Dead Rising

Played Dead Rising this week-end finally... i bought it one month ago at EB Games.

I like it...i enjoy killing zombies with different types of weapons, i dont really like to take pictures but it helps for upgrades so i'll do it anyways, i like the skills you get and the stats upgrade is great and I like the fact that you can save and replay the game but keeping your stats makes it less painful to start from scratch.

the bosses are really hard to deal with since sometimes you have no weapons, they're too hard sometimes ... i beat the clown because I had the two japanese with me shooting at him while I was going for the close attacks. anyways it was too hard otherwise...

the fact that my game that EB Games sold me was all scratched so some areas are not accessible for me since the game crashes...damn company cant sell games that work!!

so i couldn't experience the story so much since i needed to get somewhere i cant access...

hopefully i'll be able to play sooner or later

i'm not gonna buy any EB Games games anymore

update ---------------------------------------------------------------

So I finally got another copy and finished the game.

Liked the fact that there were multiple endings depending of how you played the game.

Really didn't like the military portion of the game cuz they kept respawning in the mall after I beat them which was already difficult and long...

Hated the fact that I had to wait 12 hours before the helicopter came in at the end of the game and the thing I hated the most ... the fact that I had to capture 10 Queens to get the medicine ... damn this took me soooooo long and it's really not fun at all to go back and try to kill so many zombies just to get 1 Queen so imagine 10! damn ... Konami could have ended my experience of the game in a more fun way.

Also, the fact that I had to restart my xbox everytime the military captured me otherwise I would be brought back in the world with no weapons etc ( like GTA ) ... who really wants to continue these games without the great weapons you collected before?!

anyways ... i played the game from start to finish once (with many restarts ) and I wont touch it ever again... I had some fun with my SMG and bosses but couldnt really save people and do the real missions at the same time

Gears of War

I just played through (im at the last boss battle) the game.

I really enjoyed it.

I liked the graphics : character models are great, the environment is well done (good covers and fits the architecture), the setting felt great. But I felt that sometimes they put a little too much gloss on some walls -> water on walls was too flashy i think.

the game is not only about graphics like some people have said...
- the cover system is great : it feels great and believable, all the options you have to move
to other cover spots or run or jump over obstacles.
- the protect your friend with the light gameplay is enjoyable yet not used for long (1 min)

-the diversity of enemies (even though sometimes they look like your friends when far
away)

-the different paths that you can take might give us a reason to go back to try out other
sections.

But... sometimes the AI is dumb : I hated Dom when he kept standing in front of the Berserker and kept dying over and over. I had to ask someone to play as Dom for that scene!!

I liked the game ... needs more huge bosses other than the spider thing.

Far Cry 2 announced!

Finally Ubisoft announced Far Cry 2.

This game will be awesome!

I saw parts of it since I worked a couple of months on this game...and it will be great!

Cant say much, I guess, for now ...

Assassin's Creed

I just saw Assassin's Creed gameplay footage at the E3...wow!

I want to play it now :)

I like how you jump from ledges to ledges sooo easily
I like how the animations are so fluid when going up on buildings and how the character goes from one ledge to another so easily while climbing sides of building.
I like how you can see so far from tops of buildings.
I like the different coounters you can perform in combat.

I don't like how the combat rolls out ... enemies waiting...it looks stupid!!!
I don't like the effect on characters (lighting thingy)

anyways...i hope its gonna be fun to play it.

More than meets the eyes!

I was wrong!!! Transformers was a great movie after all.

A lot of explosions, good jokes, a lot of action, cheesy romance, and our favorite Transformers(well some of them anyways)!

Michael Bay actually did a good movie.

I didn't like the whole movie cuz some scenes could have been better.
The story was good except some "why would he do that" scenes.

The transformations were great, well made, almost believable ;)

go see it if you ever liked the transformers
