Metal Gear Solid 4

Since this game has been getting great reviews online, I decided to buy this today. Haven’t played it yet and don’t think I will today. I still want to try playing Grand Theft Auto IV online still.

As far as getting the stuff like the ethernet network cable for the PS3, I don’t need to bother. Why? Because the ethernet is nothing more of the same internet cable. I have a wireless modem hooked up to my computer, so I will use that for my PS3 for playing online with. Because the Ps3 is very close to being like a real computer, that’s what the PS3 is, a computer and a blueray player both at the same time, that’s why the graphics are so high tech and impressive. I know the wireless modem is going to work the PS3 because it’s pretty much the same thing. I plan on giving this a try and it’ll probably work. Playing games online for the PS3 is the same thing as using the internet on the computer.

I’m glad I’ve thought of this today before I bought the stuff at the mall ’cause that would have been a waste of money. I’ll start playing Metal Gear Solid 4 soon, I want to try playing GTA 4 online first.

Report: New UFC game coming for the PS3/X-box 360…

THQ videogame company has announced they will release a new UFC game titled “UFC – Undisputed” set for release in Spring of 2009. This will be the second UFC videogame. There is already a UFC game but most gamers said the first UFC game was crap. Expect this one to be ten times much better!!! The game will probably include all of today’s UFC stars from Tito Ortiz to the Iceman Chuck Liddell.

Click here for review and trailer of the game:

The game actually looks pretty sweet. I’m probably gonna get it although I’m not much of a UFC fan.

Hopefully this one is much more fun to play than the WWE videogames.

My next two game purchases will be…

I’ve been keeping a close eye on these two games, and I will probably get these two games next. Not both at the same time since Ps3 games are pretty pricey, I will only get one game at a time. I know I have other games to play still, but I am aiming to collect as much PS3 games as possible.

So far, I only have 5 PS3 games and I only beat one of them which is Grand Theft Auto IV. Right now, I’ve just started playing a first person shooting game called “F.E.A.R.” for the PS3.

Yep, the Jason Bourne game I would probably get next ’cause it’s out in stores now, and I will probably get “Metal Gear Solid 4” down the road. I get the entire next week off from work so I’ll finally be able to go to the malls, to shop around or catch a movie or whatever. While i”m at the videogame store at Best Buy, I’ll probably get the stuff I need to play games online too.

I’m loving my Ps3 system and I’ve became addicted to this thing ever since I got it. I think the Playstation is the best videogame system out there by far. I think Nintendo and Xbox are both a little overrated, and both of those systems don’t have the best selection of games. I love the Playstation more ’cause they have more action/adventure games that I like that you can’t get on other systems. The Playstation kicks ass.

Somewhere in the future I’ll probably wind up buying a Playstation 2 system just for the older Grand Theft Auto games that you can’t get on PS3.

Thought: About playing PS3 games online…

Today I was just trying to sign up for the Playstation 3 internet network so I can play games online with other people. It appears I need an ethernet cable to hook it up with. Of course, it isn’t included in the PS3 system, you have to go to a videogame store and buy one from there. I got paid from my job this week, so I will buy an ethernet cable soon. Instead of going for a cable, I’ll probably get some type wireless system so I don’t have to worry about cables. I really want to play games online for the PS3 with other people, I’m sure it will be more fun that way.

Just beat Grand Theft Auto IV today!!!!

This morning I beat the game Grand Theft Auto IV. I never realized I was on the last mission, when I beat the mission the credits started rolling so I must of beaten the game. I won’t tell anything about it ’cause the ending does have a surprise ending.

I did pretty good in the game. Looking at my stats I was only busted 5 times and died 47 times.

While the game is amazing and a lot of fun to play, I wish it was a lot more difficult and challenging. The game is pretty easy as a matter of fact. You just got to know what you’re doing and paying attention. There were a few difficult missions that I had trouble getting by but with practice you’ll get through it.

The only thing I’m dissapointed in the game is, that there is not a lot of helicopter flying. There are only two helicopter flying missions in the game, that is it.

But other than that, the game was a blast. It was a great ride, I loved the storyline to the game and the acting of the voiceovers was fantastic as well. It felt like you were in a movie or a drama TV show or something.

I can’t wait for Grand Theft Auto V now, hopefully they make the next one even better. In the next Grand Theft Auto game, they should bring the Niko Belic character back since that character is so succesful and the most well known video game characters ever created. They should keep the Niko Belic story going in the next Grand Theft Auto installment.

It feels great to finally beat the game. I won’t move on to a different game yet, tonight, I want to try playing GTA IV online against other people, there’s a death match in GTA IV where you can play online. I’ll be looking into it.

 EDIT TO ADD: I forgot to mention that I only beat the “deal” part of the game. I’m gonna try beating the “revenge” part of it.

 

Report: Son of Mario Puzo sues Paramount over videogame…

Mario Puzo’s son Anthony Puzo has filed a lawsuit against Paramount Pictures, claiming the company failed to pay a share for Puzo’s estate from the game’s Royaltie’s. A “Godfather: The Game” was made in 2006 by EA, the game pictured above, it was based on the same story and same characters from the film. Anthony Puzo is not suing the company that made the game EA, he is suing Paramount.

7 years earlier before Mario Puzo died in 1999, Puzo and Paramount agreed to come to a deal that Puzo would receive a share from any audio or visual products made by the “Godfather” series. Anthony is sticking by his father’s wishes because this is what Mario Puzo would have wanted.

I expect Paramount to speak out about this soon, they’ll probably defend themselves so this lawsuit will get dismissed.

Report: “Gears of War” live action movie on it’s way to the big screen, director found…

Film director Len Wiseman is confirmed to bring the very popular first person shooting game “Gears of War” to the big screen. He is also the director of “Live Free or Die Hard” (or Die Hard 4).

The story to “Gears of War” film revolves around a world being invaded by aliens, and a group of soldiers are set out to fight them off just like in the videogame.

The game “Gears of War” is only available for Xbox360, I don’t think it’s out for the Playstation 3 but I hope so soon because I’m dying to play the game myself.

Most movies adapted from videogames are pure crap, but I hope this will be a good one.

Thought: 5 movies that need to be made into videogames…

With all these movies turning into videogames like “Iron Man”, “The Incredible Hulk”, “Prince Caspian”, etc. I thought I would name my choices that need to be made into videogames.

Rambo – Yep, the new Rambo movie needs to get made into a videogame. “Rocky Balboa” got made into a videogame for the PS2 but there’s not yet a videogame made for Rambo 4 for the PS3/Xbox 360. I really think they should make one. I don’t want it just to be a first person shooting game, there’s too many of those games. I would make the new Rambo game an action adventure type, a storyline type of videogame where you have to rescue Rambo’s medical team from the Burmese army. Make a Grand Theft Auto style type of game. It would be a great videogame if done right. And of course, Sly doing the voiceovers for Rambo in the videogame too would also be sweet.

Dirty Harry – We need a Dirty Harry videogame, I think it will make a sweet videogame, make it based on all the Dirty Harry films.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon – Imagine how this Ang Lee’s martial arts flick would make a kick ass action/adventure fighting game, this game would work if it gets made. This would be a lot of fun to play.

Kill Bill – The Quentin Tarantino action flick starring Uma Thurman, would make a sweet videogame if we can play this character Uma plays.

The Oceans Eleven series – The movies based on the Rat Pack robbing casinos would make a great challenging and fun game to play if made right. Imagine how cool it would be to figure your way into the casino where the money vault is, then you have to make your way out without getting caught. I think it would make quite a game and would be cool.

Hope you enjoy the list. I might come up with more if I can.
