Cool Video: “Resistance 3” trailer hits the internets along with gameplay footage!!!

I’m a big fan of first person shooter games. I love the Resistance series. The third installment, “Resistance 3” looks absolutely mind blowing. Notice how in the game, they use real actors instead of CGI animation for the cut scenes. I think this is the first game to use real actors to make it seem like a real movie, so this game has big potential to start a new revolution in video gaming. This game is gonna be huge. The gameplay looks like a fucking blast, and I can’t wait! Lots of great games coming out for 2011! I love the PS3. I got the PS3 for a reason. Sure, I could have gotten the Xbox or the Nintendo Wii, but I think those systems don’t have good choices for games. I think the PS3 is the best game console out now. I will always be a PS3 guy for life.

Speaking of first person shooters, I finally got my copy of “Call of Duty: Black Ops”. I know Christmas is just around the corner, but I couldn’t resist this game. I’ll start, “Black Ops” soon. The game I’m currently playing now is “Gran Turismo 5: Prologue” the old car racing game, ’cause I’m probably gonna get the new, “Gran Turismo 5” game sometime.

Enjoy this trailer. It’s badass.

I didn’t buy “Call of Duty: Black Ops” yet, but I want to soon…

So the new, “Call of Duty: Black Ops” game, just came out today. I didn’t pick it up yet. I probably will on my next paycheck. I was going to get, “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II”, but I’m going to wait on that game for the price to go down since the game is getting bad reviews. I’m a big “Call of Duty” fan, so I will probably get the new one. The new Call of Duty game, is all over the web today so that’s why I decided to post about it now. I love first person shooters. I’ve been looking at “Black Ops” and got sold to the game. Hope it’s just as good as “Modern Warfare 2”.

This would be the last thing I would buy for myself for a while though after this, ’cause Christmas shopping is around the corner.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed…brief review…

So I finished playing, “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed” for the Ps3. I know, I’m waaaaay late on this game, I should have bought it a long time ago, but I wanted to play this before, “The Force Unleashed II” comes out to catch up.

First of all, I’m not much of a Star Wars fan. I like Star Wars, I’ve always been into Star Trek more. When I played this game, “The Force Unleashed”, I was surprised on how great it was. The storyline was great, the game play was a blast, and the graphics were good. I had fun playing it. I wouldn’t call this the best Star Wars game yet, ’cause I’m sure there will be plenty more Star Wars games up ahead of us. This one was really awesome though. This game made me appreciate Star Wars a little more.

The reason I’m not much of a Star Wars fan ’cause the plot and the writing all seemed too simple to me. Much of it was kind of silly and whacky. I’m like, how does Lucas come up with whacky shit? The writing with Star Trek is more insightful and intelligent. I always felt that Star Wars was more action and entertainment, then storytelling.

“The Force Unleashed” game felt totally different than the movies. It’s hard to explain. I’m looking forward to the “Force Unleashed II” game, which I think comes out sometime next year?

I’m now playing the game, “Mafia II”, that game is really good too so far, I’ll talk about that game when I get done playing it.

BREAKING NEWS: Hail to the King, baby! Duke Nukem is coming back in 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3D Realms president, George Broussard, was the first to announce this huge breaking news on his official twitter page that “Duke Nukem: Forever” will finally be hitting all game consoles including the PC in 2011. This is the huge news story today that is spreading the world wide web very quickly.

I for one, am getting real excited for this game because, I am such a huge Duke Nukem fan. Used to play the original “Duke Nukem 3D” on the PC for hours when I was a young kid.

Yes, “Duke Nukem Forever” will stay true to it’s classic first person shooter. Fighting monsters, sexy women and all that stuff. Only difference is, better graphics and music of course. This is very exciting that Duke is returning. It’s about time too!

See more on the story here.

Game Review: Heavy Rain ****SPOILERS****

So I finished the game, “Heavy Rain” already. Well, sort of. Why, “sort of”? Because there are multiple endings to the game, not just one. People accused this game of being an interactive movie, but after playing the game, it is more than just an interactive movie. You play through the 4 characters, Madison Paige, Ethan Mars, Norman Jayden and Scott Shelby. Like I said before, it’s almost like a role playing game where you have to make careful decisions on things.

In this game, you have to watch out what you say through the characters. You also have a choice if you want any of the characters to survive or die. If one of the main characters dies, the ending of the game will be different. When I played the game, I let Norman Jayden die by mistake, I killed him off in the junk yard scene by accident…because during the scene, all these control buttons appear on the screen, making you do stuff so he can survive. Well I hit the wrong buttons more than enough times which is why I made him die ’cause the buttons came on the screen so quick. I let Scott, Madison, and Ethan survive though. You can even have a choice if you want Shaun Mars (Ethan’s son) to live or to die in the game.

The two most important people you want to stay alive is Ethan and Shaun of course, the rest of the characters you can either let die if you want so it can be a happy ending with Ethan and Shaun. If you let Ethan and Shaun die in the game, it won’t be a very happy ending. So yeah, there’s more than one ending to the game.

I won’t explain the endings…but I will say who the Origami serial killer is below with a spoiler warning. It didn’t surprise me who the killer was, I knew who it was since the beggining of the game, it was easy to figure out who it was.

The Origami killer is………………………

**********************************************************SPOILER***************************************

Scott Shelby, the private eye detective.

*****************************END SPOILER****************************************************************************

I’ll play the game again down the road, for a different ending, but not right now. I think I want to move on to a different game. I think I’ll start playing “Bayonetta” next tomorrow. Even though “Heavy Rain” was a very short game, I’m sure there will be a sequel. “Heavy Rain” was a brilliant game. It’s definitely one of my favorite games in my collection.

Thought: “Heavy Rain” is the most impressive game I’ve ever played, it’s absolutely amazing!!!

So after finishing “Bioshock 2”, I finally decided to start the game “Heavy Rain” next. Which I already started a few days ago, I played a lot of this game before work today. The game “Heavy Rain” got a lot of negative critique, but in my opinion, I think this is one of the best games I’ve ever played on the PS3 so far. People accused this game of being a boring interactive movie. I would have to agree and disagree both on that. While it is an interactive movie, it’s actually a game too. It’s almost like a role playing game. You have to make careful decisions in this game or bad things will happen ahead if you make the wrong decision.

In this game you don’t just play one character. You play 4 different characters throughout the game. You play, Ethan Mars, Madison Paige, FBI agent Norman Jayden, and Det. Scott Shelby. I like all the characters but I think that Norman Jayden guy is a badass character, and I think he deserves his own game as a spinoff. The game tells the story of an architect, Ethan Mars, who has a family, he learns about the Origami serial killer. The Origami serial killer is actually a child killer and of course, the game’s mission is to hunt down the killer.

You can play the characters while the movie is still going which is cool. The game has quite a bit of nudity too. The best part is that you can actually play Madison Paige naked while she’s taking a shower. The game shows the privates and everything. After playing this game for a while, it got me thinking, “No wonder so many want David Fincher to direct this live action movie, the game is pretty close to the movie, “Se7en”.

So far, I’m impressed with the game. Probably the best game in my collection. It should be a live action movie. I think David Fincher is a perfect choice of a director if they can get him for it…but who would play the characters in the live action version?

The Ethan Mars role, I think David Duchovny might be perfect for that character. What about Norman Jayden? When I looked at Norman in the game, he looked almost exactly like Mark Wahlberg, so Marky Mark would be my pick. For Madison Paige, a young actress would be better for her, in the picture above is Madison, so who does she reminds you of? She looks a little more like Jennifer Connelly or Famke Janssen. As for Scott Shelby, Robert Deniro might be good for him. So there’s my casting pick for the live action version.

The live action version is in the works, they just haven’t confirmed a director yet, so hopefully it will be Fincher.

I just started the game, so I don’t know who the Origami killer is yet, but I do have a feeling it’s one of those main 4 characters though. I think the gameplay is very cool, unique and different. You can actually play in a movie, that’s what’s so cool about it. Games haven’t done that before. Most importantly I just love the story ’cause I love serial killer fiction.

Report: Gore Verbinski says “Bioshock” movie is still in the works!!!

So we haven’t heard much news of Gore Verbinski’s “Bioshock” project lately? Well we finally here something! Gore says, the planned “Bioshock” live action movie is still happening. Guess what folks? Gore vows to make this movie a “hard R” rating. He doesn’t want this movie to be Pg-13. He wants the film R rated so the film can be edgy just like the game. He also says, he will make the film stay true to the game for the die hard gamers that love to play it.

Read more on what Gore have to say here:
http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/17662/-bioshock-movie-still-in-the-works

That’s very cool, the film is going to be R rated. There’s no nudity in the game, but there’s plenty of violence and blood. Plus the enemies you have to kill which are called Splicers are disgusting looking that won’t be for kids.

I’m a HUUUUUuuuugeeee fan of the Bioshock franchise. I think it’s the best first person shooter game ever made.

Speaking of “Bioshock”, I’m still playing “Bioshock 2” currently. I love these games ’cause they’re very hard and pretty challenging to play. I wonder if Gore plans on making the live action movie in 3-D as well? The City of Rapture is taken place underwater like Gore said, so there’ll be plenty of green screen and CGi when they make the film. One thing I worry, I hope they don’t make the Splicers enemies CGI, they should be human actors wearing makeup. Hopefully the Big Daddies won’t be CGI either.

Cool Video: IGN unveils “Dead Space 2” gameplay footage at E3 convention!

The IGN “E3” game convention is happening, and they’ve been revealing a lot of new upcoming games there. One that interested me, is “Dead Space 2”. The sequel to the 2008 sci fi/horror game about a man named Isaac Clarke stranded in a spaceship trying to survive from all these monsters. Gameplay footage finally hits the internets and the game looks pretty fucking sweet. I like a lot of video games out there, but nothing tops “Dead Space”. It’s one of my favorite games ever. The second one looks even better and can’t wait to get my hands on a copy. It is definitely a must buy no matter what.

Enjoy.
