Sleeping Dogs



Sleeping Dogs is one of the more memorable, enjoyable games I have played this Gen..
It is an open world Sand box GTA style, but it is 100% original , and amazing!!
The game starts off with our protagonist Wei Shen, part cop, part Triad gang member. Wei Shen is on his was to solving a crack case and is about to end all criminal activity in Hong Kong, when suddenly he is droped into the dangerous world of the Hong Kong mafia.
Everything about this game is great. Graphics are top notch and crisp. Game play is smooth and intuitive, I was especially found of the Combat mechanics, was a bit reminiscent to Batman Arkham Assylum. I also enjoyed the Driving and racing, for an open box game, the racing mechanics were spot on and tight.
I would highly recommend the game with confidence, to any videogame fan in general.
I will give this game an 9/10. Ive completed the story 100% and found all the optional collectables.
Sleeping Dogs took me about 50 hrs to beat, and amongst my top 10 games of this gen gaming..

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune




wow, did I just watch a movie or play a video game?
If anyone knows how to make awesome video games Naughty Dog is defiantly the  high quality studio , that knows what there doing.
Naughty dog has some large franchises to back them up as well, From Crash bandicoot a huge staple game on the ps1, to jak and daxter for the ps2, and now the uncharted series for the ps3.
as well recently Sony has purchased Naughty Dog so we should be able to expect much more high quality triple A titles in the future.

Uncharted , is a very good game, it's essentially a 3rd person shooter mixed in with platforming elements.
basiclay a Tomb raider clone, not saying thats a bad thing, but that is the genre of the game.
I am extremely pumped for beating this game and am looking forward to completing this trilogy in the close future.
Drakes fortune is full of excitng gameplay , amazing graphics, memorable characters , tons of secrets, and good replay value, with collecting all the treasure. There is about  60 hidden treasures in game, I found maybe about 50. but collecting the treasure is extremely addictive.
I love Naughty dog and the Uncharted series, Nathan Drake is an awesome hero/ protagonist
overall game is getting 8/10 not perfect as it was made in 2007 , so the game hasn't aged 100%. but still an awesome kick ass game

thanks and good night

Plants vs Zombies iphone

Good day .

Plants vs Zombies is one of the best, most addictive handheld games I have played ever in my life.
The game is a basic Tower defence game, I love the humour , art style, graphics, game play.
I have beat this game about 4 times, and for such a small price to pay $2.99 it was well worth the investment.

I did find the game play to be a bit broken , as once you have learned and master the game play mechanics, you can basicly manipulate and cheat the system,

I wont go into too much detail with the game, as PvZ is a different type of game, and it's hard to review , an iphone game..
This game is extremely popular and has made it too all system, thus far, except the psp and nintendo wii.

Over all highly recommended game, with extremely deep value, and highly repayable.
8/10

thank you and good day

Muramasa the demon blade



Muramasa, you are one sick ass game bud.

Essentially this game is a throw back to old school beat em ups/sidescrollers. The game hits so many genres it's epic.

The game is basically a side scroller, platforming, beat em up, with rpg and shmup (shoot em up ) elements.
At the start of the game you have a choice between two ninjas/ characters, I went ahead and choose the girl character. and started in beginner mode. I was doing combos that literally involved 100 hits.
While progressing through the game you could upgrade your Muramasa(sword) to many different blades. you had a choice to upgrade to long blades and short blades, the upgrade system worked similar to the upgrade system of that in Final fantasy X. It's basically a grid that you move around and use points gained in battle to spend on new blades, the whole thing is very addictive,
Now this game is a throw back to the old school, but the game is simply stunningly beautiful to look at , and the graphics are inspired by old Chinese water paintings.( think Okami..)


Now I haven't completed the game 100% , as there are two modes for two characters, (normal and hard)
I have completed the girls side of the story, in normal mode. 
I'm very satisfied with the addicting game play, a throw back to old school  with a new school art design that's incredibly beautiful to look at .8/10

Thank you and good night

Batman Arkham Asylum


Holy awesome game Batman!!!

Good day, Batman AA is a fantastic, amazingly engrossing game, I love it.
Not many comic book based games are good, of course with the exception of the earlier spidey games.
The games intro is just simply insane. walking down the cold Asylum halls, gives you a great sense and feel of the darkness that is batman.
I love the graphics the game play is top notch .. even though a bit repetitive . The combat is good , not too confusing , it's basically just batman and your controller, there is no locking onto the targets necessary , that is a bit of a change from standard action games. I liked that it didn't have a lock on option. gave the game a more  raw feel.
One negative aspect with BM aa was the detective mode. I found myself using the detective mode throughout the entire game, I did miss allot of the beautifully rendered graphics, but on the other hand, I liked the fact that I could see exactly where the baddies were. (also the Gargoyles)
One of my favourite aspects of the game was when batman would walk into a room  , with 10 guys in the room, and just start unleashing powerful combos, also the counter attack the B man would use was perfect.
Over all I am giving the game an 8/10 , and I cant wait for BM AC.
thanks and until next time.

Pokemon games and Future

Good Morning.
so recently I have been doing a bit of research on Augmented Reality (AR) ,What AR  is ,can be defined as instead of humans going into the virtual world, we can bring the virtual world into our real physical world.
I remember watching the old Pokemon Anime, or playing the classic gameboy pokemon games (blue and red) and thinking man would this be cool if we could actually battle pokemon in "real" life, Well we might be one step closer to that reality. as recently developers/researchers have perfected this AR technology.
Remember the old pokemon card battling games, where it was just you and the cards .. well not too exciting right? but now gamers can use cards to do battle and animations will actually "pop" out of the cards. here is an example.
I just wanted to share this bit of info , as the future of video games, and just life as we know in general is changing drastically, and AR will be a major movement and a huge deciding factor for our lives in the near future.

2020 Tech Movement......

Happy Birthday to My Big baby

Good Morning and Happy Birthday I hope you are having a great day working on
your Bday .

Can't want for some fun tonight, Hope you enjoy your Red Guess Pumps.
and all the best for a wonderful person on this very special day.
Love you this birthday and the next 28 birthdays


Dragon Quest V - Square Enix, Nintendo DS.


Dragon Quest or Dragon Warrior , whichever you prefer, is simply an amazing game series. but more specifically I am talking about Dragon Quest V . I had recently beatin' DQV and I must say, I thought it was simply a great RPG, with a rich cast of characters, and a very enthralling story.
The story takes place over three generations of the "Heroes" life. It took me about 80+ hours to beat the game.but once completed I was very satisfied with the game over all.
I did spend a bit of time grinding my characters tho, so by the time I was finished the game my party members were almost god like. The bosses were not that much of a challenge, except for the final boss of course, I think I died during that fight maybe once or twice, but that was because I lacked using magic skills, such as magic defence and offence ( Buff, Kasap, Oomph, Bounce etc...) basically those magic skills are debilitating, healing and support magic types. But once I figured out the final boss's move and tricks, I was quick to counter him.
Overall I am giving Dragon Quest V an 8/10. It wasn't the best RPG I have played, but it was my first Dragon Quest game to complete in full.
 I beat the game on the Nintendo DSi XL 25th Mario anniversary limited edition system, so that alone is also an epic feat'.

Japanese developers unharmed by massive earthquake..

I don't know what to really think about this. Sure these companies are ok , but the other millions of people struck by this devastation is just horrible.


Breaking bad, is Good


AMC is on an epic television role these days. What, with the surprise sleeper hit The walking dead....
(but we will save that for another blog)
anyway former Malcolm in the middle father Bryan Cranston, plays a cancer patient Meth artist...
I can't say to much about the show just of yet, as I have only began watching it,
but from the first 2 episodes I am hooked (like a meth addict). Can't wait to see the rest of the season.
