Xbox 360 New Dashboard

I rarely play Xbox, but I love their new dashboard that will be updated in just a few hours! This might actually make me even play it again.

A little bit about the dashboard it is a completely new design that is way more futuristic then it's previous, and it is all integrated with the Kinect, this means you can use your body and voice to find something on your Xbox or to play something too. The design is 1st off gorgeous and extremely sophisticated! It is categories with a clean light rollover, the pages are set up in a new box format to actually mimic the Windows phone and they have a ton of new features as well. Having Microsoft's search allows you to search through Xbox a lot faster than looking for it.

The main thing that Xbox is trying to introduce to their gamer's seems to be mainly social and video. On the categories list they seem to have Bing, Home, Social, Video, and then comes Games. The reason why they did this I really don't know, but I think it was an extremely good idea to do it this way. My reason is because there is a lot of gamers that don't just like to play games, they love television, music, trolling on social networks, all that good stuff!

Although this update didn't come with Hulu and YouTube yet it still seems to be damn near perfect! And the wait for the Hulu and YouTube isn't even that long of a wait it comes a week from today; so calm your boobies people it will be here shortly!

Awesome update! The Last of Us

I know like an hour ago I posted that video well it seems as if the ant video has a lot more to do with this then the riot video. I will also post the ant video on the last blog as well.

Ok we still don't have any information, but we do have a brain blast! The ant video in the other blog is actually a video about cordyceps which is a fungus that get's inside insects bodies and attacks them from the inside out. Well one cool/sucky thing about the cordyceps is that it has the ability of mind control, YES MIND CONTROL!!! Now what does that mean for this game who knows. Maybe it is about the human race become a victim of the fungi and slowly taking control over the human race.


Now the ant video isn't intense until you see this video here, I do advise you that it is kinda gross so man up buttercup!

PS Vita Memory Cards

In the beginning of the month Sony pissed off a lot of fans by saying that they were going to have their own memory card in the PS Vita. Well when gamers started to realize that they won't be able to buy extra memory cards to boost up their memory they got extremely upset, so Sony explained their reasons and I hugely agree with them!

They wanted every one to have a fair handheld, no one was really different. I understand that the main reason why they did this is because they wanted to limit their product. Not only that but when we heard that they are letting you take almost all your information from the PS3 they had to make sure that it was Sony copyright or it wouldn't probably run properly on the handheld. Since other memory card companies have different sizes and speeds they didn't want someones Vita run faster than the others because they some new type of card it. That wouldn't be fair to the other consumer that couldn't either afford another memory card or who couldn't get their hands on that type of hardware.

Since the previous PSPs were plagued with hacks and viruses, they are trying to limit that from happening, which is impossible. Another reason why gamers shouldn't bitch and moan is because patches, updates, game data, downloadable content, and many more will be available because the PS Vita card instead. So gamers it isn't all so bad, if your main issue is hacks don't worry that will be possible once again. I give a week of it's release before we find a way to get into the insides of the handheld.

"Move along, move along."

ADULTS ONLY!

Porn App for the PS3? Really?...Well it is Kinda Cool! Is this necessary?

Well yes, it kinda is. Many people have computers so they can access the internet and the naughty websites as well. It is sort of necessary for PS3 to have this app because we can't lie porn is a hugggee, no pun intended, industry in America. Now for the children that own PS3, need should have their parents censor their console regardless, but we all know that children/teens have wondering eyes and sweaty fingers ready for the clicking.

The name of the service is ... just look it up on Google if you really want to know about it. I am not going to disclose that information because, well, umm...oh what the hell?!? The name is SugarDVD and yes I have seen it and it is extremely sophisticated site that runs extremely smooth on the console. YouTube actually doesn't run that smoothly lol. Anyway I will not include the details of the app because I don't want any children out looking at the naughty naughty just yet.

Parents out there please understand what your children are playing, watching, and listening to. I know some parents don't care if they do certain things, but this is a app for ADULTS ONLY!!!!! Now if you just don't give a damn then go for it let them watch whatever they want, but for those who actually care and advise their child's console then either look at the site yourself and block it from the system. It is a simple block.

Remember kids ADULTS ONLY and if you don't care and want to rebel then fudge it!

The Last of Us

Now I really don't have much to say about this game, because there isn't much on it yet, but they have an extremely intense video. The video consist of various amounts of footage such as; riots and tragedies. Video Game Awards is just one week away and that is when the game will be debuted (hopefully).

If I had to take a guess of what the game could be about I would probably base it off the title by saying it is going to be another post-apocolyptic game. On their website, http://www.lastofus.com/ (Click the link if you would like to see the ant video),  it shows another video, but it's just an ant walking on a plant, meaning behind it all who knows. It has a date under the video as well dated 12/7/11. This could mean a ton of things, like another trailer, more info on the game, or even a brief idea of the game. So far the most information that is release about the game is that it is going to be a PS3 exclusive.

Ok I am going to stop talking and let you guys take a look at the teaser trailer. Enjoy and let us know if any of you guys have anymore information about this game.

YOTG "Year of the Games"

Many people probably know that games have been making a killing this year by release after release, after rerelease! So why all this extreme rush of games for the holidays? What were all these competitors in the gaming industries thinking? Let's see if we could crack their brains shall we.

Let's start with shooters only top 3; Gears of War 3, Battlefield 3, and Modern Warfare 3. As you all can tell this is also the year of the "3". 

Epic Games created Gears of War 3 to end the extremely popular franchise, this was considered one of the most anticipated games of 2011. On the date of September 20th, 2011 shelves got rushed by loyal fans, hype beast, and people who wanted to see what all the hype was about. Cliff Bleszinski, design director of Epic Games, made this game to be the most bloody-gory games anticipated for years to come. By getting 5 out of 5s and 10 out of 10s before the game was even out to begin with was saying a lot for this huge blockbuster!

Continuing with Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3, there is a reason why I put these two games together. One Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 3, franchise is considered the most selling shooter of all time, actually most selling piece of media of all time. Battlefield 3 on the other hand took a leap with intense graphics and gameplay. Using that sweet finish of Frostbite 2 made the game look like it exactly happening as a movie. These games are neck and neck with gameplay and fans. Money-wise MW3 is taking the title, but let's stay with gameplay shall we. MW3 has some of the best online community in gaming currently, although it isn't as smooth running for some of the loyal fans for the franchise it still gets them by. B3 kills it with their insane graphics staying true when playing online as well. The gameplay online is a little slower than MW3, but managing their own style is why I have so much respect for Electric Arts with B3. So who would win to you guys with stealing the title for Game of the Year?

A few superhero games followed the trend of releasing in Fall 2011. Batman: Arkham City and Spiderman: Edge of Time; just leave this short and sweet Batman awesome Spiderman not so much. Batman: Arkham Asylum was amazing and it's sequel was highly anticipated when announced pretty much after the 1st one was complete. Spiderman on the other was a complete joke! I personally haven't played it but the way it was going it didn't sound that cool in the 1st place. I don't want to get into all of that right now.


So overall not all games that were released were good. It was quite few bad seeds in this falls releasing of games. Keep playing my friends! 

Minecraft on iOS?!?

Have my dreams come true?


Yes they sure have, I can finally have Minecraft anywhere I go now...take that Xperia!!!! iOS 5 released Minecraft on November 17th. With a slightly steep price for a mobile device or iPad tablet, stepping at $6.99, it is actually a worth the price. If you Minecraft lovers played the beta and alpha then you would like the fact that you can have the complete version of the game for your iPhone and/or iPad.

The games release on the iOS platform was just in time for MineCon, a convention held in Las Vegas, Nevada for MineCraft lovers all around the world! Starting as a PC game that everyone instantly fell in love with, moving to a mobile platform, and is going to be released on Xbox Live Arcade quarter 1 of 2012. This is a huge step for developer company, Mojang.

Although, Android Market got Minecraft 1st, because of Xperia Play, this game would be completely compatible with iOS 4.3 or higher, so yes you can play this on any generation of iPhone and iPad. Many people that are using iPhones are extremely ecstatic for this release that happened a few days ago, including myself. Since it's release I have been draining my battery on my phone because of constant playing.

The game was all scripted with Java and ran beautifully on a PC, but since the new release on iOS they had to go a different route with coding their game. C++ is the next, extremely complicated, best thing. They had to make the transition to a new coding language because Java doesn't work with iOS.
