Oh and I played gears of war 2 today. Finally, its been in my closet for weeks. And it er..... uh.

So basically the same as the first game. It was okay the first time but I dont need more. Sorry guys!

Graphics are slightly better though, nice that the grey has been turned down a (slight) notch and the lighting is more golden. Just not my thing anymore.

I doubt it could ever be your thing, really. The game has "anti-GG" wrtitten all over it, and there's nothing wrong about that. I always thought you would find it too conservative, slow, and full of cringe-inducing cliches. Good to know you tried it at least.

I am renting it today again so I can finish it this week. Oh, and I haz Wii again! Have second floor! My grass is getting better!

Yeah I played through the first game and didn't like it then, but now I'm really feeling it. It's like my kryptonite.  I would rather play Mass Effect which is like Gears like shooting but with so much gravy on top, story, rpg elements, some vehicles, a compelling world. At least its energised me to push through Mass Effect.

To me, a game like Gears is like everything that is wrong with next gen gaming, kind of like a been here, seen that, push the graphics etc. My brother loves it to death but even he said that it was exactly the same as the first. He has the steel tin box.

You can see the kind of games I like, threads on Soul Bubbles and Rhythm Heaven/ Paradise. Just something different.

SEGA:

PS3 game Ryu ga Gotoku 3 (Yakuza 3) has managed to break even and the recently released DS RPG 7th Dragon has sold well, said Kawagoe. However, fellow DS RPGs Shining Force Feather and World Destruction have not met company expectations.

Kawagoe also said that Sega's titles were receiving a better reception from European critics than those in the States, although he acknowledged that MadWorld's generally positive reviews hadn't translated into high sales. NPD reports [via Gamasutra] that March sales in the US were just 66,000.

He also said that the company's licensing department is hoping to extend Sega's IP into broader media platforms, noting the television anime adaptation of Valkyria Chronicles.

Sega's big title of the event was Puyo Puyo 7, the latest entry in the falling object puzzle series. Bayonetta also received one of its first live play demonstrations and End of Eternity, a futuristic RPG collaboration between tri-Ace and Sega, due for release on PS3 and Xbox 360 this winter, was unveiled.

The rest of the line-up, shown in a video compilation, featured a number of handheld titles, mainly for DS, including Sonic Chronicles, which was released in Europe and the States late last year.

How saturated is the DS market with damn JRPGs???? It's so stupid at this point, there is one every damn minute.

So how do you play the game in the first person then? I haven't played many boxing games in my time so I only know of the Punch out style or the side camera rocky style.

Left thumbstick for moving your boxer, right thumbstick for throwing punches (unless you want to cope with shitty face-button control scheme). Slight taps for japs, quarter circles for hooks, half circles for uppercuts and almost 360 motions for haymakers. It can be a bit imposing at first, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be flooring people in no time. There is no life bar, nor any other visual aid besides the face of your opponent. You pay attention to visual clues as to when the other guy is tired, and ready for a potent haymaker and some sleep.

Well, I played the training, I got into the hospital, I shot the exploding canisters, they started swarming. And I turned it off. I just find it so boring. The movement is so slow, you either trudge about like you're walking through mud, or you run really fast with no control. Otherwise you sit around awkwardly moving a cursor around with dual analogue and crying that you can't light gun style some ass. All the while surounded by macho posturing. So basically the same as the first game. It was okay the first time but I dont need more. Sorry guys!

How come? Is it cute?

Updates done

This one is for Vader

Hmmm...my niece would love this. Her B-day is coming up so this looks good. And she loves horses!

And no, I'm not buying it for myself, LOL! But it'll be embarrassing buying this at Gamestop or Best Buy, especially since there's a cute girl working at BB! Actually, maybe she'll think I'm sensitive because I'm a man for buying gifts like this for my niece?

Ah whatever, she's way to good for me anyway. Seriously, she's pretty cute!

And what in the hey is God of Trendy?

And Lego Rock Band? As if they didn't make money enough! What kind of songs are they going to have, kid songs like "Itsy Bitsy Spider," or "Ol' McDonald had a farm?"

The Dementium developer talking about the "lack" of sales for GTA Chinatown is pretty entertaining. I was waiting for him to snap at any time and start smaching shit up.

I think he's coming at it from the perspective of a very small developer with very small sales.

I think Gears could be more fun if you play online, GG.

I don't like shooting people online. Offline in single player or among friends, sure. I usually test out the online modes in some shooters just out of curiosity. Plus there is the problem of having no hard drive and no wireless and the console being miles away from the router. So basically I can't get my 360 online. Shame as I would run their demo service into the ground.

Seriously I need some help with this. There is this girl that works at a local business and I have seen her about 4 times. And she's like.... she just.... I think I'm lovesick. I've been wanting to ask her out but firstly she is so gorgeous I keep thinking that she must already have a boyfriend anyway. But the problem is more the front office. It's like the size of a closet and when I talk to her there are like people sitting 3 feet behind me, another staff member on her immediate left and people trapsing about the place. She keeps me up at night, not in a dirty way you pervs. But just thinking about her. I feel like I know her, bizaarely like someone you grew up living next door to and went to school with. It's tearing me up!
