretty fun so far, I like it. Not the best graphics, but it is a good game.

I didn’t beat “Resident Evil 5” yet, it’s just I’m stuck on this one level where I’m trying to get past this boss that I can’t beat. So I got bored and put a different game on, so I played, “Call of Juarez” instead.

I didn’t play “Ghostbusters: The Video Game” yet.

So many games, so little time.

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is out in stores now!!!

The Wild West first person shooter video game, “Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood” is out in stores now.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9302694&type=product&id=1218081088591

This is another video game I am interested in buying, but I won’t buy it right away. Maybe later on this summer.

I still need to beat “Resident Evil 5”, and then play “Ghostbusters” after.

The “Call of Juarez” game looks fuckin’ sweet, though! I also can’t wait for “Batman: Arkham Asylum” game to come out.

Michael Jackson not only made music, and made some movies…he also did a video game for the “Moonwalker” film…

Jacko didn’t do much for the video game industry, he only had one video game on his own. A video game based on one of his movies, “Moonwalker”, which he starred the leading role in.

See the game footage below.

Somehow, I am predicting that the video game industry today will make another new video game for MJ for the PS3/Xbox/Nintendo Wii. Not a Guitar Hero game for MJ, maybe a “Dance Moves” video game for him? You know, have a dance pad controller for the floor and you can dance along with MJ with his music. They’re probably gonna go for that idea.
