Motha F’n yeah… Picked up Afro Samurai for the PS3 today.

Right out of the box.. the instruction book if nice and full of swearing. Pop the disc in, and you’re getting the movie, that you can play with… lots of cussing, tons of blood and a really nice texture applied to the models to give it that hand drawn look. However, they most of been in a rush to release the game, as there was alot of geometry going through others. The lack of a health bar is also a bit annoying, but the real frustration in the game is the lack of direction in where to go. So you just motha f’n sliced the motha f’n ninjas to shreds and you get a cut scene… ok… uhm… where is that? Spend 10 minutes looking around… can’t find it… grrr

Meh… I’m sure I’ll find my way to the Number 1 sooner of later :fighterf:

Cool thing too, is Afro Samurai Resurection comes out this Tuesday on BluRay :fighterm:

So, afteryears of waiting it’s finally here. Was it worth the wait? So far, yes.

The graphics are amazing, vibrant colours, great textures and phenominal models. Even thought the graphics are vastly improved from the first one, you can still make out areas, buildings and such from the first game.

The music… well, it’s a fantasy RPG, and I’ve yet to find one with a good score, it’s cheesy and it gets annouing fast.

The story line is actually pretty good, the game is based 500 years after the original, where you and your sister are homeless and dream of a better life… I won’t spoil the story for anyone who may actually read this, but take my word, it’s pretty good.

Now, there are some things that drive me nuts about this game… First off, the damn load times… everytime you transition from one area to an other, there’s several seconds of load times… this is increased ten fold if you’re playing Co-op. Secondly, Co-Op, Fable 2 is one of those games where if you or your Co-Op partner tries to venture off too far, you’re stuck waiting for them… this gets annoying, especially when the damn voice chat isn’t working properly. The third thing that annoyed me, was the dog… you have a dog following you around the game, and he’ll occasionally bark, growl, howl or cry… well when you’re in a house with 2 dogs… they tend to imitate this annoying pet. The last thing that I wish they would of done differently is the actual movement controls… they aren’t so bad when you’re just walking around, but when you start runnin
g, yeah… forget it.

Now, some of the really cool features in this game include buying realestate, character development, chicken kicking.

All in all, I think I have to say this is probably my favorite game this year and probably my favorite sequel ever.

Picked up Lego Batman today. Having finished all 6 episodes of Lego Star Wars and having played half of Lego Indiana Jones (note to self, gotta finish this game) I thought, might as well get Batman too.

Played for about an hour so far and it’s pretty good. Same style of play as the other 2 games. Lots of old batman villains decided to show for this cool game, including and not limited to Clayface, Mr Freeze, Killer Croc.

Looking forward to playing some more.

So, it’s finally out! I’ve been waiting for this game for a LONG time now, and it’s finally out.

It’s a typical MMO, quite alot like World of Warcraft, however there are some cool differences. It’s more of a Realm vs Realm atmosphere, there are public quests and time based quests.

The graphics are quite nice, music hasn’t gotten on my nerves yet… The first disappointment for me was the fact that they nuked some classes that I wanted to play before it was even released. Second disappointment, my Macbook Pro would burn up after a few minutes of playing and then reboot… I was sure the reboots were caused by the over heating, so I tried to get it to work on my Precision… that didn’t work well… finally, after trying to make a new character, I got a blue screen relating to my video drivers… updated the drivers and now I just finished a 3 hour stretch… (though, I think I have 3rd degree burns on my leg now…)

Finally, last disappointment… iws doesn’t like it :( oh well..

So, my first character is a Chaos Magus named Gaelom on Phoenix… He’s now level 6 or such, I also have a Goblin Squig Herder named Grommmm (after Grom the Punch)

On Marienburg, I have an 8th level Witch Hunter named Malakai

As I said, I love the game, and think I’ll be playing this through most of the winter…

Now, if only we could either get Skaven, or Select Nurgle as the chaos god you worship.

So, Criterion released the latest update for Burnout Paradise… 2 free motorcycles with night time riding…

I tried them… and I don’t like them… maybe if they added actual achievements or trophies instead of simple in game achievements there would be a reason to play the bikes… other then that… they kinda suck…

Here’s hoping we get a new city for the cars.

 As as Sandman mentioned on his blog, there are tons of games out, or coming out and it’s hard to pick the ones you want, without buying them all. I picked Force Unleashed as one of the few games I’m getting this month.

So, you’re probably wondering what the heck is going through my mind… getting a Starwars game after such a bad review of Clone Wars? Well… I have to say, this game may have just saved the franchise for me.

I picked it up for the PS3 as I do find the graphics a bit better on my PS3 then on my 360.  And the graphics are stunning… Music, might as well of had John Williams write it. Game play is great… and it’s somewhat tough…

So far I’m only hunting after my 2nd Jedi, but I’m having a blast doing it.

Anyways… gotta go kill me some droids.

So, I picked up Spore yesterday. I had picked up the Creature Creator when it came out and enjoyed it, but stopped playing with it pretty quickly.

I have to say, I’m hooked on Spore though. My first try, resulted in a creature named blurgh, go from a single cell organism, to a biped creature, to a sentient being living in tribes.

I’ll add some more details soon
