Game Update Monday

While this evening a smiling moon hangs above you I hope you had a good Monday. Mine was alright nothing special I still have a job and I'm still behind on bills. But a thing that did make me smile today was official news of a few new games/options in new games. Capcom made it official that Marvel vs Capcom 2 is coming this summer to Xbox Live and Playstation Network. Actually this Thursday May 2nd a demo exclusive to us lucky PS3 owners will be available on the PSN. I loved this game on the Dreamcast I can't wait to get into it again. The game will cost 14.99 and be available sometime this summer. But with a demo this fast after announcement I have feeling we'll see this in June at the latest. I can't wait to get Iron Mans huge blaster out again and string together 100 hit combos and slap you down like noob bitch you are online!

***I took down the videos of these games the aspect was reformatted and it looked like shit. Check out www.gamevideos.com if you want to see them again***

Second big news is Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will feature co-op, a deathmatch and a capture the flag type option. This video below shows it off and made me piss myself a little. Watch this in HD and check out the amazing lighting, reflections, textures I could go on and on. The gameplay shown seems pretty solid. You can assist other players reaching areas similar Splinter Cell when it first released MP. Spy's and Mercs I believe it was called. That shit was amazing and made MP really differant I can't wait for this game. I think it's turning into the 2nd most wanted game for me besides Bungie's Halo ODST.

Red Dead Revolver on your Xbox 360

I've been into westerns lately I'm not sure why either. The days of the new frontier are long over pretty much nowhere on earth is there any place left like the old west. I guess it's the sense of unknown the ruthless nature of the time. Hookers, gambling and shootouts crazy times! Well I picked up RDR (Red Dead Revolver from here) for the Xbox today at Gamestop for 4.99. I have to say it's a good find for that price, I played it years ago when it came out but now it's a classic. The headshots never get old that pop noise and the fountain of blood that shoots up. Long distance kills are my favorite great stuff. Anyway RD Redemption is coming out late this year and with Rockstars ability to make a open world I can't wait to see what they can do with this property. The only problem is the backward compatibility is jacked up. You get a crash when you get to the lady around mission 7? Can't remember her name and Red flickers every once in awhile when playing. Otherwise I'll over look this just to play its a fun game. Go buy it now! Buy Red Dead Redemption this fall too!

******UPDATE******

Besides the glitch with Bad Bessie crashing the game I reached a fatal crash at Chapter 12 also. The load screen plays as Red spins his revolvers and the fades to black.......waiting.........nothing. So my joy was short lived. To bad...

Update Spartans do die.....

Despite what the UNSC tells you Spartans can die. I have personally witnessed squads go down faster than a broke hooker on Friday night. Halo Wars is really a lot of fun but it's getting hard as hell toward the end. I'm impressed this game has gotten me into RTS style games I think I might like them.

Appaloosa my new favorite western.

I just finished watching Appaloosa and I am suprised, in a good way. I heard good things about this film when it was in theaters but I couldn't make it before it left theaters. This film seems to have gone almost unnoticed? I don't know how the western genre has gone under as quick as it has. I guess it's lost it luster since the days of John Wayne and young Clint Eastwood. Or maybe since we have come so far with techonolgy we don't see the appeal anymore of simpler times? Great idea for later blog I'll dig deeper on that. Ok so Appaloosa was a book by Robert B. Parker published in 2005 and by looking over his books seems to be one of the only westerns he did. He is definetly a master of characters and building relationships between them. I think I might pick up the book and give it a read pretty good stuff. Don't miss this film even if you don't like westerns this is a great drama and has action for the guys and a love story for the women. The characters really are well done and the story keeps you in suspense. This rates up their with one of my favorite westerns I'd give this 4 ninjas out of 5!!
