We’ve hit commentary number 9! This is part two of the demolition game that I posted last week, so sit back, relax, and enjoy!
My final score this game was 155 and 23 and I had a lot of chopper gunners this game, but you know your boy still does work even when he’s on the ground!
I hope that your weekend was awesome and you had a great time relaxing from the week!
Commentary number 8 is here! There are two parts to this one, just because it was such a long gameplay, so keep checking back!
My final score this game was 155 and 23, and yes, at some points I did just chill back and rack up some killstreaks, but I held the map down for my team while I was chillin’, so go ahead and say what you want, but I uploaded this because this isn’t some spectacular gameplay, this is just how I play sometimes and so here it is, the real me!
Hopefully over Labor Day Weekend last weekend you got to spend some time with friends and family and partied it up, maybe had a beer or two and just unwound.
Can you believe it’s September? School has started and I hope you’re having fun in college, because I know I’m having fun while not in college! Either way, we have quite a few games to pick from today, so lets not waste anymore time and lets just jump in right away!
One of the first games listed in this months gameinformer issue is called tropico 4. Now, to be honest, this is the first time hearing of this game for me, but obviously this is the fourth installment in this series, so I suppose that would mean there are fans out there somewhere. From the looks of this game, it seems like it’s a replica of the sims games, except you’re on an island with a volcano on it. To me, this doesn’t seem interesting, but for those of you who are into this kind of thing, September 16th is the day to look forward to!
One thing that did come about early this September is Call of Duty XP! Unfortunately, I missed it this year, but rumor has it, that there will be another next year, so make sure you get signed up for this one, because I know I sure will be!
Next up on our list today is Borderlands 2! Unfortunately I never picked up Borderlands, the first one, but whenever Borderlands 2 is set to release in 2012, you can count me in, because I will not miss this opportunity this time! Graphically, it looks like the last one did, it has a very artsy and creative feel to it, so for everyone who fell in love with that look in the first edition, you should prepare yourself for some more, because Borderlands 2 is right around the corner!
One more upcoming title that has touched the hearts of all Playstation 3 owners is Resistance 3! When the PS3 system originally launched, this was one of the only games out for it at the time, so everyone who jumped on the Sony train early on, have had their fair share of gameplay in the Resistance franchise. So for everyone who liked the previous installments, get out your pens and mark September 6th on your calendars!
As always, there are a couple sports titles being released in the near future. Now, I used to be a huge fan of the NHL games back in the day, but as time progressed, I have evolved into a first person shooter beast, so I don’t play as many sports titles anymore, but I do like to keep a couple on the shelf just encase I need to break out a party game once in a while. Other than that though, I really have no use for any sports titles, for the simple fact that I’m not really a hardcore sports fan. I don’t play fantasy football and I don’t watch any sports games religiously, so as far as sports games go, they just don’t tickle my fancy.
Last, but not least, we have Guild Wars 2. Now, if you’ve been gaming for any period of time, I’m sure that you have got your hands on some MMORPG game and if you’re anything like the rest of us, you couldn’t put it down for years. This being said, when I hear about a new MMORPG being released to the public, I get a little tingly feeling inside and just as the ring called to Froto in the Lord of the Rings, every new MMORPG game calls to me and it’s not easy to resist!
Apparently, Guild Wars 2 is focusing very heavily on their storyline, which should be super interesting to see, because I think it would be fairly difficult to fluidly work in a strong storyline into any MMORPG game, but let’s hope that Guild Wars 2 doesn’t let us down and maybe GW2 will take off and we can all play it together and live happily ever after.
This just about wraps up this fairy tale, so bring up a browser and start researching some of these games a little deeper while you wait for Octobers issue of Gameinformer to be released!
Black Ops – Nuketown – Free For All – Commentary – Get Good
Commentary number 7 has arrived! This one’s a short one and it’s just a few little tips to help you play free for all a little better.
For those of you who didn’t know, this weekend, Labor Day weekend, was double xp/nuketown 24/7 all weekend long! So if you didn’t get your gaming in this weekend, shame on you!
Anyway, I hope your weekend was awesome and that you had some fun with COD Black Ops and spent some time with your family as well!
You’ll see me next week with a game that I broke 150 kills in!
Being as it’s 2011, I decided it was about time to upgrade to an wireless optical mouse and wireless keyboard, so I ended up purchasing the Microsoft Wireless Desktop 3000 because package deals are always better!
As most of you already know, I try to avoid purchasing anything from Microsoft if I can help it, but when I went out to buy a keyboard and mouse, this looked like it was the best deal and so I figured, let me give Microsoft one last chance.
As far as the keyboard, it is a full qwerty keyboard with a number pad on the side and lots of extra shortcut buttons at the top and on the left side of the keyboard. Now, by no means is this a gaming keyboard, but for the average computer user, this has much more than they need, while at the same time, it isn’t overwhelming and it has a super easier plug-n-play setup, so anyone can use this.
Next is the mouse that came with this package deal. Now, me personally, I like having a bigger mouse, rather than a tiny little thing, so this mouse is perfect for me. I like the texture of it and with all the use I’ve had, I still haven’t had any problems of the wrong buttons being clicked by accident.
One complaint that I do have about the mouse is the scroll wheel. For some reason, in certain programs, instead of scrolling up when you scroll, it jumps up as if you had pressed the “page up” button on your keyboard. Other than that, everything else about this mouse works as it should.
As far as the complaint about the keyboard, when the batteries get low, it seems that the lower right hand corner of the keyboard “double taps” and presses multiple keys when you only pressed one. This only seems to happen when the batteries get low, so if you keep fresh batteries in it, you shouldn’t have any issues.
Overall, for the price, the Microsoft Wireless Desktop 3000 is a pretty good deal. I really don’t think that you will come across anything that’s better than this in the price range, so if you have a small budget for a new keyboard and mouse, this might be the way to go!
