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.

Yet Another Leak

Gears of War 2 has now been found on torrent sites being downloaded like crazy. The file is 6.76gb which is massive, but regular size for games nowadays. Ironic how I posted yesterday and then, probably the most anticipated game this year, gets leaked this early! Gears of War 2 isn't that far off from being released either which fits right in with when games are leaked. November 7th is when this drops, if you're not playing this on your warranty voided modded xbox, hopefully I'll see you online in November.

How to fix the leaks?

So recently there has been a surge of games that have been leaked to the internet. First it started with Fallout 3 and the news was everywhere, then Far Cry 2 and Fable 2. Although, since Fable 2 is 360 exclusive the number of copies downloaded will be way less as opposed to Far Cry 2 which was leaked on PC just recently. Fallout 3 is still only leaked on the Xbox 360, which is good because many people are unwilling to break the law and mod their systems to accompany these leaked games. It truly makes a fan of the gaming society sad to see this happen because you’re only hurting the companies that we love. These companies pour hundreds of man hours into these games, working long hours to bring such great titles to us and people choose to repay them by downloading their games at no cost. There is not much a company can do about this however, as with any big company, it is hard to keep tabs on such high numbers of people. If you truly love a game, support the developers so we can have more! The upside to this is we won’t be seeing these delinquents online as obtaining an original key will cost them money.

In short, lets support the developers so we can enjoy these games and look forward to many more classics!

Next-Gen Castlevania

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

Fable 2 co-op available day 1!

After being told that we would not be seeing co-op upon playing fable 2 for the first time, we have been pleasantly surprised at the reveal that when you toss your game in for the first time and go on xbox live you will be prompted for an update allowing cooperative play! I'm really excited to try it out, from the trailers and footage I've seen the multiplayer looks like a blast.

Gametrailers just released a walkthrough acquired from TGS. Check it out

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?
