  Resistance Reservation and The Transition from Zune to Ipod.

  Hello people (mostly likely a couple of you actually reading this), its been sometime but ive been bloggin a little more often, which is good. Anyways, I have some news. Resistance: Retribution is coming out March 17 and i reserved it. With the reservation came a demo and found the demo to be pretty good, though the game seems far from perfect (just by the demo). Since this game was developed by Sony Bend, the geniuses behind Syphon Filter, the game has some similarities to Syphon. For example some gun reload sound effects are the same and has a close control scheme. But some effects used in Syphon that were great arent used, such as tapping the analog twice to take cover to certain places (there is an auto cover though). And also I have given up on Zune. I thought the Zune was a pretty cool mp3 at first b4 i started encountering glitches and tons upon tons of "the only way you can get this song is if you buy the whole album". Plus, it seems outdated when there are so many better mp3's out there (including the PSP!). Itunes is much better in organization and such so im probably gonna get an itouch soon and have fun with an mo3 instead of encountering number upon number of problems

  Games I Really Need to Review, Crysis, and A Birthday

  Its hard finding the time to write reviews, even though i enjoy doing it. With school, my girlfriend (10 months together), the foundation and everything else, i just seem to be at a stand still in time to review. Games i really want/need to review include Resistance 2, Motorstorm, Warhawk, Crash Commando, Bioshock, God of War2, and so on. I might review one of these tonight, or another depends. Also, im having a crisi situation with "Crysis". I got the game for xmas to play on the computer. But unfortunately, we dont have the right video card to support the game. Bummer, i was looking forward to it. I think the video card is "PCI Express 16X" or something like that. Hopefully we get the card required on my birthday which is on February 17th. Less than 2 days away!!!!!

  P.S: Are all Vista game reqiured to be played on that video card or is it just Crysis?
