Neo Geo In My Hands

2012-02-01T05:41:00.001-08:00

Ever want the Neo Geo in a portable version...of course you didn't..so here it is...for you to not to want. When I first heard that these games were coming out on the PSN, I was pretty excited.

But when I saw that they were 7 and 9 bucks...I became very much less excited. That's way too much for a game that over 15 years old. Most of the games I never even played..maybe if I had some nostalgia connection to the games, maybe....MAAAAAyybeee...I could justify it.
Yeah, sure the system was $700 bucks and the games could go as high as 200-300$ for prefect arcade translation.

But today...the games shouldn't no more than 2-3 bucks. I ain't paying almost $10 bucks for a Neo Geo game..sorry. So with the news that they are releasing a portable Neo Geo...I can't say I get too excited.

But for some, maybe this is what you are looking for. All the best to you gamers.

This commercial made my brain broke....

2012-02-01T04:50:00.000-08:00

Like most people I meet through this site, I enjoy reading others thoughts on games and gaming life, be it a family gamer, bachelor gamer, a gay gamer. It doesn't matter, its enjoyable to hear friendly inspired gamers help fuel the gaming community. Often times its really only through other REAL gamers that we can get an idea if a game is good or not, some times I find some actual game sites aren't allowed to to get real, but have to keep it kosher.

Anywho...Mr Hawkins, (I don't know if he's related to Stephen or Richard Hawkins?) got a nice little site that I like to share with others who visit here. Give a little love and maybe you'll enjoy his brain soup as well.

In The Dark

2012-01-27T11:47:00.000-08:00

Some of you may have noticed that I have not been online in regards to my PS3 and my stupid steam account being hacked..but that's something different.

Anywho, I'm getting fiber-op installed and it takes awhile for them to set it up, they have to make appointments and a ENGINEERING team..a TEAM!!! have to come out and set it all up. They can only do it on certain days....what all this means is that I will be out of touch with most gamers online until the 3rd of February.

They said that they even give me 2 free months of internet due to making me wait..that's damn straight..making me wait...how dare they...bahh..I don't care about waiting...I'm good at waiting...but it was nice of them. So untill Feb 3rd...happy online gaming.

SOLD!!!

2012-01-27T10:53:00.001-08:00

I'm sorry Jay..but it has PACMAN!!! and MEGAMAN!!! and COLE!!! and ...er...two..weird...well I don't really know too much about what the hell those things are.

I didn't have much interest in this game mainly due to I was tired of buying a capcom fighting game, only to have a new cheaper version with more stuff, come out 3 months later. Well not this time...this time I will wait...BUT I WANT IT NOW!!!.....but I will wait.

I will wait for Super Ultimate, Bang-R-Rang Street Fighter Vs Tekkan Gold version to come out, before I even look at picking it up!! Its not like picking it up early will give me an advantage online anyway.

Back to the Future-Episode 1: Its About Time - PS3

2012-01-27T10:19:00.000-08:00

Tell Tale games are very well know for their pick and choose adventures. They are also well know for confusing the fuck outta me, where do I go..who do I talk with now!?..god dammit I'm lost again.

Well I got the whole entire series from "Plus" for free. So I can't complain.

Wanna keep this short and not long winded....good luck me.

I had fun..the games are a hoot. The puzzles weren't stupid hard...I was never truly frustrating stuck, unlike other games from tell tale.

I was enjoying myself and it felt very fluid..the game never once felt like it came to a halt. I enjoyed the story, the nostalgia of the game itself is great. The voice acting is superb and the game play is fun and enjoyable.

I did replay episode 1 twice so I could choose different options, just to see the ramifications of choosing different dialogue trees, but there was little to no difference in choosing different dialogue trees. So that was kinda disappointing. But that also means that there's really not much replay value in these games. Once you do everything in the story line..there not much worth going back for, unless you want to clean up some trophies.

The only real bad thing was and is..the animation. Its down right horrendous..I mean at times it can come off as decent but for the most part, the lip sync, the motion, the ...ugg.its all very very unfinished. If only they were given 3-4 months to fix the animation, it would look amazing. The style direction of the game is great..but the animation is piss poor. Sad...for such a great game to have such a huge flaw..its almost embarrassing.

But!!..it doesn't kill the game, its still fun. Its just crappy to watch things move. Overall, I enjoyed the first episode and for anyone who is a fan of the movie and grew up in that era...its a great trip back in time to replay some neat characters and interact with Hill Valley.

Here we have a pic of a controller that was returned by a mother who her son asked her to go out and buy him a controller for his PS3. She came back with a Xbox controller. So there was no lie about it, to her the problem isn't that its a Xbox or PS3....its, it won't connect to his gaming system, Please give me a controller that works with his gaming system.

Is it really that hard to take a interest in your kids activities?!...what does he or she do?..what do they like?..what do they spend alot of their time doing? I like to think that we has parents have the time in a day to poke our noses into our kids lives and see what they are up too.

Looks like a lot of fighting games coming out in the new year...but you know what. I'm not interested in any of them, which is probably a good thing. With so many other games out there that I want to play..I'm glad I can write fighting games off my list for the new year. They all look really good though.

Here they are setting up a model for promoting Borderlands 2...After me just complaining about using boobies to sell games...at least they are using an actual character from the game and not some random bimbo with big boobs. Crap..does this mean I'm a bigot now?!

This is What's Wrong with Online - Particularly COD

2012-01-17T09:03:00.000-08:00

I play alot of online on the PS3 and I have come across my share of foul mouth players and I usually, block and mute them.

But watching this video just really makes me feel for the average online person who joins in a game and has to put up with people like that. Not the guy who's knifing everyone..hes playing the game normally...but all the sore losers out there. Its downright disheartening.

Steam Account Hacked

2012-01-11T07:54:00.000-08:00

Got a email this morning saying I have successfully changed my email address for my steam account. I did no such thing...I haven't even played a game on steam in months. So this means that my account got hacked.

I went through the whole process of signing into steam and making a complaint and still no answer back from them.

But in the mean time..I have to head out and change my credit card info...fuck this..after I cancel my card..they can have the steam account. What a load of bullshit.

Battery Life - PS Vita Vs 3DS

2012-01-05T08:59:00.000-08:00

A cool little experiment was done to see which handheld system has the longer battery life from full charge. Taking into consideration that all batteries are different, but these are brand new, outta the box.

The PS Vita was playing uncharted(so it was running at its max) with the analog stick taped to one side, so there was motion happening, just not a static screen or pause menu.

The 3DS was playing Zelda with the same above conditions applied.

In the end the PS Vita died after 3 hrs 40 min while the 3DS died after 2 hrs 35 min. Sigh!...In a world where iphones and androids are dominating the market with a much longer battery life. The consoles version of handhelds are not standing up too well to being just that - hand held.

Seeing as most serious gamers will eat through that time in a couple of days, hell, probable in the first day alone. I'm thinking they will have to increase the battery life of these systems.If I have to be attached to a power source all the time, it kinda defeats the purpose of carrying your games with you. It becomes more of a back up, then actual play time.

Who is the winner?!....no one..the gamers are the losers. I could say that a 3DS can be charge on a 5V USB while a PS Vita can't. This may change..but who knows. Hell, this means that someone can't even play the crappy short ass game Ironman 2 to completion which is only 4 hrs long, before their system dies.

Good luck even try finishing Zelda in under 3 hrs...perhaps handheld gaming is different from what I remember,lol.

Good luck handheld market, but I think I'll pass on both.

Before and After - Eagle Eye PS3 Converter

2012-01-04T07:40:00.000-08:00

A friend of mine who is not use to playing FPS on consoles was getting pretty upset with getting shot all the time in Battlefield 3. Just because he wasn't use to using the controller, being that he played most FPS on the PC with a mouse and keyboard. So he went out and got a Eagle Eye PS3 converter. Which allows you to hook up a mouse and keyboard to the PS3.

So now, he can play FPS the same way one does on the PC. I was very , VERY interested to see if this really makes any difference what so ever. Was the product accurate, was it precise, did it work like it said it was going to work?

Well before the attachment my friend, usually came next to, if not last place itself. As you can see in the pic, 4 kills , 3 deaths was a good match for him on average playing session with a controller. Give him a mouse and keyboard and his kills jump up to 18.

So with a resounding YES!!! The eagle Eye works and works well. For anyone who isn't comfortable using a controller for FPS. Then the eagle eye attachment is the thing for you. It just doesn't give you a little edge...it frikken makes you Rambo of BF3!!

I don't know if I will get one, since I am pretty comfortable playing with a controller, but its great to know that this product exist for people who aren't used to using a controller.

2011-12-31T07:59:00.000-08:00

Finished Deadspace 2...thought about going back and platinuming it, seeing as I platinumed the first one. But then I looked at all the games in my back log and realize that if I want to ever play them and not accumulate more...then I need to move on.

Just looking what needs to be done to plat DS2...its gonna take me another 30 plus hrs. Heck..that's the game time of at least 2 more games at 15 hrs a piece. So many more games need to be taken of my list first. For now..I have to force my OCD down in a hole and not worry about completing it to 100% and start a new game, maybe Batman, City...maybe infamous 2?...who knows. Perhaps I'll just go back and play some stress free Battlefield.

Anywho...last post of the year..a couple more days before work starts up again...a new blog happening soon that will display my transformer collection. Here's to a New and Happier Year to everyone. Play friendly my fellow gamers.

Haven't been posting on here as of late, as Bob Cratchet said to Scrooge after arriving 18 min late the day after Christmas," I've been making rather Merry as of late". Just a little update over the holidays.

Ive gotten my P11 Turtlebeach headphones.I only have one thing to say about them,"Where have they been my entire life?!" I must have been living under a rock when it came to gaming with a good set of headphones.

I waited on playing DeadSpace 2 on Jay's comments that it enhances the atmospheric experience with headphones. And boy! does it ever!!! I played for 45 min and had to turn it off cause my heart rate was racing...it probable didn't help that I was playing late at night with the lights off. But holy shit...I was honestly enthralled, sucked in to the game.

So many sounds, noises that you just don't hear when you play regularly...even surround sound doesn't compare. Your hearing bumps..too the left..too the right...what was that over there. I found myself turning my head in the room, let alone in the game. I even frighten myself a couple times..when a door slammed..and I thought it was in door in my room.

Tried Battlefield 3 with them and its like discovering a whole new game. Bullets zipping by your head...following the sounds of gun fire to locate a sniper laying down. Its amazing.. I honestly can say without a doubt..that these headphones change the way I see and experience games. They are amazing..anyone who have never tried them...you are doing yourself a disservice by not playing with these....they are amazing!!

I don't think I will play games any other way now..and if these headphones exploded tomorrow..I run right out and get another pair. Fantastic..do yourself a favor and go get some today.

Jay over at Portable Soldier said that the best way to play Dead space 2 was with headphones, so you can really hear everything that the game as to offer, to really imerse oneself into the atmosphere of the game. Even with other games, it really does enhance all the sound one hears.

After much consideration, I gave in and got myself a sweet pair of turtle beach head phones. Considering I am using a $20 pair right now( and they are pretty good, i've been using those for over 4 years now, and they are great for what they are.) I did go and get myself what I think is a nice little upgrade.

Now I am going to be able to really see what all the hoop blah is all about, I can only imagine that its going to be awesome. Just have to wait a little over a week to try them out is all. Can't go giving myself it early..considering as adult we buy stuff for ourselves all the time, have to keep some traditions alive I suppose.

Starwars The Force Unleashed 2 - PS3

2011-12-15T08:29:00.001-08:00

Loved the first one, got super excited for the second one when all the trailers came out, the cinematic trailers that is, no in game stuff.

But after I read the reviews and friends who had played the game thoughts on it, It sounded like a big disappointment. So I didn't pick it up.

But seeing the game in the bargain bin for 10$...it has to be worth 10$?!..and you know what...it sure is a $10 game. The whole game feels more like a add-on or collection of add-ons put together to make up 1 whole game.

The main story is only 4 hrs long and you start off with all the same powers you had in the last game, same upgrade system, everything. They literally didn't add anything new to the Force Unleashed series. Except now he has 2 light sabers, which honestly doesn't make up for all the shortcomings everywhere else.

The battles become repetitive, same mini bosses over and over all the way to the very end. Playing the game on its harder difficulty does nothing buy increase the damage enemies do to you. So if you play defensively, you can avoid most everything. But take 1 or 2 hits and your done for. It doesn't make for a especially enjoyable game play session.

The other add on was the challenge rooms, much like god of war has. Don't get me wrong, these are enjoyable, but again..they feel shoved into the game to add filler to a lacking product. Almost like they were going to ship the game by itself and realized that the final product was enough and people would feel ripped off, so they added these challenge rooms that they were otherwise going to release later and charge people for them.

This game just feels lacking in every way a game can. It is a shadow of the what the first game was and although I only payed 10 bucks for the game, I still somehow feel disappointed. And if you were thinking that they saved some cool cut scenes for people who bought the game and played through it...think again. They showed anything that was cool and full of fan service online with teasers. There was nothing in the game that would have been a surprise because they spoiled it all online promoting the game. Just downright shameful.

The only enjoyable thing about the game were the boss battles, they were different enough that I didn't feel bored. Unlike the entirety of the game, I felt like I was playing the game just so I could get to the end and have it finished and see the ending. This game is a big let down and I only recommend it if you are a Starwars fan and you can find it cheap, ....really cheap.

Akimi Village - PSN

I think it says something when you play any demo for over an hr and after the demo ends, you want to keep going. That's how I felt when I played the demo for Akimi Village. I guess if I have to compare it to anything...I really don't know what to compare it too. I want to say farmville , but I never played farmville...but I guess this game is what I would assume how farmville plays. But I could totally bout to lunch on this one.

That's beside the point, the point being , its fun. I finished the whole game in 4 days for a total of 14 hrs. Considering I paid $5 bucks for the game and enjoyed myself immensely and didn't want the game to end. The value for the game is well worth it.

The basics of the game is to create a village and restore life to the Gloomy part of a dream state. Trust me, it makes more sense when you hear the story. But besides that...its a balance of creating workers, harvesting resources, making stockpiles, turning resources into usable materials, using those materials to build items/buildings that will enhance your village which removes the gloom.

Whether it be increasing your productivity, happiness, unlocking new land, new buildings. There is so much to do in this game, that in the 14 hrs that I played it, I did not once feel like I was repeating myself or felt like I was grinding in anyway. It was all very gratifying...unlike the the facebook games, where you do something and then sit and wait for 10 hrs.

Its more a balance of resources and man(little glooms) hrs and abilities. Its a different game than I usually play and I loved every min of it. The only downside was that it requires friends to assist in materials and items. So if you have friends, they can send you resources to help build things faster....without friends, it makes using your existing resources a little more tighter and smarter. Also its neat to see other people's towns and help them out.

Currently, there is no one on my friends list who owns the game, so its a lonely little Akimi Village I have :(

In the end, if you want to try something new and well worth your money, give the demo a try. If after you want to keep playing after trying the demo...than this game is for you.

VGA's Thoughts

2011-12-12T05:08:00.000-08:00

I tried to watch the VGA's....I honestly did. All I was interested in were the new trailers for the upcoming games. I could care less about their high school video game popularity categories mentality.

But even with the thought of seeing a good trailer, the filler of everything in-between was unbearable. In my opinion, the VGA's is everything that is wrong with the gaming community. I did enjoy the one speech that the host made about anonymity and playing on line doesn't give one the right to be a foul mouth racist bigot, at least they are acknowledging a horrible part of online gaming. A part that appears to be a common place and accepted when in actuality, it shouldn't be.

The songs, the hosts, the inane awards that mean as much " Who as the best hair" in grade 11 were down right horrible. It got to a point where I said, I'm not watching this regardless of the trailers..I'll just watch it tomorrow online. The VGA's are a joke and only appeal to the most common COD playing fanboy. Big booms and big titties, watch me kick and scream when I don't get my way.

Needless to say, I did not enjoy the VGA's in shape or form.

JRPG's and Their Names

2011-12-10T08:59:00.000-08:00

I'm not a fan of anime or Japan related games such as Catherine and JRPG's. Final Fantasy has never appealed to me since they changed all the characters so I can't tell if they are female or male unless they draw in some boobs on the character.

But besides that fact, its just my personal preference, I know there is a very large fan base out that love this stuff. But I came across this today and I guess what I don' t understand is where do they come up the names for these games. To me its the equivalent to trying to type words really fast and hitting the wrong keys.

Anyway...the name of the game is .....

Ar Tonelico Qoga Knell of Ar Cie - ???What the hell does that mean?? That's not even words at this point. Its like when Christians become possessed by their God and start speaking in tongues.

Let me name the next game from Japan...."Whirl noses of shopping cupcakes at summer vroom moon." Now that's a name..I don't know what it means..but I think it falls in line with most names of JRPG.s?

Well, that's it, just wanted to pass on some randomness that I don't understand..nothing left to do, but go back to being ignorant.

The A-Team Does it Again!!!

2011-12-10T04:39:00.000-08:00

The more I play BF3 I am encountering some damn good pilots and of course the ones who play the most have unlocked the best weapons and perks, so it makes that much harder to shoot them down. Hell, I had one guy spin around his jet, point his nose towards me on the ground, fire off a burst, kill me and then keep going.....WTF!!?? ..Its a jet your flying not some frikken Gundman suit.
Still...its a very cool video.

Back Log Woes

2011-12-09T09:14:00.000-08:00

It has been quite some time that I have a back log as big as the one I currently have, and this is just disc based games, not counting the DLC games I have downloaded.

To start with, I have Infamous 2, given to my by cousin. I plan on playing it,its just not something I really want to start right now, especially since its a much bigger game that the last. This will be a problem with most of backlog as well...they are all bigger.

Then I got Batman, Arkham City, holy cow this game is going to eat up my time if its anything like the last one was. I love going through the game and finding all the riddler puzzles and doing all the challenges. Put that into a giant city and were looking at some serious game time here.

I got DeadSpace 2 sent to me in the mail. This one I wouldn't mind starting with, since its been the longest since I played the first one. I don't like that they added MP, but hey, I don't have to play that part of the game to enjoy it.

Then I got NHL 12, which I feel awful about not finishing my career mode in NHL 10. To start up 12 now without finishing 10 just seems wrong. But I haven't touched 10 in over a year, so whats the point.

Lego Pirates of the Caribbean. Love the Lego games, but I just finished Lego Harry Potter a few months ago, I have to give it some time before I start another one.

Sims 3, this seems like a game that's just going to eat up my spare time, much like Minecraft. Build my imaginary home, eat , sleep, talk with friends. hell Its hard enough to find real time to do this stuff, let alone finding game time to live a fake life.

Finally, the game that I am currently playing, BF3 and what keeps me going back are all the unlocks...just one more level to unlock the next perk, the next gun, the next vehicle upgrade, etc. Its very additive, but I guess I have to balance my online time with my offline time.

But I just went through the force unleashed 2 a week ago and I played through it just because my backlog was getting too big and I had to get rid of one of them. And I felt like I was rushed through the game. I played it just for the sake of playing it....where I enjoying going back into levels and finding items and exploring on harder settings. It all felt very rushed and it lessened my game experience because of it. So this is backlog....its all very overwhelming, but like getting into a cold lake, the best way to do is just jump in and get started.

Sony's PS Vita Memory Cards - Too Pricey

2011-12-02T05:07:00.000-08:00

I'm not much of a hand held gamer, I honestly doubt I will ever even buy the PS Vita. But that doesn't mean I'm not interested in the tech and its games. When it comes to us, the gamers and consumers, prices way heavily on my decision. I'm not your average or typical gamer that buys everything when its first launched or go along with all the hype. I will gladly sit back and wait for the dust to settle before moving in.

One sore spot for me when it comes to the Vita are the memory cards. I don't mind that they have them, but what the hell Sony? You are charging a ridiculous amount for something that is necessary for your system to work. If I bought a Vita tomorrow, I would need the card to access online and start playing.

What's insane is what Sony is charging people for this necessity. So even though the price of the Vita is more than reasonable, when you take into consideration the additional price you need to pay for memory, then it becomes obvious that you are paying more then what they originally said.

The prices go as is
4G SD card - $30 plus tax
8G SD card - $45 plus tax
16G SD card - $70 plus tax
32G SD card - $120 plus tax

Where as I can go and get another brand name 32G SD card from anywhere $28-$33. But Sony won't let us use other SD cards, we are forced to use theirs. Hell, I can buy a 500G external hard drive for $80.

So if you look at it this way, if you get the vita at $250 you can expect to be paying anywhere to $280 to $370. If you are a avid gamer, we all know that 4G's are not going to be enough for your gaming needs.

I did read that Sony is taking a loss with every Vita sold so they have to make their money somewhere. It just seems underhanded that they list a system as low as they did, when really its much higher.

Interested to see how all this plays out.

Galaga DX - PSN

2011-11-28T05:15:00.000-08:00

I'm a big fan of the old arcade games made a new with visuals and new gameplay. Pacman DX was amazing and although Galaga DX was made by the same people, it just not quite as good. Its still very entertaining, but doesn't hit the highs of Pacman.

The first thing that really stands out and brings back memories is the music. You hear that little song in the beginning and it all comes back to you.

The game as a new design and look, but you can choose all the different styles that Galaga has been made in the past year are here. Even a Pacman style, with all the enemies being ghost and your ship is Pacman. Its pretty cool.

The play has changed from just being enemies coming in from the top to being able to shoot in all directions. It really adds a new element to a otherwise dull gameplay. The points come pouring in when you get combo's and link your kills in to chains. Hit one thing that sets off another and another, so one shot can wipe out whole hoards of enemies. But you often have only a split second to hit that sweet spot, miss it and you have to do it the hard way.

This really plays an important part with the time trials portions of the game. Where every wave has to be taken out fast. And you mess it up and you won't hit your target.

Overall, I its a very enjoyable Shump, but it doesn't feel as full filling as pacman DX did. I think for fans of the game will enjoy it, but for anyone who didn't grow up in the era of Galaga, then they might want to pass.

Mario Makes Peace With Peta

2011-11-24T05:30:00.000-08:00

I'm sure most of you are aware of Peta attack on Mario's tanooki suit, saying it promotes wearing fur. I just think its people with too much time on their hands.

Like that nosey neighbour who lives on your street poking her nose in everybody else business and complaining about it. She doesn't have a job, she's retired or stays at home all day just watching the rest of us while she complains about our garbage bin being too close to the road or she doesn't like the way we pile our leaves in the yard.

This lady doesn't exist in my neighborhood, we have crazy hippy lady instead.

Battlefield 3 - Overall?!? PS3

2011-11-21T04:57:00.000-08:00

Seeing as I got this 3 weeks after launch because I ordered it in the mail, like most people who are fans of FPS and this particular series I was super excited to play this title, .

Lets be to the point with this.

Campaign - Its your standard single player campaign. I did wish that the QT events were a little more involved than just 1 button press. Some of them had 2 button presses, but more often I just felt like I was watching a movie, then had to press a button to continue. It didn't feel like it was part of the game and rather just press "X" to continue. I think they easily could have made them a little more involved. In the end, it was Okay, nothing spectacular, nothing horrible. Its what I expected besides the lame QT events.

I went through my first play through on Hard mode and it really is hard. But I found out rather quickly that certain sections of the game if you had your squad with you and your were having a hard time progressing. You could find a safe spot to hide and let them kill everything for you. Now this wasn't the case for all the missions. But more than once I passed a level by sitting back and letting my AI guys do all the work. Not for lack of trying on my part, though. I did try, but on hard mode, you could have a squad of 12 guys but all the enemy AI zero in on me like I'm the friggin plague.

Co-op - Never played it, but most co-op games are always fun. I'm hoping for nothing but good things from co-op mode when I start it.

Multiplayer - Boy!! do they ever got some fixing to do here.

Me and my cousin made a squad in the menu's. Regardless if we joined a game through Quickmatch or through the Browser games. We were met with problems on every single match until we both got fed up with it and quit. What happened was, upon being put into the game. The game either did these things...

1)Split us up from our squad and put us on different teams
2)Split us up from our squad and put us in different squads on the same team.
3) SPlit us up and not put us in any squad

All of which would disable our mics to each other. So even if we did reconnect in a squad, we couldn't hear each other. One time we could hear each other, but we weren't in the same squad and when we left the squads that the game put us in and joined each other, then we couldn't hear each other. Other times, our voices would be broken.

Other times with 3 players, 2 of the guys couldn't hear each other but both could hear me. But upon entering a game, their chat function worked fine while my game had all of is sound cut. It was like the TV went on mute. So I tried to quit to rejoin to fix the sound, but all that did was hard lock the game.

Other times, on 2 separate occasions the game reset all my stats to Zero, so I couldn't select the perks and gadgets I had unlocked. The only way I fixed this was to play an entire round using just my level 1 gear and upon finishing it, I would revert back to my normal level.

Other times I had the tanks "mostly", get stuck in the ground, one time the tank just started spinning around a rock. Other times I would park next to an embankment and the tank would slide around like it was on Ice. Not big hills either, these were little bumps in the road.

Overall, Online is a mess, BUT when it works, its great fun. But right now..I would have to say that BF2 is much better, but based on the fact that BF3 doesn't work half the time. Your okay if you just go online yourself and play, but playing with friends is just a pain in the ass. So I hope they fix it soon.

Overall, I can honestly say without a doubt that BF2 is better, for me that is. Maybe if they fix online, I will change my opinion.

In the video here -This is what happened to me without the tank flying into the air.

DarkStalkers Coming to PSN

2011-11-18T05:31:00.000-08:00

They are releasing Darkstalkers on the PSN on NOV 29th. I am a big fan of this fighting game series and I think they need to reboot this franchise as well. With the fighting mechanics of the Street Fighter 4 but with a style all its own.

I do hope that they handle it like they they did with street fighter 3rd strike and not just release a mod of the old game. Here's my fingers crossed.
