Hey what's up all? Don't remember me? Sorry, I haven't had any time to really do anything. School started not that much homework though, just more being with friends and such. Sooooo the only game I've gotten since my last blog is Scribblenauts... and it's amazing! not to mention the kick ass hat that comes with it! I've only gotten through the first two worlds but it's definitely fun! There's nothing like wearing a silly hat, holding a sword while riding on a Pterodactyl with a crown on.

Taking a step away form games for a second, I saw "9" last night... and I wasn't blown away. Not Tim Burton's best especially since he made on of my favorite movies

Though that's not to say that the concept of 9 wasn't good. It was pretty cool, but they just didn't explain enough. What it's about isbasically machines are turning on humans and pretty much everyone is dead. Simple but they don't really tell you that till half way through. If they had started with how this war started and why this dude made these little sack guys and then went on with the movie they could have made it a lot better and longer. Leading me to my last point, this movie is only about an hour and fifteen minutes and they really could have added to it. So all-in-all just an okay movie with some creepy images and good concept. Probably should have seen District 9 but it was still fun being at the movie with my friends.

Well, I played the Bioshock demo, and it was another let down. It was fun but short and there was so much they could have showed you that they didn't. I loved the atmosphere, it was creepy at all the right times and at other times they just wanted to show the sheer scale of Rapture. I really wanted to do a Big Daddy fight or something like that but I guess the demos are free so you shouldn't expect every bit of the game to be shown in it. thought the cinematic after the demo did make up for the rest.

Last order of business, I'm working on a new Banner and Avatar for myself. My current one is getting stale I guess so to freshen things up I'm gonna change it. Here is the avatar.

Deadpool, yeah!

The banner's not done and it won't fit so I guess you'll just have to wait.

So tell me what you think. See ya next time!

Hello all, first I just want to hit a quick thing. I'm back at school so expect fewer blogs, I'll try to do one or two a week. Just thought I'd say that.

Okay! Well I've been playing a lot of demos lately and been having fun. Right now I have the Wet demo up and the Bioshock one thatI have yet to play and Mini Ninjas is still coming. So I guess I'll just be talking about the Wet demo. It's being done by Bethesda which is really weird because the only things they've really done is Oblivion and Fallout both RPG's. Whereas Wet here is a shooter, a surprisingly fun shooter. So you play as Rubi... that's it, nothing else explained. Chasing Simmons, some due with a case you want... and he sorta looks like a chimp. So that's how it starts, you're Rubi, you have two pistols with a never-ending supply of bullets, a sword, and a bunch of Asian dudes on your ass that need killing. Oh, and to top it all off you can slow down time whenever you jump, slide, or wall run. The demo showed off 4major parts of the game, regular combat and acrobatics. Arena combat where you have to kill spawn points with tons of enemies. Ruby vision where cool music plays, the screen is basically all red, people bleed what looks like whitemilk, and you get full auto weapons.Then the last is the quick time event segments, or as Yahtzee one of my favorite game reviewers would call it, "Press X to not die". But this one is unique, It's not some 10 second thing the randomly throw at you, it's a mini level in it self. The one in the demo is you jumping from car to car but also taking out enemies too, and it just makes the QTE parts more fun. After that it just ends, so did I like it? Yeah! loved it and I really want to see Bethesda not just make it a shoot-em-up but a shoot-em-up with a story. Will I get this the day it comes out? No, right now it seems great, but not enough to get it the day it comes out. Besides, then that's be two games in one day! Scribblenauts is on the 15th too. Also I'm broke, so yeah...

Wow that was a lot of writing there.

Okay now for the PS3 Software update... sorta lame. They gave the friends thing an ugly grey box... thinnnng... and now the background is all purple and sparkling. So i immediately changed it to the Batman AA theme (FTW!) Then the last thing the added was pointless things that give you shortcuts into certain parts of PSN. The only really useful thing added was the "What's new thing tells you about any new DLC for games you have. Yeah, fail...

Last thing, keep sending me your PSN's, always love a good CoD4 match, Fat Princess, or some TF2!

I'll probably talk about Mini Ninjas and Bioshock next! Hurray for the New and the Old! And in the mean time here's a pic of Rubi, just for fun.

Well yeah... i couldn't think of any clever title for this blog. Sorry all you out there with clever title fetishes... and stuff. Well first i just want to talk about Batman Arkham Asylum. I'm having a lot of fun with this game, I'm only about 3% or 4% in the game but I've gotten a good taste of all the games features. I love doing the Riddler challenges and they all vary in difficulty and how you solve them which adds to the fun of the game. The only thing that i don't like is the camera placement, it could have been a bit higher but it works well enough. And just as a side note it has a very Metroid Prime feel from the upgrades, detective mode (scan visor), and mix of combat and puzzles.So all in all I like it so far, I'll post a first impressions later.

Now for a short rant to game developers trying to just cash in on the Wii. Thiswas sparked by the announcement a few weeks ago of Call Of Duty 4 coming to the Wii.Game devs are just trying to make a quick buck off the Wii without even thinking about fans. With CoD4 their just going after all the gamers out there wish they could have been one of those to get the game when it firstcame out. Now that it's been announced they're all rejoicing when really it's a big slap in the face, getting a 2 year old stripped-down port with crappy (at best) graphics. And even if you ignore the brand name and it were just called "Super Shooty Killer Guy Extreme" it'd sell great because it's a shooter alone. Rant over, yay!

Almost completed inFamous, noto the lst district. Not much else, till next time!
