I’m going to have to start “Dead Space” all over again!!!

Leave a comment

“Dead Space” is the most challenging and difficult game I’ve ever played. It’s probably the most hardest game to play of the year 2008. That’s the way video games should be, really hard, difficult and challenging.

There are 12 Chapters in the game, and so far, I’m all the way up to Chapter 3 in a mission called “Course Correction”. I’m trying to fight this mini boss, called the brute, which is a giant tentacle that comes up and grabs you, it pulls you down the hallway and you must kill it off to survive. With only 2 line racks of ammo left on the liner gun, it’s impossible to kill this thing so I must of missed something in this level to get more ammo, so I’m going to have to start this game over again today. I’ll just delete the saved game and start all over again.

I don’t mind though ’cause the game is fuckin’ awesome and it’s definitely the best game of the year.

“Dead Space” thoughts…

Leave a comment

So I’ve been playing the video game “Dead Space” for the last couple of days, been playing many hours of it. The game is addicting.

The plot/synopsis for “Dead Space” tells a story about a man named Isaac Clarke, he’s an engineer of a spaceship that he must repair to get it back to working order again. The only problem is, the spaceship has evil alien beings all over the place that Isaac must destroy in order to survive. The aliens are actually human people infected with virus like alien DNA.

My thougths on the game so far, is that I think this one might be my choice for “Game of the Year 2008”, don’t know yet.

The graphics are beautiful and amazing. It makes you feel like you’re in an actual spaceship. The sound of the game just sends chills down your spine. The game is actually kind of scary as hell and very creepy to play. It’s very dark. Probably one of the darkest games I’ve ever played. The game has a lot of blood and gore that is actually disgusting, so if you have a weak stomach, do NOT play this. This game is deifnitely something that your kids can’t be seeing.

The game is challenging, difficult and frustrating but I’m hanging in there and getting kind of far into the game already. This game is highly reccomended. I probably going to be playing this game most of the day today. It’s better playing this game alone with all the lights off, and I’m sure it would be even better playing the game on a flat screen plasma TV with a 5.1. surround sound system.

This game is fucking amazing!!! If you own a Ps3 or Xbox360, do yourself a favor and get it. It would make a great holiday gift too, if you plan on doing last minute Christmas shopping today.

Just beat “The Bourne Conspiracy” today!!!

Leave a comment

This afternoon I just beat the game “The Bourne Conspiracy”. It’s not the best game ever made. Still though, the game was fun to play and I loved the action. I wish the game could have been a little longer and the graphics could be better. “The Bourne Conspiracy” almost felt like a Ps2 game, not a Ps3 game. I still liked the Jason Bourne game though, and I hope they make the next Jason Bourne game a really good one.

What game do I pick for the best video game of the year?

I’m not sure yet. I haven’t really played a whole lot of videogames, because I just became addicted to video games again this year.

If I were to pick the best video game of the year 2008, it would probably be “Metal Gear Solid 4”. I find it a much better game than GTA-4 to be honest.

Report: Axl Rose planning on suing Guitar Hero franchise…accusing video game of using Guns N’ Roses songs without his permission…

Leave a comment

Axl Rose has threatened legal action against Dr. Pepper, and now he’s threatening legal action against the Guitar Hero franchise. What is he mad about at Guitar Hero? Axl claims that the game used “Sweet Child” and “Welcome to the Jungle” songs without his permission.

He says he’s okay and all good with Slash being involved with the game, Slash has been featured in the game “Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock”, but Axl is not okay with the franchise using his songs without asking him.

More on it here:

Remember, the copyright laws people. Don’t hate the musicians ’cause they want to sue over their music. It’s their music. If you own the copyright to something, you have the right to sue as you please. It’s all about protecting the artists work.

Axl is being protective over his music when it comes to Dr. Pepper, the Kevin Cogill “Democracy” blog leaker, and now Guitar Hero. Axl has every right to be doing what he wants to be doing. You may hate these musicians for threatening legal action, but hey, it’s their right, they have the right to do that.

I mean, if all this was happening to my songs and if people were stealing ’em and using ’em without my permission, I would threaten legal action too.

Cool Video: “Ghostbusters – The Video Game” trailer is here!!!

Leave a comment

Atari is releasing “Ghostbusters – The Video Game” and they already released the trailer!!! The game is coming out in June of 2009 for all video game systems. The trailer has the actual voice overs of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson.

Lets just hope that the game has a lot more action more than the storyline cut scenes. Lets also hope that the game will be difficult and challenging.

I’m so am looking forward to this game. I’m definitely picking it up for the PS3 when it comes out.

See the trailer here:

Thought: “The Bourne Conspiracy” rocks!!!!!

Leave a comment

I’ve been playing “The Bourne Conspiracy” the last couple of days and I’m already getting into it, being addicted and playing a lot of hours of the game. Getting pretty far in it, in the difficult level. The game has “action” throughout most of the game, with very little storyline segments in between. The game is great though. The action in “The Bourne Conspiracy” is great, it’s a mix of a first person shooter and a fighting game all in one. The Bourne game is just like the movie. Except Matt Damon doesn’t do the voice overs for the Jason Bourne character, some other guy does. Still a badass game though and so much fun to play. If you know anybody in your family or friends that has a Ps3 or Xbox360, I reccomend you get this game for them, it would make a great Holiday gift.

I’ve had my Ps3 for several months and so far, I’ve been impressed with the games I’ve bought with it. I’ll only buy a video game only if it has strong and positive reviews, and getting a huge buzz in the media. Video games are real expensive and I want to make sure that every video game I buy is a really good one.

If I buy a video game I don’t like, I’ll just trade it in at Babbages in the Wilton Mall, ’cause they buy and sell used games there. So far so good, I haven’t bought a video game I didn’t like.

Just about done with Metal Gear Solid 4…

Leave a comment

So last night when I was playing Metal Gear Solid 4, I finally beat the level “Outer Haven – Ship Bow”. The mission is, Snake is on a huge enemy ship. At the starting point, you have to reach toward the other side of the ship without being seen by enemies. It was tough for me to get to other side of the ship, it took me a long while to figure out how to do it without being caught by enemies. If you get caught or get seen by an enemy called a Frog, where it’s these women that dress up in sniper equipment, you’ve got to battle a bunch of them to survive.

That’s the point of the Metal Gear Solid series, you play a character name Snake and on the map, they give you a location where you need to go, and you need to get to that certain spot on the map without being caught by enemies. There are all kinds of different enemies throughout the game. And that’s what makes this game so addicting and fun.

I’ve got just a few more missions in the game to get through, then I have to fight the final boss, and then I’m done. It is a sick game though, I think I love it more than “Grand Theft Auto IV”. I should have Metal Gear Solid 4 beat next week or maybe even this weekend if I can.
