Come on Season 5
Come on Season 5
This was very surprising to hear but after a little thought i realized it was obvious, considering after last seasons outing it would have to be up for some high grabs. It includes;


Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (Michael Emerson), Outstanding Cinematography For A One-Hour Series, Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing For A Drama Series, Outstanding Music Composition For A Series (Original Dramatic Score), Outstanding Sound Editing For A Series, and Outstanding Sound Mixing For A Comedy Or Drama Series (One-Hour). In addition, Lost: Missing Pieces was also recognized, garnering a nomination for Outstanding Special Class - Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment Programs.

Just hope it gets what it deserves

I Got My Gold

Now for hard mode
Now for hard mode
Finally completed Battlefield: Bad Company. Go me!. I would have done it allot sooner but i had longer shifts at work  than usual so when i got home i was too tired to concentrate shooting dudes. I will probably try and get a few more achievements and play more of the multiplayer. I really enjoy the multiplayer and hope to get to rank 25 but I usually never get really committed to a game as I did with Call of Duty 4. But then again i stopped playing that after a  couple of months.

I have envisioned the future for this website and I must say it will be amazing to see it in 6 months time or even 2 years time. The amount of time, energy and resources that some people have put in to make this site a gaming brain in a couple of days is insane. The only problem I find is that when you put something up for moderation another 100 people follow suit unknowingly. I wish there was something to suggest to say this blurb is under discussion or the following change has been advised. I have read that a voting system for images will be implemented and the chance to grab points for it as well, in my opinion this is a great idea and will speed along the moderation process. Also a way to delete your submission would greatly help.

E3 2008 - That was quick

By veneer 1 Comments

E3

E3 2008 has come with a flood of information on 170+ games , and myself is still wondering how much of these games am I really excited about? Also what will actually turn into award winning or a big disappointment all round, e.g Alone in the Dark.

My first impressions of E3 08 was the massive Fallout  3. This is a game I'm looking forward to the most for Q3-4 and will be played obsessively. The new trailer that  shown was brilliantly produced and I give credits to everyone who worked on that. It was humorous
That's messed up

and made me more excited than ever to play. The game play is what I expected from Bethesda and I'm glad they kept it the same to oblivion, (no I'm not a fallout fanboy). Having not played Fallout 3 but hearing other people's impressions has kept me believing that this won't turn up in the stinker pile  at the end of the year. The combat to me looked great and I'm glad how they took the old style fallout combat and implemented it in a new way. The gore was very convincing and i remember watching a video with an enemy's leg being cut off in mid air. When I think hard this will be a first type of game for this genre, who can resist and open ended post apocalyptic world. You can find me on top of the monument this fall.

Brumak!

Gears of War 2 was a surprise for me to see as I really did enjoy the campaign co-op in the first game but not the multi player as I do continue to suck at the game play. Now my first thought before seeing the new campaign game play was to borrow it from a friend, play through the story and that chapter will be closed in my life. But how can I resist this game with sliding elevators, relentless Locust horde and "saddle me up" brumaks. There is no question i will be paying £40 for this game, and with the fact I suck at the multilayer, Horde mode looks interesting to me as I love co-op aspects.


The Xbox live experience didn't blow me away but there were some nice features that made me interested. LIVE party system is what makes me happy. The numerous times I have to switch chat channels can now be a thing of the past, though i wouldn't watch a movie while talking with my friends. The old Xbox dashboard is now on the Xbox guide button which means if i really do detest the new interface and avatar I am not forced to use them.   To access Xbox live marketplace from the web is a nice touch. Hopefully there is alot more customization with the avatars as green isn't really my colour.

Sony has me excited for them but not for any specific game but for the fact that they actually have games. The only problem I find is that there release window always seems so far away and very few that I am interested in are this year.

MAG Massive Action Game is an online shooter which can potentially hold up to 256 players on one game but broken down into 8 man squads. Even though this seems chaos in voice chat and bandwidth it seems like it can be possible on some hopeful level.

The squad idea reminds me of the squads used in Battlefield:Bad Company in which you work together by re spawning next to each other in tight spots to give a hand or to heal which gives points for doing so. A lot of people in multi player games like to rank up and the only way possible in MAG is to co-operate and communicate. Who wouldn't want to be a leader of an 8 man squad, the responsibility seems high but rewarding. It almost feels like and MMO in some respects but limited to 256 players. Are the squads consistent over multiple days or games, one day your a leader and now your not?  This may end up on the stinker pile but with on going faction scenarios, 256 player games and 8 man squads ill be keeping an eye out for this.
I could keep going but i feel like I have said enough for now, maybe ill go watch that fallout 3 trailer again.

Day 1 - The Launch of Giant Bomb

By veneer 1 Comments

Are my eyes deceiving me or has Giant Bomb finally exploded. My excitement levels are rising uncontrollably. From what I have seen so far this site has a lot to offer and many cool aspects. I won't be leaving any time soon, maybe I'll get a sandwich first though.

Now thats a nice sandwich
