Greetings and happy new years everyone. Well this blog post is all about what I got this holiday season, and this holiday season was prolly the best year ever. For the 360 I got Call of duty 4, Mass Effect, and The orange box. All three of these games are freakin amazing, I really love CoD4's online multiplayer, Mass Effect is a really awesome sci fi RPG with astory and universe I totally find myself getting stuck in, and The Orange box pretty much speaks for itself with Half life 2 and the 2 eps, portal, and TF2, Portal is really fun and unique and TF2 is actually surprisingly better then what I thought it would be on the 360 based onwhat people were saying about lag and what not.

And I also had around $450 saved up and during the holiday season I managed toget enough money to shoot my total up to $600 and I went out and got the 40 gig PS3 with Oblivion GOTY, UT3, and Warhawk, All three of these games are pretty amazing too, especially Oblivion GOTY, I really love the visuals, gameplay and role playing elements in it. UT3 is awesome, its the same good ol UT you remember from the past with a graphical improvement with some gameplay and weapon tweaks, plus the maps are really good, there arent really many maps I dont like and Online is very fun and there are a pretty good number of players playing with low lag. And Warhawk is a pretty good online shooter, and the bluetooth headset is pretty nice, but it would be nice if epic would fix the whole headset problem with UT3.

And finally, I got the ultimate non video game gifts of all time, Dragonball z seasons 1,2, and 3 remastered on DVD, I absolutly love DBZ and I highly recommend you go and buy these if you are a fun of DBZ, they are only $30 a season and season 4 comes out in feb.

That is what I got for the holidays and Ive been playing the games non stop since ive gotten them, I hope you all had a good holiday season and I hope you all have a great year.

Hello anyone who actually reads this, which is not many. I am writing today to say that I am getting Assassin's Creed this Friday and I absolutly cannot wait for it. I dont care that the game is getting some shaky reviews, I have been with gamespot since 2003 and I have my full faith in them and they have always been right on when dealing with my opinion of games.

Anyways, Assassins Creed just looks absolutly kickass and I cant wait to play it, If anyone who hasent played it by the end of this week wants to know how it is, just PM me and I will tell you all about it with out spoilers if you'd like.

L8R!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last night, I, Like many others, was sitting at my PC a little before 8 EST in hopes of getting an early invite to the CoD 4 beta, and at 8, as I predicted, the charlie oscar delta site crash, but luckily I had already been in some forums and this dude got through and post the info we need to answer and send to an email to hopefully get into the early very limited first wave. I got my email sent out at about 20 mins after 8 EST, and I stayed up chatting in the forums until about 11:30 and I went to bed. I woke up this morning and checked my email, and there it was, a message with the subject of Cod4Beta. I got Accepted!!!!!!!!!!!! I got a long email that Im not gonna post and it had the key, and right now as I type this the game is up and running on my 360, Ive already enjoyed a couple matches but that is all im gonna say, because right now im not suppose to give out any info to the public because the official public beta has not yet began, sign up for that will begin at the end of the week or something, I just got very luck and got picked to be part of the very limited first wave. Infact its so limited there is less then 1000 people on the games overall stats board.

Well, Good luck getting in if you tried last night, remember, you could get an email sometime today or even at the end of the week, and if not, the official public beta sign up begins sometime later this week, and that will be more easy to get in and it will all be done through the site Charlieoscardelta.com instead of having to email **** to them. Well, im gonna play some more CoD 4, Its really sweet, it will blow you away, thats all the more I can say.

LOL, My question about Hour of Victory madeit on the show, it was very funny, at least I thought it was, Jeff made it sound even funnier then what I originally intended it to be. Plus he also read my Duke Nukem Forever one.

Incase you are wondering, in the hour of victory question he reads my name as KC because thats what I put down in my emails, which its just my first and last initial, and in the Duke Nukem Fornever one he saysKyle because I guess he prolly saw my name in the Email browser part which would refer to me as Kyle because thats my name. So I got 2 questions on one show.

If you havent listend to the Hotspot this week, you should go listen to it here, If you have never heard of it you should also go and listen to it, or you can also get it on Itunes.

I am very excited about this new game from Id, Its called Rage, incase you didnt know. Its being powered by the latest game engine from John Carmack, the Tech 5 Engine. Rage is a combat car game mixed with about 50% of the run and gun action usually seen in Id games, at least thats what John Carmack has said. If you havent been to the QuakeCon page or seen the movies of the new engine in action then I highly recommend you go and check it out here. In the Tech 5 Engine show case movies, John shows off just how easy and fast developers can add lots of details to their worlds, and the level they were showing off, which was a desert canyon, Looked absolutely amazing. It was obviously, out doors, and then during the demo he also showed off the engines interior power, he switched to a first person mode and started walking inside to an area in the middle of the level which had a guy, wholooked like a merchant, inside and the interior looked great which I expect because that is usually Id's strong point, but the guys face also looked very impressive, the animation was very nice.

At QuakeCon John also announced that they are bringing Quake 3 Arena to XBL Arcade in the form of Quake Arena Arcade, This announcement excited me alot because Quake 3 arena is one of the best online multiplayer games of all time. John also hinted at possibly bringing Quake 3 to the DS which would be awesome, but that is just something John would like to do, not going to do, so as of right now its pretty much up in the air and I think they should because seriously, anytime they can take a game like Doom, Doom 2, Quake 1-3 and bring them back out to a hot console for $10, or $30 if its on the DS, they make lots of money for something that does not take that much time or money to do, and they start to profit right away from something they made about a decade ago and have already made lots of money off of.

Here's to Id in having great success with Rage, Quake Arena Arcade, and hopefully a DS port of Quake 3.
