Right now I'm watching some season finales of different shows I watch.
I've watched Smallville since the beginning. I missed a couple of seasons because I wasn't able to keep up. I'm not going to lie. He's one of the reasons that I started watching the show in the first place.
This is one creative game. After you play the single player mode you can create your own levels and have you friend play them. It's brilliant. Daft Punk offers the music. Enjoy
I tore myself away from my PS3 Saturday and went down to the Sony Store. It's divided up into two sections: TV's and PS3, headphones, Mp3 players, etc. There's even a Starbucks inside.
Again I thought the store was poorly merchandised. It was difficult finding the PS3 area. I should see it big as day. Oh well, I just hope Sony gets it together for the E3 conference in June.
I thought I had gotten over my squemishness with video game violence, but the following trailer for Prototype looks intense. All I think about is, "kids play this"?
I heard this great quote about the 3 big players in the gaming world.
Microsoft owns the office
Sony owns the living room
Nintendo owns the closet
Yep and it's so true. People who bought into the hype of the Wii think it's great, but if you ask them when they play it they normally say, "when people are over". Eventually it gets shelved into the closet until company comes over to play.
My favorite game is still Killzone 2. This is an extra special week because new downloadable content is coming to the Playstation Network this Thursday for $5.99.
After two months I still love this game. The multiplayer is such an exciting and immersive experience that I forget that I've been playing for two hours straight. You should see me, I have mic and I'm working with other team members (when they have mics) to achieve our objectives.
The Multiplayer experience is based on a point scale. The higher the points the higher your rank. Certain ranks unlock certain abilities (badges).
Master Sergeant /Medic Badge - 350 pts.
Lieutenant /Engineer Badge - 800 pts.
Major /Tactician Badge - 1450 pts.
Lieutenant Colonel /Assault Badge - 1850 pts.
Colonel /Saboteur Badge - 2300 pts.
General /Scout Badge - 2800 pts.(I need 232 pts.)
The game isn't over once you get to General. There are lots of secondary abilities that add soooo much more to the game. For example, the Engineer can set up turrents throughout the maps and when you get a certain amount of kills per set you can unlock the ability to repair ammo boxes and other turrents throught the game.
Teamwork is the exciting part for me. Communicating with your teammates that there's a sniper nearby or that the enemies are coming for the Assassination target and to find cover is just brilliant. It's the kind of gameplay that blows my mind. I would never have thought of that when I was 9 and playing my Atari 2600. I was recruited to be a member of The Outkast Clan. I haven't played yet, but looking forward to some team matches.
So Thursday is like Christmas for me and only for $5.99. When you factor in how much I've enjoyed this game and the time I've spent and saved on restaurants, I've actually saved money in the long run. Below is a video of the two maps that are coming to Killzone 2.
