Hey, just a quick line to let you in on a new community that I have gotten involved in and I highly recommend you do too.

It's called Goozex. It's a gaming website where you can buy games, but the real attraction is there game trading system.

You trade games amongst other gamers rather than actually buying them.

Gamers post up games they have, you use the Goozex currency to "buy" the game, then they ship it to you, and they pay for shipping!

You can trade games to get points, or if you aren't into that you can buy 100 points for 5 bucks. So far I have gotten Metroid Prime, Manhunt, Splashdown Rides Gone Wild, Neverwinter Nights, Kung Fu Kaos, Star Wars BattleFront 2(PSP), Knights Of The Old Republic, Halo 2, and Omikron: The Nomad Soul....

...All for 100 points, or, if you don't want to trade for $5 each.... pretty cheap and very easy.

Anyway, here is the link, I hope you try it out and like it as much as I do…

Hi Everyone,

Well, after a significant break from Gamespot I have decided to return. I haven't been around lately for many reasons, like school and essays and friends and school and essays and also essays. But I'll be around a bit more often now that things are starting to calm down.

So....

Firstly, I ask you to take this news with a grain of salt, but I have some fairly reliable info that tells me that EA, as in Electronic Arts is SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING coming out with something new in the next few years. And by something new I don't mean a new game. Now, I've already said too much, and I don't want to get anyone in trouble, so I'm not going to tell you anything else. But please, trust me, its reliable.

However, this isn't good. There are enough Mediocre EA products on the Market Right now, we certainly do not need a big project like this coming out and making the market even more confused.

Anyway, that's that.

So there you have it. I should probably go I'm supposed to be getting some Education right now and I'm not paying attention. And someone just said the word "TEST".

Have a good day all,

Well im pissed off, and you should be too. At this point I'm still unsure if the rumors are ture. Nobody except for those involved really knows what it truly hapening in this situation. However, at this point the evidence, such as the new Penny arcade comic, various people refusing to talk, and the lack of denial, is pointing towards the sad reality that all of this may be true.

Well, I'm just going to complain for one second, but I just wanted to point out how big a deal this all really is to the gaming community.

First off, its not the loss of Jeff G. that I'm talking about. He was a good writer, and a funny guy but really, that's not the issue here. The issue is that this entire fiasco is all about the denial of the freedom to write whatever he wanted to write. Apparently his giving an honest opinion of a game (which I totally agree with, Kane and Lynch is disgustingly awful) got him in trouble with the games financial backers, Eidos, and now he is out of a job.

So basically, the fact that he wrote something the Eidos guys didn't like got him fired. BUT!!!!! It's important to consider the fact that it obviously wasn't Eidos that fired him. It was our once beloved Gamespot.

Are they really that influenced by their sponsors that they are willing to let go their primary personality to make them happy?

I realize that finances are important but have Gamespot become the sponsor's puppet?

We will see.

I fear for the state of gaming journalism.

This is a dark time for our hobby, and four our site. Lets Hope they get it all worked out sooner rather than later.

Drop us all a line and let us know what you think about this very crappy situation.

Hey all, Its been a while. Work, University, Family, Vacation. Well, enough excuses, ill be around a bit more often now.

Anyway onto my big news.

Anyone ever hear of a little game called Assasins Creed? Probaly, that is if you arent dead or have just decided to get interested in videogames today and my blog is the first place you came. Anyway, In my fair nation of Canada there is alot of Hype going on about this game. It was developed here, in Montreal by Ubisof, so there is a sence of pride to be had from a game that is made close to home.

So on one simple, in a simple Canadain game store, Microplay, I saw an add for Assasins Creed. It told me to go to...

www.thecreedchallenge.ca

So i did. And im so glad I did. After a quick sign up, a quick play of a simple double click game.....

I WON A $5000

DOLLAR

GAMING PC!!!!!

It was really that easy! It took me like 10 minutes and now I will soon have the new NX Fusion II Elemtal Gaming PC. This PC is AMAZING. Im not sure of the specs but Lets just say that $5000 will get me a more than capable PC.

So yeah, If you like Free Stuff, and If you live in Canada (Sorry My Americain and Overseas Brothers) Then go to this site and win yourslef some cool Assasins Creed Swag, A 360, or maybe even the other gaming PC. SO get to it!

Can Any Shooter Stand Up To Halo 3?

With other high profile games on the way like Haze, Killzone 2, The Darkness, and Crysis, does anyone believe that any of these games can compete with the 10005080 tone freight train that is Halo 3?

Although some of these games promise to be excellent and look like they will deliver, does the hype of Halo 3 alone outweigh any chance that they have to be successful, because we all know that Halo 3 would sell even if Bungie just shoved some dog crap in the box and told you to throw it at your parents.

Personally I dont think that any game, regardless of its pedagree or its outcome, can or will stand up to Halo 3, thats not to say that Halo 3 will be a better game than any of these other games, that is simply based on the ridiclious ammounts of Hype and fan love that surround this series.

What do you think?

Just a month ago I would have cursed the name of anyone who dared to say that Metal Gear Should come to the 360. I didn't like the series but it was one of the few glimmers of hope left for my beloved Sony. However, now, I believe that the series should go multiplatform.

I, AA7, was for a very long time one of the few people on the earth who honestly HATED the Metal Gear Solid series . I HATED it. The camera angle pissed me off, the Looooooong cut scenes pissed me off and I hated Snakes Arrogant character.
 
But all of that has changed. After putting in some quality time with MGS: The Twin Snakes for the GameCube, I am now deeply in love with the series. I love the camera angles, I love the Looooooong cut scenes and Snake is one of my new favourite characters.

This series is too good to be missed.

So basically the conclusion that I am coming to is this: Share the greatness.
 
This series is fantastic and no gamer should be deprived the joy of playing it.

Why not allow the series that gamers praise and love to be praised and loved by all?

Hmmmm???
Is it really worth one of the best series available to not reach a wide audience just to be selfish and keep it all to Sony?
I don't think so.
Do you?
