I am 90% Video Game Addict.
I got a problem, man. I may not find the answer to life in a video game. I need to turn off the console or computer, go outside and try some reality for a change.

  Forza

  Apr 16, 2007 3:13 pm PTGt is a poor excuse for a simulation.I dont know about anyone else but i dont like or find it fun following cars on a rail on the course.GT needs to do something really bad to help it out with 5.The only thing it has going for it is all the cars and parts.Forza 1 killed gt4.And by the time GT5 comes out i think a forza 3 will be out.
  Thats what i said a few years back, gt is better to me and forza is coming out before gt like i thought!!!

  Fear 2 demo impresstions pt.1

  Ok, just got done playing the demo for fear 2, I can honestly say im not very impresed with it. I was trully looking forward to this game but it just seems a little mediocre. Here are a few things that bother me

  1. The slow ass movement you have.

  Now seeing how slowly your character moves is really discouraging. The first fear was very fast, and hectic at times when in combat.To me it seems like they were probably making this game primarily for consoles which i can understand, but after playing the first fear and then this it just feels like a let down.

  2. The sounds the guns make.

  I dont think ive been this dissapointed with how guns sound since doom 3. I was first thrown through a loop when i fired the shotgun and it sounded odd. In the demo they actually let you pick up a good amount of weapons and greanades. Everything about the sounds they make just dont seem right.

  3. The graphics

  Graphics dont always make a game, but they do help immerse you in them, for the most part fear 2 does a good job, good effects and lighting, nice particles. But underneath all that lies some trully blane looking textures. Character models dont look too good either, and while the first fear took graphics to new standards when it first came out, fear 2 does not.

  4. PDA pick ups

  This is a big one for me. the one thing i really hated about the first game was all the phone picking up and checking of the answering machines. I cannot tell you enough why i hated this. Which is why after watching new developer interviews they felt the same way i did...... so why is it in the sequel????

  This is just the begining, im gonna play it tommorow again on a 42 inch plasma screen in surround sound. Ill give second opinions on it too. I CANT HELP BUT FEEL DISSAPONTED. I was never too keen on fear 1, i thought it was just merly ok maybe a 7 out of 10 for me, but there where things that i liked about it including sound, gun design, and graphics, the gunplay was also fast and hectic. I was really hyped and looking forward to fear 2 but for me the core differences i liked about fear 1 was changed in fear 2.People are always gonna say well "this is a demo wait for the full game to come out" and all i have to say is yes i should wait for the full game to come out, but judging by how close to launch this game is, and how the old demo was i can say that this is how the game will be. I want to really be wrong. Again this is the first part here, maybe tommorow it'll be better. This is just a little tired rant i chose to throw out there to people who possibly feel like me.Please share your thoughts on the game I would really like to hear them!

  I'm back????

  Well idk if anyone is going to read this or check this out but I thought I would write a little something. ( or should i say type?) Ive been gone for quite a few months now, not even coming back to this site at all. Ive been a lingerer for the most part going to some game sites here and there, but for the last few months I've been at 1up. Now some of you may know or not but it recently has changed and been bought by UGO.

  For the second time a website that i loved along with the community has gone under, and truth be told that's one of the reasons if not solely the reason why I left gamespot. Truth be told I was an average lover at 1up and have been for years now but after all the turmoil of Gamespot I decided to take a leave of absence and give it a break. The main reason I stayed here was because of the community and all the friends I have here.

  While I'm deeply saddened by what happened to 1up and not being able to see the 1up show or broken pixels anymore I'm glad to be back here, seeing the same people still here that didnt jump the boat. Hopefully I will post more blogs and game reviews. I also have "somethings" up my sleeve for the future of this blog and my myspace, and my youtube channel, nothing is set in stone yet so i wont say what im doing until things are done.

  So on a happy note thanks everyone for possibly checking this out and stayed tuned, hopefully I'll have some better things coming up in the near future.
