Call of Duty : Advanced Warfare

What next? Geriatric Warfare? I miss how it started out as a WWII shooter. Man, someone should do one now. :p Well, it does have Kevin Spacey.

Thunderforce 3 OST

Redone on Electric Guitar! So awesome, i've always loved the game and the OST was soooo beautiful..... ah, the 16bit days!

TGIF!

Woooo! Rainy Friday! :) Again nice to sleep in. Remember this series Fatal Frame? Man, it's now a download on the PSN store for the PS3.... and it's cheap... but... fark, that game always creeped the hell outta me! O mean, look at that cover! Brrrrr.... always hated that cover.

 

E3 2013

So it's the big day! PS4 at only US$399 haha! Way to stick it to MS! :p Well, still remains to be seen how the next gen of games will fare. Not too many original titles without a number behind.. ok, there's Destiny, which looks like a Halo/MMO mashup. There's The "Order 1886", which looks like some demon hunting steampunk thing. Too bad though that Bayonetta 2 is for the Wii U only... for now i hopes!

Persons who designed the XBONE and PS4 must have come from the same design school!

In other news, iOS 7 looks interesting... seeing how most of the wanted features are available on jailbroken phones haha!

NextBox

Looks like the next gen Xbox will be announced on the 21st of May :

Hmm.. will i be interested in getting it? Truthfully, i hardly touch the 360 anymore, and most games are cross platform anyway, so i see myself probably having a higher chance of getting the PS4 rather than the nextBox! :P

Angry Review - Aliens Colonial Marines

Haha, i haven't tried it yet, but from what i hear and read, it supposedly sucks? :p

Monday monday!

So another week swings around again, yes, i will still say it; weekends come and go too fast!

 

Just completed Bioshock:Infinite yesterday, game's around 8-10 hours worth of gameplay, but that's cos i explored and did most of the sidequests. Probably shorter if you just blaze through it. However, the way the story goes, you'll need to pick up all of the audio logs and clues to get most out of the story, otherwise there'll be a LOT of question marks hanging around your noggin!

 

I think this game is like the "Inception" of the game world; not too many spoilers here, but i feel that any movie/game/book that uses time/parallel dimensions as a plot device are treading a very thin line. It's always hard to get the reader/player to accept your interpretation of the event, and with so many paradoxes introduced, it's easy to contradict a lot of events that happened. I mean, take a look at Star Trek, time travel and such has been overused to a point that it's a joke.

 

B:Infinite does sort of cover us most loose ends at the end, but also does bring into question why some things were done in certain ways. Well, the game was entertaining no doubt! I'd give it a 80/100, hopefully the DLC will shed more light on the game! Also, wish the game had a New Game+ mode where all the powerups carry over!

 

Back to TR! :p

Unreal Engine 4

Hmmm, i think we're past a time when fantastic graphics really begin to impress us; look at something considered high-end like the Frostbite 2 engine, at the end of the day, there's this 'flatness' to current gen graphics. Of course it looks great compared to like, 1-2 years ago. But i guess even the current state of CG is the norm, and isn't so much a selling point anymore.

The UE4 powered demo looks cool, but i expect us to be playing games with cutscene class CG in maybe 1-2  years time... without the whole system slowing down of course. BF4's Frostbite 3 powered engine looks.... like more of the same actually... they reused a lot of BF3's bad guys models lazy buggers! And there's also the CryEngine3, (what i saw in Sniper 2 GW which supposedly uses the CE3 didn't impress).

 

If this type of graphical fidelity can come to the next gen consoles... woohoo! The PC is in for a fight!

Just Cause 2 - Multiplayer!

Why they don't make this official, i do not know. :P Guess it's always up to the community to make things more interesting!

Check it out here! : http://www.jc-mp.com/

Only other thing they need to do now for MP is make the characters customizable.. cos now, everyone is.... rico. :P

ROTT!

Haha, remember this game? It had always been one of the kookier FPS games around, but still fun nonetheless! And guess what, it's coming back! :p nostalgia indeed... or lack of new ideas?

DOOM 3 - BFG Ed.

Always been fond of the DOOM series, cos that was what really jump started the FPS genre (not forgetting the granddaddy WOLF3D of course!), I remember spending countless hours on my old 486 shooting imps, cacodemons and those goat headed thingys. :p

Doom II was a slight update to the original, different enemies like the annoying revenant, and updates like the double barrelled shotgun. Then Doom 3 came along. When it was released, it was buggy as hell, and the graphics power needed to run it was crazy, but when it was running, it was glorious fun albeit rather dark.

Come this October, a new version call 'Doom 3 - BFG edition' will be released, it's been over 7-8 years already? I wonder if i'll still be creeped out by the lil' baby demons! There'll be news missions again, and an update in gfx (i hope), it better be at a budget price though! :P

Dead or Alive 5

What do i remember best about the DOA series? Why, the jiggling of course! :p
