Didi has (unofficially) beat my Gamerscore!!!! W00terz!!!! Letz now all wait for teh official beat soon! All you need is a little less than a thousand more!

I've just been playing video games for too long. So I decided to use the money I get to go into this ju-jitsu class and try not to play video games that much. Doesn't mean I'm stopping just means don't expect to see me on Xbox Live as much as you used to.

Now FINALLY I will go into news of the week. Mario Kart Wii get's an 8.5 from IGN and it actually has awsome online, Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway actually get's some attenion yay, UT3 360 multiplayer footage was released this week, and yes there is an Iron Man demo on Marketplace. Live Fire Weekend for Call of Duty 4 so make you download that gamerpicture and next weekend legendary weekend (25-27) for Halo 3 so download the new maps and gamerpicture.

Ok. So, I went to my friend's house for some party, and I had quite an experience.

First, I tried playing the drums fo realz, and I have to say it actually kind of works! Maps works the best, of course, but Reptilia and Wave of Mutilation work too! I tried Dani California, the cymbals just didn't sound right though. 3's and 7's worked fine too!

Next, I played some Guitar Hero III(not going to talk about it) and Halo 3(I have officially lost all skill).

Finally, we went inside his uncle's room to play some PS3. I played two games.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma

Assassin's Creed

Now, I don't know if this is for all games, but why is there always this warning about something relating to the disk? I also noticed that there actually was a loading screen at the beggining of Assassin's Creed. Does it seriously take that long? I also noticed that the PS3 version usually gets a better frame rate, but quickly switches back to a slow frame rate(like the Xbox 360, except without the better frame rate bursts), which makes the game seem unstable.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma(the original Ninja Gaiden ported to the PS3) is also a fun game, but the level of difficulty is freaking deadly. I mean, I only died 3 times, but it is very easy to get yourself killed if you don't know what your doing(the three times I died, I did not know how to use the Flying Swallow). The only boss battle I had was a very, VERY hard battle. So if this is the first battle, I can't even believe what Alma is like. It is a fun game, but getting killed is tiring, as soon after the three times I died, by the time I got to the horsemen in the second level, all i did was die.

So, that's my party. I swear I'll be updating VGNO soon!

Ok, so here's the laydown.

Mongoose Riding

Sharpshooting

Avalanche

Ok. So there are the basics. Some more specific rules.

Oh, by the way, did I mention the prize was RECON ARMOR!!!!!!

Yes I actually got HONOR ROLL! So I told my mom if I got honor roll she would have to let me get GTAIV, so I might get that. But I do want atleast $20 worth of microsoft pionts(to buy COD4 maps and Rock Band DLC).

By the way, the map will be available tomorrow.

Awesome right? I found this on WiiFanboy.com and it's an awesome story. This guy works on a custom stage as a proposal for his fiancee. He starts a game with the time limit on infinity with Mario, Peach, and Kirby(the fiancee's favorite). He turns off the TV and leaves the game running. He then leaves the room. His fiancee then comes and turns the TV on, and asks if he's in a middle of a game. He comes back in with a small box in his hand and insists in looking at the TV again. She takes a look, and then says,"Oh. Yes!"

Well if you haven't figured out already, Gloqwi has left this blog and went on to VGNO(whatever that stands for). I'm not sure if he left or if he just isn't going to write on this blog anymore. I was thinking he could just write the anime stuff there and stuff we(writers on THIS blog) would find interesting like video games news and so forth here. Hopefully he will take my suggestion. He mentioned on his other blog how you get a 4 month Bungie Pro subscription for free with the New Halo 3 maps. To bad HE WON'T GET THEM AND I WILL! I don't even plan on using the slots so whatever.
Now let me dedicate this video to my son who I hope is watching this right now. :(

Well I've been playing on LEGENDARY in Halo 3 with some guys I met in Team Slayer, but I found out the host didn't turn the meta-game thing on so I didn't get any achievements :( . I've been watching video previews for the Legendary Map-Pack and all I have to say is WOW! I mean it looks pretty cool with all the new forge objects and how each map looks. Well done EA I mean Bungie. I get paid ateast $25 today or tomorrow so I'll buy some microsoft pionts. Probably going to buy Halo 3 maps Tuesday and Call of Duty 4 map-packs, and MAYBE Rock Band DLC! :)
And to finish my post I will end it with this video.

Just watch it.

Check out the VGNO Feed for updated news on games.

Let's not go into the Savage vs. Amir fight soooo Ikaruga(one of the best Gamecube games EVER) was released on Xbox Live Marketplace yesterday. I played the trail and that game is crazy hard, well atleast for me. Fans boycott the Battlefield:Bad Company DLC because it's expensive, Variety Map Pack looks amazing, Legendary Map Pack in 5 days, and GTA IV is going to be amazing I HOPE!

THIS IS GLOQWI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah. I'm back.

Well my birthday is today, still waiting for Halo 3. >:D

By a very close call, the Xbox 360 one by a very small margin. Here are all the reasons.

The PS3.

Dualshock 3. (2/5)
Metal Gear Solid 4 Beta. (4/5)
Warhawk's 2nd Expansion pack. (3/5)
No DLC on the Store this week. (-1)
Home planned to come out this April. (3/5)

Now, Microsoft's side: The Xbox 360.

Halo 3 Heroic DLC turns free. (3/5)
CoD4 Map pack released. (5/5)
Forge filters. (1/5)
Lag issues for Xbox Live. (-1)
Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack announcement release date revealed. (4/5)

PS3:11
X360:12

Very very close call. Well, that's it for Console War Fridays this week.

Hehehe. I was trying to take a peek at the blog and while I looked at the post, I noticed it would let the picture of the Xbox 360 and PS3 picture be shown. There are many sites blocked on this server I suppose, as it also blocks the images of me and Didi's gamertags. Or maybe they don't want any mention of the Xbox 360 anywhere in this store.

A few seconds ago, I found this game previewed in the store, called Ridge Racer 7. Sometimes I do great, as more than half of the races I played were ranked 1st place, and sometimes I do terrible, landing myself a rank lower than 10th. It has some of the coolest drift engines EVAR!

Currently, the Xbox 360 is still leading by one point. Cmon. COMMENT!!!!!!!!

This will seem worse than you think.

First off, Sony's side: The PS3.

--Dualshock 3. Contains long awaited rumble but keeps the (sometimes terrible) motion functionality of the Six-Axis controller. Since this feature should have been here LONG ago, this only scores the PS3 a 3/5(minus one for coming soon). (2/5)
--Metal Gear Solid 4 Beta. Something that I'm dying to need but only lasting for o so long. Available to download on April 17, this Beta will feature the multi player aspects of the game and will last from April 21 to May 5. 5/5(minus one for coming soon). (4/5)
--Warhawk's 2nd Expansion pack. 4/5(minus one for coming soon) (3/5)
--No DLC on the Store this week. Minus one.
--Home planned to come out this April. 4/5(minus one for coming soon) (3/5)(Just to add a note that this is something I am personally excited for.)

Now, Microsoft's side: The Xbox 360.

--Halo 3 Heroic DLC turns free. 3/5.
--CoD4 Map pack released. Contains Chinatown, Killhouse, Broadcast, and Creek. 5/5.
--Forge filters. Seem to be awesomes, but since this doesn't seem as big the PS3 news, this only gets a 2/5(minus one for coming soon). 1/5
--Lag issues for Xbox Live(Didi knows about this for RSV2). Sadly a minus one.

For now, there is only a war between X360 and PS3, no Wii. As I think I have to be responsible for this(since it's kinda obvious of who's defending who(Didi X360, Savage PS3)), I will be focusing on the Wii for just a little bit. If nothing happens next week, I switch back to these two.


Current Scores:

PS3: 11.
X360: 8.


I am also surprised. I am also surprised.

The wars end tomorrow night at 8:30/C. So please comment and tell me something of importance I have missed and I will rate it's importance. I will also accept any reasons to boost any of these reason's scores. So comment NOW!

Yes. It is true. The map pack was delayed until April 10th, BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT, Infinity Ward and Microsoft managed to find some to get the certification done early and, well, here they are! That is my understanding of what happened, not sure if that is what happened, but that is what I understand.

I did though, hear about it releasing early this morning last night on X-Play! I was just to lazy to make a post about it. GJ Didi. I'm going to go weep in the corner of my bathroom now.
