Red Faction and Fight Night Round 4..

Still kicking, just busy working on projects. Been scorching in Vancouver here recently making it hard to work indoors. Laptop at the beach? Might have to be done..

I purchased Fight Night Round 4 and Red Faction Guerilla recently. Red Faction I seem to have a love hate relationships with it, I'll have fun playing it, smashing stuff for a while but I'll never have any real motivation to start it back up again. It feels almost too open? if thats possible, feeling unattached to the story, just saving mars basically. Smashing an entire building down with your sledgehammer hasn't become old news yet though, it's as fun as it sounds.

Fight Night round 4 feels almost more like a "Legends of Wrestling" kind of game, as opposed to the next installment of Fight Night. The controls are pretty intuitive, yet after about an hour of play you should become fairly comfortable. So far in the Legacy mode I've been able to basically not use my left arm and defeat oponents with root hooks and jabs. A little problem? or just encouragement to this players who are struggling with the tougher opponents.

Still playing Fight Night and Red Faction, so I cannot give them a clichè rating at this time.

Red faction seems like a renter, same with Fight night at this point.

Bioshock 2 revealed!

Slowly, but inevitably, October 21st is coming. A day in which the release of Bioshock on the Playstation 3 may be overshadowed by a couple titles that have been on the tops of gamers' lists for quite some time. Those titles being Fable 2, and Farcry 2. The faithful fans of 2k will be pleasantly treated to a teaser of Bioshock 2 when they purchase it for the Playstation 3. If you haven't picked up a copy or had a chance to experience Bioshock, no better time than now. With Bioshock being as suceessful as it was, there was really no doubt that a sequel (or possibly prequel?) was coming. The main question is, what next? Check out the teaser here, from 1up.

Bioshock 2 'Debut' teaser

Next-Gen Castlevania

Here is the debut trailer of Castlevania for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. No other details have been released.

Tekken 6

There's a couple wallpapers above recently released for Tekken 6, enjoy!

Well if you've ever played a fighting game, possibly even if you haven't, you've heard of Tekken. Tekken was first released by Namco in 1994 as an arcade game, eventually making a playstation version released around the world in 1995. It was a very similar to Virtua Fighter as being one of the very few 3d fighting games at the time. Almost 14 years later this franchise is going strong and now we have a trailer for the new Tekken 6 from now merged developers Bandai Namco. The trailer reveals a little gameplay as well as quite a few returning characters! Check it

TGS 2008 Most Anticipated

10. White Knight Chronicles - SCEA - Playstation 3

Being brought to you by Level 5 studios, a classic rpg with a great combat system, over 50 hours of gameplay.. not many details have been dropped yet however, so it's basically a given at TGS this year.

9. Kingdom Hearts - Birth By Sleep - Square Enix - PSP

The Only reveals have been private screenings and screenshots but Square Enix will have a playable version of this game at TGS. Looking to expand upon the previous games Birth By Sleep is set 10 years before the first game and there will be a first person mechanic and multiplayer..

8. Resistance 2 - SCEA - Playstation 3

New weapons and alternate fire.. little is known about the campaign, but more should be revealed.

7. Infamous - SCEA- Playstation 3

More or less grand theft auto with super powers, you have the choice to save or destroy the city. Can't wait to see more of this game.

6. Madworld - SEGA- WII

This game has an amazing art style, black and white almost frank miller esque with some red thrown in there to show the gruesomeness that comes with having a chainsaw for an arm. Keeping with the different sense of humor that follows many japanese games you have a chance to fight Herr Frederick Von Twirlenkiller. Yeah, thats right.

5. Dissidia - Final Fantasy - Square Enix - PSP

Should be some good character reveals at TGS for this "not a fighting game" that looks from the trailers like a fast paced fighter.

4. Bayonetta - SEGA - Playstation 3 and Xbox 360

Little has been released to the public about this game, the press is saying that it delivers so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

3. Resident Evil 5 - Capcom - Playstation 3 and Xbox 360

Enough said.

2. Final Fantasy XIII - Square Enix - Playstation 3 and Xbox 360

Honestly, I don't have to say much here we just want to see more!

1. Unannounced Team ICO Game - SCEI - Playstation 3

Very impressive company so far with shadows of the colussus being highly regarded, can we see another major hit?

Little Big Planet Beta, 1up Beta Code!

Well I received this just now, I'll keep you posted, as the key isn't actually in my 1up inbox yet..

1up fixed the problem! Apparently there was some error about the codes being sent somewhere else by accident instead of to our 1up inboxes, but problem solved! Downloading LBP as we speak, see you online

LBP Beta day!

25,000 keys were released flooding the internet. It was a pretty hectic day for many popular gaming sites being bombarded with refreshes from people anxiously awaiting any news on LBP beta keys. The main little big planet site had immediate "server too full" messages upon updating their site saying they will release keys to the first 1000 posters. I ended up being in between 151 - 225 on the main site, I guess it went through! 1up also just released their test of the week that will be releasing LBP keys to whoever answers a question related to the 1up show they post on their site.

I'm just waiting for my key!
