Diablo III Gets A Release Date! March 17, 2012
The long wait is finally over! Blizzard has finally announced a release date for the long awaited Diablo III. It's been over a decade since Diablo II was released. I've been a fan of Diablo and Diablo II and have played them both a lot. Sadly, I only played as the Barbarian on Diablo and as the Barbarian and Necromancer on Diablo II. I never played as any other character. I still enjoyed the games. Now that the wait for a release date is finally over we can all sigh in relief in knowing that Diablo III is being released in two months. I and many other fans cannot wait to get our hands on this game. Knowing Blizzard's history with their games, I know it's going to be good. There are a few questions that I'm asking myself. Is Diablo III the final Diablo game Blizzard will make? If the series does end after Diablo III, what else does Blizzard have up their sleeve? What other cool ideas are Blizzard thinking of for the next best game franchise? Only time will tell.

007: Blood Stone Review March 16, 2012
The last time I played 007: Blood Stone was on 11-3-2010. I don't remember why exactly I returned the game to Gamefly but what I do know is I'm glad I rented it again cause I had a blast. The graphics are starting to show it's age. The controls are fantastic. What made me want to play Blood Stone again was the fact that James Bond now gets involved in hand to hand combat which has never been done before. Like Goldeneye Reloaded, you don't have grenades. The only gadget you have is your smart phone. The only weapons you have are the guns you pick up from enemies or the one you start with which is the P99 which comes with a silencer on some missions. The driving however is really bad in this game. I don't think I've played a game with worse vehicle controls than this game. The second an enemy touches your vehicle, you spin around. Once you spin around, you'll keep spinning until you stop. Most of the time, you have to turn around and keep going. But, once the spinning stops, you've lost the person you're chasing after. There were so many times where I tried to brake but I'd go flying off the docks into the water and I'd die. The brakes take too long to respond. It takes too long for your car to slow down so you can go around a corner.
The shootouts and fast pace of this game reminded me of Rogue Warrior. I've defeated most of the enemies with hand to hand combat. You can run up to a group of 3 enemies and perform your takedown on all of them one by one. The only problem is when you're performing a takedown, you don't take damage which is odd.
I can't comment on the multiplayer portion of the game since I don't have Xbox Live at the moment and I can't afford it right now.
If you're looking for a fast paced game with a lot of action I'd suggest this game. If you're a James Bond fan, I'd recommend you pick this up.

Far Cry 2 Review March 12, 2012
I've played Far Cry 2 before back on 11-11-2008. I decided to pick it up again to give it another chance and I managed to complete the entire game. First things first, the graphics. They are stunning. Even if this was a game made in 2008 the graphics are simply amazing. You basically choose from a variety of characters at the beginning of the game. You're put in Africa in the middle of an ongoing war between two factions. You have to complete jobs for both factions and they both don't know you're working for the other. The one thing I do have to complain about in this game is the constant killing of enemies and repairing my vehicle. I have no idea how many enemies I've killed because it's not listed in the stats. Gee, I wonder why.
Let me give you an idea of how bad the repairing of engines and killing enemy patrols is. Lets say you're on your way to work and it takes you an hour to get to work and an hour to get back from work. Every single block that you stop at, you have to get out of your car, shoot some thugs, repair your engine, get back in your car, drive to the next block and repeat the same thing you've just done. Now, imagine doing that on every block on the way to work and on the way home. I'm telling you. Not even 30 seconds goes by when I don't have to stop to kill some thugs and fix my damn vehicle before I can continue on.
There are other times where my weapons will jam every time I reload. So, in order to prevent my guns from jamming for a while is to drive all the way out to a firearms store and pick up some weapons off the walls. These guns are new and won't jam for a while. The problem is having to drive clear out to one of these stores to get a new weapon when your weapon starts to wear out. The driving is a nightmare. It will take you forever to get anywhere and the enemy spawning makes things worse.
The stealth aspect of Far Cry 2 is nonexistent. I have purchased silenced weapons and the camo suit which don't do anything. The first time I noticed the camo suit working was on the last mission. I crouched and moved pass a huge group of enemies and they never saw me. So much for spending 45 diamonds on a suit that only became useful at the very end of the game.
Also, if you haven't collected all of the weapons or diamonds by the end of the game, you're shit out of luck. You can't reload your save and play however you want. You need to get all of the collectibles before you complete the story.
The game is worth renting if you're a fan of the series but I'd say pass on it if you're just looking for another sandbox game. I'm not a fan of the Far Cry series. I like the multiplayer but that's it.
The only thing I'm hoping for right now is that they changed things dramatically with Far Cry 3.

The Saboteur Review March 9, 2012
I picked up The Saboteur cause it was the last game Pandemic made before EA closed them down. EA almost didn't release this. If I were them, I would've cancelled this piece of crap too. When I first started playing, it seemed like every other sandbox game. It's an open world and you go and do missions for people. You have to infiltrate bases in while wearing a disguise. It's like Hitman where you knock out an enemy, steal his disguise, and sneak in. In this game, the disguises are useless. On the radar. You show up as a white circle with a black dotted circle around you. If any Nazi gets into the black dotted circle, their suspicion level will go up. If it goes up too high, you're cover is blown. I have had a very hard time trying to get into top secret areas to complete my objective because there would be two or three enemies walking together in your direction and they'll just keep walking back and forth. You sneak past them only to have a guard on the right or left right walk up to you right as the 3 guards in front of you walk away. It takes forever for them to turn around and walk away that by the time they turn around, the 3 guys in front of me are walking in my general direction again! If I try to shoot everyone, I'll get killed instantly making shoot outs pointless.
Another problem I have is you can't run or jog. If you jog or run, your black dotted circle gets bigger and the Nazis will get suspicious of you. This means you'll have to do a LOT of walking just to get somewhere. You're guy walks so slowly which makes things worse.
There was another thing that pissed me off about this game. That was the DLC you have to buy if you want to see the nudity in the game. Some people have stated that the nudity is a key thing in the game which I think is a load of crap. Anyway, why is it that I could see nudity in The Godfather 2 and not this? It's a scam to get your money! I didn't give EA a penny for their DLC.
Overall, the game is really bad. I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for another sandbox game. It's very frustrating.

Medal of Honor: Airborne Review March 8, 2012
I've been a huge fan of the Medal of Honor series for quite a while. I played Medal of Honor on the Playstation, Medal of Honor: Frontlines, and Medal of Honor: Rising Sun. When I tried out the demo for Medal of Honor: Airborne, it seemed like a great game to buy. This was before I had Gamefly so I bought most of my games instead of renting them. It's games like this that make me wish I had Gamefly back then. Medal of Honor is NOT a good game at all. It is infested with glitches and bugs. There have been so many instances where I'd be aiming my weapon at an enemy and I fire. I don't do any damage to him. I stop firing and then start firing again in the exact same area. I never moved my cross chairs. Then, I start hitting the enemy and doing damage. This happens constantly! There were instances where I threw a grenade at a group of enemies and it exploded killing one enemy except for the two enemies that were right next to him. So, I know for a fact that the grenades in this game are useless.
Here are some other instances where the game is obviously broken or very poorly designed:
- I was playing on Operation Neptune and I fired a rocket from a Panzerschreck at an enemy and the rocket actually flew through his head.
- I was playing on Operation Market Garden and I fired a rocket at the wall next to the enemies on several occasions. They weren't harmed by the explosions caused by the impact of the rockets.
- The AI in this game is really bad. There has NEVER been a moment where my teammates don't get right in my line of fire when I'm aiming down the sights to shoot the Nazis. I swear, they will literally get into your line of sight blocking your line of sight on purpose. This has happened throughout the entire game.
- What is the point of having the AI with me if they're just going to shoot at thin air or walls? They never kill enemies with their guns. The only time I've seen them kill enemies is when they rush them and melee them. That's it.
- There are other times where the AI does absolutely nothing! They just stand there like idiots expecting you to do all of the work.
- I was on Operation Market Garden one time working on upgrading the Panzerschreck and there was a tank at the end of the level I was firing my rockets at. There was also a Nazi to the left at a fort shooting at me. I was explicitly told that using my rifle against the tank wouldn't work but my AI for some reason shoots at the tank with his rifle ignoring the Nazi to the left in the fort who is shooting at me.
- There are instances where during the briefings or any other period time where the characters talk. The subtitles will drop in the middle of the briefing or conversation. This is unacceptable because I depend on subtitles. Sometimes the subtitles will be fine then they will drop out in the middle then appear again at the end of the conversation.
- The AI on my team will literally run into gunfire and get themselves killed. This happens all the time. There are other instances where my allies will run past Nazis and the Nazis completely ignore them and shoot at me. My allies leave me there doing all of the work!
- I played on the Der Flankturm level and fired a Panzerschreck rocket behind a Storm Elite and it exploded doing no damage. The rocket literally went between his legs and exploded right behind him. No effect! I fired a second rocket at him and hit him in the chest and finally killed him.
I'm glad I got this game out of the way and was able to review after owning for so long. The last time I played it was 3-14-2008. This is one of the worst WW2 games I have ever played in my life. I have enjoyed every other WW2 game I've played except this one.
If you like games that are full of game breaking glitches and bugs and AI that will drive you crazy, pick up this game.

Darksiders Review March 1, 2012
I rented Darksiders after a friend recommended it to me. The idea of playing as one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse sounded interesting but when I started playing I immediately didn't like the story and I didn't like War. I thought the game would be about me going out and wrecking havoc on Earth and bringing about the apocalypse. Instead, we get a story about some demon who has betrayed the counsel. The counsel are the people who balance things between and Heaven and Hell. Anyway, they send you to find out who's responsible and bring them to justice. I remember the graphics. Oh man. Everything was jagged. Nothing looked smooth. I watched a cut scene where War jumps across ledges to jump out of a building. What would happen is War would run and he would run up against a wall that reaches a height no higher than his ankle and he runs up against this wall for a few seconds and then jumps. I couldn't believe what I was witnessing in that cut scene. It showed me that the developers were lazy and they didn't even test this game out before they released it.
Most of the puzzles were very easy to figure out until I reached one puzzle that caused me to send the game back. I was at this door at a long hallway. There was a bomb down below and behind me, to the left is another door. You go into that door and run a little bit to the right and there's another bomb. You must throw a bomb at the enemy that's guarding the door. It's a plant or something that sticks out of the ceiling that will grab you and will strangle you or something. Anyway, I tried delivering the bomb from the top floor but it exploded before I had a chance to reach the first door to continue down the path to reach the second door where the enemy was. I tried throwing the bomb from the bottom floor up but I couldn't. My character just tossed it forward repeatedly. There was no way I could throw the bomb up in the air at the enemy above guarding the door. So, I just gave up and sent this game back to Gamefly. There is no way I'm going to pick up Darksiders 2. I'm glad I had a chance to try this out though.
I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone. The story is bad, the graphics are horrendous, the characters are unlikable, and the cut scenes are terrible.

WWE '12 Review February 29, 2012
WWE '12 looked like it would be a fun wrestling game. I have never played any of the Smackdown vs Raw games or any other wrestling games except for a few on the Playstation and N64. There were only 3 wrestling games I enjoyed. WWF Warzone for the N64, WCW vs NWO World Tour for the N64, and WCW vs NWO Revenge for the N64. Every other game was just boring or the AI was cheap and would win all the time.
For WWE '12, the AI, like always, is cheap. If you try to perform a reversal to stop them from performing a move on you, you'll fail in stopping it. The timing for stoping the reversal is basically a split second. You miss it, you fail. Out of all of the reversals I've had done on me, I'd say I've reversed about 30% of them while I failed to reverse the other 70%. The AI's reversal settings, etc. can be changed in the options menu. You can change the reversal rate to low or high or whatever you want it on. Trust me, if you want to win this game, turn it all the way down to low if you want a chance. The online wasn't very fun. There was a lot of lag which was disappointing. What was fun about multiplayer was seeing all fo the custom superstars that people have created. The very first match I played, I was up againts 5 other people and one of them was dressed up as Hunter Thompson which made me laugh.
I'd say this game is a rent but not worth buying cause the online has too much lag.

Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon Review February 25, 2012
Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon looked like it'd be a fun mindless shooter where you kill giant bugs. It looked like a game I could spend hours playing but unfortunately, that time was short lived. Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon turned out to be a game that you will only want to play through once and never touch again. I played through the single player and completed the game. When I went back to do my clean up to grab some Achievements, I was bored. I didn't have any desire to play anymore. It's too bad. This game could've been much better if the developers spent more time developing a better story. The story is, you play as an elite squad in the military trained to deal with alien invasions. In this game's case, an invasion of giant ants, spiders, wasps, and ticks. There were only 4 types of enemies to kill and that was it. They could've done more with this but I guess the developers were lazy.
This game might be good for kids who will never get tired of doing the same thing over and over. As for everyone else, pass on it.

Need For Speed: Carbon Review February 20, 2012
Need For Speed: Carbon seemed like a cool game to play. I played Need For Speed: Most Wanted. In fact, Need For Speed: Most Wanted was the first Need For Speed game I had played and I enjoyed it. It was a fun game. Carbon on the other hand was not an enjoyable game. The game was very frustrating. I have had trouble with the boss Angie. I couldn't beat her on the canyon race. There are two types of races you must complete in order to defeat the boss. The first type is a race through the city. After that you have to race the boss on the canyon. When you start the first portion of the race on the canyon, you have to stay as close to the boss as possible to score points. On the second portion, you have to stay as far away from the boss as possible. If you run out of points before you hit the finish line, it's game over. I have tried repeatedly to beat Angie at the canyon race but failed. I deleted my save and started up a new game. This time, with exotics. I beat Wolf and claimed every piece of territory.
Then, another race showed up on the map. A race called Race Wars which consisted of 20 cars which includes yours. You have to reach 1st place and win the match. I have tried to beat the Race Wars but I have failed. When you beat a normal race, you are awarded $5,000. If you beat it again, you get $500. Yes, you get $500. The races are worthless now cause it'll take forever for the player to get the money to boost up their car. In Need For Speed: Most Wanted, you didn't have this problem. You could do the race repeatedly and still receive the same amount of money every time. The one thing that angers me about racing games is the rubber band AI. Every racing game has this. It's when the computer detects that you're losing so it activates it's own cheat to boost it's top speed so you lose.
If you like racing games where the AI is given the ability to cheat by developers cause they're too lazy to make their AI a good driver, rent this game. If not, pass it up.

GoldenEye: Reloaded Review February 15, 2012
GoldenEye: Reloaded is nothing like the N64 version except for a few things here and there. I'd say that the remake is not worth renting cause it's very frustrating. You play as 007 as usual but instead of having Pierce Brosnan and the other original actors reprise their roles, you have Daniel Craig and a bunch of other voice actors. This was the first thing about the game that disappointed me. It would've been cool if Pierce Brosnan and every other cast member reprised their roles.
The game is pretty frustrating on the harder difficulties. I made it halfway through on 007 Classic difficulty. I quit on Achieves cause the game was getting frustrating. I entered a room on Achieves and I killed maybe 5 enemies right? I take one step, two more enemies appear. I kill them. Then, I take another step and guess what? Two more appear! Why couldn't the developers just put a certain amount in a room for me to kill and then allow me to move on?
I completed the game on Agent and then sent the game back. I read stories about how people have had trouble killing Alec at the end and I wasn't going to put myself through the trouble of spending approximately six hours trying to beat a boss. My time is better spent just sending the game back and playing something else.
I haven't been able to try out the multiplayer cause nobody was on. I guess everyone's too busy playing Modern Warfare 3. Oh well.
If you're a fan of the N64 GoldenEye you might like it. If you're a fan of 007 games then you should rent this and try it out.

Rogue Warrior Reivew February 11, 2012
Rogue Warrior looked like an interesting game on Gamefly even though almost all of the reviews said it was a piece of crap. Some games that are crap are a gem for some people. This game was fun cause of the ways you execute your opponents. The executions were what lead me to rent this game and try it out. The game is VERY EASY. I unlocked all of the single player Achievements in one day. The AI is so stupid. Sometimes, when you see a soldier and walk up to them and stand there, they won't even know that you're there. They're that stupid. They can't hear you at all. They can see you which isn't a bad thing. The protagonist is based on a real life Navy SEAL named David Marcinko. If you don't know who that is, you should read up on him. He's quite fascinating to read about. I couldn't access online cause nobody was on. My friend and I were planning to boost for MP Achievements but it turns out you need 4 people in a lobby to even play the game online. We were disappointed. I just completed the single player on all difficulties and sent the game back to Gamefly.
I'd say it's worth renting for the Achievement points but that's it.

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Review February 6, 2012
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows turned out to be a very fun but kind of frustrating video game. As usual, you play as Spider-Man and you have to stop Venom from infesting the whole city with his Symbiote. But, you can also take on the villain role and let the city become overrun by symbiote, destroy Venom, and have the whole city at your fingertips. You can't order the symbiote to do anything. You just end up evil and destroying the city.
The game was pretty fun. The combat is simple. The Achievements are very easy. You have to play through the story twice for for of them. Just reload your save to unlock the other two story Achievements. Web swinging like Spider-Man 3 in my opinion is still fun to do. The game is basically a beat'em up action adventure game. There were a few frustrating enemies like the mech and the electrolyte symbiotes. These two enemies had no pattern. They'd keep launching attacks at you nonstop. I'm surprised I didn't even die when I encountered them. They're frustrating to deal with but once you get them out of the way you'll feel relieved. The boss fight at the end is easy if you just jump kick the heads. The timing for the other method where you press Y mid-air to launch yourself over to the head and then press Y again to land on it and attack it is impossible to perform. The amount of time you get is a second and then you lose the opportunity to attack the venom heads. Just jump kick them all. It'll take longer but it'll save you the headache from the timing which is impossible to get down.
I'd say rent this game if you're a fan of Spider-Man games.

Bayonetta Review February 5, 2012
Bayonetta turned out to be a very frustratingly hard game. It was recommended to me by a friend. The game is really hard. It's hard on Normal. You basically play as a witch who goes around killing angels. The concept sounded cool but the game was badly executed. I played the game on normal and made it to chapter 6 before I quit the game. It was too hard. I know I'm supposed to expect to die a lot in video games but when you have to deal with enemies that drain of you of your health so fast it's impossible to keep playing. Also, the boss fights were ridiculous too. Almost every enemy you encounter is basically a mini-boss. Sometimes, there are two of them. After you kill the first two, two more will appear when you're very low on health and almost out of magic. It's not fair. The mini-bosses were too hard to kill. Most of the time I died trying to kill them. It's like the developers decided, "He should be low on health and magic by now. Lets throw two more of these mini-bosses at him and see how he does. Lets see how frustrated we can make him." I feel like a lab rat and the developers are laughing their heads off!
If you're into challenging games then this game's for you. If not, pass it up.

Splatterhouse Review January 26, 2012
Splatterhouse turned out to be one of the best games I've played on the Xbox 360 so far. My friend recommended it to me and I'm glad he did. This game was really fun. I have never played the original Splatterhouse games but I'm sure this game will satisfy a lot of the fans of the originals. This game is for those who want to do nothing but slash and kill and spray blood all over the walls, screen, floor, all over their character, etc. It's a gorefest! The game is spectacular. It's a very easy game to beat. All of the Achievements are very easy to unlock. The difficulties are all the same. You just get more damage dealt to you but if you play it smart and know exactly which abilities to use, you should be able to breeze through the game without any problems.
If you're a fan of the original Splatterhouse games, you'll like this one.

Super Street Fighter IV Review January 24, 2012
Super Street Fighter IV turned out to be one of the WORST fighting games I've rented this year. I thought that it'd be fun like the old Street Fighter games that I played on my Super Nintendo. Apparently, I was wrong. Why does there need to be fancy combos and fancy moves that are impossible to perform unless you have a fight pad? Why do I need to spend $50-$200 on a fight pad just to perform a majority of the moves to do the maximum damage possible to defeat my opponent quickly? It is impossible to perform most of these moves. I spent approximately 4 hours in the tutorials trying to learn some of these moves but the controls were confusing. They didn't explain exactly what direction you were supposed to move the joystick in order to perform the move. There's a black circle and a few red zigzag lines. That's all there is. I have looked for countless guides online explaining what in the world I had to do but was unsuccessful because it was the exact same circle with the zigzag red lines.
I did beat the game on easy. I tried to beat the game on normal difficulty but it was impossible because of Seth. This guy is a cheap skate and will use 3 of his combo moves to defeat you within a matter of seconds. You'll lose every time. Seth used the exact same 3 moves repeatedly to defeat me! I haven't played the game online cause I sent the game back after spending the 4 hours on the tutorials.

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Review January 16, 2012
I remember when I first heard of a remake of the old Halo being redone. I was excited about a remake. When I popped in the disc and played the game I thought it was cool how they added new graphics. The game was fun for a while until I put on the old graphics and then I remembered why I didn't remember anything from Halo at all. The only thing I remembered was killing my troops out of boredom. I remember looking at the old graphics and thinking, "Geez! They were really lazy when they made this game weren't they?" I mean, everything looks like plain. There's grass, a few trees, etc. That's pretty much all there is to look at. Everything looks bland with the old graphics. Perfect Dark for the N64 had better graphics than this game.
Now, for the online. The online is not worth playing cause the online lags constantly. I remember being halfway through the game with my friend when we both decided forget it and we got rid of the game. I sent my copy back to Gamefly and he sold his copy to Gamestop. The campaign is impossible to complete alone. You need somebody there to help you out otherwise you'll constantly die. Like Halo: Reach, this is what killed the single player campaign for me.
There are a few maps for online but that's it. I think there's like 7 MP maps which is a disappointment. I never really got into the MP for this game so I can't comment on anything else.
If you're thinking of buying or renting Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, I'd say pass up on it. It's not worth the headaches from dealing with the online lag, frustratingly hard single player, etc.

LEGO: Pirates of the Caribbean Review January 14, 2012
LEGO: Pirates of the Caribbean was a pretty fun game. Just like every other LEGO game that has been released, it has issues. I have completed the whole game and all I can say is I didn't have any problems till I tried to grab all of the collectibles in Free Play. The game constantly froze when I collected 9/10 of the mini-kits. I have tried to collect the mini-kits on Act 1 Part 3 twice before I decided that I was wasting my time. The game is fun for kids. If they have seen the movies and liked them, they'll like the game. I'd say you should rent it for the story and then just send it back. The freezing while collecting the mini-kits and other collectibles is not worth it.

Scr4am Review January 5, 2012
Scream 4 turned out to be one of the worst horror movies I've seen in a while. At the beginning, it started pretty good. It starts with Sidney coming back to the town where the murders occurred and it happens right on the anniversary of the killings. Again, there's a murderer on the loose who wears the trademark Ghostface mask and goes on a killing spree killing teenagers.
The next couple of paragraphs will feature spoilers so don't read if you don't want to be spoiled.
The movie looks good but as soon as you watch it for a while, you'll begin to experience deja vu. There are certain scenes that are redone. There are a few examples that I can list.
1. The scene where the girl talks to the killer as the boyfriend sits in the chair beaten and tied to a chair. This scene is recreated. It was at this scene that I knew exactly who the killer was. The girl runs outside to rescue her boyfriend after she thinks she beat the killer. I knew the guy in the chair was the killer. I mean, she runs out there and nobody is around to kill her. It was her boyfriend who was the killer. He even stabs her after she unties him.
2. The kitchen scene from the first movie is filmed in the kitchen in what looks like the same damn house. I shit you not, it's the same house. Sidney's cousin is jealous of her cause she wrote books and got famous so she went out and killed people. She even killed her own mother and was planning to kill Sidney so she could get famous. Anyway, the stabbing, like the first one, occured in this movie except it's different. She just stabs him once in the heart to kill him then runs into a wall to get the knife in while it's pointed at her.
When Sidney's cousin explains to her why she killed everybody she said she was jealous that Sidney was getting all of the attention. So all of the killings were about a jealous rage that the cousin had? What a stupid reason to go around killing everyone. She even thought that she could be famous like Sidney if she killed a bunch of people that also included her own mother and Sidney. At the very end of the movie she got her wish. She's famous but only because she was a serial killer.
The whole movie was a mess. By the time I was finished with it, I was glad it was over.

Mindjack Review January 5, 2012
Mind jack turned out to be a very bad game. When I first viewed the game play videos on Game fly it looked like a cool game. Mind jacking into your enemy and killing his own people while the two protagonists stay behind cover and distract them right? Wrong. It's a lot more complicated than that. The two protagonists always charge in and never stay in cover. You can only mind jack one and not the other. You cannot mind jack your enemies unless you drain them of about 75% of their health making Mind jacking useless. Another thing that makes mind jacking useless is that as soon as you mind jack the enemy, they know it's you so they proceed to shoot at you until they kill you. The only things you can mind jack instantly without doing any damage are idle machines that don't fire or civilians armed with only a pistol.
The weapons you use are very weak too. The pistols you use only fire like every second. You fire, wait, then fire again. You can't press the fire button rapidly hoping to get a bunch of shots off. If you try that, it won't work. You're wasting your time. The assault rifles are useless too. You have to fire 10 sometimes 15 times at an enemy's head just for that enemy to go down. The pistols take out your enemy in 1 to 3 shots. If I get a head shot in every other normal game, I can down them in 1 shot. Why isn't that available here?
I almost completed the game but decided to send the game back because the AI on my team is stupid. He or she, most of the time she, just stands there like an idiot while the enemies fire at him/her and kill him/her. I was on a level where I had to kill a bunch of snipers and soldiers at the docks. There were two mechanical robots that were flying over to where I was and my enemy just stood there ignoring them while they proceeded to shoot and me and kill me.
The mind jacking is stupid, the weapons are weak, and the AI on your team is nonexistent. This game is also a co-op game. You can play with somebody online. It's probably the only way you'll win cause the AI obviously can't do what it's programmed to do.
The concept of the game was a good idea. It was just badly executed.

Lets Talk About Movies - Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever December 29, 2011
I know a lot of people hated both of the Cabin Fever movies. Some like the first but hate the second. I love the first one but I only find the 2nd one fun to watch as a gore flick. There's not mystery when it comes to the second movie.
As I was watching Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever I was amazed at how they portrayed the hazmat team as heartless people who kill anyone who has come in contact with anyone infected with the deadly bacteria that's killing everybody at the high school. It doesn't matter to them whether you're infected or not. Why would they take the chance of letting somebody go who claims he/she's not infected but he/she IS, in fact infected? They need to make sure everybody is contained. Don't let anyone escape. If they are infected and they don 't know it, the whole thing will spread and there will be a hell of an outbreak. Then, the government is screwed.
I just love how they go around shooting people and the movie paints them out to be horrible people. Well, the person is infected with an incurable disease and he/she is obviously in a lot of pain so to ease their suffering, there's a quick way to take them out, a head shot. There is nothing else than can do.
There is also another thing about this movie that I love. The protagonist in this movie is constantly bullied. The teachers and principal witness it and know about it but blame the person who provoked him. I'm actually glad they have this in the movie. Why? To show the truth. Who gets off the hook and who gets punished in the real world. I should know. I've been bullied for two years of high school and nobody did shit. The schools don't give a damn about you or me.
The one question I've been pondering is how does the government plan to clean up the mess at the high school? There are bodies everywhere, there's blood everywhere. The bacteria is everywhere. How do they plan to clean this all up? I guess that's a question nobody can answer. Not even the director can answer that question and he's the one who directed the damn movie!
I really like this movie. It's a good flick to watch if you're into gory horror movies.

Dead Island Review December 28, 2011
Dead Island turned out to be one of those games that's good at the beginning but gets tedious and frustrating as you continue to play. When I first started playing, I almost sent the game back to Gamefly after15 minutes of walking around looking for something to do. I decided to keep the game for a while to give it a second chance. What a mistake I made. When the game first starts out you get to choose your character from one of 4 classes. A firearms expert, a blunt weapons expert, a throwing weapons expert, and a sharp weapons expert. I picked weapons expert which was a mistake cause there are almost no guns in the game whatsoever.
As I progressed, I have only picked up 3 guns. 2 pistols and during a mission which caused me to send the game back, an assault rifle with only 23 bullets in it. I was on Chapter 5. You don't get full access to a gun store until chapter 15. Why did the developers include a firearms expert if I'm only allowed to use firearms so late in the game? It doesn't make any sense.
The melee weapons you use are stronger than the firearms anyway. You score a head shot on a zombie and they're still alive. You have to shoot them about 4 or 5 times in the head until their head explodes to officially kill them.
Your character swings melee weapons very slowly too. It's amazing I made it as far as I did. I've been updating my tree so I'm strong so don't worry about that. There are instances where you'll be surrounded by 5 or 6 zombies at a time and you'll die instantly. You don't stand a chance.
The graphics are stunningly beautiful. They paid a lot of attention to detail but hardly any attention to combat.
I was in the middle of a mission where I had to escort a survivor but he kept dying so I sent the game back to Gamefly. The game is very frustrating. If you don't want to be frustrated, pass on this one.

The Three Stooges Trailer Has Been Released! December 8, 2011
How many of you remember watching The Three Stooges on TV when you were kids? Well, I am 26 and I remember seeing movies of The Three Stooges but I only remember bits and pieces that are played on TV to remind us of the good old days where comedy didn't rely solely on fart jokes and fat people falling down. Back then, Looney Tunes and The Three Stooges were considered controversial for it's time. Now, it's nothing compared to the stuff that's on TV now.
Anyway, when I saw the trailer, a piece of me died inside. This movie looks really stupid. The actors look like they're just doing impressions and they costumes they wear look they're attending a Halloween party. They are introduced to the modern world today and it looks terrible. The Three Stooges should have stayed in the olden days and not revitalized and brought to 2011.
There was also another bit in the trailer where one of the Stooges pokes Snooki's eyes. Who is Snooki you ask? She's the dumb bimbo on the reality show Jersey Shore that plays on MTV. I can't believe they would cast somebody like her in this movie. I will NEVER see this movie. Nothing looked funny. At first, I wanted to see it because Will Sasso was in it because he was excellent on MAD TV. After seeing the trailer, there is no way in hell I'm seeing this!
You can watch the trailer here.

The Murder of John Lennon - 31 Years Later December 8, 2011
Today is a day that we get to remember musician John Lennon for inspiring us with his music. I wasn't even born when he died but I love his music. I grew up listening to all sorts of artists in the back of the car growing up. The artist were Ozzy Osbourne, Led Zeppelin, Def Leopard, Van Halen, The Beatles, Collective Soul, and many others. There was only one musician that inspired me and that was John Lennon. His music, his message, his protests, etc. He was a very unique person. There will never be another artist like him again.
Thank you Mr. Lennon for inspiring millions of people like myself with your music, your message, and your protests. My favorite music video would have to be Imagine. You can view it here.

Saints Row: The Third Review November 24, 2011
Saints Row: The Third may seem like it's better than it's predecessor Saints Row 2 but it's far from better. In fact, I'd say it's more of a step back from Saints Row 2. I'm not here to complain about the lack of multiplayer because after playing the multiplayer for Saints Row 2, it turned out to be a disaster.
Saints Row The Third's story has you start out at the top of world. You're now the leader of the Third Street Saints. You have your own media company, energy drinks, the Third Street Saints are creating their own movies, etc. The game basically gives you everything. Well, not everything. There are other gangs who are after the Saints power. These gangs are the Deckers, Luchradores, and the Syndicate. They feel that the Saints have too much power and now they want a piece of the action.
You start out in Steelport, home to the Syndicates. It seems like you're at the top of the world but that doesn't last because you lose all of your funds. Now, you have to work your way up to restore the power to where it belongs, to the Third Street Saints. In order to achieve this, you must complete missions which will reward you with weaponry, cars, jets, etc.
There is a cool feature that I like in Saints Row The Third and that is the upgrade option. You can upgrade your cars, gangs, strongholds, how much damage your character can withstand.
The activities have changed as well. You don't do several activities and level up from easy to hard. You just select an activity, complete it once and you're done. This doesn't really make me happy because the activities are too easy and once you complete it once, it's done. You can replay activities but you no longer level up which is a disappointment.
There is a jet that I love from Saints Row: The Third. It's the V-TOL. This jet has two functions. You can fly or you can hover. It also has two weapons. A laser which will fry everything or you can use missiles. I don't think I've ever had fun with a jet as much as I have now. Not even the jet from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was this much fun to use.
I don't have much to say about the game but that it's a step back from Saints Row 2 when it comes to fun stuff to do because the story was short and there isn't much to do in Steelport once you complete everything. I still have things I have to work on like Survival and some challenges.
I'd say that this game is worth buying only if you're a fan but if you're just going to pick it up for Achievements and then move on, I'd say rent it.

Gears of War Review November 23, 2011
I have just played the first Gears of War after loving Gears of War 3. I first played Gears of War 5 years ago and I hated it. I never completed the first act because I ran out of ammo near one of the fountain battles and died repeatedly. After constant nagging from a very good Xbox LIVE friend I finally picked up Gears of War 3 and was impressed at how fun the game was. I first met my Xbox LIVE friend on the game Rainbow Six Vegas when I was farming XP on Dante's so I could get to Elite. He happened to pop in the room and asked if anyone in the room was deaf. I told him I was hard of hearing and asked if I could join the Xtreme Deaf Gamers and he said yes. We've been friends ever since.
Anyway, the first Gears of War turned out to be a disaster and I was quickly reminded why I sent it back. First, lets start with the AI. The AI for your team is worthless. You give them constant orders to attack the enemy and they do nothing. The enemy AI is smart as fuck and they know how to flank, etc. Your teammates on the other hand just run into battle sometimes only to be downed. I remember when I was playing ACT 2 and there is an enemy known as the Kryll. These pesky little rats won't attack if you're in light cause they hate light for some reason. I was playing with the AI on casual and my AI partner just stays in the dark. He never stays right behind me where he should . So, he died repeatedly.
This brings me to another problem. You'll probably never beat the game by yourself on Casual. You'll need a friend to help you beat the game. Also, since this game requires constant communication it's kind of annoying for deaf gamers to play cause you can't maintain constant communication. I'm hard of hearing and my friends on Xbox LIVE are deaf, well, the ones I play with. Most of the friends I have, I don't play with anymore which is sad. I only play with my deaf friends now. The reason this is a problem is because the game developers thought it was a good idea to separate us human players with the worthless AI player that doesn't serve any purpose at all. He's just there. This results in one or the other dying because you have no idea what the other player is doing.
Checkpoints are another problem. There are too little checkpoints. When you reach one checkpoint, it'll take you forever to reach the next one which means you'll have to sometimes repeat whole sections repeatedly just to progress through the game. Also, the levels are too damn long. I swear every level takes at least 15 minutes to complete. The developers thought it'd be a good idea to make 5 levels per act and make them ridiculously long instead of creating multiple levels and making them shorter and easier to complete.
The boss fight at the end is one of the most ridiculous boss fights I've encountered in a video game. It takes place on a train and there are several areas with light and the boss has Kryll surrounding him which he sends out to attack you. There are also Kryll swarming all over the place in the sky. If you don't get to light soon, you're a dead man! It took me 4 or 5 tries to beat General RAMM with my friend. Others were not so fortunate. I have read player reviews on Gamespot and some of have said they had to retry over 20 times.
The difficulty at the end of the game has been jacked up. I hate it when this happens. EA is known for doing this with all of their games. Why can't video game companies just leave the difficulty alone? If I want to play on Casual, keep it casual! Don't switch it up to Hardcore or Insane!
Overall, the game is bad. I would say it's only worth playing through once for the story. I'm not going to even bother trying online again because to me, it's just not worth it. I give the game 3 stars out of 10.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising Review July 28, 2011
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is unlike any first person shooter you have ever played. If you are a Halo or COD fan, I would suggest you stay away from this one because this game is nothing like that. The game is really hard even on normal. The game is basically a first person shooter where you command your squad like the Rainbow Six series but with a more complicated setup of orders to give to your troops.
You will be spending all of your time killing enemies from over 200, 300, 400, or even 500 feet away from you. When I played this game, I spent all of my time sniping. The game may seem boring because you can't kill your enemies up close and personal like Halo or COD but that's a good thing. This game teaches you to your head and think to stay alive.
The damage in this game is pretty realistic. You get shot in the leg, you can't run, you get shot in the arm, you can't aim properly, you get shot in the head, well, sometimes you'll die and sometimes you'll live. You have to be very careful about running around in the open because any bullet can the one bullet that will finally put an end to your life. Expect to die in this game a lot because this game isn't easy at all.
I have managed to acquire all of the Achievements except one which is to play on Hardcore. I have to wait until I go online and play with my friends. I know for a fact that Hardcore will be very difficult. Normal was hard enough to get through.
Most levels you will be spending about a half an hour trying to get through the levels because you do have to take your time and be smart. If you don't do these two things, you'll die quickly.
I would recommend this game to those who want to try something new. If you are a Halo fanboy or COD fanboy and love those shooters, I'd recommend you skip this series. But, if you're getting sick of those two games, then go on ahead and try this game out.

Say Good-Bye To Guitar Hero For Good! February 16, 2011
Apparently, the news is Activision has killed the Guitar Hero franchise and True Crime. I have never been a fan of Guitar Hero or Rock Band or any of the other interactive music games that have been created. The reason I am not interested in it is because you GH and RB fans could have saved your money, purchased a real guitar, and learned to play the real thing and make up your own songs. Instead, you pissed all your money away on a plastic controller shaped like a guitar with 4 or 5 colorful buttons on it.
Don't get me wrong, I've played Guitar Hero once when I saw it at Wal-mart. Yeah, my father and I played it for 5 seconds! To us, it was a complete waste of time and money.
Anway, the reason Activision has decided to kill Guitar Hero is because they say they are running out of songs in the rock genre. Well, you can only use so many rock songs before you run out. Well, the good ones from the good bands. Nobody else gives a shit about the shitty bands.
Activision, if you are reading this, if you are for real about killing Guitar Hero permanently, I thank you so much. Hopefully kids out there will put down their plastic guitars and save up their money for the real thing. We can only hope. You can read more here.

Leslie Nielsen, 84, Has Died November 28, 2010
Today is a very sad day for us spoof comedy fans. Another spoof legend has passed away. That legend happened to be Leslie Nielsen. He was well known for his roles in Airplane!, The Naked Gun Series, Police Squad, Dracula Dead and Loving It!, Wrongfully Accused, and a whole lot of other spoof movies that he has done in his 60 year span as an actor. The only dramatic role that I've seen him in was Forbidden Planet which, sadly, put me to sleep about half-way through. A friend of mine told me it was a horror film but I thought it was boring and I usually like horror films from the 40s and 50s.
It was reported that Leslie Nielsen died after staying at the hospital for 12 days. He died of complications of pneumonia. He was 84.

Video Games Make You Look/Act Cool November 17, 2010
According to an article in the Chicago Tribune, playing video games will make you even cooler than you are now. The article says:
The survey of 4,028 teens found that playing video games didn't lead to unhealthy behaviors in boys, who accounted for the majority of gamers in the study. But 5% who reported "problematic" or addictive gaming habits were more likely to smoke cigarettes, use drugs and get into serious fights.
Everyone knows that people who smoke and get into "serious fights" are cooler than most people. Just look at Fight Club. Those guys were way cool. Because they smoked and got into "serious fights." So, take it from the Chicago Tribune, kids, if you want to be cool, play video games!

New WoW Cataclysm Trailer! November 16, 2010
I haven't been able to find the Cataclysm trailer I saw last night twice on TV so I found this one. I only have one level 80 and that is my Blood Elf DK. I don't have any other 80s. Just low levels that I never bother to level cause I'm having too much fun being a DK. After I built my new computer, I was amazed at how much the graphics improved with my new video card. But, after seeing the trailer for the upcoming Cataclysm, I can't wait to see what the graphics are going to look like now.

The Japanese Love A Hologram November 12, 2010
According to this YouTube video, the Japanese are one step closer to creating a form of artificial life that we can screw. This is one of the hottest pop stars in Japan and she happens to be a hologram. It's actually pretty amazing. But not nearly as amazing as my biceps.
