Sonic Unleashed

Just got this in from PSX blog there is a new Sonic Unleashed game coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360. Judging from the screen shots this looks to be a better game then what Sega has be releasing over the past few years, basically everything has been crap since Sonic and Knuckles on the Genesis roughly 14yrs ago.

It seems that they may have even included Super Sonic judging by this photo.


As well as a fight with Dr. Robotnik


Along with adding Super Sonic into the game as it should have never left, Sega has also giving Sonic some new moves including the "Sonic Boost", "Quick Step" and "Speed Drift".




I was a huge fan of Sonic and this is great news to me I just hope Sega doesn't drop the ball on this as they did with the last few Sonic games.

Marvel vs. DC

LD sent this to me it is extremely funny and sorta true. Check it out

Playstation 3!

I brought the PS3 about 2 weeks ago and it is AWESOME!!! So far this machine is getting better better as the days and weeks go by I am absolutely happy with the purchase, my only complaint about the system is that I wish it had custom play list in the game. Much like what I heard the 360 has, hopefully that features will be in the next system update.

Even on the SD (Standard Definition) TV the graphics are still amazing, so I'm guessing when I get the HD TV my eyes will bleed from the opticular overload.

I also picked up Assassin's Creed and Burnout Paradise. Both games show off the graphics of the PS3 rather well however, I'm looking forward to Metal Gear Solid 4 and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed to hit to really get down and dirty with the system.

I just wanted to mention I'm in no way a fan boy of the PS3 in fact I was very close to purchasing a 360 but that failure rate of 16% had me too spooked and thats why I decide on the less failure prone PS3. Who knows in time I may even buy the 360 espically if "Too Human" is as awesome as I think it'll be.

MGS 4

The first time in my gaming history I've put a reservation on a game for a system I as of yet do not own. I'm actually quite excited about the release of MGS4 for the PS3 and also being a owner of one of the most advanced pieces of technology to date. I can't wait till June 12th.

Futura Universe

I was reading on Marvel's web site something about Iron Man seeing how its coming out next month and something caught my attention. It was the phrase "Marvel Universe" and that got me thinking about my own creations and how sometime in the future I may want to do some cross overs. So I decided to encapsulate all of my characters into worlds and those worlds would combine and form my universe which I think I'll call the "Futura Universe". Here is the break down:

Futura Universe:

Futura Prime
- Speradk
- A.M.I.
- Turbo Man

Advent Robotica
- Mayhem Machine
- The Eniac Progression
- The Univac Succession
- Fusion Matrix
- Apocalpyse
- Legacy

Crimson and the Wolf

Emperor of Oz

Universe Variance
- Alpha
- Beta
- Gamma

Monster Hunters
- Elliot
- August

Each of the listed worlds will have their own storylines and characters as any good writer/ artist could do and at times there will be crossovers as the previous paragraph had mentioned.

I'll go into further description of the worlds as they become more fleshed out.

God of War: Chains of Olympus Review

In March I wrote how I just got God of War: Chains of Olympus. I've since then completed the game and I have a review of the game hoping not to ruin it with spoilers I hope you enjoy it.

Review
God Of War: Chains Of Olympus (psp)


Over all rating:
4.5/5
Graphics: 4/5
Audio: 5/5
Control: 3.5/5
Game play: 4.5/5
Fun Factor: 5/5
Replay ability: 4/5

First off I’m a huge fan of the God Of War series, I must say that Ready At Dawn has done a great job at capturing the feel of the series, first established on the Playstation 2 console perfectly in on the PSP.

The Graphics are excellent they look as if they were pulled directly from the ps2 version, from the way that Kratos moves to the way the light shimmers off of the giant statues in Helios’ temple. I am very impressed at the way Ready at Dawn has gone about doing this title for the psp, makes me glade to have picked up the psp.

The Audio is equally just as good as the graphics and in some respects even better. I feel to get the full sense of the sound the player should really wear earphones as to not be disturbed by their surroundings, its really that good, especially when fighting a boss or enemies after learning a new ability.

The Controls are the only problem (so far) that I have with this title maybe it has to do with the way the psp was designed? But, I find it a bit cumbersome when trying to do multitude of attacks and having to hit the shoulder buttons while at the same time keep my thumbs on the thumb stick. My hands tend to get really sweaty and it becomes hard to keep a grip on the device while trying to beat the crap out of enemies and shadow beast (you’ll see when fighting the minions of Morpheus). I think it would be a lot easier if there were grips on the back of the psp for those instances.

However, with all that said Kratos still handles just as good as he does on the console and pulling off his god-like attacks on the psp against the hordes of enemies seems even more satisfying then they would have on the ps2. At times I find myself missing the combinations because I’m trying to look at the screen.

The Fun Factor is in full effect here especially during the boss battles when landing some pretty vicious attacks, I found myself screaming HOLY CRAP! And other exclamations after ripping off an enemy’s head or driving my blades down a shadow beast chest cavity! I’m still quite amazed at Ready at Dawn’s skills with this game and after hearing Cory Barlog had left Sony I hope Sony decides to give Ready at Dawn first dibs at doing God of War 3 for the PS3.

The Replay ability, I think will be worth the time and effort especially on a harder difficulty setting and with all the weapons the player gathered in their first go through.
