Fall-Winter 2008 Shopping List

Justin: This is my shopping list for the upcoming Fall/Winter. O dear god, all my money...

WarHammer Online: Age Of Reckoning (Release Date: Sept 16) PC
Left4Dead (Release Date: Nov 20) PC

Dead Space (Release Date: Oct 20) PS3
Bioshock (Release Date: Oct 21) PS3
LittleBigPlanet (Release Date: Oct 21) PS3
Fallout 3 (Release Date: Oct 28) PS3
Resistance 2 (Release Date: Nov 4) PS3
Tom Clancy's EndWar (Release Date: Nov 4) PS3
Mirror's Edge (Release Date: Nov 11) PS3

Ok, there maybe a very likely chance that ill be broke by the end of this year. But its all worth it considering the titles that are coming out. The biggest title I want to get this year is Left4Dead(expect to see an expectation blog on it very soon) which will hopefully be as awsome as it is predicted to be.

Some really Big titles missing from my shopping list maybe the cause of the shitty PC I have, and my lack of interest in other titles.

Im also not expecting all these titles to be released on time this year, almost everything is delayed close to release; no big suprise there. (Cries over Killzone2)

My Bill will come out close to some $500-$600 T_T

REVIEW: Star Wars Force Unleashed

I finally played the demo that was out for about a week now. I wouldn't say I'm satisfied but I wouldn't say I'm disappointed.

Right off the bat, my only complaint about the demo is that the 'force grip' took a little bit getting used to which I wasn't. There's even a tutorial to help you get used to it but I felt it wasn't enough. I still played through the demo hoping I'd finally get the hang of it, but I still didn't. Although it was fun throwing objects and lifeless bodies of stormtroopers around, it was still a little hard to aim for a direction you wanted it to go in.

There's a force meter which limits to how much 'force' you can use at one point, but thankfully it only takes about 3-5 seconds for it to be back to normal.

The gameplay is fairly easy and takes a bit getting used to. I found myself abusing unleashing the force (see what I did there?) too much to where I want to smash objects with each other to the point where I got kind of bored.

I'm a big Star Wars fan, and I'm most likely going to get this game when it comes out but I feel it might be a waste because there's a crapload of good games coming out in the third quarter of the year and I want to be able to play all of them without going broke.

Hotpocket: Gamer fuel

Justin: FAIL of the week

Theres nothing that screams DOUCHE BAG more then a bluetooth.

....do i even need a caption?

Think about it, dont only think, take a look around. see anyone talking to themselves? Yup, nothing like making yourself look like a retard. Its even better when you make an ass out of yourself thinking they're talking to you untill you identify the hidden bluetooth.

Im not saying the bluetooth is a bad piece of equipment, far from it. its an awsome hands free device...just why, why must I look like a Douche bag wearing it?

PS3: The Last Guy DEMO/ Starwars: The Force Unleashed DEMO

So I downloaded The last guy demo off of the the PlaystationStore and i must say that i am suprised at how awsome the game concept is. basically your a little guy in a city that runs around houses and buildings while people flock to you (imagen snake and pac-man combined). you dodge zombies in the street while gathering civilians and leading them to an extraction zone or safe zone. the longer line of civilians you've gathered the higher score it'll be when you drop them off.

I've played through the demo andthe controls are fairly easy. You use the left analog stick to move around "the last guy" and the right to control the camera. The Circle button is to group your line of civilians (if they're to spread out or in to long of a line). The Triangle button is to give your guy a quick speed boost to make you and your civilians run faster. The X button gives you a sort of thermal vision that lets you see where densely packed civilans are inside buildings. The downside of using it is while you hold the X button to pinpoint civilians it makes zombies invisible so its better to use just to quickly identify which building to run too.

Im looking forwards to buying this game Aug. 28 for $9.99
