Anticipation

15 hours, and 43 minutes left until KILLZONE 2 comes out. There will be a midnight release tonight at GameStop, but unfortunately I can't go because it's a school night. That's why I really hope that it rains tomorrow so that we can cancel tennis practice and I can get to GameStop right after school. It's so weird, the feeling you get when you get so close to something you want. Something you've been waiting for for many months, when you finally get it, it's almost like you have nothing to look for anymore because you have it. Oh well, that's the good part though, I could finally stop wasting time on the computer looking for gameplay videos of KILLZONE 2 and actually play the game. Man, I've been playing the demo nonstop eversince I downloaded it, so I'm used to aiming the gun and how much recoil the 2 guns that they let you use have. I'm going to try and blast through the campiagn mode the rest of the friday I have so I could get online and take down some noobs! Hopefully the campaign isn't that long because I'm ready to take out anyone in my way in the huge online multiplayer matches. Online you can create CLANS, where you can enlist a group of people you have played with or your friends and add them to your group with your own group name. Once you've established a clan you can challenge other clans for ranks and even bet on the outcome of the match. I want to recruit the best so I won't have to worry about how many times my teammates are dying or how many people that I have to heal. Man, I still can't believe that it gets put on store shelves tomorrow! I've waited so long, it almost feels like christmas all over again. And I have all weekend to beat people down and think about who of my friends are good enough to join my clan. Yet, I still need to think of a clan name. How about, "Hardcore7." I'm not sure yet but if you have any ideas you can pitch'em to me through your comments. I'm so extatic about this game, I can't wait until tomorrow! I hope my grades don't start dropping though.

March 13th, Another great Game

Another great game comes out on March 13th, 2009. This is said to be the biggest year of gaming yet and so far they ain't lying. 1st we kick off the new year with KILLZONE 2, F.E.A.R. 2, Street Fighter 4, and now we are being bombarded with another one, Resident Evil 5. I haven't been noticing, but I think that game devolopers believe that we are rich. I hope not, because their sales will start to go down releasing a big game right after another big game hits store shelves. I'm a huge gamer and I plan out what games I'm going to buy and how much time and money I'll have to save up to get it, but this is crazy releasing it the week after Killzone 2, something that all the PS3 fanboys will be all over for more than a simple week. Anyway, enough rambling about release dates, let's talk about the actual game itself. Resident Evil 5 is about returning fan favorite Chris Redfield being sent to Africa to investigate what is happening to the villagers. They've become violent, nothing but blank stares and ominous movements. Chris, being partnered up with a new character from the Resident Evil franchise, Sheva Alomar, they get down to the bottom of what horrible things are being done in Africa. If you don't know what Resident Evil is, (you've probably heard the title from a movie that was not very good) it originated as a survivol horror game produced by Capcom originally titled BioHazard. The original games were full of intense, heart pounding moments that will definately scare you and your friends at 3 in the morning with all the lights off. Then, sometime in 2004, Capcom broke off the old tradition of their very famous gameplay for a new way to play the series and came out with Resident Evil 4 which starred Leon S. Kennedy from Resident Evil 2. This game featured an over the shoulder camera and points on the body that if you shoot, the person would react. Resident Evil 4 was pronounced game of the year for its intense and refreshingly new direction. This time they're bringing that formula back, and now you can play with a partner! Chris and Sheva will have to be smart and work together to fend off the oncoming villagers that seem to be infected like the Las Plagas victims from the Kennedy report. I've played the demo with my friend and we're both very pleased on how well the game plays and how good it looks. This is definately the biggest year in gaming ever, probably after I get Resident Evil 5, I'll be righting another blog about another new game of 2009.

Febuary 27th, it's like Christmas all over again!

Man I really can't wait for Febuary 27th, because thats the day that the game I've been waiting all year for is coming out! I'm talking about Guerilla Studios Killzone 2. It is a FPS (First Person Shooter) that takes place in a fictional world of Helghan, home to the helghast, these people that wear all black army gear and have face masks with glowing red eyes. This IS the biggest game that is coming out for the PS3, since its highly rendered and highly controversal release trailer in 06's E3(Electronic Entertainment Expo) showing a beautifully rendered trailer that claimed that those were the actually graphics and gameplay in the upcoming game. Now that they actually released the demo, it is looking really close to that trailer. I've downloaded the demo and played the game and now I have two words for EVERYONE, HALO KILLER! Yeah I said it. The gameplay is fast paced, the graphics are beautiful, and the way the bullets sink into the enemy's body are just too satisfying that it should be illegal. Guerilla has created a new engine called Hit Response. Basically, they made over 1000 motion captured deaths, and mixed a lot of points on the body that if were shot, opened up a motion capture. It is possible to combine at least 3 motion captures with different hit points resulting in numerous satisfying deaths that you will never see twice. This game has a great physics engine also, the way that the environment reacts to buckets of bullets is amazing due to the fact that the frame rate of the game never slows down. They have got the physics down so good that if you shoot a propane tank once, it will spew out gas and roll around randomly and then explode. If you've never seen it, it's a marvel to look at. For PROOF of these physics and Hit Responses, look up on YOUTUBE.COM Ballet Of Bullets. It's a hit response and physics trailer that shows how well and how hard they worked on the game. It's one of the biggest and must buy games of 2009, its a must buy for any owner of the PS3, and I have a feeling that PS3's are going to start selling like hot cakes covered in crack. This is the big one! Is everyone ready? Cuz on Febuary 27th, its GAME ON! See you on 150 Player online multi-player!

Super Bowl XLIII

One of the Biggest games of the year. A game where you buy groceries and all the stuff you need to throw a huge party. Yes, I'm talking about the Super Bowl, Super Bowl XLIII to be exact. This years game was the Pittsburgh Steelers VS. the Arizona Cardinals. But, if you think this will be a story about how I spent my Super Bowl Sunday at a friends house and had a fun and loud time then you're wrong. I actually had to stay home during the Super Bowl to work on 2 projects that were due the day after. So while everyone from my family went to their friends or our cousin's house to get free food and watch the game, I was sitting alone in the living room watching the game in an empty, silent home and doing a poster board and typing up a paper. I know, thats a really boring way to spend your sunday especially when the Super Bowl is on. Oh well, I'd rather do work and watch the game by myself than sacrifice my grades for food and entertainment. But other than that, the game was really good. There was an amazing interception that was ran back from endzone to endzone from one of the steelers. And there was a very controversial touchdown, again from the Steelers where Santonio Holmes had brushed his two feet into the endzone before falling out. Personally i thought it was good, other people not as much. In the end the Steelers claim another glorious year, but it was a good fight from the Cardinals. I really wanted the Cardinals to win just because they're the underdogs, but everyone knew that the Steelers would take it. Oh well, maybe next year.
