HAZE Video Interview (PS3)

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

The game is calle HAZE and should be out for the PS3 “exclusively” in November. There is a very cool concept in this game called “Nector” that really adds some cool gameplay innovations, but I’ll let “Gangsta” Rob tell you all about it. Plus this guy in the interview is just fun to watch.

Talking to some people in the HAZE booth at PAX, I remember one guy distinctly saying that it is a “timed” exclusive. But, who knows now?

And then there were 4!

Will a new PS3 hit the stores this year? I have learned some information that might prove it true.

Early this month, we recently discovered the FCC filing Sony made with in its PS3 models. Now there’s a new advertisement spot for five free Blu-Ray movies on BluraySavings.com. To get the 5 free Blu-Ray movies you have to buy 1 of the 18 qualifying Blu-Ray disc player models.

The PS3 as of now only has 3 models but in this ad it shows a list of FOUR model numbers for the PS3 the CECHA01, CECH01, CECH0198137 (80 GB), & CECHG01. So will we see a new version for the Holiday season?

Guitar Hero III online play confirmed for Wii, and much more!

Monday, September 10th, 2007

It is that time again, ladies and gentlemen, for yet another news update. I have alot to get through, so let us get started.

Now until recently, I have not been a fan of the Guitar Hero series, and I’ll briefly tell you why. It is not because I hate the price of the game, the songs, or the boss battles. It is simply for the fact that I was timid to step into this new genre of gaming. When I did eventually get a chance to play this rockin’ title, I found out how much fun I was missing out on.

After sitting around this weekend looking for a story to write about, something caught my eye that I could not let get away. I have found out from articles posted on filefront.com, and on gamerevolution.com, that the first Guitar Hero to be released for the Wii will include online play. It will not however, include Downloadable Content at this time. For what reason I am not sure of, but here is what a representative from Red Octane had to say about it.

Guitar hero gameplay

“There will, in fact, be Online gameplay for the Wii when Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock launches in late October. However, there will not be Downloadable content available on the Wii at launch. That, we are still working with Nintendo on.”

DLC or no, I’m still excited to see how this game will do on the Wii.

After looking through some articles on gamespot.com the other day, I found out some more interesting info about this game. One of these articles talked about the bosses that we will face in Guitar Hero III. Here is a short list:

Bret Michaels
1. Bret Michaels, lead singer from Poison: You face him in the second boss battle in the game.

Tom Morello
2. Tom Morello, lead guitarist from Rage Against The Machine: He is the third boss that you will face in the game.

Slash
3. Slash, lead guitarist from Guns n’ Roses: Not sure which boss fight he is, but it is said that he will be a part of the rhythm game for Guitar Hero III.

Redoctane.com has info about the prices for the bundles for each system, and also about what extra items are included in these bundles. Both the Xbox 360 and PS3 bundles will be priced at $109.99, and the Wii Bundle will be priced at $99.99. And here is a list of what each bundle includes (other than the game and the guitar, which is wireless):

1. Custom faceplate
2. Dual Gig Bag: Not sure what this means
3. T-shirt
4. Custom 2″ wide strap
5. Keychain
6. Sticker Pack

For more info on these bundles, visit redoctane.com. I cannot wait for this game to come out so I can rock out with the best of them. Until next time, take care gamers, and ROCK ON!

GTA n Halo sitting in a tree K.I.SS.I.N.G

Monday, August 6th, 2007

Ask any gamer, “what are the two biggest titles to release this holiday season?” They would have said, Halo 3 and GTA4, and you could go to Vegas with that answer. So, now that the dust has settled from the earth shattering delay of RockStar’s title, it’s got me thinking’…

GTA IV Delayed 6+ Months

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

Yes, you read it correctly. Today, Take Two Interactive announced that Grand Theft Auto IV will be delayed until the second quarter of 2008 for both the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. Such a highly anticipated title for this year and the cornerstone of Microsoft’s “perfect storm” has now been pushed back several months due to “additional development time required to complete the title.” However, this announcement should not be viewed as unfortunate; but we now know that Rockstar Games cares enough to launch a quality AAA title. It is also understandable that Grand Theft Auto in particular would take a long time to develop due to high expectations and a likely hood of a plethora of tech issues. Being able to manage so much AI and physics at one time on a console must be difficult and it would require a long time. At least this is the first big title that is known to release for sure in 2008.

Don’t play video games, try being a magician.

Magician

I know that I am not supposed to really bring anything out again until Monday, but I couldn’t pass this story up. This comes from an article I found on both filefront.com, and also on myfoxdc.com today. What this article gives is five after-school alternative activities for gamers, other than playing video games.

Here are the five suggested alternatives, and my interpretation of them:

My Newest Dilemma

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

Ok, I just had my birthday and I was given a hundred dollars in Bestbuy dollars, which got me thinking; I now can get a HD DVD player for only a hundred dollars(of my own money)! But then Microsoft just lowered the prices of the wireless racing wheel and Bestbuy has them on sale for 109, which would really only cost me nine dollars. But then that got me thinking, I have a Nintendo Wii that I haven’t touched since Febuary, so if I went and I sold it along with the games and accessories I have for it, add the Bestbuy dollars, I would probably only have to cough up max 200, more then likely 100-150 though. And if I took that route I would have a high-def dvd player and another videogame console. So with all this going on, I’m not sure what I should do, and this is why I am posting this here, to see what you all think. So do me a favor and help me make my decision for me.

What should Steve do?
