E3: 2012!

A gamers very own holiday has arrived!

E3 this year has arrived and there is just way too much to put down in one single blog, but here’s an overlook of what has happened the last three days.

Microsoft – Microsoft announced it’s new XBOX Smart Glass for tablets, cell phones, and many more devices, which turns your television into a smart television! This item will be released later this year in time for the holidays. Also watch for Internet Explorer coming to the XBOX 360 this November!
There was no announcement from Microsoft about a new console, specifically the XBOX 720. I guess we’ll have to wait for next year!

“Gears of War: Judgement” coming to XBOX 360, due out in 2013!

“Halo 4” releasing for XBOX 360 in November 6th of this year looked very good with improvements to multiplayer with co-op add-ons and a new point system for upgrades. A new engine is making this game look very good, and from what I have seen it will not be a let down!

Nintendo – Nintendo this year showed off its guns with the new Wii-U, showcasing it’s very interesting new controller featuring a touchscreen embedded into the center.
This touchscreen allows you to take control of certain menu’s within the game being played, which allows for more information without taking up a whole screen on your television set, it also does much more.  A very nice presentation of the Wii-U this year.
Nintendo has 23 launch titles for planned to be launched during the first 6 months for the Wii-U. The gameplay graphics look very good and the system itself looks very interesting!

Sony –  Sony did not release any information for its upcoming Playstation 4 as many had wished for, but it did release some exciting news for some upcoming games and PSN updates.
Playstation Plus members will be getting more free games with the first 12 featuring titles like “Saints Row 2”, “Infamous 2” and “LittleBigPlanet2”. Newer games will be added in through time.

“Beyond: Two Souls” This new title from Heavy Rain game maker Quantic Dream has yet to have an arrival date but it is expected to be in the fourth quarter of this year.

“God of War: Ascension”  Judging by the trailer this is sure to be another blockbuster, this title will launch March 12, 2013! 

Thank you for reading!

Ghost Recon Future Soldier

A crashful disaster.

Like most gamer’s I waited many years for this game to hit the shelves, only to be dissapointed with the number of flaws within this unfinished piece of work.

One thing I must say is campaign is the only thing that got me through this game, while multiplayer is nothing but server crashes filled with heavy lag. Although I must say there are times where everything runs smoothly. But for me, I had problems from the get-go, having a misprinted Uplay online code for multiplayer to having my multiplayer classes completely reset and whiped out completely losing all unlocked weapons and gear, causing me to completely start all over.

If you are a fan of only campaign then go ahead with this game as campaign is indeed fun and completely different from anything else on the market. Multiplayer however does have it’s perks as it is fun aslong as it’s up and running, and just like campaign it is completely different from your typical military shooter. All online game modes are team based with no option of Team Deathmatch or in Ghost Recon terms “Sharpshooter”.

Im sure sooner or later they will have the server issue’s worked out and everything will be fine and dandy but until then, lay off this title and go with Max Payne if you’re looking for a new game to get your hands on!
