Tuesday is a good day. *Update*

That is the day that my 360 is supposed to return. Woo.
And I am actually looking foward for school starting up again......

Note: I forgot to say that I pre-ordered two games. Banjo, got the code for Banjo Kazooie over XBLA and Left 4 Dead. I can not wait to play some multiplayer with Pill. Who else is up for some multiplayer when it comes out?

Anticipated Games of '08

So today in the shower, and I was counting up the number of games that I want to buy before the year is over, and suprisingly, there is not alot. But let me give you my list to show you what I am most excited for, and what I can give two shits about.

10. Mortal Kombat vs. DC- Superman vs SubZero, what else needs to be said?

9. Castle Crashers- Castle Crashers looks to be an amazing game from Behemouth, even more awesome than Alien Hominade. For 1200 points or 15 dollars, 4 player co-op, and a long story seems to be a great deal for this downloadable game.

8. Fallout 3- My anticipation for this game seems to have died down alot since E3.Though it still looks like a very cool game, after playing Oblivon to about completion, I really don't want to play another game like that for awhile, landing it atop the top of my list.

7. Call of Duty: World at War- I am very intrested in this game. I am getting tired of WW2 myself, but not as much as some people. I trust Treyach, and really do not blame them for Call of Duty 3, in which they were given less than a year to make. Now that they have the Call of Duty 4 engine in place, and have been given two years, they seem to be making a really good game. The Jappanese theatre exictes me, seeing that I always love to read about that part of the war, and have taken part of a national contest called History Day, in which I made a 10 minute documentary talking about one battle in the Pacific, which was Iwo Jima. I actually did almost make it to nationals with the documentary, but anyway, with the Jappanese theatre in place, and 4 players co-op I looks foward to playing this with Ish, Pill, and Mr. Nub himself, JamesF.

6. Banjo Kazzoie XBLA- This is just a port of the classic N64 game. And to be blunt, that game was the first game I have ever played. And to play it again on High Def, just makes me all fuzzy inside.

5. Fable 2- I loved the first Fable, even though it had some really big flaws. I hope that Mr. Moore can fix these, and make Fable the great game that it really should have been all along. Also, I really just want to go into my firends house,s sleep with their wifes, and kill their kids and pets.:D

4. Chrono Trigger DS- Never played Chrono Trigger on the SNES or PSX, and really want to play it for once, seeing that everyone seems to have a gastrinomic orgy when talking about it.

3. Mirrors Edge- This game looks freaking amazing. A first person platformer/action adventure game just sounds amazing, and looks like it could give me vertigo while playing. If that is really true, I would play this, again and again just to get that insane feeling. The graphics looks awesome, and I really, really want to play this game.

2. Gears of War 2- Loved the first one, but got it late, so when I hopped online, people were just using the overpowered shotgun all the time, and none of my firends wanted to play it because of it. This looks like they fixed all of the balance insuses and made the singleplayer more awesome. It looks like they really made Gears 2, Bigger, Better, and More BadAzz.

1. Banjo Kazzoie: Nuts and Boltz- Suprise, Suprise, I am a secret Banjo fanboy. This game looks amazing in everyway. The vehicle creator looks, awesome, the graphics look stunning, and its finally a return to the awesome series. I really can not wait for this game to come out, showing that Rare really has gotten back to its greatness back in the N64 days. Kameo was also great, and was completly overlooked by many, and seeing how much I loved that game, Rare, and the entire series, this game looks like it will blow away all other games.

Now there were some major snubs in there. Games that I really can not care at all about, so let me list a couple here.

3. Animal Crossing: City Folk. Ok, this game has N64 graphics, and I am not kidding. The game was originally coming out on the N64, but they just took the same graphics from the N64 and just put it on the Gamecube, so saying that this game has Gamecube graphics is completly false. But this game is just a complete re-hash of the other Animal Crossing games, but oh wait, they have a new city with probably like three shops that barley do anything. Come on.

2. Little Big Planet. This game seems to me that is is just a platformer that is overly cute, and you can make your own levels. Nothing really new here, at all. I really don't care about this game, because it brings nothing new to a game but a great level designer. Yeah, no thanks.

1. Star Wars Force Unleashed. Ok, Denis do not hate me for this, but I think this game looks completly, and absoluty retarded. I am a huge Star Wars fan, but this game just looks terrible. The lightsaber action looks dull, the force powers seem to be just a gimmick, and the graphics and story are just stupid. I really don't want another story that is not about movies 4-6. Just give me a next gen version of Super Star Wars, and not some crappy game, that looks like it want to be Jedi Knight.

Please, say whatever you want in my comments. Give me hate about any of my statements, I really will respond to each, and I just want to feedback.

Should I?

I have been thinking, really thinking. Something very odd for me.

Well I have been very upset about my 360 breaking, very upset that the console that I bought less than a year ago, that was supposed to be part of this 'new wave' of consoles that was sure not to die from the accursed red rings, actually red ringed.

So, for the time being, I have been playing lots of PC games, mainly some Sam and Max, and Team Fortress 2. This has made me realized that I love the PC. And have been considering just dumping my 360, meaning selling it on Ebay, and just buying a two thousand dollar gaming PC, in which would blow your eye sockets out of your eyes when you see the graphics that are displayed upon it.

Though the only reason that I see not to do this is because some of you don't have gaming PCs. Which is very odd to me. Not really alot of games on the 360 seem to grab my attention, aside from Fallout 3, which is coming to the PC, Gears of War 2, also coming to the PC, and Fable 2, yes, once again, coming to the PC as well.

Xbox Live seems to be just a wasteland of asswholes, who seem to derive their enjoyment from spewing the most accursed words to just annoy the crap out of others, and then yelling their brains out when someone, mainly me, tells them to shut the fuck up. While I don't get that on the PC side of things. People are respectful, and I play on usually the same servers, where guys are always cool, and respectful to others, and if someone comes in, and is being a jerk off, just bans their ass from the server. Also, may I mention that online on the PC is, free?

So with all this, I have been really thinking. I can get any game that I want off of Steam, which is an amazing service. It is the Xbox Live on the PC, and blows away Xfire. Team Fortress 2 is awesome. It is probably the best shooter I have ever played, just soley being for online gamers like myself, with the nicest of guys playing, and with the best graphics. And if I go through with this whole PC thing, will get World of Warcraft, yes the thing that makes people play for three days straight, and go without eating a morsel of food, and other games like Counter Strike Source, Spore(Which is going to blow every game coming out this year out of the water,) and other games. Also, did I mention that steam will be bringing Braid to the PC. Awesome.

With all of this adding up, I really have just been considering dumping PC gaming. It seems that anybody in my family who are gamers, are PC ones, and most of my friends are too. But I will weigh it on your thoughts on the subject. Should I just drop consoles all together with my frustrations, and losing intrests in them, and go to the PC gaming world?

Gears 2 Violence Filter

So I was searching G4.com, and I found this awesome video. Tried to embed it on the bomb, but it did not work, so I will just to have to give you a link. The video is about the Gears 2 violence filter, that is supposed to, if you turn it on, take away the swearing, blood, and violence, that our Gears is so adored for. But I think I will let this video speak for itself:

Spirit Bomb!

So lazziness has struck again as I have not blogged in over a week, this blog will have no images, since I am too lazy to put them in.^_^

So Doom over XBLA, in my opinoun, is a steaming pile, of horse poop, in laments terms, a peice of fucking garbage that was urinated upon by the god of crap himself. Seriously, I don't remember Doom being this boring, or mundane. And of course, I have got to a glitch in the last part of the first out of three levels that will make me have to restart my game. Its right after I beat the two big demons, and I step on the portal to hell. I know I am supposed to die, but it is supposed to transport me to hell, but instead just restarts my game from the last save. For 400 points, I think I could have done better, buying the Disney Villians Gamerpic Pac.

Got Bad Company from a friend, and have already beat the single player campaign. I thought it was a very enjoyable experince, and it was entertaining throughout. So far in multiplayer, I am a Master Seargent, and have unlocked the M16, a Support Gun, Arty Mobile Postioning Transmitter Thingy, and the most amazing shotgun, that is so completly over powered, it is unbelivable. I am thinking about playing the single player again on hard tommorow, seeing that my list for games to be played has dwindeled since the beginning of my vacation. But we will see.

Geometry Wars 2 Retro Revolved, comes out tommorow, I can't wait to kick all of your butts in the score department.

So after a long day yesterday, and another long one today, I think I will hit the sack now, unlike some people who stay up until 7 in the morning. You know who you are.

See you around lonley guy.

I got some stuff.

So I got a 4,000 point card at Gamestop yesterday and picked up a couple of things:

Eat those pellets!
Eat those pellets!
The first thing that I picked up with the points was Pacman- Championship Edition. I have been wanting this game for quite some time, just to see how Namco advanced upon the perfect Pac-Man formula. I was very suprised to see that they actually advanced upon it, and it made it a better game. Really quite hard though at times, really need to play more of this.




Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
The milkman level is the best level in any video game. Period.
The milkman level is the best level in any video game. Period.
The last thing that I bought was Psychonauts off Xbox Orginials. I loved this game to death on the Xbox, but never beat it, for some odd reason. That has always bothered me, so I bought it, and have been playing a little bit of it. The reason that I have not got so far is because my sister loves this game, and seems to have taken over my 360 just to play it. I also just got this because on a podcast on the 1UP, they have a segment that usually runs for about an hour, where each month they go back to their backlog, and play a game that they have never beat. The audience decideds what game this is, and every game usually has different people from the site who play along with it. Psyconauts won this time, and I decided it would be fun to play along as they did.





Look at the pretty colors!
Look at the pretty colors!
I have 1600 points left, and I am going to save them for two games. One of course is Geomotry Wars 2, the sequel to my faviorte game on XBLA. I also have another 800 left, and am deciding between getting the new Galaga Leigons, or the new Street Fighters. And a final note: Swearing in a blog for no good reason is just stupid. I have seen many people just doing it and saying, in retarded voice, "Oh, Giant Bomb allows swearing. Now I can just spam the fuck out of people, and not get in trouble. Lets see, how many times I can type fuck on this blog until I get bored." End of story. And if you still can't comment in blogs like I can't, just leave a comment on the wall please, or join the discussion of whether a hamburger is a sandwhich. Which its not.

The Bomb Exploded!

Finally, Giant Bomb has launched. I was formally a member of Gamespot, who's username was Gearhead3000, but now I have moved over to the the best gaming site in the internets, and will not be leaving. So as my first blog, I will post what I thought of the E3 this year, and the three big confrences.

Microsoft: 
-Avatars, meh. As long as they give me a refund for all the points I spent on Gamerpics. No Microsoft don't want Undertow 2.
-New Dashboard looks cool. They have enough time to fix a couple things, but I think these look so much better than the blades.
-Gears 2 looks fantastic. Can't wait to get my hands on my most anticapted game this year. New multiplayer modes and fixes are great, and just add to the games excellence.
-Fallout 3, looks great, and I hope, as Vinny said, got rid of the roboticness of people when you are talking to them, that occured in Oblivion.
-RE5. RE4 with a new paintjob, and co-op. No complaints here.
-Lips, it seemed ok until Duffy came and sang. Best part of the confence right there.                                                                                     

Sony:
-Resistance looked great, besides the parts where he was flying through the windows.
-Little Big Planet with the graphs was genious. Made me actually pay attention to that, and look foward to LBP.
-Patapon and Loco Roco 2. Not a bad line up for the PSP. And Resistance on the PSP. Not a bad year for it, much better than what the DS has this year.
-MAG, has the best tittle, ever! 256 players is alot, and I look foward to seeing how they will handle the lag, and the people just goofing off in the game, like they did in BF2.
-Fat Princess: Game of the Show.
-Rachet and Clank downloadable game is very smart, 15 dollars for a 5 hour experince sounds great.

Nintendo:
Nothing

See you around Bombers.
