I can't wait!

So, i'm pretty much counting down the days till october. there are tons of good titles coming out, a very important one for me is Fallout 3. I can say enough how excited I am for this game. I've been keeping up on sites like http://www.prepareforthefuture.com/ and http://www.fallout.bethsoft.com/ not to mention Fallout 3 wiki.

I've been following this game since the very first teaser trailer released last year. Finally the time has come! Some 30 odd days to go!

Dead Space Releasing Early!

I was looking around and found out that Dead Space is actually going to be released a week earlier then when it was orignally supposed to be. Sweet! How often does that happen?!

So im excited, and hopefully the game will be as awsome as im wishing it to be.

Ive been following Dead Space for awhile, taking peeks at trailers, reading up on the previews, and so far its looking up to be a pretty good action thriller.

COME ON EA! PULL THROUGH!

REVIEW: Resistance 2 Beta

I was one of the limited people of the Playstation Network to be able to play this demo which is under the name of 'Girl With A Stick' on the XMB.

Those who were fans of the first Resistance will absolutely love this game. The graphics seemed a bit different but it definitely works with the updated look and feel of the environment. The gameplay is pretty similar to the first one, but I sometimes have trouble with sprinting because I find myself rapidly pressing L2(the sprint button) because I couldn't tell if I was sprinting or not. The sprint speed to me looks like it's about .5 faster than the regular speed.

The game is similar to its predecessor considering the make and look of the maps. For example, here's glitches that are easy to exploit in almost every map, just like the first Resistance.

The multiplayer mode, Cooperative, is what makes this game really fun. There are three classes you can choose between three classes: Soldier, Medic and Spec Ops. It is really essential for all these three to work together to advance in a level. The soldier's task is to lead the team and provide cover with his 'shield barrier' while heavily damaging the enemy. The medic's task is to keep everybody in his vicinity at full health while lightly damaging the enemy. Spec Ops task is to provide ammo to his team but has a sniper which is a usually a one-hit kill but has very limited ammo.

The other multiplayer mode, Competitive, is basically Free-For-All and TDM which is not much different from the first game. With the BETA, you're stuck with preset weapons classes and there's a few select maps which seem a little too dark sometimes but they're just as fun.

This game is for those who were fans of the first Resistance and those who are looking for a different, but fun shooter. To me, as fun as the BETA is, I don't think I'll be getting this game because I really doubt I'll be paying attention to this game with holiday season coming up soon with much more anticipated games than this one.

Verdict: 8.5/10

REVIEW: Home Beta

I was able to play Home Beta for the PS3 earlier today. At first, I found it pretty amusing, it's basically a world filled with advertisements of upcoming games. You can go to the movie theater to watch game trailers and such, you can go bowling, and chat with people.

Your house is whatever you want it to be, you can place furniture and decorations anywhere. I find it to be very similar to The Sims. After awhile of playing Home Beta, I found myself to be really bored. It's basically living a life through your PS3.

I find it only to be useful to chat with friends instead of the standard side-to-side screen chat. You can also launch a game straight from Home. What else is there...I can't really think of anything else that is useful or as interesting as that.

My final verdict is that Home is pointless, why would you need to escape into another boring world from ours? Isn't that somewhat part of the reason that we play videogames in the first place? So that we're in a virtual world different from ours to forget our little conflicts in life and let ourselves go in a virtual fantasy world where there are no boundaries? Maybe I'm wrong, but if your life seriously sucks and you have no friends, I guess Home would be the thing for you, to live a life within your life.
