Games! Games! Games!

Well, I finally got around to pre-ordering the XBOX 360. (No, I didn't get the $4,000 bundle. In fact, I couldn't find any bundles in stock that had Madden, and since that's the only game I'm really interested in, well, I bought a standalone version).

This movie is a large pile of the suck. Not nearly as bad as Aliens vs. Predator, but still crappy. Stop making movies based off of video games you fucking assholes, unless the developers of the game are there for guidance. I hear the Bungie guys are helping with the making of the Halo movie, so I actually expect that to be decent. But Doom? Yeah, that is a giant pile of crap. Don’t see it.

The weekend was good as well, quite dry and I didn’t do much as in : give the PS2 a good go : I’m already 3 weeks stuck on a level of Medal of Honor > Arnhem Nights.. well I blame it on the Dutch… On the other hand, I promised myself I would go for God of war (or War of God…) once I’ve finished this one.

“Doom3″ went into development in 2000 and was released in August 2004. With a revolutionary graphics engine and intense, atmospheric visuals, it took the “Doom” experience to a new level of suspense and visceral excitement. In just five short months “Doom3″ sold over a million copies for PC—with a Microsoft Xbox version and PC Expansion Pack, “Resurrection of Evil,” following shortly thereafter.

Just got back from a great and disappointing Gaming/Technology Convention. All the Booths were really cool. Had all this new technology stuff. There were gaming Tournaments all over. (Didn’t enter in any but we all know it wouldn’t be fair to anyone if I entered because I’m the best gamer. I’m serious) they had DDR tourney’s Halo 2 tourneys. jeeze I would of kicked ass. Well the disappointing part was that they said we could play the Xbox 360! They didn’t let anyone except some stupid little twat. He must have been watching the presentation for quite a while and the guy asked for someone to try it. The little twat got picked. It was some driving game. The best graphics I’ve seen EVER. I have some footage of it on my camera. Well he sucked real badly and people were shouting “You Suck” it was funny. Then I waiting for 1h20 something minutes and got 2 Yankee pitchers autographs. WOOT WOOT. Fun day it was!

Hello guys, and welcome to my new blog, on nintendo revolution obviously.

Peter shows off Xbox Live, a Gamer Tag, the skin he’s chosen (a Dead or Alive one), the small arcade games on Live. You can clearly see the Media Center icon at the bottom. He shows the parental control settings.

If you have a modchip in your xbox you can play backup games. You can either copy games yourself or you can buy copies on the Internet. Many people also download xbox games from various p2p software. But if you download the games you never know if they will work or not (a lot of fakes out).

This is a timeline of video games and computer games in reverse chronological order.

Sony has unveiled a host of music players over time, from MiniDisk Walkmans to players with a hard drive (like the Vaio Pocket VGF-AP1) to the music playing PSP (Playstation Portable). The dent these players are making in Apple’s dominance of the digital music industry are barely visible.

The game is similar to the series of Nintendo’s Advance Wars games, however, the big bonus here is that the game is free, and you don’t need a Game Boy or Nintendo DS to play. All you need is a web browser with Flash Player 7. Battalion is free, however, there is a premium membership you can purchase in order to gain access to more maps, more powerful “uber-units”, and the ability to create and upload your own maps.

As if the fact that most titles for the Nintendo Gamecube aren’t lame enough (i.e., Sonic Riders, Monkey Ball) the former video game conglomerate is losing more than face with its latest North American failures, the Gamecube, and Nintendo DS. As of last Friday, Nintendo reported on a cut to its previously estimated profits from 30 billion Yen to 20 billion. A whopping loss of over $87 Million in the North American market alone!

I pre-reserved Call of Duty 2 for the Xbox 360 yesterday, and I got a shirt for it. I’ll take a picture of my rockin’ self wearing it and post it here, but now I’m busy.

“Nintendo may be aiming for a $99 launch price.” Yeah, it’s a dirty rumor, but could it be done? Doing so would put the Revolution in a league of its own, practically excusing it from the next-gen battle. It simply wouldn’t be competing with the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 if it were wearing a $99 price tag.

Well, the answer that $ony has come up with is that they want to make their money out of games, so the PSP (PlayStation Portable) automatically upgrades its internal software occasionally whenever a new hole in its defences against home-brew software is discovered. That’s the problem for home-brew creators: they need to hack the console to let it play non-official releases. Its a real battle of the titans, on one side you have a whole planet of determined hackers who want to get the best out of their machine and use it to play the things that they want to (which is fair enough, if they own it they should be able to do what they like with it - although I suspect that’s not the legal perspective) and on the other side you have $ony trying to patch up holes as soon as they are found.
