  Soulcalibur IV, quick thoughts on E3

  
  
  Well, it's happened, I've made yet another blog post. I just haven't had the time lately to do anything. But oh well, last Tue I picked up Soulcalibur IV Premium Edition (the one that puts like an $80 dint in my wallet) for the PS3... yes I said PS3 not the 360.
  I haven't really had time to play the game... but I do know my brother owns at it. Out of the 60 or so matches he's done he's lost only 10 (some of them due to people way higher then him, and a few due to him picking the wrong character). And ATM he's ranked at #193 on the Leaderboard.
  If anyone wants to pick me up for a match (and I don't think many people on my friends list here has a PS3 XD) my PSN is on my profile.
  And no Cam, I didn't want to get it for the 360, I wanted the PS3 ver because I need more PS3 games. XD
  
  
  
  
  Ok, here are just a few of my thoughts on E3 (very very short).
  
  Press Conference ~
  
  Microsoft Press Con: Awesome, had a lot of good games and really done well.
  
  Nintendo Press Con: C R A P. They showed almost nothing, and then they had what's her face stand up there for like 5 hours talking about how she broke her hand, and they had pics to go along with it!
  
  Sony Press Con: It was okish, kind of dull and I wish it had more games, but over all I think it was good enough.
  
  
  Games I'm looking forward to ~
  
  Microsoft: Fallout 3
  The game looks awesome, it's also made by the people who made Oblivion, so it looks like it's going to be pretty good. To tell you the true what done me in for wanting this game (and I'm not kidding on this) is watching the gameplay on G4. They had the head dude or whatever there and he was playing the game. And he had a gun that.... fired teddy bears..... you don't believe me? Click below. XD

  Nintendo: Wii Sports Resort
  Really... what's there to go "OMG!" over when it comes to Nintendo and their little "show"? So I'm just going to say Wii Sports Resort because the gamae looks okish and I like the new add-on.
  
  Sony: Resident Evil 5/Final Fantasy XIII
  Ok, you're wondering why I have RE5 and FFXIII on here? Well... because I want FFXIII more then any other PS3 game at this moment, but since it wasn't shown at the Sony stuff.... yea.
  
  A few other games: Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2, The Lord of the Rings: Conquest, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, MAG, Call of Duty: World at War
  
  Final thoughts ~
  
  Microsoft: BURN..... Them getting Final Fantasy XIII just BURNED Sony big time. IMO FFXIII going to the 360 is the biggest news this E3.
  What I'm ify about is the new Dashbaord. I like the new things it has to offer, but I don't know if I like the looks of it. IMO the blade system is a great system, does it need to be changed?
  Oh... and I just love their ideas for the "Miis" they got going.
  
  Nintendo: I like the new add-on for the Wiimote, I think that's going to be awesome, and I have high hopes for it. I just hope some third party people will put it to good use... because I just don't see it happening that much with Nintendo.
  Oh... and should I even say something on Wii Music?...
  
  Sony: They didn't do the worst but I just have very little to say about Sony. They had a few ok games, and maybe losing FFXIII to the 360 is what hurt me with Sony a little (personally, I wanted XIII only on the PS3). And at the same time I can't really remember what went on at their Press Con... Oh well, I just know it wasn't as bad as Nintendo's.

  New game (BF:BC), and MOTW on Backloggery

  
  
  All of you must be getting sick of seeing this banner. XD
  Anyway, around a week ago (June 23rd) I picked up Battlefield: Bad Company (Gold Edition) for the 360. The game is ok, the humor in the single player is good... even if it's a little cheesy sometimes. As for the online... it takes time getting used to, but personally I like CoD4 better (OMG who saw that coming?). I like being able to drive a tank, or flying a chopper... but when it comes right down to shooting CoD4 is far better. But none the less, the game is ok and if any of you have it just invite me to a game if you can catch me online.
  
  
  
  
  And on a random note... I don't know how many (if any) of you are a member of Backloggery. But this week I've been picked as "Member of the Week" (MOTW) on there. Kind of strange because I was the last MOTW for June, and my friend Erica was the first MOTW for June. Talk about awesome. XD

  My new PlayStation 3, the 360 is back, a few new games, MGS 1, 2, and 3 beat

  
  
  Last Thursday I spent over $700 on games and such. The reason behind this is because I got a PlayStation 3. In other words, I have now gone PSWii60 as well as DSP (I've always wanted to say that XD). That means I now own every current gen console and handheld. I'd have to say it's not that bad. XD
  The PS3 I got was the PlayStation 3 Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle. Meaning I got MGS4 (that I'm going to sell... you'll see why in a min), the new Dual Shock 3 controller, and the the 80 gig PS3 (the one that they dropped and is now back). I got it for $500, and I got it at Wal-Mart so they gave me a $100 giftcard. And with that card I got some HDMI cables (gotta use them HDMI ports on my 37" HDTV... it'd be a waste if I didn't XD), I got another Dual Shock 3, I got this little charging stand thingy that has a nice light show when charging the PS3 controller, and I got Burnout Paradise for the PS3. All of that is over $100, but I only had to pay like $40 or so due to the gift card. So over all it was a great deal.
  But before that I went by GameStop and picked up my pre-order for "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (Limited Edition)". Now that's why I'm going to get rid of the MGS4 copy that came with the PS3 (I got the Limited Edition so I don't need an extra copy). I also picked up the guide for MGS4 (I wanted the Limited Edition one but they said they ran out at the midnight launch). And I also got Ninja Gaiden II (well, it's my brother's game so he's going to pay me back when he gets the money). All of that topped out at around $170. So over all I spent over $700 (tax and all) on the PS3, some games, and some other things. And it was worth it. And if anyone here just happens to have a PS3 then my PSNID is Red_Dragon_088 (it's also on my GSProfile thingy).
  
  And now for pics, because everyone loves pics. XD

  I got the 360 back last Wednesday (the day before I got the PS3... strange). And I got a free month of XBL, so that means I'm back and ready for CoD4, and BF:BC (Battlefield: Bad Company) that I'll be picking up on launch day. I downloaded the BC demo and it was pretty good, different then CoD4, but still I LOVE blowing things up in Bad Company and I can't wait to try it online (well, it has the online part of the demo, but I mean full online).
  
  Also, all three Metal Gear Solid games has been beat, so now I can move on to MGS4... And I've got to say, they were great games (I wish I had got them sooner) but MGS2 was so confusing. XD
