  Thank you sony!

  For months now, i've been blogging and expressing my feelings for sony to step up. I thought that it started when mgs4 came out, but not that many people jumped on board.Since that day, sony has been firing their big guns as we have seen a plethora of quality titles worthy of any gamers attention. Despite all the quality put forth by sony, not that many jumped on the bandwagon. Finally just a couple of weeks ago, sony dropped the price, and now the gamers are finally jumping. Funny how gamers didn't flock with games but with the price. Whatever the reason, its okay, welcome to the family!

  but that isn't why i'm writing, i'm writing because i was one of the ones that jumped on because of trust in sony, when there was little to be optimistic about. The games soon followed after i joined, and that was what i was thankful for. I took a chance when i could have easily had instant gratification with a 360 (which i know would have bricked on me since i got hooked on cod4) which has a great library, but for some reason, i knew sony would deliver. AND IT DID IN A BIG WAY. playing kz2 sp and uncharted recently, i found myself having 2 much fun. As my cod4 obsession is dying (stupid lag) i turn to the sony exclusives, and i must say that these games are super awesome. I wish i had all the exclusives, but the ones i picked up are super awesone.

  • Uncharted has blown away any scepticism from the demo. it is a fullfledged AAA title imo, and i think the best sony exclusive ive played soo far.
  • killzone 2 is by far the best fps sp experience i've ever had. unlike cod, there is no infinite wave of bots and grenade spamming. The cover system really works well and every fps should have one if they want to consider giving us players immersive gameplay.
  • little big planet is the sibling game. My sister and i enjoy going through levels together. a great platformer and i'm still gushing over the whole cutesy and creative take on a platformer.
  • mgs4 is an awesome game that i havent been able to really spend time on because i haven't finished the first 3 games. the first level is awesome, and i still think is the best looking game this gen (until uncharted 2 comes out) i heard that a trophy patch is coming sometimie (rumor) so i can hold off a bit on finishing the game. one thing that tripped me out, is this was the first game my sister was interested in playing. thats how good this game is
  • gt5p is a demo, but a very damn good one. i litteraly love car shoping with this game. the visuals are top notch, and the driving physics is awesome...

  with all the great titles that have already come to the ps3, surprisingly the future releases seem to look much better. with uncharted 2, heavy rain, last guardian,gt 5 and all sorts of other games that i can't even remember right now, i'm having a hard time fitting this all into my budget. thank you sony! this generation has been an awesome experience and i look forward to many more

  My internet is wack and other things

  ok so i have this stupidly old tv thats as old as my sister that just failed on me. the av plugs got pushed in because it only had one set of av plugs while i was switching from my ps3 to cable. i had to switch to another room and now the signal strength varies between 30% to 60%. this is a big problem when i play any online game as i lag like a mutha especially when i play call of duty. my signal dips from green to red every 5 seconds. so my k/d ratio has been fluctiating and i can no longer rush with my m40 sniper with acog because of the lag. worse, everyone thinks i'm lag glitching....its sooo frustrating. not only that but my comp seems to not connect to the gateway so i'm left with my laggy ps3 for my internet. anyone who touts the internet browser of the ps3 as a great feature must be smoking something cuz its barely functional and very clunky without a keyboard and mouse.

  meanwhile, i started my buying spree again (not as bad as before) i have purchased the following games

  • skate 2
  • fight night round 4
  • street fighter 4
  • uncharted 1
  • brothers in arms: hells highway

  these games are pretty awesome (still sucking and sf4 though) and i'm especially surprised at how good uncharted is. i didn't particularly impressed with the demo, but i picked it up due to how good uncharted 2 looked. Well uncharted is awesome, and i can understand why soo many people say this is their favorite game this gen. awesome graphics and awesome gameplay, with terrific voice acting. 8.0 is hardly the score it deserves in gamespot.

  also ive been pleasantly surprised how fun gaining trophies are. i'm not hip to the idea of buying games like hannah montana to get platinum trophies, but i get satisfaction out of getting some trophies, especially if i don't have to deviate 2 much from my playstyle. i'm not addicted by any means, but its a welcome feature.

  one thing i am disapointed about is that i didn't finish any games over summer break thanks to call of duty. i spent all 2-3 months trying to get the 10th prestige and i became apart of a clan. how that happened was a bit weird. over winter,i taught one of my close homegirl how to play since all she did was watch me and his brothers and homeboys play. suffice to say she got good and she got addicted. she got a boyfriend and he played as well. also, his bestfriend plays, so we decided to make a clan. so if you see 4ZkN clan, thats us...or HUMPD clan (alternate mess around clan). oh almost forgot, i taught my little sister how to play call of duty she enjoys the quick scope, no scope technique. she has really good aim, but bad tactics. im trying to have my sister and my homegirl start an all girl clan.....so if any girls interested (i hardly doubt any girl reads my blog anyway) join up....

  lastly, if anyone has any tips on the boss fight on the bridge stage on killzone 2 , please lemme know since i'm getting frustrated with this flying mech. i know to shoot these blue rods to stun the mech, but switching from my a/r to the rocket launcher takes way 2 long. thats all for now folks

  a gaming update, not a gaming impression

  i'm not going to do any game impressions on here, but i just want to update the blog with what gaming things i've been doing.

  first off, i haven't been able to put down the game SKATE. its soo addicting. I'm not a skater or anything, but i have a love for skating games (closest thing for me to skating neway). It got to the point i started making highlight video's of what i've been doing. What i love soo much about this game is how i can skate realisticly. The environment is skating heaven...and i'm having fun trying to make my own realistic skate video's. Its challenging given i don't really know whats realistic to pull of or not...i just find a line, grind it...gap it, kick flip to nose manual switch kickflip out etc.... but what i do end up doing which might not be realistic is i keep trying to grind, gap 15 stairs, gap 5 stairs etc..... i think after my next vid i'm going to refrain from doing that. so yea...if you ever get the chance, check out my vid...comment and suggest what i can do better...i want to try to make the most realisitic montage as best i can and i need feedback...can't wait til i pick up skate 2

  i picked up sonics ultimate genesis collection because of 2 games -shining force 1 and shining force 2. When i was younger, i loved shining force to death though i couldn't beat the game. i don't know if its cuz of gameplay tweeks, or getting older meant i got smarter, but i breezed through it in 7-10 sessions. i still love the game and its still my 2nd favorite game of all time. i'm going to play shining force 2 next.

  speaking of finishing...this brings me to 4 games beat this year (i know pathetic number, but with skate and call of duty 4, i couldn't help it)

  • cod:waw
  • star wars force unleashed
  • shining force
  • skate

  ok these are all ps3 games i know, and i should end up tapping into my hundred plus game backlog from older systems, and i should...i'm planning to get into god of war 1 soon and mgs 1. i hope to finish killzone 2 soon (i have to restart a level cuz it auto saved when i had a sniper when i needed an smg or A.R. at the end of the level. hopefully i can beat at least 20 games this year (i have the whole summer off)

  okay i cut back on my game purchases by a lot. As much as there are soo many great ps3 exclusives coming out....i don't have any income and its really hard to find a job around here so i'm dwindling my list down to a couple of must have games. heres my list

  • modern warfare 2
  • tekken 6
  • fight night round 4 (picked up)
  • skate 2 (picked up)

  my other list of games that i am going to pick up as soon as i get steady income

  • resident evil 5
  • street fighter 4 (picked up)
  • infamous
  • uncharted 1 (picked upp)
  • uncharted 2
  • heavenly sword
  • god of war 3
  • final fantasy xiii
  • ff versus
  • mafia 2
  • resistance 1
  • resistance 2
  • assasins creed 2
  • gran turismo 5 (full game)
  • fallout 3
  • brothers in arms: hells highway (picked up)
  • prince of persia

  and when some games get cheaper, i hope to collect (since i am a collector at heart) all AAAe titles from sony....so sony better continue to do a good job in delivering to us some great content

  edit: oh incase you are interested in watching my skate montage...here it is
