  • damswedon replied to the topic Do you think ME will come to PS3??? in the Mass Effect 2 board.
    i think it would be best for ps3 owners to wish for better ways to load games from blu-ray discs first. the elevators were stupidly slow in ME1 and that was from a DVD.

I have wanted to do a regular blog for a long time now but I know I couldn't do an in-depth one for a long time. So I have decided to a quick fire blog in the style of The Fast Show's Jesse's Diets.

...I have been playing.


Oblivion
Oblivion
I finally got a 360 back from the repairs but sadly, it wasn't mine, in fact, it was a new one. Am I happy? No. You see while I get a free Elite I don't get my hard drive back, this means I have to re-download all my DLC. This Plus a still busted PC equals wasted gaming time.
So this week has been spent dedicated to Oblivion, and you know it's a fun game and the world is one I can easily get invested in, unlike Fallout 3 where I play the game like a game and not like a person in that world



...I have been Reading.

Deadpool
Deadpool
I Decided to catch up on Deadpool so I picked up; Deadpool #10, Deadpool #11, Deadpool: Games of Death,
Deadpool Suicide kings #2 and Deadpool: Suicide kings #3. Now don't get me wrong i like Deadpool, but that's allot of the Merc with a Mouth so I'm Deadpool'ed out for about a month. A quick ranking is:
  1. Deadpool #11
  2. Suicide kings #2
  3. Deadpoll #10
  4. Suicide kings #3
  5. Games of death


...I have been listening to.

3 new songs hit my ipod this week,

the problem with E3 is that its one week of infomation. so much gets washed under the big news.
but most importantly i missed the badger from postal 3 in last years gamespot live feed.

lately Ive been looking at what makes a game good and what propels them to greatness, and i think I've found the greatest game of all time. It was hard and i had to push aside some of the greatest games, but i came to one conclusion, Tetris.
I took a list of the giants of video games and cut them down to the games that could be repeated over & over on any system and still be good. i did this because the greatest game shouldn't be held back by time, it should be timeless.
i got down to:

  • Pong
  • Tetris
  • The Legend of Zelda
  • Super Mario Brothers


But as i hope you can see, these are in their most pure form

  • Pong = hit ball back & forth
  • Tetris = Drop blocks clear rows
  • Zelda = run around solve puzzles
  • Mario = run from side to side & jump

 

But then i asked myself; If i asked 20 random people in the street, what is the last level / dungeon like in those games. would i likely get an answer for a Mario game or Legend of Zelda. The answer would be most likely be NO.
Now this may be where results may vary but threw out my life I've know people who adamently hate video games, this is based on the Outside media's view of games. But I've asked many of them if they have ever played Tetris and many have and they liked it.
using those peoples views and some of my own reason i have come to believe that Tetris is the greatest game of all time.

Mortal Kombat back to form (X360)
Story The story in MK vs DC is straight from a B-movie. The basic plot is the DC and MK worlds are colliding thanks to a mess up by Superman and Raiden. This ends up with a lot of fighting in an experience that should take between 6-9 hours. The ...

The reason I still believe in PC gaming? I've played a dozen LFD2 pickup games now all with great people using voice chat and teamwork.
