Gold Emblem and E3 Day 2 Summary

Lol finally, I got the Gold E3 Emblem. I barely watched Day 3 of E3 right now, and 15 or so minutes later, I got the emblem:



Hey Louie, the man is dry. Give him one on the house, OK?
These special viewers caught all three days of GameSpot's live stage show at E3 2008. They braved the good and saw the best to be the straightest shooters around. This emblem is on the house.

Looks good on my profile It's good so far, I saw some footage of Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, and WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009. I missed Madden 09 and Halo Wars, but nothing big. I'm going to keep watching because I want to see some more Dead Space, I guess some more Far Cry 2, Pure, Red Faction, SoulCalibur IV and Guitar Hero: World Tour. Should be good.

E3 Day 2 Live Summary: It was a good show I missed some footage of Killzone 2 Demo and LittleBigPlanet but the rest was interesting. I saw some more Red Alert 3 footage. Awesome, it's been confirmed Tanya will make an appearance in the game, and I guess, the Soviets erased Einstein and created an alternate future of some sort...Crysis Warhead was also there, Spore, and more about BIA: Hell's Highway. I think this game's going to be good. Gameplay was great and the storyline is vey dark, something different that we see from other WWII-based games. I had my doubts about Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, but seeing more gameplay footage, I think it's going to be an interesting game as well. Mercenaries 2: World in Flames also impressed.

I kind of missed some Tomb Raider: Underworld because I left my PC to eat some food ...anyway, Resident Evil 5 looked so awesome. The gameplay was based on the RE 4, and some elements were also present in the demo (not to mention Chris Redfield getting his head chopped by the Chainsaw guy). A new character, Sheva is present, and some parts in the game you get to play as her (she's pretty hot by the way). The rest was alright, and I did not expect Project Origin to be there, but man, it looks good so far, so I cannot wait

So that sums up of what happened or interested me at Day 2 E3 Live. I'm still watching some Day 3 right now, and so far, I've seen some Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, and some Smackdown vs. Raw. Aww man I missed SOCOM footage. Oh well...I'm still itching to see. Well, according to the lineup today, Far Cry 2 should be there again, some Red Faction, and Dead Space. Guitar Hero: World Tour and Soulcalibur IV should be interesting, so I'm going to stick around to see that. Well I'm off. I'm glad I got the Gold Emblem.

Who else got it!??

E3 Review and New Emblems

Well, E3 is here, and I expected alot of things, mainly games from all 3 consoles. Overall, I found all 3 Conferences (Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony) to be pretty much disappointing. To say the least, they weren't better than last year's, and it did not turn out like I wanted it to be.

Microsoft E3 2008: Well, I'm actually watching it right now, since I missed the first day of E3 on July 14. Microsoft didn't really catch my attention that much, it was alright, I guess, and the only games that interested me were Gears of War 2, Resident Evil 5 and Fallout 3, and the rest of the conference didn't really interest me at all. Ok, Gears of War 2. Saw the demo, love it. Was awesome. Gameplay looks good, and the new cover system should be better for getting away from bullets. Well they said it's gonna be longer than the first one, and they showed a few levels so it was good. Can't wait until it comes out. And Fallout 3 isn't looking bad at all, so I'm expecting more from that. And the biggest news of all; the announcement of final Fantasy XIII...to the 360. I was like, "WHAT!?!!?!?" That was the most shocking news out of all. I am at a loss for words....I couldn't believe it... What's up with the avatars thing? If you ask me, they copied that from Nintendo (like the Miis).

Nintendo E3 2008: Ok, I didn't miss this one, and Nintendo had the shortest presentation out of the whole 3 game companies. I guess they had an hour-long presentation, and I have to tell you; Nintendo was the most disappointing out of all. They didn't show that much at all. They pretty much talked about how their sales for the Wii and DS have gone up and how they're "bridging the gap" between male and female gamers. Lame. The only game that interested me (if only for a little bit) was Wii Sports Resort and the Wii Music thing. And...that's all they showed. I was like, "Wait...what...that's it!?!" I was pretty much annoyed. Where's Mario? No Link? No Samus? I was expecting another Metroid trilogy or another Zelda sequel, or Mario Ping-Pong or something, but nothing. they didn't show anything of that at all. It was just terrible.

Sony E3 2008: Ok, Sony was pretty good, and I think. I think it had the best presentation out of all the 3, but that doesn't mean it was great. It was pretty disappointing, and for the first half or so they talked about the PS2 and PSone, and how they want to keep the PS2's cycle going to reach the 10-year mark. Ok, alot of people say that the PS2 is dead. Hello!! PS2 is still selling and still strong. Anyway, the PSN additions like that movie rentals and purchases were pretty interesting. Ok, but I wanted to know more about the games. Games!!! Anyway, I thought LittleBigPlanet was good, and oh man, Resistance 2 was just awesome. Now that's a game that I would buy for the PS3. Outstanding. And wow I did not expect Resistance to go to the PSP. Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty was alright. Ok, I was expecting more. Then they showed a God of War III trailer. What!?! I was expecting like gameplay footage or something, but the trailer didn't show much. OMG...but MAG was good. 256 players online? Now that's massive. And I was expecting Killzone 2, Motorstorm, and Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII, but nothing!!! Crap!!! I was expecting all that, but I didn't get what I wanted. Disappointing, I have to say.

Overall, it was alright, and disappointing at the same time. Not what I expected at all. Well I just have to wait for the other games I expected to just be announced by themselves.

Anyway, since I saw Nintendo's and Sony's press conferences, I got these emblems:


Virtually There: E3 2008 Nintendo & Sony Conferences
For tuning into GameSpot's E3 2008 live broadcast of both the Sony press conference and the Nintendo press conference on Tuesday, July 15.


I'd like to ask you a few questions.
This dedicated individual didn't just show up to watch one day of GameSpot's E3 2008 live show coverage, they showed up two days. Chances are good they came with more than a few questions and hopefully found all of our papers in order.

Right now, I'm watching Day 2 of E3. I only watched 1 hour of Day 1 yesterday, but I hope I can get through the whole day watching Day 2. Then day 3 tomorrow.

Happy Independence Day!! (100th Blog Edition)

Yo what's up everyone!! It's that time of year that we celebrate our nation's independence. Happy Independence Day, it's July 4!!!

What do you guys have planned today? I'm in my uncle's house right now and we'll be here all night I guess, watching the fireworks display on TV. Shame, I wanted to see live ones Oh well maybe next year.

Sorry I've been gone for a while. I actually served my dreaded GS suspension for a whole week, and I'm back now. Lol man I should be careful next time

So I got my stuff back, and I'm happy. I can finally finish playing Persona 3: FES. Been playing it for hours everyday since I got it back. I've also started playing MGS3: Snake Eater but I suck at it to tell you the truth, I've never played any MGS games before, so I'm still trying to get used to the whole thing. I don't know what I'll do for the rest of the summer, since I got once more month to go Shame...I wanted it to be longer...oh well.

So that's about it. Happy 4th of July again guys and gals. I'll be here from time to time. Peace!!

asian_pride's Best Video Game Endings. Honorable Mention
Hello all Well I'm guessing you're wondering why I'm still doing this stupid thing. Lol I don't know really just for the hell of it I guess Basically, this part of the segment shows the 5 game endings who didn't make the top ten. Here goes:

#15 Resident Evil 4
-Zombies, zombies, zombies. In Resident Evil 4, it was damn good. Intense and scary as it is, the ending didn't disappoint. After you defeat Saddler, Ada makes you give her the sample, and mysteriously wonder why she survived at the beginning. Then she almost kills you and stuff...and Leon and Ashley make it off the island, and depending on how you did at the game, depends on how the ending will end.

#14 Jak II
-It stars Jak and Daxter on their second adventure where they're taken to the future via time rift. Jak eventually discovers that he's actually a resident of Haven City in the future, and he didn't actually exist in the past. And the kid, whom he encounters in the future, is actually Jak in his younger form. He then defeats the Metal Head leader and saves the world. What I liked about it is how the ending had a good plot twist and how the first one relates to the second one. Nice work Naughty Dog. Jak II was fun to play throughout, and had a fitting ending to it.

#13 Super Mario Bros. 3
-Mario games have been around long before most of us were even born yet, and revolutionized the way we look at video games today. I may be exaggerating, but that's just what I think, so deal with it. Who could ever forget that little Italian plumber who jumped, grabbed flags, ate mushrooms and grew big, and defeated a big dinosaur, all to save Princess Peach. I would have picked any of the Mario endings, but I guess they were all similar, since at the ending, Peach and Mario have their special moment together. Enjoy!

#12 Killer7
-One of the most surreal shooters ever to come out in the gaming world. Some of you know it, if you know SUDA-51, then you are pretty familiar with his work, one being No More Heroes. Ring a bell? He is also the creator of this surreal shooter. The story is very detailed, although it tends to confuse people at times. Although the ending was kind of a shock to me, when you find out that every member of the Killer7 syndicate was killed by Emir, and you find out at the end, Garcian is Emir, and he murdered these 6 personas before. As Garcian broke down, witnessing himself commit suicide, he opens the suitcase he always carries with him and figures out the final piece of his past memories. A bizarre ending for a bizarre game.

#11 Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
-Memento Mori. I guess this is the main theme of the Best PS2 RPG for 2007. Persona 3 had a cast of characters that most of us can relate to. You play a sullen, purple-haired boy who is orphaned and awakens a power called "Persona" in the game. It's kind of a second or "inner" soul of some sort. And the way to summon this Persona lies in the Evoker, kinda looks like a gun, but it's not really a gun. With it, they shoot themselves. In the head. Sounds fun...anyway, you go regularly to school, and fight Shadows in what they call the "Dark Hour". and as your school year unfolds, you are actually responsible from saving the world from Death. The Main Character sacrifices himself to seal Death away and saves the world, and at the cost of his own life. As everyone forgets about what happened, the Main Character gets another month to live. After the month is up, his friends start to remember that they were supposed to meet at the school rooftops when they graduate, and slowly, the MC falls into an eternal coma, a result from sealing Nyx away. What a sad way to end a game.

Well. That's it. Finally. It's over. There you go. Read 'em and weep. These are the ones that barely missed it. Bummer. Oh well lol That is all.
