Metal Gear...In HD? Part 1



You think he is cool now?
Just wait till he is naked.

The Metal Gear franchise is one of my favorite franchises (if not my favorite). So when I heard that Konami was bringing Metal Gear Solid 2, 3, and Peace Walker to PS3 and 360 in glorious HD I could not wait to get my hands on some of my favorite games again. Plus being a total trophy whore didn't hurt either since I love that each game comes with its own trophies and platinum's. Unfortunately I was not able to play as much as I would have like until recently, since I had been busy with looking for a job and what not.

Life Changes

Get your gems ready folks!

It finally happened everyone I am now the proud owner of Street Fighter X Tekken Special Edition on Playstation ...Also I now have been hired to a REAL job as well. So that means more time to game, blog, and PODCAST!!! See you all soon and I cannot wait to see where I go from here. Thanks to everyone for being so supportive and patient with me during this annoying time in my life.

Thanks to my amazing girlfriend for making me
some cake as well as milk and cookies, she is the best!

Just Throwing This Out There

In one of my many classes I am on the computer at school, one of my assinments was to make a magazine cover and ad on the back. I decided to theme it around my blog and what I have coming up.Let me know what you all think as well as my graphic design skill (or lack there of). Expect an MGS HD Collection post soon.



Upcoming Projects and The Legend Of Korra Impressions

Perfection doesn't come close to this level of amazing

Now that I have written up about Naruto and reviewed the game I am now ready to announce what I have coming up for the blog (or hopefully what I will be able to talk about).I have decided to sort of go HD Collection crazy with some of my new money I picked up The Jak and Daxter Collection as well as Silent Hill HD Collection. Before I start playing to much of those I will finally finish the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. As of now I have gone through MGS2 and am working through MGS3 now. I am not very far yet but this isn't about me rushing through these it is about me remembering classic games o my past. I love these HD Collections and can't wait for even more of my favorite series to be re-released. Right now I am looking forward to Devil May Cry (04/03/12) and Ratchet and Clank (EU:Spring & US:Fall) HD Collections.

Time to get to TV side of things today

When I am not playing game, I love watching Movies and TV. One of my favorite shows was Avatar the last airbender on Nick. Now after that abortion of a movie The Last Airbender the series is getting a redemtion with the new series The Legend of Korra. The Show takes place 70 years after Avatar ended and the world was at peace. Now there is a new avatar and her name is Korra she is a very feisty girl from the water tribe who is much different in many ways from Aang which is a good thing, but holds some qualities like him which keeps things nice. The show is really shaping up nicely, with the new location, charecter (new and old ones returning), amazing voice acting, and of course the gorgeous animation.

Now the show does not premier till April 14th, but thanks to all the fans at Korra Nation we all unlocked the first 2 episodes and can watch them online right now. Just click here to check everything out. The story to sum it up for anyone who has not been following the news is unlike the original show. Korra already had been going through trainning to be the avatar and has mastered Water, Earth, and Fire. So all she has left to learn is Air, this is a nice twist since we never really got to see what it takes to become an air bender. It also shows off the new local for the game which is now a much more advanced city and almost steam punk in many ways. Finally there is a new sport called Pro Bending and it is one of those things that are hard to describe and something you will have to see for yourself.

I would love to hear what you all think about the first 2 episodes and the new direction for this series. Please leave a comment below.

Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations Review

Get those jumpsuits readies fellow ninjas

I have written a bit about this game a bit leading up to its release. This ranged from my opinion on it and the series as a whole. I was not really sure what to expect with the latest iteration in a long running series that I really enjoy, since the demo seemed to change some parts the gameplay and story mode.

I am back so you better BELIEVE IT!!

 

No need to cry everyone

Sorry for the break I took there for a week and a half or so everybody. I ended up dog sitting for about 12 days and was able to spend a lot of time chipping away at my backlog. Talking about backlog I finally ended up beating Zelda Skyward Sword. It was a long hard journey playing the game and was a great experience overall. I might write about it some time later in the future, but I will be busy the next couple of weeks playing Street Fighter X Tekken and practicing for tournament play. I also have been dabbling in trophy hunting and playing through the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. So far I have played through MGS2 and just started playing a bit of MGS3, while coming back to Peace Walker to check out  Multiplayer.


I'm on FIIIYAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Time to get into the new stuff folks. I wasn't just dog sitting for nothing I did it to make money and boy did I! I ended up getting about $200 after putting some into savings. Right away I picked up a copy of Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations for PS3 and have a lot of interesting feelings about the game as a whole. If you read my impressions on the demo you will know that the game changes many things while retaining a lot of things fans like me love about the series. I have had the game about 24 hour as I write this and have gone though all of the story mode and unlocked all characters and assist characters. This is not a bad thing people just letting you know I spent my whole day grinding through this game. So expect a review hopefully by the end of the week at the latest. Have you played the full game yet? Did the demo turn you off from the game? Let me know in the comments below. Also damn it feels good to be back as well as a gangster.
