It's the music that gets me.

If this game were to come out in 2009 (it wont), it would easily be my number 1 most anticipated game of the year. I LOVED the first game. Sure it had its flaws, most notably technical, but there is something to be said about the world Bioware has created.

Maybe it's the recent sci-fi high I've been on? Either way...

I'm ready to go back.

Blizzard, Very Cold?

While going over the exhibitor list for E3 this year, I noticed that Blizzard wasn't on the list of attendees. I'm not sure if this is because they will be with Activision or if it is because they do Blizzcon every year but it got me into doing some research.

Blizzcon this year is August 21-22. Ironically, tickets go on sale today @ 9 AM Pacific for $125!!! 

I was surprised that ticket prices were so expensive. That and also there is Direct TV pay-per-view coverage.

Maybe I am just underestimating Blizzards' drawing power. Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo. It's amazing that those three franchises can warrant such an event. I almost see it as stuck up. Why do I feel this way? 

I realize and understand everything that Blizzard has done for the video game genre, but is this a case of PC love while I mostly play consoles?

Brad and community, please chime in...

Has anyone been before?

Brad is in OPM?

So last month we decided to enter into the Fat Princess Beta. We got in and through facebook I was asked if it was alright to use the picture for Official Playstation Magazine.

They actually did use the picture so thanks for Rabbesking for bringing it to my attention and Sl4y4 for sending in the picture.

Which Month's magazine is it? I'm planning on buying an issue for collector's value.

Thanks,

David

AMAZING NEW TRAILER

Brad told me that there was some new amazing Mario & Luigi 3 so I headed over to game trailers to watch it.....It's good.


No seriously, Here is it. 

Wait, here it is.

Ok, fine. Here it is...

Next Week: Tough Decision

So next week comes a game I've been waiting on for a while now. Bionic Commando will be making a return on the official consoles. I'm sure to be picking up that on up, but the real question is whether or not I'll be trying Punch-Out!.

It was kind of a surprise that they announced the series for the Wii. Seeing as how the original was so fast paced and reaction based, it seems impossible to make a game like that using Wii Controls.

But then, everything becomes clear. This isn't THAT Punch-Out!. It's a game that has been created for the new generation. It will have familiar characters, familiar moves, familiar music. But it won't be what I'm hoping for.

So why am I still considering this game? Hope that it will suprise me. That there is something in these made for new gamer's games that will appeal to a long time "veteran." Maybe there's something new that will be discovered by this going back to basics.

What it might be?

We're all still waiting for that answer.

Should I care about Sacred 2?

Should I care about this Sacred 2 thing? We all know Diablo 2 is in my Top 5 games of all time -- and that my recent discovery of Soma Bringer has certainly been scratching that itch, but what about a good console loot game I could play on the feed?

The game has to have great loot though. I don't just mean "many different items" either. The loot has to have cool modifiers that really affect the player outside of simple damage and defense, and the system needs to have a rarity spectrum, as well as random modifiers.

The skills/class system also needs to be deep enough so that I can encounter the same class as myself and still see a difference in character setup.

Also, which console should I get it on if I did get it? I think I heard that the PS3 version is the lead console platform. Is this true?

Should I just get Demon Souls instead?

Is anyone getting this?

Tough questions.

Let's see Cho do these roles.

Sorry, don't appreciate the Bana hate. I also think he had a lot of fun with his role in Star Trek. Bana is at the very least, a solid actor who takes some questionable roles. Check out his performances in these movies.

Chopper (2000)


Munich (2005)
