Surfing the WiFi

I am at home right now and planning to see Harry Potter tomorrow, it looks Action Packed! and Stupendous! as well as Magical!...whoops sorry I was reading the reviews at the same time as typing. But seriously it looks good despite the gaping hole that was the Head of Hogwarts. Why did that old uy have to die?! Why?!!
Anyways Xbox 360 comes out on the 22nd and I gotta tell ya it looks pretty nice, if you go to your local Best Buy or Future Shop you can see for yourself. Kameo has been a long time coming but for what I played it was worth it. King Kong looks spectacular on the system and Perfect Dark just maybe revived as a franchise. Personally I like the look of Xbox 360 and the potential Next Gen "Halo", Gears of War, but my money is waiting for PS3. Unless I get Xbox 360 as a present or my stock investments explode with profits PS3 is what I want. The potential of their Cell chip technology is just huge and anything that the Xbox 360 will have towards the middle or end of its life will probably look like the first games for PS3.
I put my $20 on Sony so Until Next.

I'm Makin' Movies Baby!

If you were keeping track you will know that last week The Movies came out, and most likely if you called ahead to the store and asked if they had it they responded, " Ok, what movies are you lookin for?" I recommend specifying that you are looking for a game before saying The Movies because you will get this response. Already I have released 2 movies on The Movies community website. I currently have a comedy and a thriller in the works both of which I am fine tuning scenes and figuring out how to best work the audio or just how to work the audio. The comedy is called "Homes of the Millionaire" and with the dialogue thats in my head I think its hilarious. The thriller is called "Fade Out" and it involves a man that is having flashbacks or premenitions of the future you find out towards the end. Both I think will be good but it is hard to get your movies noticed when every hour 20+ are uploaded by people. Check out the 2 I have uploaded, "Race without End" and "DeadBeater", don't judge me on Deadbeater as it was my first feature and is kinda rookie. Race without End I think is great and you might recognize the idea from Family Guy. Check it out and Until Next.

Can You Hear the Sirens!?!

No, the title does not refer too the mythical sirens that enchanted sailors and drew them to jagged rocks with their lovely songs. Last night the fire alarm in the residence went off and that is no lovely song, imagine a sound that rattles your very skull and then you would be getting close. Today I am picking up The Movies, a game in which you are able to construct your own movies from the ground up, script, actors, costumes, everything. Recently my roommate bought Battlefront 2 and holy crap it is addictive and fun. I recommend it fully. I have also played and completed Shadow of the Colossus, the game is very open their is a lack of things to do, but the sheer size of the colossi makes up for it. Each boss is fantastic in design and scale, coupled with the best figure movement I have ever scene. Each colossus moves and shakes like any normal creature and it looks spectacular.
As I did not have much sleep last night because of the fire alarm I am at a loss for things to say so Until Next.

Give New Companies a Chance

Recently I bought a game called "Legend of Kay", it is a platformer that involves a ninja cat that has too stop an eveil gorilla and rat from taking over the world. The gameplay is solid with fun moves and tight controls, it has a relatively decent difficulty, and spyro-like graphics. The reason I bought it was because it looked half-decent and I decided to give the little guy some help.
In a game world filled with popular sequels, and crappy movie games the smaller more original companies are getting quashed. I had never even heard of the Legend of Kay before yet it was a fun game that was better quality then alot of stuff from say EA.
All I am saying is that the next time you're in EB or Wal-mart or where ever you buy games have a look at some stuff you have never heard of and give it a try. You could be pleasently surprised.
Until Next.
