Are you Brink Smart

Brink, the multi platform game coming in March is what I would say from the video (which is below) a multi interactive game consisting of shooting with a flow of movement. But what makes this game individual to other games coming or are out now is it SMART, Smooth Movement Across Random Terrain (It does what it says).

This SMART to me brings the aerobatic capabilities of free runners and flowing over across, over and under any obstacle in your way with a touch of one button. Watching the video and seeing what seems to be very similar to the game 'Mirrors Edge' but in reserve. Unlike 'Mirrors Edge' more running than shooting, 'Brink' works in the opposite way, more shooting than running with the added bonus of not needing to use half the amount of buttons for run in 'Mirrors Edge' but still has the good use of it.

Personally I think it is a game to get out of the masses coming out this year just to see what the game in a whole is like.

Check out the videos and see what you think.

Glad to See It.

from a previous post 'Is There Some Reason' talking about mostly how Sony doesn't advertise any of there PlayStation consoles, well I am happy to say that they have read my post and took my advice, or I would like to think and they have started making adverts advertising the PS3 and PSP for exclusive games and there console generally in the advert also.

So just for something to watch here is one of the adverts by Sony.This advert is for the new game Uncharted.

Is There Some Reason.

Now on TV the up and coming Call Of Duty Modern War Fare 2 is going on sale on Tuesday (just some information, Game in Queens Street Cardiff is opening at 12.00.01 on Tuesday, so wish I could see the line). Now to be fair to all Consoles, not including Nintendo Consoles (Narrowing it down to 2 Companies Microsoft and Sony), the advert for COD Modern War Fare 2, at the end is advertised for Xbox. Now I know I partly own an Xbox which I love and should be liking the advert, but at the same time I don't own a PS3 but love that as I am a big Sony fan, also I think it is a bit rude that they are not showing that COD Modern War Fare 2 or even another Multi platform console game is on other consoles.

I have a theory why they could be doing this:

Many people know that it is coming to their desired console and therefore the company doesn't need to advertise the game.

The company is really Money safe and can't be bothered to make an advert about the game with their console one it.

The big Company name that doesn't show Multi Platform games on there console are Sony. The only time they show an advert including any of their consoles is when they have a new exclusive game coming out and not all the time they create an advert. I am not trying to slag off Sony but this is more advice which I am not telling Sony. They really could be losing a lot of money from not advertising enough and not selling as many consoles and games as they wish. If they are doing big advertisements in America and making money from games and consoles over there I don't know, but they could be making even more money over in other countries including United Kingdom.

Guitar Hero World Tour. Wait, thats not new.

Me and the blogger Junkie Emerald Coast (Emyr) went into town on the release date of 11th of September for Guitar Hero 5. I was really undecided whether to get it but as he phoned me I thought, why not. So it all went well, I brought the Xbox GH5 and he brought the PS3 GH5 and I went back to his house and we played it there. After about half an hour. I really wanted to look at it. Opening it, I had a huge shock when I see that buying the Guitar Bundle for GH5 that they only sold me the old guitar from Guitar Hero World Tour.

The following day, I had went back into town to get the new one. I will give you one guess to where I brought GH5 and the idiots behind the desk would sell you a old Guitar,

GAME. I know even though I buy a lot of my games from GAME, they can be really Crap sometimes. That's only the start of the whole story.

Returning the game, it didn't go very well. My mum insisted that she came into GAME with me because they wouldn't listen to a kid. Going into GAME I said they that sold me the old Guitarfor Guitar Hero World Tour. They asked for the receipt which I had and they went back to trade it. Coming back with the same Guitar which I took in and they said that they don't have any of the new Guitars for the Xbox. The whole reason I brought the game with the Guitar is because I wanted the new guitar in GH5 which they didn't give me.

Explaining that I went into town the previous day to buy it with Emyr and he brought his on the PS3 , the only excuse they gave was that they haven't sold the new Guitars with the Xbox which I new was a total lie as I seen EXCLUSIVE Xbox videos with people playing the new guitar. After almost shouting to the top of my voice with my mum also the same, another person who works there came up and asked what was the problem I told him and he said that he could give me the game only for GH5 and give me the rest of the money back which would result in me not having the new guitar which I did want so I kept on arguing about it and finally he the guy who came over half way through (the nicer one) said that they would check the other GAME store and check the stock room again if they have any more.

And Surprise, Surprise they came back with the new one which in 2 minutes. What I think is that the first guy didn't even look for it. Anyway, my ranting a raving is over and I can now give my review on the game.

Guitar Hero 5 gives the gamer a whole lot of new choices. To play with any amount of instruments at one time, even for drums if you have them. Also if you have an Xbox like me or a Nintendo Wii, you can use your Mii which isn't the best with GH5 as the Mii's are rubbish qualityanyway, don't work as good as the Xbox Avatars, and really they are amazing. things available to all console users are that all the songs in the game are all ready unlocked and ready and there to play straight away if you are not a real person who likes the Career Which could be better than what it is.

In the Career you have the basic thing, go through it playing all the songs in the Career while unlocking venues. although another addition to the Career they have put in is challenges to complete while playing the songs. Challenges like, get the highest note streak as you can, hit as many chords as you can etc, and and you get Gold, Platinum or Cristal Disc's depending on who well you do. This isn't the best as if you don't have all the band instruments, you feel rubbish that you haven't really ompleted the challenge. The set list isn't totally the best but the same as World Tour, it has to grow on me.

The graphics are pritty cool. Even though from what I have said about it, it seems that I don't really like it, but I think it is really cool.

The Coner rating I think it deserves a:

8/10

Buying to Down grade.

Today was seen as the new PS3 Slim release date and did I see it. Adventuring into town today and popping into Game to pre-order the new Guitar Hero 5 game plus guitar, I was shocked by the queue. I changed my plans and just had a look around and intending to leave I was stopped by rain and Thunder.

To not go out in it I then decided to queue. Well the amount of the feelings which went through my body, amusement, shock as I looked down what now seemed the longest tills ever 3 PS3 slims brought at the same time and another straight after. I couldn't close my mouth from how stunned I was.

Even though all these things came over me there is a lot of things that need to be thought about first. Me personally I like the design of the new PS3 slim although I still really like the original PS3 design also, Score 1-1. Getting serious, the Slim has push buttons to switch it on ((not cool)also doesn't help that the colour doesn't go well with the black of the slim). Then only 2 USB ports when the PS3 has 4 and consumers 34% less power and a lot more things

What I want to get to is that what you are paying for is a PS3 which is Slimmer and lighter in weight which I see no point in as you will hardly pick it up, less power, some of the feature of the PS3 the new has less or even none of (USB Ports, no power switch etc).

And the Most important thing is that the PS3 Slim and PS3 are now the same price, really all you are getting is a worse PS3 and that you have been pulled into buying it for it's new look.

Score: PS3 Slim 1 - Original PS3 - Lost Count, so many.

Totally Wanted.

This is partly going to me another blog post about me talking about how I have no money toget what Iwant to get, for this I am sorry.

Any how, recently for some total reason I got back into gaming back on my PSP which I have no idea who it happened, but as it's the only recent and decent game console I own at the moment I have been looking for games for it. I play on my friend's PS3 (Emerald Coast) and the games on the PS3 are amazing and I get really gellous that I don't have them but now after Sony's gaming conferrence, a few of the games which have and are coming out on the PS3 are now coming out on the PSP.

Some of these games are:
Little Big Planet which I am a big fan of on the PS3 when I play over my friends house
Motor Storm: Arctic Edge which I am really excited about as I really want a better racing game on my PSP. Hopefully they will live up to what they say and show.
Grantrimo 5 after the months and months of think when will it come out on PS3 they also said they were going to release the full game which is on PS3 as wel on PSP, amazing
Assassins Creed 2: Bloodlines even know the first game wasn't really up to scratch on the PS3, hopefully number 2 will be quite good.
And I am praying that they will relise a Guitar Hero for the PSP
AND MORE.

These games I really want but most likey will not get all as soon as I am wishing I want them, I will need to save up a lot to get them. As well as that, it would be my dream come true if I would be able to own the new PSP GO when it comes out, it would be amazing.

P.S. All of these things are a want and not a need as I really hate people who say that they need something which is a want and not a need. E.g. I need a new game, NO YOU DON'T, you want a new game, Stupid people.

Whats Not Gaming.

I have been recently watching trailers of game consoles which have been shown at E3 in America. There are many new things which are coming to game consoles soon like:-

Project Natal on the Xbox 360

The wireless Wand for the PS3

Wii upgrade for the Wii fit

and more.

The one really annoying thing is why are some of the games consoles trying to attract families into playing. These game consoles I am taking about the XBOX 360. When they advertised the Project Natal for Xbox 360 they used families to advertise it. Also with my brother owning an Xbox which I also play on (as I only have a PSP which is good and PS2 which I don't play on), on there Market Place they have done a category named family games. WHY. I know for a fact that not many families at tall play the Xbox 360 together (with the exclusion of the Buzz Quiz games) and not many watch videos together. At this moment in time I am actually respecting the Nintendo Wii.

The Wii's target market are families creating more games for families to play and this is there aim. Although I do disagree with a sentence I read about the new game for the Wii 'Punch Out.' An old arcade game on the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) in a gaming magazine insert which said "Had it been too easy though, the game would have certainly upset the HARDCORE Nintendo gamers;" As it is a family console, there is no Hardcore gamers anywhere. But I still have respect for Nintendo.

Back to the point, the Wii tells the truth other than the Xbox 360 and not leaving out the best games console the PS3. The only thing the PS3 does is advertise it with either only one person or or a group of friends which people do play with the PS3.

The Xbox 360 advertises families playing on the Xbox, also the Xbox being down stairs which I know not many people have, they are mostly in bedrooms and the question is, why not advertise them there. Also the Xbox having a movie store, and this is something which Microsoft always advertise with families watching movies which are brought on the market place. For a couple of more pounds you can own a hard copy of it without loosing it when you get the ring of fire.

In conclusion, what I am trying to get to, if you don't understand it under all my blogging rage is that Microsoft Xbox 360 should advertise what people use the Xbox for and what type of people actually use it.

They Should Conversations THEY HAVE

If you read my previous post 'They Should Conversation' well that they should have become a THEY HAVE. From the master of all knowledge whose name I will no mention (Jongudmund) I have been informed that there is a sort of Guitar hero but not guitar hero Christian Worship game called
Guitar Praise
Guitar Praise is a PC format game which is the first downer and not on any games consoles. So far not what I really wanted as I hoped that it would be on a Games Console and made by Activision or Neversoft. But it's got a Guitar and had good rock Christian music which is good but on screen play doesn't look to good.
This just shows how much I have got into Guitar Hero World Tour.

Guitar Praise is out in the US but news tells me that I will be coming to us in the nearer future. So look out for it in the shops. My They should Dream hasn't fully come true yet but might happen some day.
Cool as it looks on the Coner scale it gets a
7/10

Rocking Around

On Friday night I did an All Nighter with my Church (if you read the previous post then you would know about it) and one thing which they had was a Game console and one of the younger youth brought Guitar hero for the PS2. Fed up of the group of friends I hang round with talking about how amazing it is and never tried it, I thought I would give it a go.

Hopefully as I say this I will be right, comment if you disagree. First time you try something like Guitar hero you ain't the best, sort of like the dance mat. As you play it more, you get the hang of it, just like Guitar Hero. Play on easy mode of a bit and you get it. My advice, if you don't have guitar hero for yourself and you play with your friend on his and you get good at easy, Don't move on to the next difficulty, I repeat DO NOT move on to the next difficulty.

I tell you this because of the shear Embarassment you will experience like meself. So until you get Guitar Hero for yourself then DO NOT move onto a hard difficulty. But also playing for hours on end does start to hurt your fingers but you start to grove to it after a while which is cool.

My Personal Rating is 10/10 on any console

(note that on PS2 the Guitar is smaller but still great)


But as I don't own it, I have to live with this is at the movement

Harmless fun or Shear pain

A note to all of the people with a 'Nintendo Wii', they are so fun and yet so evil after Suffering repetitive Strain injury and almost punching my living room TV in.
Here are some tips to stop you getting into the situation I was in:

1) Don't get so Competitive over a game (but I think I am right
in saying that most people with a Wii get competitive.

2) Try and avoid playing Boxing with a family member
(friends OK as if you hit them, you won't get into half the
trouble than hitting a family member)

3) Think before playing the Wii they are really fun but
are they that fun that you would play on them for 6
hours straight a risk, no defiantly getting an injury .................. um
YEAH
