This post relates to: Resident Evil 5, Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, Too Human, Battlefield: Bad Company, Beijing 2008: The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games, TNA iMPACT!, Dead Space

 
Dead Space at first glance looked kinda like Resident Evil, with the over the shoulder camera and scary as hell moments.But after a while I noticed the Dead Space has it's own space(Pun intended)of it's own.



    
     The Good

• Innovative moments
• Graphics are good despite some frame rate drops
• Levels look dark and gritty
• Some pretty good AI
• A decent sized story
• Pretty nice controls

      The Bad

• Not much replay value

• Frame rate drops

      Scores
Gamespot:8.5
Giantbomb:4 stars

New addition to preview
SinglePlayer:5 stars
Controls:4 stars
Multiplayer:I'm not for sure if this will have multiplayer, somebody needs to give me a link of a multiplayer preview that I can read, I'd appreciate it
Lasting appeal:2 and a half stars

Dead Space may have a "Space" of it's own but I don't think it'll ever match up to what I think it would love to beat out, Resident Evil.Time for a review update!

Too Human:Suspended, I had to suspend it because I didn't ever beat it because I took so much time on Alone in the Dark.I'm gonna rent it off Gamerang at some point so I can have a lot of time with it.I would've rented it again but I'm gonna rent something else that'll I'll tell you about in one second.
Battlefield:Bad Company:I've been playing a lot of this since I took back AitD and Too Human.I've played the multiplayer enough that I feel I could write a full review on the multiplayer alone.So far, I love Battlefield.
Beijing Olympics 2008:I got the short review posted check it out and comment if you want.
TNA iMPACT!:This saturday I'm gonna go to Blockbuster again and see if they have TNA iMPACT! and if they do I'll rent it and if they don't, I'm gonna pay my dad some money for when he loaned me 20 bucks for Mercs 2.

Well that's today's blog, we got a football game tomorrow against Holly Pond(They suck)so hopefully we can win our first game.The bigger story here is the girl I'm dating isn't gonna be able to go to the game and there is a dance afterwards that I'm going to...alone and I know if I even talk to any girls I'll be accused of cheating in a heartbeat.The dance ends at about 11:30 so I might write up a blog on what happened tomorrow night, so check that out.Well until next time, this has been your native WWE Guru, see ya!

  When I first heard about Legendary, it was a forum on GS cleverly entitled"Sleeper hits"all it really wanted to know was what do you think was going to be the game that surprises us.I saw some screens of Legendary and I was blown away.Then I saw some gameplay on Giantbomb and I noticed it kinda looks a little like another FPS Shooter.Combine all that into one and you get my preview...
The Good

• Simple controls
• Nice Story
• Great Graphics

• Nice variety of weapons

The Bad

• Small frame rate drops
• Nothing really stand out from other Shooters
• Multiplayer feels a little tacked own

If you didn't get to go to the Olympics this year, then why not do it yourself?!



Not sure if the guy at the end who has his fishing rod used as a Javelin is in on it or not, but I prefer to think not :)

This post relates to: Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, Iron Man, Beijing 2008: The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games, Call of Duty: World at War, Burnout Paradise

  Well I can say this is a very shocking movie to me.Everyone of the actor's/actresses in the movie performed a great job, and I hope the kid actor's go on to live a good acting career, unlike many other good kid actors/actresses.Let's talk about the story, a kid and his nerdy friends' are walking through the wood's and they stumble(Literally)some Sasquatch shit and some footprints, but in the next chapter you find out that their annoying neighbor's(Justin Long and Joey Kern)planted it there to earn some money to pay their bills.So the kid's are trying to get some publicity and the main kid,Gavin, want's to impress the pretty girl that think's she's fat.Wow,that's a crazy story,eh?It all fit's together at the end, and your left very impressed at how they made this fit all together.The comedy in"The Sasquatch Gang"is suprisingly pretty good and all the comedy isn't just poop joke's, but some of the joke's are knida hard to get and really corny.This is made by the people that made Napolean Dynamite and you can tell that it is because Jon Heder make's a small cameo apperance and Uncle Rico is the Cop and the Uncle to a bully.Wow, this was a short review
Score:4 and a half Stars
Quote of the Movie:"That's Sasquatch poopy."

Well if you didn't read my comment on my blog about COD then you don't know that I cancelled my review for Burnout Paradise.The reason is because I was tired of it and I couldn't write a fair review on it.Oh, and since I bought Merc's I took it off my Gamerang list so tomorrow they will be shipping either Iron Man or Beijing Olympics 2008.

So okay, lets get this first out. This is a vid from a local comedy show around here, like a Saturday Night Live but not live and more like "by the people, from the people and for the people" type of setup. It actually the funniest show in this place. I'll try to explain some stuff below the vid, its in Spanish but most is physical comedy so you don't have to understand to appreciate what my point is.

A little layup for the vid... a parody of the Beijing Olympic Games. Fast foward to 5:50 minutes in the vid to get what I'm trying to share with y'all.


The Goku and Piccolo, Power Ranger and Speed Racer parts are allusion to the characters being gay, but from the noise of the guys behind cameras that's pretty obvious.  I you have any other question let me know.

See, nerdiness can fit into anything :P. But seriously, I'm ecstatic about his accomplishments tonight. Swimming classes will be booked everywhere, endorsements will be plentiful, his rate of getting girls will skyrocket, and he'll go down as one of the greatest. Everyone wants to be like Mike...Phelps. :)

So I double clicked

on my friendly desktop Firefox icon, and was pleasantly forwarded to my homepage, as both intstructed and intended. Google.co.uk welcomed me with open arms. I was greeted to this merry and familiar sight:
And was just typing in the address of our trusty Giantbomb(.com) when a sutble message caught my eye.

Obsessed with the Games?

It seemed to say.

If only you knew, was my quick reply. And quick too was my reaction as I hastily clicked the google link, awaiting with interest the fascinating article to which I was being forwarded.
I, of course, immediately assumumed it was computer games that were the new hot topic and worthy of immediate global attention. I thought happily to myself - "Ahhh, finally computer games are being embraced as a sincere form of modern media, and we are now arriving at a time of global recognition and celebration as to the acomplishments of this great industry."

What a fool I was.

I was forwarded, instead, to a website stacked with information - nay, clustered with information about some mess called the Olympics... The very word left a foul taste in my mouth, and I could feel the skin on my fingers crawl with excessive distaste as to the grim recognition of misinterpretation.

You win this time Google. But soon Computer Game obsessed people like me are going to stand up to you and your Olympic shenanagains with a groundbreaking message. One day, it will be OUR time on your homepage. And when that time comes I hope you are still wearing your running shoes pal, because we are bringing the (metaphorical) pain to your yard!

Dont mess with us, you Olympiad bitches. Theres a new bomb in town, and I hear its pretty... giant?
