  Rasengan !!!

  So I finally got my copy of inFamous yesterday . And I'm very much impressed by the game .

  

  Think of an open world GTA like game + a lot of electricity , and that'll pretty much give you an idea of what infamous is like . You take control of Cole MacGrath , a delivery man who gets caught in an insane explosion while delivering a package . On waking up , he finds himself surrounded by devastation all around - the entire city was engulfed by the blast and massively damaged . To his surprise , he finds that the explosion did something to his body and ... BAM, he now has the power to control electricity . Yay for Cole ... and that's how the adventure begins .

  

  

  Initial impressions

  Pros :

  -Great gameplay , that really allows you to carry out Cole's 1000 Watt moves with absolute ease . And this also makes moving around the city a BLAST .

  -Good story . So far , I'm very much keen on finding out more .

  -Not too easy and not too hard ... it's just right .

  Cons :

  - tiny visual glitches here and there ... did'nt really care about them though .

  SO that sums up my initial impressions on infamous , I'll be sure to post a full review once I'm done with it . PS3 owners - do not miss out on this game - it'll shock you how much fun it is to play it . HAHA , get it ? Shock ... I'm so awesomely funny .

  

  Apart from infamous , I've been playing FIFA 09 and Killzone 2 as well . FIFA 09 is an absolute blast with my friends , and Killzone 2 is an absolute blast online . I'm so close to my KZ2 platinum , I can smell it .

  Moving away from video games , my college starts on July 22nd . Goddamnit , this is'nt fair . I should'nt be in college . I'm too immature for it . Aww man , life can be cruel . Nevertheless , I guess I'll have to see what life has in store for me in college .

  Oh I totally forgot ... guess which show I've been watching a LOT of lately .

  

  Yup , that's right ... NARUTO SHIPPUDEN . It's great pastime during my holidays . IMO ... better than DragonBallZ .

  Alrighty then , that sums up this edition of my blog , so until the NEXT ONE ...

  TheIndianChild bids y'all goodbye , for now ...

  RASENGAN ...

  Michael Jackson is no more :(

  Three years ago , I remember watching a documentary about Michael Jackson with my brother on TV . We were great fans of his music , and we stil are . Thriller , Beat It , Black or White ... who can forget these classics ?

  During the commercial break , my brother turned to me and asked me " How do you think the world would react when MJ dies ? "

  It would be tragic , I thought to myself .

  Turns out , it was'nt just tragic . It's a whole lot worse than I thought it would be . Not only was it so sudden , but losing one of the greatest entertainers of all time... it's hard to believe . The feeling has'nt sunk in yet .

  Sure , there are things that he has done which we fail to understand . Things that he has done that shocked us . But at the end of the day , it's MJ , people , and let's not forget the 4 decades of amazing music that he gave us .

  RIP Michael Jackson

  

  TheIndianChild bids The King of Pop goodbye ... thanks for all the entertainment .

  My new banner , PSN ID , KZ2 update , donkeys , college and more ...

  Hey guys how do you like my new banner ? It would've been a great banner to represent the PS3 , but DMC4 is multiplatform , so ... guess it's just your regular ol' banner now .

  PS : A cookie to anyone who can guess all the characters . It's so freaking easy .

  Anyways , though , shifting the attention away from mah banner to more important stuff . I'm finally back to being a regular on Gamespot . This past year , for me , has been really hard for me . It's bad enough you're in 12th grade . It makes things even worse with the crappy Indian Education system that shoves loads of books up your @$$ and expects you to study like a donkey day in and day out .

  Kay , I know donkeys have nothing to anything , but just go along with me , kay ?

  And now , I'm off to college . GAWSH , me ? College ? WTF ? ... seriously ... me ? College ? WTF ? I feel so old and grown up .

  

  

  Now for a little Killzone 2 talk . Yes , yes , it's been a month since I got my PS3 . Although It was only since yesterday that I could really play it , with a clear head . Yesterday was my last exam , and so my holidays start now . Yay , me and the Helghasts ... FINALLY TOGETHER . Nothing can ever come between us .

  It's an amazing game . It's seriously like , awesome . I love the controls . The weapons are so sexy . I think I've put only about 10 hours into online play so far , but that's ok , cuz now that I'm finally free , it's gonna be a lot more . Moreover , I'm trying to get a platinum trophy in KZ2 . It'll be hard , but I'm doing good so far , I guess . Actually , really good . Yesterday I got my first PS3 gold trophy , for completing Killzone 2 on Elite mode . It's not terribly tough , just that there are one or two segments where you can expect to die a LOT of time . The last level in particular , is the only ELITE thing about ELITE mode . That too , not Radec himself , but his wave of enemies . Man , they sure can put up one hell of a fight .

  Now , I've got only 15% more of campaign left to complete ( colleting all the symbols and intel crap is still left ) . So I guess I can put that on hold and start playing some hardcore online matches now .

  FYI , for all my friends , my PSN ID is TheIndianChild ( no surprises there ) . I was worried at first whether this username would be available on psn , but then I realized that nobody would think of such a ridiculous username .

  Moving on , here are the two games that I will most probably be getting myself by June .

  Infamous ( curse you Gagan for owning this game ) and FIFA 09 ( I'm a football fanatic )

  That's all for this blog post , until zee next one ...

  TheIndianChild bids you adieu , pour maintenant ( French , anyone ? )
