I traded some old games in the other day to get some new games with Eb games having a sale on was perfect but a new game i wanted was Modnation Racers. So it was one of the games i picked up, i was on and off this game leading up to its date and thats why i never preordered it. So now that i have it and being sold on it after some reviews and video's and i just love this game i have been shifting between this games and RDR. but this game si so much fun from editing stuff i have been my stuff just making random stuff from cars and cart. career is good but not the best thing about this game. Its the racing making stuff the racing is so much fun and i am not the biggest fan of racing games or cart games but i really love it but online is great to only played some games online and it was really fun but the modspot where to start off and pick what you are going to do. the online is where its awesome where you download your mods and carts and the mods that have been made is awesome like from mario to spider-man to white power ranger and so many more all these thing have been made is awesome and some cool karts like from ghost busters and scooby doo van i just awesome. so much fun this game is im so glad i bought it.
Also i got Ratchet And Clank: Crack In Time and for this game i have only started it and played about 20 mins and its awesome gives you the sum up of tools of destruction and more of Qwark being a dick. Insomniac Games just make the best games and the intro reminds me of pixar movies there righting is that great, cant wait to play more dont know when that will be.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Released a new trailer and this is a movie im most excited for this year. So after seeing this new trailer im more sold on it and since then i have read the 5 books and excited for the 6th book but the trailer has everything i love about the books and trailer shows off more of the ex boyfriends and Ramona and shows off more fighting and some Wallce and Gideon i just can't wait for this movie and the 6th book so much to look forward and im a big fan of edgar wrights movies and other stuff. this has a great cast i wish this movie was just out now.
So E3 is coming up soon and i get really excited becuase i just want to know what games are coming out at the end of year and what games i will preordering. we know LBP 2, Killzone 3, Project Natal and move. then there will be games we havent heard about but there should be zelda for the wii if they have sense would love to see pokemon black and white. really hope i see more Fable 3 there also more metal gear solid and they are just some stuff i would like to see at E3 oh i need a firm date for GT5 and it better be at E3.
The next couple months some more good games come out finally Australia is getting Demons Souls which is just awesome also crackdown looks good i checked out the Giant Bomb look at it and even though i havent finished the first i will picking it up it just looks awesome. but a game i am really excited about is Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days i really liked the first even though people really hated and there was a firing over a review but i really think its an underrated game but this really has me excited the online modes looks awesome but i really liked the story from the first one and this story looks awesome. i really like the look of it with the filted look so i am really excited for this game. Dead rising 2 comes out soon as well but im not totally sold on this game since i hated the save system from the first game if it is different from that then i will be sold.
Bullet Points
Killzone 3 is coming out 2011 how awesome is that i loved the 2nd game can't wait till what they show at E3
Started lost season 1 i have watched a couple eps from this season when it first aired on tv.
R.I.P Dennis Hopper i really liked him as an actor he was crazy.
Thoughts: I have wanted to watch this movie for a while and it came out when all the twilight faze started anyway i wanted a really good vampire movie and heard about thirst which is directed by the guy who directed movies like Oldboy and other twisted movies.
This movie is twisted and adds a fresh take on the vampire lore before i watched this i heard it was fucked up and twisted so this is what wanted but i got more then that. The movie is about "Sang-hyun, a priest working for a hospital, selflessly volunteers for a secret vaccine development project intended to eradicate a deadly virus. However, the virus eventually takes over the priest. He nearly dies, but makes a miraculous recovery by an accidental transfusion of vampire blood. He realizes his sole reason for living: the pleasures of the flesh." This movie is twisted, fucked up it has a lot of sex and blood which is fine by me but the love story of this film is the most fucked up love story i have seen in a movie. I just loved this movie just want it brings to the vampire genre with its twisted and most fucked up shit in this film even the sex but with the 2nd act with him turning his girlfriend into a vampire it even gets more messed up this one hell of a movie and gets even bloodier after he turns her even though some scenes were confusing to me but the ending sealed my love for this movie a perfect ending for these 2 and this ending had to happen just an amazing film.
Thoughts: Red Dead Redemption is just Amazing i love this game, i have loved most games this years besides that game that starts with Final and this one i have had the most fun with. I have played a couple of hours in this game and im just loving the side missions and i just keep doing them instead of the main missions. But the single player is awesome it is GTA as a western i love riding the horses and find it better then driving the cars but i do miss the radio. great voice acting and crazy characters and loved the dules but this map is epic the size of this game is crazy. Graphics are great plus last night i had my first online game of Red Dead and it was awsome and this will be the only game i will be playing online i had so much fun. had some epic mataches its like a western MMO you can do so much online plus got into a posse, i did piss some people off in the game becuase i just kept hunting them down and killing them just so much fun :) i really like the story i just love everything even picking flowers/plants to bad your guy is married. Also games are fun and you get to read newspapers just so much fun and the choices but i love lasso things when you lasso your first horse it was awesome so much fun i try to lasso everything i just love this game right now the best game i have played this year this is what i want out of a game.
So Red Dead Redemption is due out this week i thought i would do my top 5 sandbox games and i can't wait for RDR i am really excited i have just been playing gta4 just waiting for this game im so excited waiting for.
My top 5 sandbox games
5. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - I love Grand Theft Auto Series and when San Andreas came it just opened this sandbox game to a whole state and added so much stuff you could have fun for months and months thats how big this game was.
4. Saints Row 2 - I never played the first game and dont know if i will ever go back to but the 2nd one awesome beacause it was just crazy like creating your characters and the crazy missions just a crazy game and it was so fun.
3. crackdown - when i first bought my 360 this was one of the first games i bought and it so fun this game that makes it the most fun is the shooting and jumping its just great fun, and i really liked the look of this game.
2. Infamous - putting the superhero genre in a sandbox game and its just amazing and its a dark game and i just loved people were living in this cripple town and you are either good or evil.
1. Grand theft Auto IV - This is my Favourite sandbox game and The best Grand Theft Auto in my mind, just everything they have added makes this just awesome and it may not be big as San Andreas this game feels like a city and the people are real and doing there own thing a game i just love.
Also Been reading the walking dead been getting back into this series i stopped reading this a couple years ago so i bought some more volumes and looking forward for the tv show but the books are so good and the best zombie story out there in any form.
Bullet Points
Well there is this new cool movie site Screened from ex people from gamespot and thanks to aaronmullan and here is my profile. i am really enjoying it.
This Week got a new internet plan so i am hoping i dont get capped every month now which i was getting sick of.
Also Bad news about my dog the vet found a Tumor in his eye so he had to loose his eye otherwise it would have went to his other eye and went blind it was very bad i havent seen him yet dont get him back till tomorrow, it just sucks for him.
Did you hear about the Battle Royalenews, This great movie that i love is going to be released back to the big screen in 3D this is just wrong because this was not filmed for 3D, this is just bad this is taking 3D to a bad place.
Im trying to buy less games and i am going to try and just buy 1 game a month im going try this new plan.
MAFIA 2 was not a game i was looking forward to but after hear people play it and the video's im really excited i want this game now and this is a person who never played the first one.
i know me and another person is on a mission to finish all these games we have so i have been doing that first Mass Effect 2 and now Bioshock 2. i started this game when i first got it but other games and stuff got in the way. So the last week i picked up the game where i left off and just got back into the groove.
Thoughts: This game is just amazing and i personally enjoyed it more then the first the controls and graphics were better but the first one had a better story where in this the story is average and was amazing in the first game. being a protype of a bigdaddy was awesome but hated them big sisters and i loved being in the water levels. I really thought this had a better ending fight then the first one which i wasnt a big a fan of. really good stuff i loved how ellona got a big sister suit and playing as a litter sister was sweet just some really great moments and what happened to you is just really interesting. some really great stuff in this game and in a new area of rapture which good dont know what they will do for the 3rd game but i still want to see what they do with another bioshock it will be interesting.
My Steam Account - insanegamer66So the other day i downloaded Steam for the mac which is great news i havent downloaded any games yet just deciding what ones to get thinking about getting the lucasarts pack up and civ is on there but might download portal since its free but i am in no hurry to do that since already played it. but yeah its cool that i can download games for steam now. add me if you have steam.
A Game i love is LittlebigPlanet just so amazing and what the people made with that game was amazing but not perfect but was hoping for the a 2nd game and after i heard sony bought Media Molecule i knew we would get one in 2011 and after hearing deatails coming out i new something would be shown at E3 then yesterday. the trailer which was awesome but the 2nd one comes out in 2010 i am so happy and this is the game im most excited for and hearing more about at E3. but the trailer shows what they have added and im just excited for so much. because i only used the creator a couple of times but i can tell i will be using it a lot in this one because the idea make a movie using sackboys or music video's really excited me. im really excited because i loved the first on and glad there doing a 2nd one plus all that stuff from the first one like created levels will be transfered to the 2nd game so im happy and the community isnt going anywhere. can't wait another game i will be buying this year. (trailer down below)
The good the bad the weird
i have been wanted to watch this movie for a while it just sounded awesome and it was just awesome because the director made one of my favourite movies A Bittersweet life and this was just awesome as that it had great comedy and the western in this film was awesome and now i want to RED DEAD REDEMPTION more. but the best thing about this movie or 2 best things are the 3 main characters are just mainly Bad because he is bad-ass. Also the shootouts rule and are just awesome just great the feel like they were from a big budget movie and has some gory scene and loved the ending as well the big duel just something that should be in a western loved if your a fan of westerns this is an awesome movie. - 9/10 I finished the 5th volume of Scott Pilgrim and after reading this series is up there with any book series i have read from walking of the dead which i love by the way. I really cant wait volume 6 im ready to preorder my copy and the 5th one leaves on volume 5. I just love everything about this series just from the writing, the drawing the geeky refernces and the relation between scott and Romona. just love it i love the fights between the evil ex boyfriends and they just great to read i could read them again and now i just want to read volume 6 now. can't to read it but volume 4 and 5 would be my favourite and the characters are just great and can't wait to see the movie this year.
Finally watched Avatar after finding it cheap on blu ray and first got to say it looks amazing on blu ray. first i gave this movie hard time before even seeing it because this movie totally got overhyped but after seeing its alright not the best movie ever or an oscar worthy movie. I really liked the CGI the best thing about the movie and i thought the human parts about this movie was out of placed but was an alright movie and it didnt bother me i didnt get to see it in 3D. but on blu ray really did look amazing and the CGI the best thing and the action are the 2 best things about the movie but not as bad i thought it would be but saying all still the most over hyped film from last year.
Bullet Points
Getting back into Sam & Max finished ep 3 the other day finding it awesome.
preordered RDR the other day can't wait for the game looks like the best western game in years.
went back to bioshck 2 because i really need to finish it
went back to crackdown because i really need to finish it.
been getting back into reading i go in and out of reading
Saw a picture from Let me In(remake of Let The right One in) the girl they picked as the vampire doesnt seem as creep as the original but i wont judge until there is a trailer
The other day i finished Mass Effect 2 Finally and i loved the hell out of this game. From the start of this game where your ship gets blown to hell. and you are dead until someone brings you back from the dead and to stop a new threat the collectors and what a epic adventure this game is. This game has redone the action gameplay and is way better then the first and which is why i love this game better and the dialouge choosing option is better as well. In mass effect 2 you will see new chaarcters and old characters you have seen from the first game. You start the game off fro choosing to start with a new character or just import your character from the first game and all choice you made in that game will come effect this game. The Choices in this game is something that i love making my sheppard evil and the added stuff of loyal missions to your crew. i love some of the side missions its just awesome. you have some mega battles like with the collector's. I really like the charcters in this game and you get to have sex with a character in the game like last time. so the characters the good and the bad even people in the story are amazing and make this game. Starting off with Miranda who has one of the best asses ever in a game also i end up with her by the end of the game at the start there was a lot of tension with me. she has a a hot voice i really like her she is one of the best females characters i have ever seen in a game. she is just a cool ass character. Commander Sheppard is just going down a evil path but making some good choices here and there my guy has red evil eyes and so looking forward to what happens in 3. i really didnt like Jack just to much of a botch for me. I love having Garrus back he is one i have my back and just a great character.just so many great characters in this game and you een get a geth in your crew just great.
The mission of the game is just epic the whole games leads up to this one big mission where you might not make it back. Just an epic final boss battle and what happen in this mission the choices you make is just insane. only 2 of my crew died but i made the people from the ship walk back but they never made it i just loved this missions it was one of the best missions i have ever played in a game. so many great stuff happens and killing them collector's is great stuff but hard also and the ending is just epic, it just had me with a big smile on my face and had a tease for the 3rd one which i can't wait for it.
Overall This game is epic, From the gameplay with them fixing from the first game like shooting action is so much better. Also the RPG is better but also better then Final Fantasy 13 i find this game much darker and has a better final ending battle which i loved. Every moment of this game i just loved it is an awesome game from the characters to the mission's. even the graphics on the 360 are amazing. working with cerbus. just everything about this game s amazing beside the mining stuff, thats a bit but i just loved this game.
Recommendation: Kingdom Of Heaven (Director's Cut)
First time i watched this movie last night directed by Ridley Scott he does amazing job. I just loved it from the cast which is great from Orlando Bloomwho does the best acting he has ever done an also probally will ever do. You have some great actors like Kevin Mckidd (ROME), Liam Neeson who is awesome in this and Eva Green who i like the more i see of her. also a little cameo from from Edward Norton (i also watched American History X he is awesome in that movie.) so many great actors with a big cast and that german dude was badd ass.
The movie is the times of the crusades, Balian of Ibelin travels to Jerusalem during the crusades of the 12th century, and there he finds himself as the defender of the city and its people. The director's cut is 3 hours long i thought i would get bored but i couldnt keep my eye's off it i just loved this movie with the awesome battle scenes that are gory as hell which i just loved and this movie is so well directed and you belive these characters and the romance between Bloom's and Green's character is belivable.
The ending and the last battle is awesome its a standoff to save his people and is just amazing this big fight is awesome. gory and a lot of people dye and the end is just great and has some great lines that pay homage to the start of the movie. i really didnt think i would like this movie thats why i held off seeing this movie but i would not watch the normal version because i loved the DC it was so awesome it is now one of my favourite movies now it was that good so if you into this kind of movie check out the DC version. - 10/10
