Star Wars – Kinect
September 9, 2011 – 10:04 pm
I have been hanging for a game that would get me off my butt and using he Kinect a little more often.
Star Wars looks good, for the kids of course.
I think the due date has been a little delayed – till 2012, so not going to worry for awhile. Might try the nightmare game and the odd attack at fruit in the mean time.

EB Games Game Bins
April 5, 2011 – 11:36 am
They have the Bargain bins out again, lots of older cheaper games. I picked up 4 for under $100 last week.
I should play them one day…
Wet
April 5, 2011 – 11:18 am
By now, Wet is in the bargain Bin at the game store. It came out way back in 2009. I picked up a copy up for about $20.
It has some good action scenes that are worth the price of admission, even if that is all you get to do. It is an action slice em up game with a basic plot line that I already forgot. It is pretty easy to pick up and play, but there is a small amount of technical ability required to master the moves. The new kill moves get added as you progress through the game.
You literally run through hoops to get new weapons. That did put me off as I was running around my ‘hideout’ looking for something really obvious just so I could get through to the next chapter.but it gets easier once you get hold of the basics. Took me ages to work out who I was shooting in the slow mo scenes.

Battlefield 3 – Fault Line Episode 1 Gameplay Trailer
March 15, 2011 – 4:34 pm
I thought I was watching Ghost recon for a moment. But I guess they want to make it look like it is, so it means the games that want realism ed up looking the same, hopefully offering something different inside.
Tan and beige and khaki get a little boring, so there better be something that pulls me through it.
I enjoyed the battlefield series on the pc. Large maps, lots of players, planes, troops, vehicles and all that. The console versions have changed the game from the big server based experience . Anyway, here is a glimpse of the Battlefield 3 !
The clip is from ebgames au on youtube, I added it my playlist!

R.O.B. the Robot

Angry Video Game Nerd: R.O.B. the Robot
Watched this clip late when nothing else was on.
It is a good clip to just sit back and watch him get frustrated.
The show is quite well done and interesting, I had no idea about the games mentioned (thankfully). Lots of little funny bits. I like the opening of the game stuck behind the door and frustration is gold.
The “F” bomb is dropped quite a bit in parts so you might want to put the headphones on if you have any kids around.
Screw Attack
Crysis 2 Multiplayer

Crysis 2
Nice clip from joystiq, shows some of the weapons and upgrade abilities in multi player mode and gives a good idea what the game play may be like.
I’m still undecided.
Too many chords
March 4, 2011 – 10:49 pm
Most people don’t know it, but there is often left over energy in unused chords that makes them seem alive and attract and interact with other chords in a love making frenzy resembling Medusa’s hair.
The energy can lay dormant for years. However, if you have a handful of chords and a cardboard box handy you can see the science in action.
Just grab a handful of chords of different sizes. Wind each chord separately and place all neatly wound chords in a box together, either next to each other or on top of each other, then close the box and put it away somewhere.
After a little while, around the time when you actually decide you need one of the chords, open the box.
If you are lucky and there was enough left over energy, you should find your chords intertwined and twisted together like the dreadlocks on a 40 year old full time surfer/jobseeker.
Other useful facts about chords:
- Earphone chords (like those on a portable mp3 player) are actually one chord. Having two heads makes this chord think it is two chords, and it can’t help but love itself so much it will twist and wind and knot all over its self if left alone in your bag or pocket unchecked.
- Chords do come in all different colors, but they camouflage themselves in a black coating for self defense during the regular snail paced chord orgies. They do this so that when you need to unplug one of them, you cannot follow it from start to end without going crazy losing track of it.
- The little thin chords are the horn bags of chord world and will slap their slinky thin bodies with any type of chord within sight. It loves to loop with all chords simultaneously making you consider scissors as an appropriate chord separating device.
- Thankfully, chords do not abuse their power often, but they are addicted to it. This is best witnessed when you try to take chord power away. Like an ocean game fish wraps fishing line around an outboard motor, so to, a desperate chord will latch onto anything in its path, to stop you bringing it in. Chords have been known to will bring down speakers, TVs, ironing boards and tables on many occasions.
Dead Space, Dead Same
February 12, 2011 – 6:04 am
Don’t we all love Dead Space 2.
I like Dead Space 1 and 2. I’m not sure why they made it twice though?
I mean, my memory is pretty bad, and its been awhile, but seriously, I could be playing the same game and wouldn’t tweak to it for a long while.
I think things are too much the same, guns, monstors, the ship, thus all scenery and my uniform.
Anyway, I still like Dead Space 2, it is still worth a play through (apprx 10 hrs) but given my poor memory, I could have just replayed the 1st edition and been none the wiser.
The lighting and sound really set a scary survival atmosphere.
Playing this game in a noisy day light setting is not a good idea.
I say hire it, borrow it, play it and then return it. Unless of course you are likely to play an hour a night or so over weeks.
You will have a good time.
Getting online with your Console
February 3, 2011 – 12:20 pm
Getting online
You can connect your xbox360 to the xbox live where you can connect to friends in or out of games, download content from xbox live, including movies, game demos, trailers and full games. Also, facebook and twitter have been redesigned and added to Xboxlive gold members.
You don’t surf the web on the xbox360 like you can on the wii or PS3. Note: there are limited exploits that can use media centre for web browsing, but they are not official programs.
Connect to internet in 3 ways.
Modem – Plug your xbox 360 directly into a modem and plug the modem into the internet.
Router – If you have other consoles or a PC or toaster that connects to the internet, you can use a router so all you can consoles and PCs and toasters connect to the internet.
Wireless: If your router also allows wireless, you could use this option. You will need a xbox360 wireless adaptar to make the xbox360 wireless. The PS3 is built in and the wii is also wireless. Now, you just need to find that 128 router access number.
I use a router and have a mix of wired connections and wireless. Handy that the PS3 is wireless.
