Starcraft 2 Beta Review!

Starcraft 2 is the much awaited sequel to the best selling PC game of all time. Made by developer Blizzard Entertainment the masterminds behind World of Warcraft and the Diablo series. As everyone knows the game is still in Beta but I figured I would write a review about the Beta so that everyone can know what I think of it so far. At first glance the game looks great. The graphics are clean and well polished. The command system is very responsive and makes the game feel like it flows very smoothly. It also so fun that games last on average 15-10 minutes but it feels like only 5. The game plays great the controls are easy to use once you learn them and the ranking system is great. You go through 5 placement matches before they put you in a division of people with similar skill levels as you. The only downfall I have seen so far is some of the wait times are a little on the long side as well as in some of the bigger games (ex. 3v3, 4v4) there can be a great deal of lag causing some players to have to leave before the match is over leaving your team a man down. Other than those two small little things the game is great I can’t wait until the full game is released in July

Free Co-op DLC Coming To The Old West In June

Rockstar has announced that their forthcoming Western adventure title, Red Dead Redemption, will receive free multiplayer downloadable content a month after release.

Entitled “Outlaws to the End,” the DLC includes six co-op missions and additional multiplayer XP rewards and brand new Achievements and Trophies to unlock.

They include:

• Walton’s Gold: Walton’s Gang have taken control of a mining camp rich with gold. Fight through the camp and load your mine cart with as much gold as you can carry and get out as fast as you can – Walton’s boys have rigged the place to blow.

• The River: Ride a raft down river, taking out rebel encampments along the way until you reach the rebel stronghold of Nosalida and a final epic battle for the town’s massive weapons caches. Watch out for Gatling gun-equipped enemy rafts.

• Ammunition: The Mexican Army has the town of Tesoro Azul under siege. Storm the gates under heavy cannon, Gatling gun and sniper fire to destroy the Mexican artillery placements.

The Community (James) Speeks Out On Red Dead Redemption

Red Dead Redemption is a new game by Rockstar studios. The same company that created games such as the GTA series and the game Bully. The game is set in the fictional state of New Austin. You play as former gang member turned lawmen John Marston. As you play through the game you find new areas to explore and people to meet. My first impression of the game is great I loved the whole idea of a free roam Wild West game. Once I started playing the game though I started to find small flaws within the game. So far I have only found one real major flaw and that is sometimes if to much happens in game it will crash on you sending you back to the PS home menu. For instance I had fallen down a Cliffside and the game froze on me then kicked me back to the PS home menu. I also found some small other bugs like in the bar in Armadillo the bartender tends to get stuck on the bar and therefore can’t move causing me to have to quit the game and restart it. Also some characters in game walk through walls and other small bugs like that. Like I said mostly small bugs but still can be somewhat of an annoyance at times. Overall though the game is great. I love the feeling of suspense every time you get into a gunfight with outlaws or go one on one with a bear or even a cougar. Alongside the main storyline and in true Rockstar fashion there are so many side quests off the main story line that you can be entertained for hours. Whether it is finding a person’s lost son to completing different challenges to upgrade your skills. As well as the fact that you can either be a good guy and stay a lawmen helping out citizens throughout your journey or you can become and unlawful killer. The game will play differently depending on which side you choose. For instance if you are “good” the lawmen in each town will welcome you with open arms but if you are “bad” then the lawmen are more likely to try and take you out. The multiplayer is also pretty fun as well. There are many different modes to play as well as you can just do a free roam multiplayer and either work together with the people in the game to take out gangs or you can just go around killing each other without remorse. All in all I think the game is great but the few small glitches I have found take away from the awesomeness of the game just a bit.

Lead And Gold PSN Game Review

Lead And Gold the 15$ PSN Game that plays just like a Team Fortress game i found this game to be very enjoyable even though theirs only 4 people to pick from I found it to have very easy controls and lots of ways to get exp the game follows the standers of the old west with objectives such as carrying gold from point (A) to your hideout Point (B) to taking TNT powder kegs and blowing up two areas marked (A and B) the nice thing I found about this game is they set up a verity of areas to accompany what class you pick whether its (Blaster,Deputy,Gunslinger Or Trapper) you will find your sweet spot eventually and be getting kills in no time this game is fun whether you play alone or with a gang of your friends what it all really boils down to is a good old fashion team death match and team communication I advise this game to anyone who has played the Team Fortress games just because of its cartoon like art style and button layout!

3D Dot Heros Game Review

3D Dot Game Hero's,what people are calling the new Zelda of 2010 with that classic kiddy Lego feel this game had me motivated to try it and in all fairness i am glad i spent the 40$ to buy this. this game has a wide variety of weapons and items to collect and dungeons to visit the map is very laid out and pretty big and the story is rather funny to it has lots of funny innuendos that are rather easy to spot and you will find yourself laughing when you find them (I Myself Have Found A Demon Souls Parody And One From The DS Game Contact) the map is very generous and the controls are very simple and follow the old standards of the original Zelda game you also get the ability to play from a number of hero's ranging from a car,tank,gorilla to even Santa Clause and just like the old Zelda you can find magic meters and also health pieces exactly identical to heart pieces in the Zelda games but you will find yourself reliving your past and enjoying every minute of it aside from everything being almost 100% perfect with this game i only have 4 main complaints about this game i would much rather this have been more RPG-ish with the ability to level your character but it fairs out to where you can level your sword so it makes up for that lack of the RPG Elements also i find that the arrows lob in this game unlike the old Zelda where arrows fly straight now i know in real life arrows can take on all kinds of flight patterns so again its something i can live with along side that is the small blast radius of the bombs i seem to find it hard to kill any kind of enemy with bombs when the enemy's are always on the move so your better off saving your bombs for the later dungeons and dealing with enemy's with your sword instead also another thing is the lack of items in pots or enemy drops i often found myself entering dungeons short handed whether it be not enough bombs,candles or arrows but this game is very generous on the other hand with giving out Coins (money/G), Red Berry's (health) and Green Berry's (magic) all in all this game is revolutionary i myself hope Atlus sees that a lot of people have taking a liking to the old games made into retro games and continues in this pattern i myself advise this game to anyone who enjoys the old Zelda's or games with that retro look!

My Take On Sonys History And Gaming

WOW look its everyone's new favorite Playstation icon Sackboy,yes Sackboy seems like Sony wants to keep adding cute icons for as long as i can remember from when i was little and i got my first Playstation Sony has changed around the Playstation icon a lot from Crash Bandacoot To Gex And Syphon Filter And Cars From Gran Tursimo And Spyro (Many Are Also Unlisted Sorry This Is all From Memory) then Sony made the transition over to the Playstation 2 and once again Sony was on the dot with there marketing they chose icons to appeal to all ages of gamers such as Kratos,Crash (Again),Tidus,Kingdom Hearts,Prince Of Persia,Sly Cooper,Metal Gear and the Grand Theft Auto series now just a little over 4 years since the ps3 was released (November 17,2006) Sony has thrown around all kinds of  faces and ideas to help market the ps3 i seem to recall when the ps3 1st went up in stores it was marketed with the combo pack of either Drakes Fortune Or Motorstorm (I My Self Got Motorstorm) but its like if you look at the ps3 it really developed from a mere child's tinker toy in a a beast of a machine with lots more coming in the following years in all honesty Sony has always captivated my mind when it comes to the games that are being released i mean Sony is one of the very 1st consoles to ever have a game where 256 players are able to play online i would love to see Microsoft do this someday but we will see i mean its just amazing to see how far gaming has come since the invention of Pong (1972) Almost 40 years later gaming is still improving and amazing people today with the new boundaries company's are pushing you can guarantee that Sony will still impress in the near future!

Army Of Two Game Review

When this game 1st came out i was kinda pumped for it to be honest so i went and bought it and found out something very fast the game-play lacks in a couple of aspects after the training you seem to find yourself kinda playing a gears of war clone which at 1st i really didn't mind because it was a new game at the time and a lot of games have been following in the same format but it got old very fast i often found myself having to hide behind the walls and deal with all the flying bullets also the AI is kinda stupid when you would want them to be kinda self aware about the situation that you would have to deal with the AI likes to run out into oncoming fire then you find yourself getting the short end of the stick having to run out and save them also the AI likes to drag you miles away from where you go into death mode even when there's not anyone alive and you take damage as well and you have no help in the situation but one if the good things i found is that this game kinda has a call of duty health regeneration where if u duck out of the way for long enough you health slowly returns but like i said before this becomes an ever tedious task having to do it almost 85% of the time but aside from the crappy single player i have not 1 complaint about the co-op it's actually really smooth and the 2ed player makes the game move along a lot faster and makes it more fun to play so you won't be getting bored but aside from all the bad aspects this game is a really fun buy theirs multiple upgrades and weapons, teamwork options,picking up car doors for cover,parachuting,co-op sniping and back to back so if you want a bit of a challenge or just wanna kick back and try something new i advise giving this game a try
