No.1 Gaming Geek

Wednesday, November 19, 2008

Hello. I just realised that I'll be writing my 100th post in a few days time. Nice. Well, today was no different than any other day of the holidays. I was supposed to go to Nicholas house but because my mother went to do her hair, I had to stay at home to babysit my siblings. Sad life.

Since I was stuck at home the entire day, I finally managed to get my brother to complete the final act of Gears of War 2 with me. I feel that Epic saved the best for last. Act 5 is the best level I've played in the entire series. Things get really cool. Spoilers ahead.

Delta escapes the Locust hollow by piloting Reavers; they defeat Skorge's flying beast after a intense aerial battle; they reach Jacinto, where there are many Cogs putting up a last stand; they head back into the hollow; they pilot a Brumak [which is a awesome experience]; the Brumak gets mutated by Imulsion; they Hammer of Dawn it to hell; Jacinto gets destroyed; the Locust hollow gets flooded by seawater, wiping out a whole lotta Locust.

After the credits, there is a little Easter egg. A voice says "This is Adam Fenix...Can anyone hear me...I repeat...This is Adam Fenix...Can anyone hear me...What have you done..." Ok, so Marcus' dad isn't too happy with what has happened. And the Locust Queen is still alive. So I guess it's pretty save to say that there'll be a Gears of War 3. Cool.

After completing Gears 2, I was rewarded with a plethora of Achievement points, boosting my Gamerscore to 9265. Nearer and nearer to 10k. I think I'm going to try to get at least 500 Achievement points from each game. That way I'll have a minimum Gamerscore of 18000.

I started reading One Piece manga. I'm currently on chapter 15, so I've got a lot of catching up to do. I remember watching the anime on Kids Central when I was a kid, but because I was younger back then, I didn't really understand what was happening, but now that I do understand, One Piece is pretty nice.

I stumbled upon yet another website that auto plays music when you load the page. Damn it, I'm getting sick of this. When will these people actually realise that we might actually be listening to our own music while surfing the net, and also, we probably don't care about the song that's being played. Oh well.

Some news:
-New Xbox Experience update is now available on Xbox Live. I already updated it, and I also created my avatar. It takes about 4 minutes for the initial setup.
-Sony, being the bitches they are, banned all Sony licensed movie from Xbox 360's movie streaming service.
-Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe surprises everyone by getting an average review score of 8.0/10.
-Call of Duty: World at War launch week sales outsell Call of Duty 4 launch week sales 2:1 in the UK.
-Left 4 Dead delivers on the hype, scoring an average review score of 9.2/10.
-Champions online may be available on the PS3 as well. Previously, it was only for the PC and Xbox 360.
-80% of PS3 owners are active online, while less than 50% of Xbox 360 owners use Xbox Live.
-Dragonball Z movie is going to suck.
-Street Fighter IV has been confirmed for a February 19 2009 release.
-Gears of War 2 limited edition red Xbox 360 controller is now on sale.
-Naruto: Broken Bond gets 8.3/10 from ign.com, 0.1 less than Ultimate Ninja Storm. Broken Bond is twice as long as Rise of a Ninja, with its main storyline alone taking about 10 hours to complete. If you want to do all the optional activities, it can take 20 hours or more. It has 30 playable characters, almost 3 times the amount in the original game.

Ok, I want to go play about with the New Xbox Experience features now. Ending off, see you tomorrow.
