Wow I didn't even know this existed
This looks like it might have decent martial arts action, cheesy one liners and the typical angry cop who probably ends up helping the Ninja at the end. Oh yeah and the token helpless girl who needs to be rescued. It's full of the usual and it looks like I would pay to see it. It will have to tide us over till the badass Ninja Assassin comes out.

Zelda Update Jump Into Hell Today
So I attempted to start Wind Waker the other day and made it about 30min in before I jumped off. I was supposed to finish more I know but I keep getting attempting to play Halo 3 and I'm having fun for a few minutes before some 10yr old douche ruins it. I started playing action sack because of the varied game types and maps. Today I got booted from two games in a row because some genius walked in front of my laser and got hit. So I'm done trying to play it. I have a lot of thought going into a opinion post about Live and PSN so I'll do that later this week or something. I have a lot of work this week so not much time. Ahh yeah and I somehow missed the release of Halo: Helljumpers came out today from Marvel. The drawings look better and from the preview at IGN the writing and art already look better so go pick it up asap it will sell out just as uprising did on the first issue. Hurry!!

Zelda Wind Waker Rewind Replay
So today while working away at my boring job selling parts I thought of something to do. I never finished Wind Waker or Twilight Princess so I'm going to restart both Wind Waker first and replay to completion and blog along the way. Hopefully it will be a good experiment and get me writing more here. Maybe I will drum up someone who will actually post here too! So tomorrow I will start playing and tell you how far I get.

Bungie Day Halo ODST and Nathan Fillion...
So July 7th was officially Bungie Day which I almost forgot. So when I got home from work made dinner etc I jumped on around 8. I logged into the Bungie vs The World hopper and of course didn't meet up with Bungie. When I was playing there were about 130,000 people playing making the chance of me winning the lottery better than getting some Recon armor. But I did get my 7 on 7 Vidmaster achievement which is cool so I'm a little closer to getting those done. On the 7th Bungie also released their best podcast ever with none other than Nathan Fillion showing up.
He got to play Firefight and even some Halo: Reach. He was at the studio for 2 days! I'm a huge Firefly fan so hearing what he thinks about the game was cool. He is a big Halo player and it sounds like he is pretty good. The guys talked a lot about Firefight which actually got me excited for ODST again. I mentioned in my E3 post it looked pretty crappy and well I hope it surprises me. I know Bungie has a great track record (we'll forget about Brute Force) so this should be no different. Horde was my favorite part of Gears 2 other than that I have literally only played 4 public matches ever. I used to play social matches with some guys from another site but they got annoying. After all the title updates to Gears the shotgun got worse and I hate it so Firefight will be a welcome change and I can't wait!! Going up against multiple hunters scattered with Brutes and Grunts oh my! Hell yeah can't wait.
One last thing for the toy collectors out there. I have the Halo 3 ODST trooper but McFarlane is coming out with a Rookie figure in October right after the release of ODST and it looks a little different a must have for fans.

Tekken 6 Featuring Cardboard Tube Samurai CONFIRMED
News confirmed Namco announced today that they are in fact offering this as a pre-order bonus. Great news!!
In a strange turn of events or at least to me Namco may be putting the Penny Arcade famed Cardboard Tube Samurai in the game. Here are the images to compare. Looks pretty close to me. The figure image is from the new figure that will be available at SDCC in San Diego next month. What do you think? If you look close you can see the pacman style logo on both shirts on the left breast. Seems like confirmation enough to me check out 1up.com for more info.

Retro Caming Still Cool
So lately I'm just tired of Xbox Live keeping up with game communites to try and play with certain people and create or keep up with a "friends list". I really am as I've mentioned before if it wasn't for Netflix I would have got rid of Xbox Live already. It costs around 8 bucks a month so I'm debating about just turning it off anyway. I'll bump up my DVD to 3 or 4 at a time. Getting demos early and playing multiplayer games isn't worth it for me. Everytime I turn on Halo 3 or recently Street Fighter IV I hear nothing but assholes. I'm really tired of it. So now fuck it I'm going back to my roots in gaming. I'm playing single player games that don't require co-op. I don't give a shit if a game has multiplayer or not. I never really have. I'm not saying I'm not playing anything new I'm just don't investing money in anything in hopes I can play it online and get a good experience. So I'm busting out my Gamecube and already getting a Wii next month. So that is my two cents about multiplayer games. I'm loving my PS3 lately I think this next year is going to be amazing for Sony and Nintendo with more solid games coming for the Wii than ever.

E3 Took Over Hollywood For The Week
E3 has surprised and disappointed me. The showing was strong from every platform I think if your a game fan you'll have something to play the next year. I was disappointed by some big games which really surprised me. All three have spawned their digital babies I'm just covering the ones I like because this is my blog and if your reading this you must have similar tastes. If not well your shit out of luck.
Microsoft had a impressive stage. The usual fanfare lot of screens lights colors like the opening of a basketball game. They open with..... The Beatles. Ok I know the Beatles were huge back in what the 60's and I am taking nothing away from them or their success. Their message of love through music, drugs and sex was great. But I'm not into playing their music with plastic instruments. I'm really not and I won't pay for that shit you have to be kidding on those prices. The 360 has a great line up I won't lie. Even with all the hardware issues (I'm on box #3) people are still buying them. The Netflix partnership really is the bane of my Xbox's life. I use it for that more than anything anymore. Without that I would have cancelled my Live subscription long ago. New Twitter and Facebook functionality??? Really wow fuck you MS who actually cares about that? Oh right the 13 year old boys who talk shit and ruin games that want to network with their equally as annoying friends. Innovative Project Natal while technically pretty neat I will never and most gamers will never use it. Why? In 10-15 years maybe the next generation of games will find it fun but if that is the way things are going I'll go back and play old games I'm not interested. I was really looking forward to Bungie showing off ODST and last weekend Reach was leaked so everyone knew it was going to be shown in some capacity. But ODST was my biggest disappointment of this years E3. The game looked good in some parts and really pure shit in others. Yeah you the bridge explosion scene WTF was that? That was the worst gameplay turn a dial on some charges fall back and snipe a couple grunts in the open and boom? The drop was great from there things were rocky. Reach well was nothing? Just some teaser which does anyone what good? We know many Spartans existed during that time adn that reach does fall. So hey going into it you know your fighting a losing battle. Bungie knows how to polish games and how to support them so I'm not that worried but I will not pay much attention to this till about August now.
Sony nice stage HUGE screens for maximum effect running PS3 for a serious HD experience. Seeing Uncharted and God of War that big was pretty cool. Uncharted looked amazing and to date one of my favorite games of PS3 so far. Grand Turismo 5 for PSP and the new Metal Gear for PSP also shown and look amazing. The PSP Go! turned into the worst kept secret of E3 which hey at least they can laugh at it. But I won't buy one why should I I have a year old PSP Slim and its great. I hope for Sony's sake it does well because it looks pretty sweet and from people on the floor it's a nice piece of hardware. Not a bad overall presentation I enjoyed watching it. I'm listing my favorite games below.
Nintendo pulled out the big guns and didn't seem to disappoint. Starting things off with Mario which suprised everyone that a new game is coming so fast but not just 1 but 3 big titles coming. Two new games for the Wii and a new game on the DS. No annoucement with Zelda until after the press conferance and Miyamoto himself said in a interview with G4 that he is working on it and it will be out next year. Hell yeah that is great perfect!! Who can forget the Metroid annoucement! That was sweeeeeet and that ties for my game of E3.
Ok so I'm sure I missed plenty of stuff at E3 but really that is what I've thought about so far I'm still going over 3 differant sites videos and articles on games. It's been a fun week with all the news good times. So below are the games I'm excited about for each system. Anything that is multiplatform I'm buying on PS3 because I can't rely on my 360 and I hate having to wait for a repair to make it back.
