“Dead Space” maybe my next game purchase for the PS3…

This game is a mix of horror/action/sci fi. It’s also a mix of a first person shooter and a regular adventure game with a storyline into it. There are other games I want to get for the Ps3 but once I saw the trailer for this game, I’ve been sold to this one.

I still haven’t beaten “Metal Gear Solid 4” yet, I just finally beat the first boss of that game, the Laughing Octopus, it was challenging and difficult boss to beat, but I took time and patience to figure out how to get past that Laughing Octopus character. “Metal Gear Solid 4” is a sweet game although I wish the game wasn’t so long with the storyline segments, that’s my only complaint.

I just hope “Dead Space” has more action than storyline.

While I do love to play a variety of genres in video games, I mostly like to play action adventure type of stuff. I do enjoy first person shooter vidoe games, I do enjoy sports games sometimes, I love any kind of car racing videogame like “Need For Speed” or “Midnight Club” or whatever. I enjoy fighting games such as Soul Calibur, Smackdown Vs. Raw, etc.

I enjoy action/adventure games the most because I do like the storytelling in some of them games, the action is a lot of fun and most importantly action/adventure games can get you thinking, when you’re walking around places trying to figure out clues and puzzles and stuff like that, it gets you thinking and learning. Action/adventure video games can be insightful.

If I had the skills, I could go to college to learn animation for video games, that would be a cool career for me to have, work for the video gaming industry. I’m a storyteller in fiction, and I could come up with a lot of great story ideas for original video games.

Report: Zack Snyder signs deal to make three video games with EA…

Zack Snyder who is the director of films such as “300” and the upcoming “Watchmen” (if it gets released and not canned by Fox, that is) has signed a deal to make 3 original video games with Electronic Arts. EA inspired to work with Snyder by the success of “300”, since the film’s audience is mostly young men in their 20’s and 30’s who also buys the most video games, EA thinks that Snyder would make really good video games being that “300” movie is almost video game like.

Remember now, Snyder is signed to do three “original” video games, meaning he won’t be doing sequels of other video games or no video games adapted from movies. Totally original.

Looking forward to what Snyder is going to come up with, he’ll come up with really good stuff for the video games.

Metal Gear Solid 4

So I’ve finally started playing the video game “Metal Gear Solid 4” for the Ps3 for the past 4 or 5 days. The game is absolutely amazing. Great graphics and it almost feels like a movie. I’m playing this game in the “Solid: Normal” level so I can learn how to do the controls and get the hang of things first before I play the difficult mode. Once I beat the game in the “Normal” mode, then I’ll play the game over again by trying to beat the “difficult” mode. The game is killer though. Great action, good story. I’m already getting kind of far in the game. Even in the “normal” mode, the game is still pretty challenging and difficult.

I’ve been saving up money for a new TV so my video games can look better. I’m going for a 37 inch flat screen plasma TV with High Definition. I don’t need a big 50 inch flat screen, 37 is big enough for me. Best Buy has great prices on flat screen plasmas, when I come up with the cash soon, I’ll go for the 37 inch flat screen TV then.

I don’t watch a lot of cable TV (only a few shows), I’m just getting a new TV soon so my video games can look better and to watch movies on of course. I just want a better look and better sound for video gaming. Video games looks and sounds fine on a regular TV, but I want something even better. Get into the gaming experience!

Report: Activision denied Brett Ratner’s permission to make “Guitar Hero” live action film…

Since film maker Brett Ratner has expressed his interest in making a live action “Guitar Hero” film adapted from the hit video game, Ratner himself asked Activision if he could make a film on it. Well, Activision says NO!

Although Activision didn’t give Ratner permission to make the film, he isn’t giving up and he’s going to continue to pursue it.

Way to go Activision! Yeah!

I don’t want Hollywood making a Guitar Hero movie at all no matter who’s directing it. It would kill the sales of the video games and hurt the music industry themselves.

Activision did a smart move here!

Sources in the video game world are saying people are getting sick and passing out from playing the final boss at the end of “Final Fantasy XI”. The main boss is a character named the Pandemomium Warden which takes 18 hours straight to beat the last boss of the game. Gamers are calling this main boss fight the most physical, challenging, and the longest boss fight in video game history.

Oh my, I’ve heard of Final Fantasy, I’ve never played one of those games in my life. But after hearing this, makes me want to buy Final Fantasy XI for the PS3. The Final Fantasy game franchise is extremely popular though, that’s why the sequels keep going.

According to sources, the band Guns N’ Roses is set to release a new song from their long awaited album “Chinese Democracy” for the upcoming “Rock Band 2” video game set to release this coming September. It appears that Axl Rose himself is a huge fan of the first “Rock Band” video game and he plays it himself. Yep, you heard that right, they will release a song from “Chinese Democracy” even if the album isn’t out yet.

It’s “Rock Band” vs. “Guitar Hero” at war competing with each other and that’s what this is all about. Music video games are becoming a hit and more mainstream in the music business, Axl feels this will be good marketing for “Chinese Democracy”.
