Crysis

After playing the demo and posting a screenshot in a earlier blog, I decided to buy the game instead and I must say, it's a worthy purchase. I read about what this game had to offer and so far I'm impressed of how you play this game, it may seem like any other shooter, but it sure is engaging and actually pretty lenghty for a FPS these days, which won't take much since most FPSs are under 8 hours in campaign anyways. Also, here's a pic of it on medium settings since I can only run it at those settings(needs a better AMD CPU) I'm obsessed with this game's amazing graphics that still looks great for a 2007 game.

Halo 3 ODST

I have heard good things about this game, then again it's a Halo game, expect good reviews on it. But the one thing that is putting me off this game is the PRICE. After reading about what it has and what it is, no way I'm paying $60 for this game. Instead, I'll just get it off amazon.com for $50 or less.

Ok, I'm going to tell you guys the truth: I never paid full price for a Halo game, ever. I get them cheap, I actually rented the 1st 2 games and got them cheap, then I got Halo 3 for like $30 brand new at Target doing one of their amazing deals. Never brought Halo Wars since it's a spin off, though that isn't bad, it's just not needed. So expect something from me next week about this game, hopefully.

Brutal Legend demo

It's finally here, and boy did I enjoy it. I liked the art direction, controls, gameplsy and humor in the demo. Yes, this game has humor in it, something that more games need. Even if you like or hate Jack Black, you can't hate how funny he is in certain scenes. It's a hack n slash game with vehicle sections and Guitar Hero like gameplay where you press certain buttons while playing the guitar. I must say it was fun slashing my enemies and using various moves and powers, though the demo could had been a little more difficult. I think this game is going to rock in October and will be getting it.

The next demos I'm doing are Forza 3 and Uncharted 2, yes, Uncharted 2 has a demo next week on Tuesday but it's multiplayer only from what I read, so stay tuned for that. If they let me play as Chloe, I'm going to enjoy it even more.

Rottentomatoes Top 100 Worst Movies from 2000-2009

Some movies are just so bad that critics need to not only bash them, but list them as well, here it is:

100-91

90-81

80-71

70-61

60-51

50-41

40-31

30-21

20-11

10-1

On that list I saw, own and don't own:

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever-Don't own

Alone in the Dark-Don't own

The Master of Disguise-Don't own

Epic Movie-Don't own

Disaster Movie-Don't own

Meet the Spartans-Don't own

Code Name: The Cleaner-Own it

House of the Dead-Don't own

My Baby's Daddy-Own it

BloodRayne-Don't own

In the Name of the King A Dungeon Seige Tale-Don't own

Yours, Mines and Ours-Own it

The Adventures of Pluto Nash-Own it

Date Movie-Own it

Johnson Family Vacation-Own it

Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector-Own it

Boat Trip-Don't own

Cheaper by the Dozen 2-Own it

Glitter-Own it

Something is wrong with me.

There you have it folks, all that time wasted on crappy movies.

Scoring a game low because it's too hard

Demon's Soul(PS3) has great reviews so far, ranging in the 9s, but it has a 6 from one review, and guess what the main complaint was: It's difficuty. Yes, the game was bashed for being too hard. To be fair, the same can be applied for a game for being too easy, but there are some great games that are too easy. What's your take on this, should a game being judged based off it's difficulty?

And I'm going to end this blog by 3 things:

1. I should create ideas for newer blogs when I make my next blog.

2. I shall show you a pic of my first friend on Gamespot Fiona_mac_92 as you remember me talking about her on my previous blog:

3. And if this pic doesn't want/get you to play with your Wii, I don't know what will, besides games:

crysis looks cool but too bad its out of my reach and 50$ or less from amazon is a better choice.

For a game that was released back in 2007, it's graphics hold up rather well by today's standards. Is it me, or does that screenshot look strikingly similar to Bad Company? Really sexy pic at the end!

Thanks for the info on the Uncharted Demo. Did you pre-order Brutal Legend then? If so, are you glad you did now?
Posted Sep 26, 2009 2:09 am PT
I already saw one part of the top 100 worst films, which is Alone in the Dark, but I didn't truly experience how bad that movie was, until Nostalgia Critic.
Posted Sep 26, 2009 2:13 am PT
Hehe i've been reluctant to try Brutal Legend but somehow, seeing you having tried it made me wanna give it a try myself so i'll download the demo tomorrow.
Posted Sep 26, 2009 2:40 am PT
I read that Rotten Tomatoes list. I was surprised to see I have watched a few movies out of that list.

I'm trying to hold on buying Halo 3 ODST. It seems like the developers focused more on multiplayer than anything else...again. I want to try out Brutal Legend to see what the press is blabbing about so much.
Posted Sep 26, 2009 4:45 am PT
I still scared to play the Brutal Legend demo .
Posted Sep 26, 2009 6:10 am PT
You really like owning bad movies huh? Did you know that several studies proved that 50% of all Wii owners are girls?
Posted Sep 26, 2009 6:38 am PT
OMG! How could you OWN that Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector movie?!!! My friend rented it and we couldn't even finish, lol! I haven't seen much of the others! And congrats on Crysis. I told you the game looked great on medium settings. My only issue is the nasty pop up.
Posted Sep 26, 2009 7:49 am PT
why does your "friend" in that picture appear to be naked? lol. I also am intrigued by brutal legend but I dont buy games full price much so will be a while before I get it.
Posted Sep 26, 2009 8:22 am PT
Crysis is an amazing game! I played it and was very blessed to have a computer at the time that would run it on full graphics! Enjoy!

As for the 100 worst films from 2000 - 2009... I am very happy to say I have never seen any of them!
Posted Sep 26, 2009 8:40 am PT
Glad you're enjoying Crysis. I would comment further, but I'm going to go play my Wii.
Posted Sep 26, 2009 9:30 am PT
Crusis was awesome i finished it today Burtal Legend was awesome ''Ill show you how to French Kiss'' XD ahh good times

I thought ODST was a really great game and worth the $60 (IMO). ODST had a great Campaign with a lot of stealth tactics (If you play it on Heroic or Legendary), i though ODST had one of the best campaigns since Halo CE (IMAO). Firefight was a really great gametype. If you like Horde from GeOW 2 (With no Matchmaking) then you'll love Firefight, especially playing with Friends or Family members on it. Then it comes with another Halo 3 disk (With no Campaign on it). It had all your Maps from Forge and stuff, It just added a few new maps in the game. Oh, if you don't have any of the Map packs from Halo 3 then go get this then, It'll have all the maps that you didn't buy so yeah.

You may not think this is worth $60 just because its an Expansion, but I think this was really worth the $60 IMO.

So, how bout that Wii, eh?
Posted Sep 26, 2009 2:34 pm PT
Crysis is a great game, and yea it still looks really great I love the way it looks.
Posted Sep 26, 2009 2:39 pm PT
Halo 3: ODST is a good game, but I have to agree with ya on the price. It's not that long of a game, and I feel like it should have been cheaper. Looking at that list just makes you realize how far movie cinema has sunk, these days it seems you can make anything into a movie, no matter how bad it is. I'm going to play some Wii now.
Posted Sep 26, 2009 7:13 pm PT
Brutal Legend has never really interested me but i will still play the demo for the hell of it. Crysis graphics still do look awesome for a two year old game. Also who was that girl with the wii in that last pic? shes hot!
Posted Sep 26, 2009 8:24 pm PT
I've only played Halo 3 and from what I can tell, ODST is just Halo3 reskinned, so you're smart to wait for a price drop.

I'm jealous that you get the Brutal Legend Demo. One of the only demos I actually want to play.

The Uncharted 2 Demo should let you play as Chloe. I was in the first beta, and played as her. But I prefer Elena.

You own a Larry the Cable guy movie? I think they should give Uwe Boll movies the top 25 spots. I'm not sure what Demon's Soul is but I'll check it out.
Posted Sep 26, 2009 9:32 pm PT
Too bad Crysis wasn't made for console, you need such a high-end PC just to run it properly. T_T

Hmm, they should've put Superbabies as Rank 1 of wost movies.

Games shouldn't be marked for difficulty, but they still do. And there's bias towards certain games as well, like Ninja Gaiden. That franchise has been notorious for being ridiculously hard since it's SNES (NES?) days. But it still gets great reviews. And, when I was reading articles about NG 2, it said that there was an 80% chance that you WON'T beat it. Did that stop it from getting a good score? Nope.

But I can bet you that if a game that hasn't made an impact on the industry was reviewed and had the same difficulty as Ninja Gaiden, it would be bashed to oblivion.
Posted Sep 27, 2009 4:52 am PT
woah ur computer can run crysis thats awesome also i checked out that movie list and ive seen only a few of them actually
Posted Sep 27, 2009 5:12 pm PT
Oh, and about your question on games being marked down for hardness. I feel it depends on how hard. If hard that it brings a reasonable challenge, there shouldn't be any complaints. But if hard enough that it causes frustration for a lot of people, there'll be markings.
Posted Sep 27, 2009 6:00 pm PT
Funny, I found that worst movies list by accident last week. I'm disappointed Black Christmas didn't make it on there, though. Terrible movie. Love the Wii pic.
