Hey guys, haven't done one of these in a while. I haven't been active on Gamespot as much as I used to be. I would love to say that the reason is because I don't have enough time or that I will be more active in the future, but the sad truth is im slowly losing intrest in this website. I apologize if I don't comment on your blogs (although I try to read as many as I can), or read your reviews. I will still be posting reviews and the occasional blog, but I will rarely venture to the forums. If I do post at all, it will be in my union (GS Lounge), the GameSpot Community Union, and the Off-Topic forum. If you are interested in reading all of my reviews, and blogs (usually daily), then check out my profile on NoobFeed. On a lighter note, I purchased the Uncharted PS3 bundle (160gb PS3, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and a downloadable game) and so far I have been loving every moment of it. I won't go as far as comparing the Xbox to the PS3 (both have their highs and lows), but I will say that I am happy with the purchase, especially with all the awesome exclusives recently released and announced at E3. As promised in the title, here are the reviews for Mass Effect and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.

A few weeks ago I watched borninvincible's very first video review. This inspired me to make a video review of my own. As a sidenote, this is my first video review, I recorded it at 1 A.M, and I was hopped up oncoffee... which is why I studdered a couple times in the middle.
I would appreciate any feedback or constructive criticism.
EDIT: I just recieved a strange new emblem.
GameSpot stamped me as remarkable!
GameSpot members who frequently update their profiles with blogs, images, videos and reviews are remarkable! Those featured in the member spotlight are hand picked for having an informative about me page and interesting blog. Hats off to borninvincible for creating the emblem.This emblem was awarded probably for this video review, and was made by borninvincible. If irony was made out of strawberries... we would all be drinking a lot of smoothies right now

I was getting a little bored with my old profile look, the banner to be more specific. What I have up right now is probably a place holder while I find an abstract fractal that I like, or just make my own. Keep in mind, I made this at 3 A.M last night, half asleep and half pumped up on coffee. The dimensions are a little bit messed up, but this will do until I get some free time. I would appreciate if you could rate the new look on a scale of 1-10. Thank you!
P.S: I just hit level 16, and I have been hearing a few rumors about it. The first one is the one I remember being right, that you get through level 16 in a day and move onto level 17... but then level 20 takes months to get past. The other rumor I heard is that it takes a little bit longer to get through level 16 (and a few other levels), but level 20 will be a little bit easier. If anyone could verify anything I would appreciate it.

So Thursday afternoon I went to Gamestop to pick up Gears of War 2. I had an extra sixty bucks flopping around in my pocket so I thought that Gears 2 would be worth the money from what I have heard. I snooped around the store for a little bit, and made a shocking discovery. Some of the best singleplayer RPG's and Shooters for the Xbox 360 range $15-30 dollars each! Usually I see used games going for fourty or fifty bucks... but I have never seen games this good for this cheap. I picked up Mass Effect, Oblivion:The Elder Scrolls, and Bioshock.... all for $55 bucks including tax. I bought Bioshock and Oblivion for $25 dollars each and recieved Mass Effect for free (buy 2 get 1 free).
I was planning on playing a lot of Bioshock, but to my surprise I have been addicted to Mass Effect lately.
The other thing that happned that Thursday, is right after Gamestop I stopped by Panera Bread. I turned out to be their last customer before they closed. I have never seen employees like that in my life... they were almost partying. Since they were donating their pastries to a foundation, they didn't see any harm in giving me a pound of cookies

Well, at this point everyone is aware that the United States has seen better days. Everywhere you go you see companies folding, and the ones which are still alive are cutting back on the paychecks just to last another few months. During economic struggle, taking risks seems harder than usual... especially for the gaming industry.
If you are one of the few people on this website that knows me on a personal basis then you already know my idea of a relaxing afternoon. After I get home I like to forget about my stressful everyday life and enjoy some Headquarters or even Search and Destroy(Call of Duty 4). Honestly, I probably would not have even pulled out my Xbox from the attic if my PC didn't crash, so I did what any sensible human being would do; trade one addiction for another. Although Call of Duty 4 isn't as diverse as World of Warcraft, it still keeps one entertained. Why is it that hundreds of thousands of people still play a somewhat old game two years after its' release? From the exterior, Call of Duty 4 seems like an average First Person Shooter. There is no one thing that makes this game successful, but a combination of little details which create an atmosphere that keeps the gamer coming back for more.This atmospherealonegives Call of Duty 4 a unique identity, and feels like you are playing something entirely new.Infinity Ward gambled with their popular title, since all of its predecessorshave focusedon World War II (and were quite successful).
It seems that some of these "big" games that turned out to be flops have scared the developersfrom thinking outside the box. A perfect example of a game that flopped is Hellgate: London. The messiah of Diablo fans supposedly failed them. In reality, asjagged the game is(with the online servers done for), it introduced some brilliant ideas that were in fact "copied" by games which turned out to be hits. Without games like Hellgate: London, other games would not have been as successful, or diverse. The industry has its stepping stones, and what separates a stepping stone from ahigh quality game is the effort and execution.
Hype has a large role to play in how new forms of games are viewed. The first thing a game trailer will want to focus is what makes their game different from the Pacman and Mario games of the world. Back when the "current-gen" first started, the Xbox 360 had a clear head start, ranking in front of the PS3 and Wii. At the timeSony had no exclusive games that would make an individual want to buy the PS3. Sony went all in on a game called Lair. There was much talk aboutit being an AAA game. Everyone knows how that turned out... hard to have a successful game if the players can't control their units. With that, there was no more risk taking for quite a bit of time. All of the major corporations played it safe, mainly releasingsequels which couldn't be identified from the original games.
What is the objective of failing course in school? It isn't supposed to degrade you, it should show you that you need to put in more effort and inspire you. Going back to Hellgate London; after mediocre results Blizzard said "Screw it guys, were going back to the plan... Diablo 3." Very few sequels actually change the gameplay mechanics and atmosphere. The focus is on creating a new story wrapped in the same old gameplay with slightly improved graphics. It can be seen as tricking the public from a point of view, but the problem is the public wants the same old, generic garbage. We have had a gaming console for three years that is controlled by preforming actions in real life (Wii), and we have yet to come up witha gametruly amazing for it, unless your definition of amazing is doing yoga on a plastic board.
The sad truth is that the companies are scared to be creative, due to the increased chance of failure. Failure results in less money, and at this pointeveryone is trying to get as much money as they possibly can. I wouldn't blame them. The reviewers have gone after them like crazed dogs, emphasizing bad gameplay and other problems instead of focusing on the positives. With economic recession comes gaming recession as well.
By no means am I saying that there is no creativity in the business. Hell, look at Fallout 3.... that game is an experience which I will remember for quite a long time due to its unique mix of the roleplaying and first person shooter genres. The purpose of this blog was to remind people that you are playing the exact same game, just with different characters and settings.Maybe if we show a little more support towards the efforts for unique game layouts thenmaybe,just maybe we will restore some lost confidence to our beloved friends.

So today I logged on Gamespot a little after I got home and visited the Off-Topic forum, which is where I usually post. Oleg_Huzwog, who was voted the funniest GS user in the little OT awards thing had responded to a post in a thread where a man shot a soccer player right before he was going to score (in Iraq). Apparentlythe person who made the original post didn't read the article clearly.This is what Oleg had to say about the post;
Oleg_Huzwog wrote:LeePearce wrote:Did he die?
Usually, individuals who are "shot dead" have a habit of dying.I don't know about you but it brightened up a pretty bad Monday for me
.In other news. I hate coach Josh McDaniels of the Broncos. Basically he toldtheir best player, Jay Cutler, to take a hike. Thanks Josh, just killed the organization. Cutler requested a trade, so if Cutler gets out or if he stays... either way the Broncos are a mess going into the 2009 season.

What happens when Hollywood runs out of ideas and turns to Michael Bay to create a remake of one of the best horror movies of all time? Well... nothing really just the waste of 90 minutes of your life. At first it looked like it had some potential, but then it ruined everything by not having uhhmmm whats that one thing that you have in movies.... uhmm .. plot. Thats it, thats the one. They set the story up in the beginning and then just let Jason on the loose killing people.. over and over and over. Nothing interesting, no twists in the end, just great effects from Michael Bay.
Thats basically it. I guess its a decent movie compared to some of the crappy horror stuff they have now, but its nothing special.

Well most of you probably don't care what I have to say, or where I have been lately, but thats not going to stop me. The past two months all I have been doing is going to football practice, playing World of Warcraft/Call of Duty 4, sleeping, and then repeating the steps all over again in the morning. Yes I know I am a nerd in a way, but WoW did keep me busy for a while.... well until yesterday. I woke up and tried to log in on my account which consists of Level 70 Warlock (Full Epics), Level 70 Mage (Half Epics), Level 67 Warrior (Been Working on him Forever), Leve 62 Rogue, Level 44 Druid, Level 39 Priest, and about twelve more characters above level 20. I tried once; the password was wrong. I turned caps lock on and tried again; password is still wrong. Well im guessing thats a goodbye to my account considering the e-mail address that the account was signed up for was my brothers e-mail.... and im pretty sure he deleted that e-mail address as well.
Well I guess its time to prestige again on Call of Duty 4, although I cut off my time on Xbox to about 30-90 minutes daily. Now that Warcraft isn't distracting me , I will probably start spending more time on Gamespot. In other news: I never got GTA IV. I guess I kind of forgot about it with all of the things going on. I am most likely not going to get around to it this summer, but im hoping by the time school starts again I can buy or borrow it.
I guess thats pretty much it. Right now I still can't believe that ive worked all of those hours on a pointless online video game that hardly helps you in real life. And to add on to that, all of it is gone so all my work has been for nothing. I guess this is a goodbye to the MMORPG chapter of my life. I am still going to be browsing the Internet, mainly listening to music and posting on forums. I am trying to limit my gaming so I will have more time to focus on more productive activities for the time being.
In other news: I saw Batman: The Dark Knight about a week ago, and I am planning to go see it at least 2 more times with some friends. The movie was just amazing. To tell you the truth I went to the movie because Heath Ledger was dead... really naive thought. That was the greatest role I have seen him play, and also probably the best Villain I have ever seen in a movie. Christian Bale was very good as well, but I think the drug overdose tradegy drew attention to Heath Ledger.

This update will just be a really quick one so here I go ; first about my exams. This was my Math exam and to my surprise I got a 90% on it, which translates to a 4. This surprised even me because I am awful when it comes to taking math tests....usually get an 80% or 85% if im lucky. I guess multiple choice is easier compared to showing youar work.
The next update is that my controller for the Xbox 360 went out a while ago so I guess there go my summer plans. I don't have the money to buy a new one, I don't know if im working this summer, my parents would love nothing better than to drive a silver steak through my hardrive, and none of my friends are willing to lend me theirs for the summer. With that being said don't expect to see me on Xbox Live playing Call of Duty 4 or any of the other awesome games I just got.... ohh what irony.
With my Xbox being done with for a few weeks at least, I turn to my PC for an unlikely source of inspiration. If you know me in real life I kicked the addiction to World of Warcraft, and im not going to play it again. Instead I started looking for a free MMORPG... and don't even tell me to check out Runescape. Instead I found this game known as Tales of Pirates. It is quite fun, a little bit addictive, and not too competitive. Its a very good game and as of right now its satisfying my gaming needs. If you want to kill some time than go ahead and download this game. It is an average MMORPG experience but probably the best free MMORPG I have ever played.
P.S.: I recently played Condemded 2: Bloodshot (its good to have friends) and the game is amazing. Great close combat, scariest game I have ever played by far, and it puts you in this mood. We had fun playing with the volume on high at 1 A.M with no one home... yeah.... I don't advise it.

To whom it may concern; I haven't been on lately but hopefully I will become a lot more active in the next few weeks. This week I finished most of my exams, except one which I am taking this Wednsday. I also have a end-of-year project on Thursday which is a big deal. It counts about 15% of my grade in 4 of my classes so don't expect to see me on Gamespot until next Friday or so.
In other news I finally got my hands on GTA IV... err well if you want to call it that. I played about 30 minutes into the story mode and so far I am seeing good things. The only thing that is weird is adjusting to the driving. The zooming in, out, and around can really get annoying. Hopefully I will purchase GTA IV for good sometime next week.
Finally best news of the day: My brother is leaving for college and I "inherited" most of his Xbox 360 games, even though about 40% of them were arcade games. I got some classics like GRAW and Forza Motorsport 2... but im not really playing them. Right now my focus is Call of Duty 4, and until I get GTA or hit the last prestige im afraid im not going to touch the 30 or more games that I just got. So I guess thats all that I can say. If you want to play on Xbox Live than just message me and I will give you my gamertag.

First things first, if you don't know who Jack Thompson is than this is the time to learn. He is a attorney and an activist who hates most forms of rock and rap music, and has a very strong hate for video games. Every crime can be pinpointed to a false cause. I clearly remember a group of children that committed suicide after listening to Judas Priest. That ruined the bands reputation forever. Just because something takes place before a crime doesn't make it the cause. I am probably getting a head of myself. Let me track back a little bit.
First of all you might be thinking; "Moroes why are you bugging ole' Jack, he hasn't done anything big in the past couple of months."
This might be true, but notice the word "big in that sentence. This guy is always spreading awareness on how games ruin the youth of America. Although in some way this is true, it doesn't mean that everyone who purchases a game is going to get out of shape, addicted, and ruin his own life. Most of us are casual gamers that play just to get our mind off of school or work. Its kind of ironic that an attorney is behind all of this, and the scary thing is that many conservative Christians are jumping on the video game bashing bandwagon.
Lets put a magnifying glass on some of the things that Jack has linked together in the past:
February 2003: Jack vs. GTA A teenager named Justin Lynch murders JoLynn Mishne. Happens that Jack was the attorney facing this young man. Before the trial was over, he boldly told the judge about Grand Theft Auto. It seems Dustin was addicted with GTA. Okay I see where your getting at..... but then again you think that's the motive behind all this? Drugs? Alcohol? Revenge? Nope we choose video games. Its absolutely impossible that Lynch had a drinking problem, or was a drug addict? Hell looking at the statistics now, more than 30% of 16 year olds drank or smoked marijuana. I think its more in the 50% range. I mean what would GTA teach this kid that's new? How to shoot a gun? Give an AK-47 to a monkey and I am sure that even a chimpanzee can figure it out. Making false assumptions and lying... the secret of the courtroom.
There are multiple cases where Jack linked a murder or crime to Grand Theft Auto or Rockstar games. He claims that the series influenced these murders. Sounds like he's using this as a tool for money instead of good.
2005: Jack vs. Bully Seems that we have a pattern here. Rockstar seems to be the scapegoat err.. uhmmm I mean target. He had a major dispute over whether Bully should be released or not. "This game shows you - by bullying - how to take over your school." Its a game. What where games originally made for? To allow us to get in a world where we can do things that we can't in real life.... well most games. If a person takes this out of context it isn't the company's fault for making the game, its the persons fault for being below the average IQ level. Common sense tells you that you can't run around for hours going on sprees of killing or beating people up. If you do than you either need an Institute or Prison.
I am going to have to cut it there because I have so much to say about this man that I can't list it all... an yes some of it is against the Terms of Service. I hope the next time you see him on television you think about what he really is saying and decide on which side you agree with the most. To help you understand who this man is and what he stands for, I have linked a couple videos. It seems like hes making most of his stuff up as he goes. Thanks for reading!

As you all know this was one of the most anticipated weeks in the gaming world. Of course I am talking about the release of GTA IV. Since everyone has been making some sort of blog about this, I guess I will too. If you have played any of the previous Grand Theft Auto games, than you know that this franchise set a standard for future games of this genre (True Crime, Saints Row, Etc.). I can remember when the franchise started off with a third person maze world. Although it was more of an arcade game than a shooter, it was just plain fun. In 2002, Rockstar Games really started making a name for themselves with the release of Grand Theft Auto III. Saying that this changed everything is an understatement. Following its release, Rockstar tried to preserve its franchise releasing Grand Theft Auto games. Although Vice City and San Andreas were successful, Liberty City Stories was an average game. What happened is that GTA had gained a massive amount of respect and people expected the most out of the new releases. Now that you are familiar with the history, lets start to talking about the real deal.
Now if you own a next gen console than you know all about this game and how much anxiety it caused this year. Simply put it is the most awaited game this year, well I guess you can say it was the most awaited game. No, I have not bought it yet, but from what I have been hearing it has delivered every inch of what was expected from it. Usually when a game has this much hype, people forget how good it is and focus on the bad points. Surprisingly, all of this game's flaws were overlooked. Why? Was it the gameplay? Online mode? Or is it just that damn good? It looks like its a little bit of all three mixed in it.
Here is where the controversy kicks in. Gamespot hasn't had a perfect game rating in seven years. Does it really take that long to make a perfect game, or have expectations sky rocketed in the new era. From what I see the citizens of Gamespot have drawn a line. Two sides are formed and they either hate it or love it, most being on the "love it" side. Some people blog about this game being overrated, and others say that Justin hit the nail on the head. Well lets see what makes a perfect score, shall we?
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 : I guess if you keep remaking a game and adding more details and features, eventually you are going to get the perfect game. Luckily for Activision, they got the job done after only a few attempts. I must be pretty bold when I say this, but I never noticed a difference between any of the Tony Hawk games. Although the Underground series lunges the series into a whole different era of skating games, that's just it... its a skating game. If I want to have street races I can buy Need for Speed. Trying to hard, maybe?Soul Calibur : Unlike Pro Skater 3, I have few bad things to say about this game. I knew people who purchased a Dreamcast just to own this game. You can almost say that this as a legend, or a messiah of the fighting genre. For the time the graphics were very good, and its one of those games that you just play with a friend for hours and hours without getting bored. I must be crazy saying I like the Gamecube version better, but then again if it wasn't for Soul Calibur, there wouldn't be Soul Calibur II.
The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina of Time : Recently I visited my younger cousins, 13 and 12 years of age. They have a Playstation 2, N64, Gamecube, and a Wii. They aren't serious gamers to say the least. They are Nintendo Fanyboys though. If the game doesn't have Mario, Link, or Sonic than they don't play it. You can easily tell that they aren't desperate enough to resort playing the older consoles, yet they still played Ocarina of Time constantly. Why exactly? I don't know the reason. The only thing I know is that the game must be extremely good to keep two Nintendo Fanboys addicted to it... right?The last game in the "perfect" category is Chrono Cross, which sadly I have never played so I cannot shed light on the subject.
Cheers to Grand Theft Auto IV for joining this elite group. Whether it deserved this or not will be never known because the word has been said... but I am defiantly looking forward to checking out the game. So kids, the morale of the story is don't always trust reviews. Renting is the way to go.

Today when I sat down to play some Xbox with a couple of friends I was expecting to have some fun, busting some caps. Instead my controller kept turning off in the middle of the game. Now if you don't know, my controller is screwed up beyond all recognition. When it has all but one if its bars, it starts turning itself on and off like it has almost no battery power left. You think thats bad enough? Theres more. My wired microphone doesn't work with the controller. I have tried to buy a new one, but I don't exactly have enough money to just go on shopping sprees for things I can survive without. You can at least let me play my game, but no, no, no, no ,no. This controller has been bothering me for the past couple of weeks, and I have had enough.
Later in the afternoon I rolled by Gamestop to finally get rid of those days were I scavenger the house for spare batteries. I was going to buy the rechargeable battery pack for $20.00. I went in, said "hi" to the clerk, and browsed for a couple of games that I would want to rent or buy later. After about ten minutes in the store I finally found what I came for, and immediatly went to the register. The man up there seemed polite, maybe in his late twenties or early thirties. Knowing me, as soon as I what I needed, I rushed out of the store and was getting ready to enjoy playing full games without being interrupted. For some reason, when I hit the car I viewed the check. Oddly enough, I payed 30 dollars for a 20 dollar item. Mixed in with the tax, it was about 22 dollars, but what about the other 8 dollars. I sprinted back to the store and started raising hell at the register. The poor cashier had no option but to give me the money back. So kids, the moral of this story is... don't shop at Gamestop.

NOTICE: This blog was written on April 6th and posted April 8th due to horrible Tech Support at Bellsouth. Well either way that is a story for another time so here is the blog that should have been posted two days ago.
First of all I would like to mention that this is a response to Draqq_Zyxorian's blog about Rock Band online. Even though I don't really play Rock Band, I know how it feels to get screwed out of a kill on first person shooters. You get that feeling in your stomach, and your mind tells you to turn on your microphone and just blast that sorry loser out. Unfortunately, on most online games there is some form of punishment for bad behavior, whether its bad reputation or a suspension. Perhaps you end up taking your anger out on your controller (keyboard, joystick, etc), or just bottle it, up but its still in the back of your mind. Here are some things that piss me off on Xbox Live and PC shooters.
1. Stealing Kills (Especially when your sniping) - This applies mostly to Call of Duty 4, considering it introduces the "Last Stand" perk. So you found your perfect spot, and you have a tango(enemy) in sight that isn't moving... camping perhaps. You take the shot... and score! +10 right? Nope, it seems he was shot down in last stand by a nearby ally... who you might have saved by the way. Now this might not seem like a big deal at first, but most of the time this occurs multiple times in a single match. Sometimes by the exact player. At the end of the day you take a backseat with eight kills, while this ninja looted up three of your kills and got twenty eight overall. What are you going to do now? Are you going to leave or are you just going to hope this doesn't happen again. Ninjas, be sure to talk to your teammates about the kills you are going to steal because it might not be alright with everyone else.
2. Trash Talk - We all know that there are some players out there that are just really good at a certain game. They are used to the controls, they get the most kills and points, and are usually the highest rank. Now most of those players deserve bragging rights because they did play the game a long time and got better at it as time passed. Just because you got 45 kills and poor Joe over there got only 12 doesn't mean that you can start talking about how bad he is. I respect that you are a good player, but no one needs to hear crap about them being a noob, or something alone those lines. I bet if you were playing a different kind of match Joe would destroy you at it, and wouldn't call you out too boot. If you are one of those people that can't hold back, by all means keep talking. I found that 40% of the time those so called "leet" players end up at the bottom of the list the next match. Then your publicly exposed as the jerk you are, which is more the reason not to talk trash, unless you can back it up of course.
3. Clans/Guilds - Probably one of my favorite features in online gaming, role-playing and shooters is the ability to start and join clans, in which a group of gamers train together, have a good time, and eventually battle other clans. Sometimes you have a clan that has an ego. They are such great campers in whatnot, killing you where you spawn and making gaming a living hell altogether. I am not saying all clans are like this, most of them just like to have a good time. There are the occasional competitive groups that are all business, but they usually don't waste time in Public Matches. If you are a member or leader of a clan, please remember your values and that your playing this for fun. I have seen numerous clans get nasty towards newer players just because they aren't as good. I bet if you look back to when you first started playing that game online, you weren't much better than him. Keep the ego down and enjoy yourself instead of making enemies online.
4. Traitors - The most annoying part of an online shooter is that on rare occasions you have a player that is trigger happy. Sometimes this eager teammate kills you accidentally, but you can tell when they are killing their allies on purpose. I have a simple question for these kind of players. Why? Why do it? You lose points, you probably lose reputation, and eventually everyone will leave the game. Is it fun ruining people's matches to you? I mean it just doesn't make any sense to me. In most games, when you kill someone on your side you have a penalty. If you are just messing around and the people you are playing with are just having a good time killing each other, than by all means join in. Those people who just join a game and kill all of their teammates are in my mind the scum of the world... or the Internet or whatever your playing the game on.
So bottom line is that online gaming can be fun and enjoyable if you don't your not playing with the kind of people that love ruining people's days or are just too full of themselves to realize that they aren't the best. If you happen to be one of the geniuses that figures out that camping gets you more kills, or that betraying is amusing than please refrain from Public games and contact with the gaming society. Thank you.
