Black & White

     I have heard word that Poke'mon Black and White are due to release soon.  I was a huge fan of this franchise a few years back so I thought I would pay homage by submitting a post for it.
      This time you are in the Unova region, Professor Juniper decides to give you and your two friends (Cheren and Bianca) three starter poke'mon.  They are Snivy (grass), Tepis (fire), and Oshawott (water).  Whichever ones you don't choose your friends will receive instead.
     She later gives you your poke'dex and then your off on your adventure.
     There was an event (in Maine) that gave away level 30 shiny Raikou (January 3-9), Entei (January 17-23), and Suicune (January 31- February 6).  If you had gotten them an transfered them to your Black/White game you would've been able to find the rare poke'mon Zoroark.  Due to my tardyness you can no longer recieve them, so if I am able I will send one to your ds system via internet transfer (I did not recieve the Raikou but do have Entei's and Suicune's up for grabs).
     As soon as I aquire wifi I will post my id # so that if you wanted you could recieve these poke'mon (free of charge).

WikiCheats

     I have bought everything in the game (Assassins Creed Brotherhood)  and have only found one glyph.  Due to this problem I have begun to look online, in the process I found WikiCheats.
     WikiCheats gives walkthroughs, strategies, achievement lists, cheats, Easter eggs, Flag and Feather locations, and a ton of other useful information.  I usually look down on sites like this because they provide inaccurate information, but everything I read on WikiCheats has worked so far.
     I don't recommend that you cheat, but if you are stuck on a game, any game, check out WikiCheats.

Resistence: Fall Of Men

     The U.S. and Britain band together in a last-ditch effort to save Europe and Asia from a horrific scourge. In mere decades, the Chimera – a species of unknown origin propagating a virus that converts other life forms into more Chimera – has overrun Russia and all of Europe. Humanity’s hope for survival is slim, and the tide of the battle rests on the shoulders of U.S. Army Ranger, Sgt. Nathan Hale. (PlayStation Quote)
     My first thought about this game when I first turned it on was simply. This game has terrible graphics for a Ps3 game. Then I got a little ways into it and decided that the game play more than made up for it.
     At first it was kinda difficult because you couldn't heal at all, then you get infected and the entire game falls into place. You start off with a simple rifle and slowly build up your arsenal.
     I recommend that you play this game, and those that come after it.

Halo Reach



     You already know how it all ends.... Now here's the beginning.
    The game opens with scenes of Reach's war-torn landscape, focusing on a SPARTAN's helmet discarded on the ground, its windscreen shattered. It then depicts the player character, Noble Six, joining Noble Team as a replacement for a fallen comrade... 
      There are more gaming modes than ever before.
     The object of the game is simple: every player you kill drops a skull. Collect as many as you can and deposit them into one of the designated territories to score. First to 25 wins unless a player manages to earn the elusive “Skullamanjaro” by capturing ten skulls all at once.
     Only one thing about this game confuses me, if the Brutes didn't show up until the 2nd then why are they in the prequel?

     I have played this game personally and must say that it is a step up from it's predecessors. You really should play this game!

Mass Effect 2

The default appearance of Commander Shepard in his space vessel the Normandy
       Earthkeeper checking in as a new member of Death's Castle.
        In English, the prefix bio means life. Recognizing this shows us just how well Bioware has lived up to it's name. Bioware is a gaming company that specializes in creating life-like behaviors and interaction in video games, their most recent being none other than Mass Effect 2. This title, released on January 26 of of last year, is an RPG slash third person shooter with a detailed story and complex character interactions.
        As you progress in-game you are given conversation options and choices that let you build your character's, Commander Shepard, personality. Choices you make can and most-likely will affect the story's outcome at the end of the game. You can make Sheperd Good or Evil. A tough guy or a pansy. The options are almost endless. And to top it all off, choices made in the previous game, Mass Effect, affect interactions in Mass Effect 2. The same would include for the upcoming title Mass Effect 3, the last game in the trilogy set to come out some time next year.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood

      At the end of Assassin's Creed 2 the Templar's had found Desmond and the animus.  They tore the place apart and the assassin's had to flee so Desmond could finish his training and find out what will befall our world.  They arrive at the Villa (from the second game) and set up shop.  Once the do you get back in the animus and explore Rome.
     This has the first multi player mode seen in the series.  It is awesome!
     I own this game and wouldn't give it up for the world.  If you haven't yet tried it you really should.

Blood Rayne 2

     This game takes place about half a century after the original.  In it Rayne vows to finish the job she started long ago and end Kagan's (her farther) reign.  He was killed years ago but his heirs live on and are now known as the cult of Kagan.  They are Rayne half-siblings and have created a mystical device know as the Shroud.
     The Shroud allows vampires to emerge into broad day-light unharmed.  With it they plan on carrying out Kagan's legacy.  It also twist nature into a perverse version where few of the prior laws still exist.  Where trees die in normal conditions, grass is prone to spontaneous combustion, and corpses literally turn in their graves.
     So in order to finish off Kagan's reign she must kill all of his offspring.  This game is the story of this hunt.  Enjoy.

Need4Speed: Undercover

you're not good... and you're not bad,
you blend and you listen... and you don't trust anyone,
once you go undercover... you're on your own.....
     Need For Speed: Undercover features the classic open world map that I am so fond of.  You start off with a car that is basically crap but after maybe a half hour into the game you can win another car (you could buy one before that but you wouldn't be able to afford it).
     Basically you are an undercover cop that is working with the FBI to take down a smuggling operation.  You slowly earn the locals trust (taking out cop cars along the way) and then take out the local gang leaders.  You then proceed to do this again in the neighboring areas.
     I found this game to be quite fun, from the races in general to the customizations that I could do to my car.  I highly recommend that you at least try this game out, and if you don't like it I will eat my hat.
(this if for the Ps3, Xbox 360, Pc, Ps2)

Prototype



     Discover what lies beyond the edge of evolution. An all-new, 3rd person open-world/action game, PROTOTYPE puts gamers at the helm of Alex Mercer ïïï a genetically mutated shape-shifter with no memory of his past hell-bent on solving the mystery of his existence as he tears through a densely populated New York City moving with Parkour-style fluidity and consuming anybody that gets in his way... assuming their physical identity, memories and abilities (PlayStation quote).
     I do not yet own this game, but I have borrowed it from my uncle a few times.  I must say that this is by far my favorite video game for the Ps3.  If you haven't played this game yet you really should look into it, and then buy it, I know I'm going to buy it.

Cheaters

     To cheat or not to cheat.  That is a conversation I have heard many times.
     If you cheat it helps you finish the game faster, easier, and at times in a more fun fashion.  Most of the time cheats make the game simpler for you, but I have come across some that do make the game more difficult, which also makes it more fun if you can still beat it.
     If you don't cheat you have a sense of accomplishment that you can't get if you cheat.
     I must admit that I have experimented with some cheats.  Even so I must say that I have formed my opinion on cheating.  I have decided that cheating defeats the whole purpose of the game and if you need to cheat to win then you have next to no talent or skill at gaming.

LittleBigPlanet2



     Sackboy is back again, in LittleBigPlanet2.  This time with several unique worlds to explore and over 50 levels to play (in game).
     You can still play the over 2 million levels that people from around the world have up-loaded from LittleBigPlanet (the original).
     If I'm not mistaken then there will be more tools which of course means more fun for everyone.
     LittleBigPlanet was the first game to appear in the Play Create Share genre.  I have yet to actual play it but I have heard nothing but good words on it.
     If what I have heard is wrong though I am going to be extremely disappoint, It sounds awesome.  I hope that it lives up to my expectations.
     So, going my what I have heard and read, I am going to buy this game when I is released!

Reign Of Blood

     You awaken in front of a city unaware of your surroundings. Climbing to your feet you notice a sign, "This way to Dead City" it reads in a eerie way. You know something is different about you. You know this is not a world you are familiar with. Though as you try to grasp the situation you realize you have no past memory of what has happen, leaving you with no choice but to venture forth to the ominous Dead City.
      Ever since November 22 I have been playing a game I found on the Internet.  It is a text based rpg game.  This means that in order to progress through the game you have to click on links.  It's not an in-depth game (by that I mean that you don't need to concentrate your entire mind on it to play, but it is difficult), I mainly play it for something to do, I'm not saying it's bad.  As this kind of game goes it's actually quite good.
     You are a vampire and you can kill other players to rank up and increase your stats (to either kill easier, die harder, or hit first).  You can train your stats, battle players, do quests, chat, etc.
     You can join a coven, or once you have the money you can form your own (like I did).  When you join a coven it gives you a stat boost, and some covens give you equipment (weapons and armor).  In return you earn them exp. for every kill you perform while in that coven, this can make that coven rank up and get it's members a larger stat boost!
      I quite like this game and recommend that you look into it.  If you do then look into joining my coven (Lycanthropes).  Reign Of Blood.

Copy's

     Have you noticed how Microsoft and Sony are now using the same gaming as Nintendo? I believe that it would be better if they could perfect their own systems before trying a new field of technology.
     The Move is somewhere between a Wii and the Kinect.  It features most of the buttons from a standard PS3 controller but with motion sensing technology thrown in.  So it is a (slight) step up form the Wii because it can detect what you do with your fingers (as long as they are close enough to the remote), this helps with the image of lets say, drawing an arrow to shoot, in order to release you have to move your fingers in a certain way.  I do have one worry though.  The price, its $99 just for the sensor and a controller!  Not to mention that some of the games require another controller (like the Wii's nun-chuck).  Also you need to have an PS3 first.
     The Kinect is a full body gaming system.  By this I mean that there is no controller.  You are the controller.  If you need your player to jump, you jump.  This is a serious improvement of the Wii's motion gaming.  The Kinect creates each individual player their own profile.  This means that even if somebody gets in front of you and dances around like an idiot it will only do what you want it to.  It cant be fooled!  I do have a few worries though, how do you run?  Also I hear that it is extremely expensive, up to $150 just for the Kinect and equipment.  You have to have an Xbox 360 first.
