Should You Buy All the GT5 Crap?

You guys probably heard that GT5 is being judged based on the really minor glitches and bad details the game has, and reviewers aren't looking at the game as a whole but just looking at the bad parts of the game.

If you don't know what Gran Turismo 5 is, go look it up and continue reading, because you really should know what it is. Anyway, as I was saying, GT5 is getting really modest review scores like 8/10 and 4/5, but does it deserve these scores? NO, it deserves much, much better scores! Have you ever seen a racing game do so much? The countless cars, the incredible tracks, the huge variety of gameplay!

You get more than 1000 cars, 200 of which are premium cars, which are cars that are designed with incredible detail and support cockpit view for the first time in a GT game. But the game is criticized by the lack of detail in standard cars. Well, look at other racing game cars, then at GT's standard cars. See the difference? The standard cars are definitely good looking, but compared to the premium cars, people find a huge difference.

Also you get a lot of variety in gameplay like Karting and Rally aside from the incredible damage system later on in the game. And with an incredible multiplayer mode that just can't get any better, this is definitely the Racing Sim of all time! Buy it or miss out on an massive, incredible game.

Black Ops Kicks Ass

I'm sure most of you have bought one of the most anticipated games this year, Call of Duty: Black Ops. Well, I bought it too and I have to say, the Modern Warfare 2 killer is here! First off let's start with the single player campaign. Sure, when we first played Modern Warfare 1, we loved the campaign, it was something new and intriguing. But with the release of MW2, things just got repetitive. And that's where Black Ops comes in. The single player campaign in Black Ops is outstanding! This time, there is an actual story that doesn't just tell you to shoot people for no reason. The plot is great and unpredictable, I won't tell you more but you'll love it!

Multiplayer is also really improved. I remember when I used to play MW2 and sometimes it took about 10 minutes to find a game and that was really a pain in the ass. But in Black Ops, 10 seconds is the most it took ... EVER! I didn't expect it to be that fast, but it was. And also, with the new Wager Matches and the great amount of customization, this is definitely a better experience than Modern Warfare.

More Super Meat Boy Character Announced

If you are like me, you're probably excited for Super Meat Boy. And with new character announcements getting better and better, could anyone not like it? Well, there are two more characters announced for Super Meat Boy, and those are Headcrab from Half-life and the Goo Balls from World of Goo! But there's a catch. You can't get both since Headcrab is exclusive for the Steam version of the game, whereas Goo Balls are exclusive for the non-Steam versions.

 

And now, there is only two more characters to be revealed, and all we have are their outlines. Any guesses? 

Remeber the Broken TV Due to Kinect?

Remember when I wrote about the dude who broke his brand-new TV while using the Kinect? Well, Penny Arcade just released a comic strip that I just couldn't resist not showing it to you guys. Well, here it is:

Comment and let me know what you think about it!

Some Great GT News

I know, I know, I've been talking a lot about Gran Turismo lately, but it's not my fault! A lot of news about Gran Turismo has been going around lately, with the delay of the release date and the stamping of discs and all that other news. But this time I have some good news, and I think you will all love it!

Gran Turismo 5 has a FINAL(Yes, it's final) release date which is November 24! I know, it's so close! And I know most of you are going to buy it on day 1, and buying a game on day 1 is risky. But who cares? I'm buying it on day 1 too, I'm too excited! Well, do you think this is really the final release date or does Kaz want to make the game even more "perfect"?

You Buy Black Ops, You Buy Another Game Too

2:12 PM

Black Ops just released a few hours ago, and it was discovered that not only do you get the incredible campaign and multiplayer action, you also get a little extra something.
After entering the game, you are introduced to the menu. It's a man, sitting in front of a TV screen. The screen having all the options of the game. But, if you are able to find out how, you can get off the chair and walk around, finding a little computer somewhere in that room.
When you sit on the computer, you need to enter a code, and you are greeted with a super-fun arcade game called Dead Ops Arcade! Sounds fun right? Well it is! It's a 2D game where you get guns and RPGs to fend off zombies of all kind.
This is not the original zombie mode of the game, obviously, but it's a really cool arcade game and everyone should try it! Just figure out how to make it to the PC, the internet is filled with tutorials, and let me know what you think.

Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas?

11:23 AM
Yesterday I just bought Fallout: New Vegas from the local video games store, and I thought it would be interesting to list the differences between Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, and to help you decide which one you should buy.
Well, first of all, graphics between Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas are practically the same thing, but New Vegas has slightly improved graphics. But that's no major difference and I don't think graphics should be an element that will affect your choice.

Check out this awesome Bloody Mess cake!

Fallout 3 is obviously older, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It has more add-on content, and all lags and problems are fixed, if there were any in the first place. Whereas New Vegas is, well ... new. And it's filled with lags as you read in a previous post I wrote. But although it's new, it has some really awesome creatures, weapons, and gameplay material. The most awesome one being hardcore mode which lets you play the game with tough elements like dehydration and ammo weight...
But which one should I choose? you ask. Well, in my opinion, New Vegas has real potential, and from what I've seen, it's really, really, really great. But, I can't make the decision for you, so make your own, and think wisely.

Do Not Play Naked!

5:52 PM
Follow the above advice wisely, and don't play any, and I mean any Kinect game naked, or you'll be embarrassed like the girl above.
She had no idea the Kinect took pictures while a person is playing, and so decided to play naked. But she was surprised when she later figured out that photos were taken, and she found no way of deleting them.
So please, if you love humanity, don't play any video game naked.

Someone Already Broke His TV With Kinect

4:05 PM
Can you feel any worse than Phil Villarrea? He was the first, yes the first person to break his TV with Kinect. And what's even worse was that the TV was brand new, and now he has no way to enjoy his Kinect.

Poor TV, crying rainbow tears.

How did he break it, you ask? Well, he hit the chain that comes dangling down the ceiling's fan, which hit the TV, breaking it. Poor Phil.

Let this be a warning to all, stick to the controller. Or just be careful for god's sake!

More Awesome News: Development Is Underway on GT6

He created it. He can destroy it... But he won't, hopefully!

As a follow-up to yesterday's awesome news, we got some more awesomeness to be told! Kaz announced in a recent interview at the 2010 SEMA Show that GT6 development is underway.

But don't get too excited though, it took GT5 5 years to be released after GT4, so we can expect this to take even more time if Kaz wants it even more "perfect", which is his excuse for all the GT5 release delays. But if this game is released, and it meets my expectations, which are high, all is forgiven Kaz!

News of The Day: The GT5 Discs Are Being Stamped Right Now!

Nope, this isn't an illusion, nor is it a dream, this is REAL! Recently, Kazunori, the genius behind GT5, announced that, "The [GT5] discs are being stamped as we speak" in an interview at SEMA!

I'm guessing that's the motion he did with his hands when he announced this? Who cares?!

This is really exciting news, as we can expect GT5 to be released before the Holidays! And you know what that means! I'm sure most, if not all, of the PS3 owners will have a GT5 disk under his Christmas tree, if not already opened and inside his Playstation!

I don't know about you but this really got me excited! I mean seriously, aren't you guys excited for this too?

Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Glitches, bugs, problems. These are all things we despise in video games! But what do you do when a great game got released, and it could have been the greatest game of the year, if it wasn't for all the glitches? Do you buy the game, and try to live through the frustrating glitches, or just wait for months before the game is stable again?

Well, that's the decision I'm facing right now. As you should know, Fallout: New Vegas was released earlier, and it is filled with bugs and glitches. Actually, it has so much bugs, that the game got popular because of that! With youtube videos spreading all across the Web showing different bugs and glitches, I was sort of let down by that. For example take a look at the video below:



Obviously this will drive people away from this game since this is the opening scene of the game, and it's usually what makes the game count!

So what do you think I should do? Buy the game now, or wait and get it later?
