Yea, it was my blog's 2nd birthday seven days ago, and just like last year, I was a over a week late! I'm sorry I never get time to post anymore. I have so many things I could write about, like my newfound love of South Park, and my experiences with Xbox Live, DJ Hero, The Beatles: Rock Band, and being pissed about the only person out of most of my friends to not own Modern Warfare 2. But my mom just doesn't let me on the computer as much...

So Assassin’s Creed II has finally hit YouMedia, and here is my first hour-and-a-half so impression of the game… The game starts out very slow, giving a short flashback explanation of what had occured in the first game. It was a nice way of bringing back important story details, but according to my friends who had not played the first game were not really sure as to what was happening. The game seems to expect that you already know what you should do, but even I, who had played the first game, was still very unsure as to what...

Yes, that's right! My friends have I have collaborated and have started playing Assassin's Creed II and plan to write an awesome collaborative review! You'll be able to see my personal impressions on the blog soon (I DEFINITELY NEED SOMETHING TO BRING THIS WEBSITE TO USEFULNESS AGAIN...)...It'll also be nice to finally get a new review to post on the site...hope this project is a succe...

During Recover Club (a class you have to attend when you are failing a class), I found my face on the official Jones College website and decided to take a screenshot....

I had been thinking about posting on the blog for a couple of days now, but I couldn't pull myself to do it. I did have some nice opinions to say, but I just couldn't bother. High school has been killing me, and other things happen to. If I ever get free time, I just use it playing video games, sadly, not blogging. If you do need your dose of me, though (I bet you do, don't you?), just check out my Twitter feed at the top....

As I was looking for the lyrics to Nine Inch Nails "Hurt" (going on a "Downward Spiral" run), I noticed that Google had also shown results for Johnny Cash who also had the same titled song and the same lyrics! I did a bit of research and it ends up that Johnny Cash covered the song shortly before his death! Such an amazing video to the song as well, watch it now! So epic...both versions of the song are amazi...

Well, after 136 amazing episodes, Dustin Berg has recorded his last Xbox 360 Fancast.  If you have read anything on my website, you might know that I am a huge fan of the Fancast, and Dustin was my favorite part of the crew. Now, he finally left the 'cast and Joystiq as well last week. Good luck to him and his future endeavors as I am totally going to miss him. I will still be following him, it just won't be the same on the 'cast...

Although I was not able to get his name, I do know this. This guy is freakin' cool. Some AT&T customer support dude came to my house to fix the cable, and I thought he was going to be either an asshole with a goatee, or some boring dude with a goatee. Well, I was pleasantly surprised (not about the goatee) when he walked into my game room. He asked me if my ION Drum Set was an electric drum set, and I told him that they work for Rock Band 2. He said that he also had Rock Band 2, but had a drum set that was nothing like the...

And inside came a small little message: JOIN US. STOP THE...

It's true, it has been a while since I have actually purchased a new game. Watching this video has made me pretty jealous. I miss the 'going to the store to purchase the game', the 'asking my mom to use her nails to cut the shrink wrap open in the car', and the 'opening the box and pulling out the instruction manual and reading it during the car ride back home and super-hyping myself'...God, school suc...

I remember the first time I heard about Rock Band: The Beatles, and I thought, "Wait, are they taking the Guitar Hero route? They're just gonna make a bunch of games featuring a specific band with a bunch of songs by that band and sell it? Damn, Harmonix must need money bad!" Nop...

When I read Patunga13's newest post, I thought he was talking about the new iPod nano. That would have been WAYYYYY too coincidental...Anyway, the blog actually seems to be taking life again! Maybe school has a slight good affect on my work ethic...

Although I still won't bother with the new map packs (even with the $15 value of the All Fronts map pack), I still kind of enjoy Gears of War 2. Either that, or leveling up and seeing all those EXP points rack up makes me feel good about myself. Either way, this game knows that I'm leet!Ok, so what if I'm still a scrub?[UPDATE] Coming to the website on my iPod, I come to the sad realization that the sidebar pics are very oversized. So you...

To alert the people that read this, I am a freshman in high school now. That's huge news for my mother. So huge, that my mom doesn't want me to think about video games at all until school times end. Which means that I won't be able to play video games until the weekends of every week. For now, I'll have to watch TV and learn...That's my sad 360 staring at me in the face. I'm so sor...

To bring breath back to this lifeless blog, I've decided to bring back my old reviews back from Gamespot that I posted about 2-3 years ago. They were slightly amateurish, but hey, they are good filler as I decide what I could do to make this blog worth it again. UNLIKE MY OTHER REVIEWS, this one was never posted on Gamespot. Instead, this was posted a couple of months after this blog was made on a separate website. This was my final official...

As most of you are well aware, Gears of War 2 has a pretty crappy ranking system: Impossible to explain, impossible to progress.Epic Games' answer? A title update! Hitting XBL on March 24th, this update will give players a more Call of Duty-esque system for leveling up; the more points you gain, the more experience points you get, the more you progress through your level(as seen at the top screenshot). Even better? You automatically gain...

I saw, many moons ago, this video on some other site. A hilarious prank on a live talk radio show, a man impersonates Gordon Freeman (from Half Life) and talks about a man apparently stalking him(as he calls, the G-Man). He also mentions a friend from security (Barney) and his administrator (Breen). He also talks about "portal technology". Only people that have played Half Life (or maybe possibly even Portal) will get this. A revisit to my Favorites list again! Listen to it, raise your spirits for an ho...

MyHawk, Warhawk fansite, has underwent a major update and now hosts players official game stats online, featuring: "clan matches & tournaments, daily leaderboards, new graphs, per-weapon stats, stats on individual games, [and] game calendar."Although it would seem that Incognito themselves allowed MyHawk alone to receive such information, it is not true. Dylan Jobe, the game's director, has revealed that the information comes through...

Presented on the video above is the process of recording and uploading a clip from H.A.W.X. onto YouTube! The process looks super-simple; record, log-in to YouTube through H.A.W.X., then upload! although the uploading looks like it was sped-up(I'm just suspecting. Ever since using the video uploading feature on Spore, I was kind of iffy). Good news for the PS3, bad news for the 360, as this feature is only on the PS3.H.A.W.X. is already available on the 360 and PS3, and will be available on the PC March 10...

The BBPS has recently reported on a story Kotaku recently reported about Assassin's Creed 2 rumors. These rumors suggest that the game may be taking place in Venice in the time period of around 15th to 16th century, and as the post suggests, it could be taking place in the time when the Black Plague was occurring. I just don't understand how they are going to get there with the way the first Assassin's Creed end...

I helped my friend connect his Wii to the internet at a party and decided to take turns playing SSBB online. We knew right from the start we were screwed.i decided to take the first battle with Ike. And only a few seconds later did we realize what type of skill we were up against. You know how some people who call people that are ownage "asian"? Yeah, we just kept screaming that at the TV. We strive to get a place higher than 4th place, but it never happened.Until, one lucky game, where one of my cousins face two other people...

No, instead, that was an update that was released a few weeks ago to a very few number of Xbox Live users that is NOW released to the public. Update 2.07363.0 was apparently a fix to a problem with audio problems with HDMI audio cords. Hey! Be happy! You still have your golden lancer, and now for those who have been waiting for this update has finally come! Yay!Thanks, Joyst...

Listening to the Xbox 360 Fancast, I just confirmed that the Golden Lancer you might've downloaded a few days ago is going to be taken away. Xav de Matos, writer for Joystiq [Xbox], was talking about it on the show and has said that he recieved an email from a Microsoft PR team that has said that it was a mistake and they are planning to take it away from people that have downloaded it someway. They were supposedly only supposed to give...

The Epic Games official forums have been attacked recently with disturbing, sad, and true news that the game cannot run, with a message prompting the player to reinstall the game.As of January 28th, the game's digital certificate has expired, so anyone playing close to the midnight of the 27th then your computer's internal clock clicking over to the 28th immediately exited out.

A game where you bounce on all the platforms and reach the finish with the most points possible. Sound like something that came out 27 years ago? Well, it's very damn similar. Artoon is like a revised version of Q*Bert, with slight twists. You are small bouncing ball and you must change the color of most of the platforms to finish.Let's start out with the features that make this game different. There are a multitude of different levels...

Bungie.net has released a(read: ONE) hi-res screenshot of the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack map of Sandbox. From what sources our leading us to believe is that it seems that, if you look closely, every single object in the map is movable. Information leaked from that official Australian Xbox blog would also lead us to believe that the map pack will cost 800 Microsoft points and will be released on March 3rd. The blog also has leaked information...

The two met each other while playing Halo 2. They are both gamers. They want to marry each other. The bride-yes, that's right.

The long awaited Resident Evil 5 demo has finally come out on Xbox Live Marketplace! Sadly, the PS3 will not be getting this demo for a while. The demo features 3 levels on two stages(if they are as long as RE4's chapters, that should equal to about 2 hours of gameplay, but it doesn't.); Assembly Place and Shanty Town(which was featured in E3 08', as shown in the video below), and allows for 2 PLAYER CO-OP with AI, local, or OVER XBOX LIVE. You can tell by the caps lock that it is very exciting news(although I already played...

The F.E.A.R. 2 Demo is available on both the PS3 and Xbox 360. No noticeable differences, really. Here are the impressions.The demo opens up what seems to be the opening cut-scene for the game which pretty much gives you a small hint as to the back-story of the original F.E.A.R.. The demo then puts you into the perspective of Michael Becket who is supposed to arrest president of Armacham Genevieve Aristide. The start of the demo takes place...

In a 4-freakin'-page interview with Gamasutra, Braid developer Jonathan Blow has awnsered questions about his feelings for the future.

I don't really want to give much detail about it, though. And the reason is that I've had three or...

NOTE: This catch-up is full of SPOILER!s. and takes into account that you already know everybody and everything's names.The game starts out with a cutscene that shows Alma presumably taking control of Paxton Fettel and a group of telepathically controlled cloned supersoldiers. He then procedes to kill every single person in Armacham Technology Corp. (ATC) Headquarters. You then proceed to hear a phone call between ATC president Aristide...
