“Naughty Bear” the next controversial game?

Leave a comment

There have been several controversial games over the years in the video gaming world. Games such as “Wolfenstein 3-D”, “Grand Theft Auto IV”, “Resident Evil 5”, “Heavy Rain” and next here comes a game called, “Naughty Bear”. “Naughty Bear” seems to be the next game creating controversy online. Why is it controversial? Because the game is set like a children’s nursery rhyme, like in a children’s book. Instead, there is a teddy bear as you see in the picture above which who you play in the game, is a psychotic killer bear.

The game tells a story about a brown bear which is nicknamed, Naughty Bear, who is bullied by other bears on an island. Naughty Bear wasn’t invited to a birthday party, ’cause other bears thought he was too naughty. So the Naughty Bear turns into a murdering psychopath by murdering other bears. Does this mean we get to play this bear and kill other bears in the game? Yes, that’s the point of it.

According to the Best Buy website the game comes out, June 15th, available for the Xbox360/PS3. In a couple of weeks. I’ll probably get it.

Finally started “God of War III”…

Leave a comment

Well, after completing “God of War II” a few days ago, I finally started, “God of War III” yesterday. I have been playing a lot of GOW III and already getting pretty far in the game. I’ll tell you right now, that this game is pretty badass. SICK!!! I’ll give GOW III a brief review early. The graphics are ten times better than the first two. The camera angles has improved. You can do a lot more moves and have more weapons. The blood and gore is nastier than the first two. You’ll see Kratos dismembering bodyparts by tearing them off with his barehands. Well he does the same thing in the first two games but you don’t see it very well ‘caause of the camera angles. In GOW III, you can see enemies getting killed up close. It’s just an insane game. Great storyline too. Great characters. This game is such a blast.

“Heavy Rain” for the ps3, will this be the next big American video game???

Leave a comment

There’s this new game coming out soon for the PS3 ONLY called, “Heavy Rain”. It’s a dark erotic thriller. Yes, I said that…”erotic”. That means the game is possibly going to have a lot of sexual content throughout most of it. Get the clue with the animated woman character in the picture above from the game itself.

“Grand Theft Auto IV’ caught the world’s attention. I think “Heavy Rain” could top the GTA series. It’s getting a lot of huge attention in youtube.

I’m not sure if the game has nudity of female characters or not but if it does, that won’t be the only reason I would be getting it. The game looks interesting itself. I’m not even sure what the game is about. I don’t think anybody knows ’cause the makers of the game refuses to give out the plot ’cause I think the point of the game is that it’s your job to figure out the plot in your own way. Expect this game to be all over the media news in about a week or two when the game comes out.

This game hits stores Feb. 23rd in a few weeks, so I think this is another game I’m gonna pick up. I know, I’m a big video game nerd, it’s something I like to do when I’m relaxing from fitness and something I do when I come home from work.

Enjoy the clips below of the game.

Game Review: Demon’s Souls

Leave a comment

So after a couple of month’s of playing this fantasy role playing adventure game titled, “Demon’s Souls”, I finally beat the game today. I’m relieved ’cause this game took me a long time to finish. It was long and challenging.

The story is about you playing the hero, who’s mission to save the Nexus from evil demons that has taken over different worlds. The demon’s were started by a villain named King Allant XII. The King has awakened the Old One, which is a beast under the Nexus. You must destroy each demon in each world to help the people in the Nexus. The Nexus is like a home for the hero to choose which level to start in.

This game is absolutely amazing and insane. The graphics were just phenomenal and beautiful. The action and gameplay were a blast. Although, fighting against enemies can be difficult and frustrating at times, some of the bosses on the levels are easy. There were only like two or three bosses I had a tough time beating but with practice and skill, you’ll get it. The great thing about this game is, you don’t have to beat every level in order, you can choose which level you want to start in. There are all kinds of weapons and armor to choose from. You even use magic spells and miracles. All kinds of weird creatures and knights to fight against. You even have to survive from huge monsters and dragons.

You walk through castles, caves, valley’s, etc. Only thing though, you’ll die a lot. When you die, they make you start the level over again. That’s why this game took me a long time to beat. In order for you to beat an enemy successfully, you must get more strength, faith, dexterity, and other things you buy from the Nexus.

This is a Japanese video game made by Sony and they released it in the US for the Playstation 3 only. I think this is one of my top 5 favorite games in my collection. For you video gamers out there and if you own a PS3, I would recommend this. It’s an excellent game. I hope they make a sequel to this game and they probably will.

Now that I finished this game, I can finally move on to “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2” which I will start tomorrow.

Cool Video: “Batman: Arkham Asylum 2” trailer surfaces online…

Leave a comment

Well, the sequel to “Batman: Arkham  Asylum” is announced already and here is the trailer. The next Batman game will indeed be taken place in Gotham City, where it should have been. Of course, Mark Hammil still does the voice overs for the Joker which is good. Harley Quinn is back for the next one.

I hope we get to see the Riddler and Mr. Freeze, and actually fight them in the next game. In the first “Arkham Asylum” game, the Riddler and Mr. Freeze did not appear in the game, but they left clues representing them, which means they could possibly appear in the sequel.

I’m  happy there is a sequel to “Arkham Asylum”. It probably won’t come out ’til next year or so, but I’m glad there is one coming.

I hope the next game will be much longer and hopefully it will be more challenging.

Wolfenstein (2009)

Leave a comment

Earlier this evening, I finally finished the game, “Wolfenstein”, the new one that was just released earlier this year. I was pretty impressed with it. Most of the game was pretty easy but toward the end of the game got wicked hard. I played the game on the “Uber” mode, which means it’s a lot more challenging than the regular “Difficult” mode.

This game is actually a sequel to 2001’s, “Return to Castle Wolfenstein” that was released for the PC/CD-ROM only. As everyone knows, the Wolfenstein games were originally made for the PC years back. The classic “Wolfenstein 3D”, which was one of the very first, first person shooter games ever made which became a huge hit in the early 90’s.

The Wolfenstein games were very controversial, mainly because of its Nazi content. It’s where you play this character named B.J. Blazkowicz and walk around killing any Nazi in sight.

It’s the same with the newer “Wolfenstein” games, except the only thing is, there has been science fiction added to these stories. You fight more monsters in the newer “Wolfenstein” games and use more fictional weapons that are made up.

Back to the new “Wolfenstein” (2009) game, you still get to play the game’s main character, B.J. Blazkowicz. The plot to this game is that you must stop the Nazis from using the power of the Black Sun, so they can have these powers and become stronger. So you must team up with resistance fighters to work with Caroline Becker, to destroy the Nazis and the machine at the Black Sun.

The graphics to the game were good. Storyline was good. Action and gameplay was good, but they made a lot of it too easy for a Wolfenstein game. That’s my only complaint.

My favorite level of the entire game is when I go to the Nazi – Zeppelin blimp thing. That was way cool walking through the Zeppelin to kill Nazis on that thing. They did a good job with that level. The game had a cool ending, and yes I think they did leave open for another game.

The thing that impressed me the most out of the game, was the game’s musical score. This is some of the best musical scoring of a game I ever heard. I think it was the music that got me addicted to the game. The music was definitely Nazi like and kind of creepy.

I hope the video game industry would make a Nazi/World War II type of game that would be more realistic. They shouldn’t rip off Indiana Jones by mixing sci-fi with it. I think these games borrowed so much from “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, it was obvious.

It was a good game. It still could have been a little bit better but I had a fun time with it.

“Batman: Arkham Asylum” is the 2nd best game that I own in my collection…

Leave a comment

While I still say that “Bioshock” is the best game ever made, I would like to add that “Batman: Arkham Asylum” is the second best, close behind it. I’ve been playing a lot of, “Arkham Asylum”. The game is absolutely incredible. I’m so blown away and speechless by this game. Such a perfect Batman game.

The graphics are amazing, the sound is great, the voice work is also really good, especially Mark Hamill doing the voice over of the Joker which is awesome.

This is the most addicting game I’ve ever played as I’ve been playing it A LOT. When you see that this blog has slowed down a bit, it’s probably because switching back and forth to video games to fitness. Video games is something I do when I take a break and rest from working out.

In “Arkham Asylum”, is actually a very challenging and difficult game, I like it that way. I always play games in the hard/difficulty modes. I’m still getting pretty far in the game already though.

In my opinion, I think “Arkham Asylum” is definitely the best superhero game ever made. There are a lot of superhero games out there, but most of them suck. “Arkham Asylum”  tops them all. It takes a lot of practice to get the hang of the game and know what you’re doing.

I wish the video game industry would make a decent Superman game that is just as good as this, but most Superman video games suck too.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Batman my entire life and still am. In this game you would see a lot of familiar faces. All the popular Batman villains besides the Joker is in this. That includes, Scarecrow, Harley Quinn, etc. Btw, Harley Quinn is voiced by Arleen Sorkin as well. The Riddler does not appear in the game, however, he does leave riddles and stuff leading Batman to some clues.

This game is a must have for all Batman fanatics. If you love Batman and if you don’t have this game yet, what are you waiting for? Get it SOON! You won’t be dissapointed at all. The action and the gameplay is so amazing.

After I beat the game, hopefully soon, I will write more about it.

Thought: “Ghostbusters – The Video Game” brief review…

Leave a comment

So this morning, I finally beat, “Ghostbusters – The Video Game”. The game was really good. Not the best of the year though.

The graphics in the game was really good. Action was fun, story was fun. I was most impressed with the game’s home theater surround sound. The sound was incredible on the game.

Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd both wrote the script for the game, this game was originally supposed to be the script for “Ghostbusters 3”, but this plot got turned into a video game instead.

My only complaints is that the bosses at the end of each level were a bit too easy…but they make the ghost battles in the middle of the levels pretty challenging and very hard. I wish they made the bosses more difficult. I’m also dissapointed that there is no Louis Tully and Dana Barrett. I remember Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver both turned down the game, so I can understand why those two characters were written out of the script.

This game was fun and a blast to play, but wish it could have been better. It could have a better ending sequence too.

Will Atari make another “Ghostbusters” video game for a sequel? I’m sure there will be another one. Only thing though, since now the Ghostbusters are mostly focused on recruiting new Ghostbusters and since there is a “Ghostbusters 3” movie in the works, I imagine they’ll make another video game after “Ghostbusters 3” is made and released. In the next video game will probably have the 4 new recruits as the leading characters, not Peter, Egon, Ray and Winston.

Anyhow, in “Ghostbusters – The Video Game”, it stayed true to the first two films. It was similar to the first two films. It added it’s usual mix with comedy, horror, and ghost stories. Yes, this game was actually kind of creepy and scary in some parts, as a few parts made me jump a little bit.

The guy’s voicing the original Ghostbusters: Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd all did a great job.

This is a good game for all Ghostbusters fanatics and I would reccomend it!

In other video game news, now that I finished this game, I will start “Batman: Arkham Asylum” today. Yesterday at Best Buy, I picked up the game, “Demon’s Souls”, a dark fantasy action adventure role playing type of game, I won’t start that game yet though, I want to play “Batman: Arkham Asylum” next.

“WET” might be my next game purchase…

1 Comment

I’ve been looking at this game called “WET” online, it’s a third person action adventure game where you play a female character as seen on the cover boxart of this game above.

The game has Eliza Dushku doing the voice overs for, Rubi, the main character. She has three weapons, two pistols and a sword. Malcolm McDowell also does voice overs for a character in this game. This game is supposed to be sexy, gory, and action packed.

I’m reading some great reviews of this game, and so far haven’t really seen anyone said anything negative about it.

See a couple of gameplay footage of the game below. Looks like a blast. I’m thinking of picking this game up next time I go to Best Buy.

Thought: “Ghostbusters – The Video Game” is mind blowing!!

Leave a comment

So I’ve started playing, “Ghostbusters – The Video Game” the last couple of days and I’m already becoming hooked to it. The game is pretty amazing so far. The graphics are excellent. The sound is like really impressive on your home theater. The game is also surprisingly very challenging and difficult even if it’s being played in the “profesional” level and I thought the game would be too easy, but it’s not.

It’s great to hear the original voices of Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson doing the voice overs. Listening to those guys in the game, it sounds like they are having a blast playing those characters again and this game shows that they are having fun.

This game is really cool. “Ghostbusters the Video Game” is much like the first movie pretty much.

Thanks to Atari for giving it to us finally! This game rules!
