Just how did it get there?

I really can't remember how my surround sound remote got from 1 house to the other then back. I moved some stuff from 1 house to the other, INCLUDING this remote but when I come to use it, it's vanished. I like high and low, top to bottom for this remote in my bedroom but nothing.

Couple of months later I visited my Mum's which is the house I moved from, I didn't even have the remote on my mind at the time and all of a sudden it was there, sitting on the desk. I was like 'How the hell did it get here!?'. The only way is when I came down during christmas and packing it by accident then forgot to repack ready to go back.

What I Can't Wait To See More Of.

2009 is already looking to be a very good year, with the growing amount of games and technology that drives these games to such greatness. I'll put down the top 3 of the games from each console/PC that I own.

PC.
1.
The Sims 3.

2. The Orange Box 2 (Rumoured name)
No exact details have been said about this just yet but we expect to see games such as Half-Life 2: Episode 3, Portal 2, Counter-Strike: Source 2 and anything else, will even be called the Orange Box 2?

3. Battlefield 1943


I love the Battlefield series and judging by the teaser this is going to prove yet again an excellent instalment to the series.

Xbox 360.
1.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2


Yay! So they went back to Modern Warfare, why they went back to WWII, I don't know and it surprises me of how popular World At War has become, the campaign sucked pretty bad from what I saw. Anyway, lets just hope Modern Warfare 2 shapes up to be even better than any other Call of Duty's.

Release date: November 10, 2009

2.
Prototype


What can I say, this game looks extremely fun, or will it be a quick 30 minutes of fun. Judging by the videos, this game looks like it'll offer a lot, potentially it can and hopefully it will.

3.
Bioshock 2: Sea of Dreams.


Finally, the biggy, Bioshock 2: Sea of Dreams, I'm now waiting to play Bioshock which I should do anytime soon to see this masterpiece which everyone calls it, I've watched live gameplay over a Dead Pirate Studio's and it looks fantastic, not just the graphics but the gameplay and weird atmosphere too. We can only wait and see what the 2nd one will have to offer, I'm sure it'll be yet again truly amazing.

There is many, many more to list but there's simply too many but I will most likely talk about other games as they're soon to be released.

To see or not to see...

...it's up to you but in the following will be several cool looking games.

Firstly, the one that could be a huge failure or a huge ground breaker is a game called Prototype, gory, open world, destruction, guns, explosions and some fancy parkour, this isn't the end of the list, however, it is somewhat only a few of the amazing looking things you can do.

Below is one of the videos which shows you the powers, weapons and combat in the game.



This one will show you artistic vision.



"Environmental Interaction"



...and finally the story of Alex Mercer.



Looks pretty good don't it.

Anyway, onto other things now and i would like to say please visit flamegoat.net it's a gaming/artistic/developer and everything else community which is helping donate to St. Jude's hospital. Nearly everyday they cast live gaming over at justin.tv/flamegoat - So please check 'em out, spread the word and hope you enjoy your stay.

Long time no blog...

Yeah, been a while since the last blog post, quite a bit has happened as usual. To start with, something needs to be answered, it could a while until we find out, it's about the next Fast and Furious, this will contain spoilers so you've been warned. So as we all know who have watched Tokyo Drift, Han died in a crash, right? So how come he's in the cast for the next Fast and Furious. Is it a mistake or is he really going to be there? Can't wait to find out. Link is to the next Fast and Furious (4th).

Still on the subject of movies, a next big movie coming is Hancock, this is a movie that you know could be awful or outstanding, from the trailers though, it sure does look impressive so far. You may disagree with me here but i think Will Smith fits the role of Hancock perfectly. Trailer can be found here

Drifting away from movies and now lets have a mini review of Battlefield: Bad Company. Lets start positive with this game, to start with i personally think it's amazing, i've played the demo and seen some awesome videos. Started the single player demo part, it was short but satisfying to say the least, dialogue was amusing at times as i expected. From what i've read about the story, it is going to be deep and not some plane old lets blow everything up story, it's actually going to be worthy to play through. Onto the multiplayer now and it is a whole lot of fun, blowing shit up is class, the vehicles are sweet to drive and obviously the tank, the air strikes are cool but you gotta be lucky to get on it because people seem to hog it which is understandable because you really do rack up a load of points with it. I think a brilliant thing which can be passed onto the final version are the unlocks, anything you unlock in the demo will be unlocked in the final release. Furthermore, the graphics have obviously been improved, a lot, it does look very pretty and with all the shit that goes on, i can safely say it feels like a Battlefield, lets not forget the sound. In 5.1 surround it sounds brilliant, whack the bass up and turn the volume up, enough said.

Bad points of the game are obvious, biggest bad point is no prone, what the fuck!, you're wearing one of those gillie sniper suit things and you can't prone!, it's not a massive downer but why they never allowed you to prone i'll never know, still there are bushes and plenty of buildings to nest in, not only that but the sniper scope is dead still, so no crouch or prone seems necessary when aiming the sniper. Other than that, you can only wait until the final game is out to really bitch about it. For now, we'll sit back and enjoy some demo gameplay which is available on both PS3 and Xbox 360.

That'll do for now, will post sooner than before.

Things I'm Looking Forward To.

There's quite a few things really, i was hoping to say the Euro 2008 but England are not in it. Grrr...So instead i've decided to follow Portugal, seem like the more entertaining team, mainly because of Cristiano Ronaldo, i know.

That isn't the only thing, there's a few movies such as the next Fast and Furious but that won't be out until next year. I think there's a Toy Story 3, this will be a while yet aswell, 2010. There's also Shrek Goes Fourth aka 'Untitled Fourth Shrek Movie', this is also being released in 2010. I heard a Bioshock movie was in the making so that should be interesting too, 2010. There are a few more but these seem at the top at the moment.

Onto games now and the one i can't wait to get my hands on is GTAIV. There's also Battlefield: Bad Company, Far Cry 2, Gears of War 2 and finally the most amazing next generation city or should i say world builder simulater called Cities XL. It does look pretty amazing, the launch trailer can be seen below.
