Red Dead Redemption Teaser Trailer!

This just went up in the last day or two I believe and it's amazing. It's setting up the next game and if it's anything close to GTA IV it's going to be massive! I can't wait to experience it.



So from what you can see in this video there will be the mandatory western fair. Guns, Native Americans (see what I did there), Horses, Trains and lots of dead folks. My hard on for westerns is still going and will be till I can ride with my own posse and coach jack some handle bar mustache asshole. Then ride off with my loot and look for another job at the next mountain pass. Maybe you can waltz into town like Eastwood in Hang em High and bang some hooker in the barn for free. hahaha just kidding I wouldn't do that.....

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!!

Bungie almost done with Halo 3?

Over at Bungie's weekly update they gave us a small glimer of hope or did it completely squash hopes? According to this quote

"While we've indicated in the past that we don't have plans to deliver more content for Halo 3 beyond the retail launch of Halo 3: ODST, going as far as to call the return to New Mombasa the "exclamation point" on the Halo 3 experience, that's not a definite "never." That said, don't get too excited at the prospect as there are no current plans to make additional content post-ODST."

See the rest of the article over there they talk about Halo 3 continuing because of "us" the community making content. Really Halo 3 has some impressive play numbers still, which is no suprise. Halo ODST is going to be another reason to keep playing at least for a few more years. I can't wait to see what new projects Bungie gets into they really know how to keep a IP in the media and in your console.

Halo Wars is the shit.... my mini review.

Weeks after release I've finally gotten into Halo Wars and love it. I have never played a RTS game before. PC or Console so maybe I'm not a great person to review the game but I like it. It really doesn't have much to do with it being Halo either I really enjoy the gameplay. Being Halo doesn't hurt don't get me wrong I love the universe and think the story is pretty compelling. I see Halo turning into a Star Wars type of universe actually it already has.

So I move off topic here HW is not perfect you don't get around the map very easily and maybe that is why PC guys prefer to keep RTS games on PC. I think once you get the hang of it maybe it gets better but I'm 4 missions in and trying to juggle multiple conflicts it gets hectic. Which brings me to the next point the AI sometimes just sits here and watches shit get blown up. I was on a mission in the city protecting 3 evac ships. I would bulk up on pad one then move over to pad two or to my base to get more marines and get a message pad one is taking fire. I make it over there just in time to see my ship get blown up and my Hornets and Warthogs are sitting just out of the way. WTF? The AI is supposed to engage when near a enemy even if you don't request them too. I think the range needs to be reconfigured because that mission was BS.

The graphics are sweet watching your little marines shoot, drive, throw and fly has never looked better. Your base has lots of small working parts each supply pad has a conveyor belt. The level of detail is amazing to me and I get caught up just looking at them sometimes. Sound is spot on in all weapons, characters and explosions. The soundtrack stays true to the Halo series and fits in perfectly.

Over all I give this game a score of 4 ninjas out of 5. I think it's a great game and worth a buy for fans or anyone looking to get into RTS games.
