[Prototype.]



His name, is Alex Mercer. He doesn't know who he is, where he is, how he got there. All Alex knows is that he just got nailed by a military firing squad, and then got back up again unharmed, he can jump at extreme heights, and best of all. He can turn his body into weapons or other people.

That's how you begin your journey in[Prototype], as a man on a mission to get revenge for something you've forgotten. Along they way you uncover the truth behind your past, the infection ravaging New York City and your connnection to everything.

Aside from that though, you can slice people in half with a masssive sword that used to be your arm, Awesome.
I will be getting the game in two or so weeks, so once I do there will be a massve review and my opinions. For now I can only go on what I do know from friends and youtube, and that all seems positive.
Prototype is a GTA-esque free roamer, but the nsimiliarities end there, in no other game can you rampage around New York with a sword for an arm, or flying elbow drop tanks, or even turn into other people.
I know from experience and history that a game like this only comes up every now and again, so I urge people to get this game, and love it. It will be, and is, one of the best of the year.

Look! It's me again!

Well, my internet wad down. It's up now so once I get some stuff out of the way, I'll look over everything I need to do. I haven't watched any Animé in a while so I'm kinda in need of something to watch. I'm going to finish Karas first, then maybe watch Dragonball, I don't know.

Don't worry

^_^ Tenchi muyo!

I started watching it! And it is awesome, I've never actually laughed too much at the innuendo in Anime, since I think it's a bit forced sometimes. However This show manages to make me laugh, whilst also having spaceships, cute furry animals, aliens, pirates, sword fighting and explosions.

I am in love. I'll talk more on it once I've finished watching it.

Also, my favourite Samurai 7 character was without a doubt Kikuchiyo-Dono, he was both funny and kickass.

Modern Warfare 2 [2/2]

Ok, now all the trailers are out of the way, and your all hyped up ( I hope), let's continue.

Looking at the trailer I can see straight away it looks to be more action packed than the last, most of whihc was sneaky missions behind enemy lines as the SAS. Now we seem to be part of a Counter Terrorism unit and are intent on getting rid of the old bad guy's right hand man. Again, a little cliched if you ask me.

However looking at the trailer again, I can see vehicle gameplay will be there, and it looks like we can shoot whilst driving! Look closely as the snowmobile is driving, and you'll see his gun come up and fire! I'm all happy just about that.

It seems like som rather large battles are in store, the mountains and Brazil seem to be quite large and contain lots of fighting, the mountains of Russian also has the most brutal scene, where a man on a snowmobile is impaled through the skull, with an ice axe! I don't know if this is a set piece where an NPC does it, or it's one of your guys driving, either way it looks awesome.

It would seem someone's being interrogated too, he's wearing orange and I think he has explosives strapped to him-someone important? So far it seems the game is shaping up well, but I don't know whether it will be any different graphically to COD 4. I know that in HD COD 4 was easily the best looking shooter I had.

From information gleamed form interviews and Wikipedia, I've found that the story involves the character you played as in the last game one "Soap" MacTavish-who is now leader of a unit created to birng down one Vladimir Makarov. The name of this unit: Task Force 141.

I'm sure that a demo or some more trailers will become evident soon, and I'm excited-I know the switch to Modern War was strange for some and hated by others, but WAW showed me Treyarch are out of ideas, and if they can only copy Infinity Ward now-then let them do all the COD games I say.

As a parting shot, here's the Xbox case, which is awesome. However it isn't final.

Remember, remember-the 11th of November.


Modern Warfare 2 [1/2]


Here it is! I've managed to gain the chance to blog on a game just as the hype begins to build, so let's recap on COD 4.

Call of Duty 4 was the game that distinguished Inifinity Ward as a company willing to deviate from COD's standard WWII setting, it was at a good time since WWII shooters had been played on too much in the past. At first many were wary, but then as demos were released and hype began to build. People realised just what Inifinity Ward had done, they had been brave and came out with possibly the greatest FPS of all time.

Now COD 4 was very good, a little bit boring story wise, but being in a modern setting was enough for fans, who soon made it clear they enjoyed the game. Xbox Live and Playstation Network, advanced that, as COD 4's multiplayer was deemed the most popular next to Halo 3.

I know from experience, that playing online in a game of COD 4 is the most fun I've ever had. To get a bunch of friends together and play was brilliant, and it's Create-a-Class made the game just that little bit different to ensure you kept coming back.

Of course, then Treyarch got the next game and COD: World at War was essentially a carbon copy of COD 4 with WWII decorations. I refuse to admit it existed...Blergh.

Now the hype machine has begun to roll with the news of Modern Warfare 2 (note, not COD). The first teaser was one that contained some secrets, btu I'll let you watch it first:

Seen it? Excited?

Now if you go to the games site: http://modernwarfare2.infinityward.com/

Here people could examine the teaser and find things, amongst some things were some Perk icons, a teddy bear, and a couple of other images. All very interactive.For those of us, like me, who can't be arsed, feel free to watch this and see these images for yourself:

Now, on the 24th a full lenth trailer was released. This included gameplay, locations, and hints at the story line, locations revealed are, the mountains of Russia, Afghanstan and Brazil, watch the trailer and see for yourself:

I'm so forgetfull
















How could I forget! I just got reminded of another Anime that is excellent: Samurai 7, a re-envisioning of possibly the most famous movie to come from Japan, I saw it and my jaw dropped through every epsiode. It was both epic, and breathtaking, I enjoyed every minute of it.

Thank you Lostquestions for commenting on my firs tpost and reminding me.

If you haven't. Watch it.

Look Up

See the neat banner? I got in touch with a forum I used to run about on, got them too make me it, it's not the world greatest fit but it sure does look good. Well, Maybe I can get to work on some game stuff now, I've decided to change my next subject. Given recent events, tomorrow I'll attempt to get something up. Expect links to a video.

Let's just say, I really want November to come around.

Haruhi Suzumiya S2 first look?

I love The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, it's a quirky Science-Fiction comedy that I really enjoy watching, and I think the second season may be close to arriving in Japan

Ok, so before theygo anywhere with a second season of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (EPIC), their taking the first season and rerunning it in the correct orders, as before it ws aired out of chornological order deliberately. However through that a new episode has popped up, I don't know if it's a hint at the second season being close to airing, bt I'm downloading it now, so once I look it over I'll probably come on here to gush over it.

Not all Anime I watch is serious action, gore, or cyberpunk. This one was the second Anime I ever saw.
