  • That’s it, I am officially a noob magnet in Modern Warfare 2
    By admin on February 20th, 2010 | No Comments Comments

    I guess my previous whining didn’t help much, I am more annoyed than ever. I now always end up on the losing team, always stuck with a bunch of noobs that do not seem to have an idea of how to play this game properly. All they do is rush out and get shot from all directions. Why do I deserve this? My winning ration was 1.35 yesterday and now I am struggling with a 1.31 because I have lost basically every game today, be it a real lost with noobs on my team or one of those annoying disconnects.

    But what annoys me the most is the fact that I am always the only one with a decent score, well most of the time. The rest of my team would just contribute points to the other team by dying. It really felt like its me against the other 13 players instead of 6 on 6. If my team was able to contribute a bit more towards winning I would have no problem losing, at least we tried and the game was fair. In my case it was just pure slaughter by the opposing team.

    Maybe I should just take a break and stop playing Modern Warfare 2 for a while. Let myself cool down a bit. Then again, what difference does that make? I will still be the only one, most of the time, with a positive kill / death ratio. What’s the point?

    I have never been so upset in my life over a game, never happened with the original Modern Warfare.

  • What I really hate about Modern Warfare 2
    By admin on February 18th, 2010 | 2 Comments2 Comments Comments


    This is getting ridiculous and I’m getting fed up with this whole scoring system. I’m not sure if its just me or this happens to basically everyone that plays on PSN. The connection is pretty bad half the time, I constantly get disconnected from games and games that always need to find new hosts. All that I can ignore but I don’t like the fact that it counts as a lost.

    I can understand if the player leaves the game by actually selecting the option in the menu, that is considered a lost. But why on earth would you treat that the same when the game ends prematurely? I’m sure the developers should be able to code the game in such a way that it can differentiate between a user leaving the game by choosing the option and a game that just died due to bad connections.

    I don’t want to sound like a stats whore but I find it uber unfair that my score is messed up because of this stupid system. And also the fact that I seem to attract noobs to fight along side with me makes the situation (my score) even worse.

    Ok I’m done venting….

  • StarCraft 2 will be released on May 31st
    By admin on February 11th, 2010 | 1 Comment1 Comment Comments


    While browsing the online flyers of Futureshop and Best Buy. Nothing surprising in the Futureshop one, but I accidentally found out about the fact that StarCraft 2, our long awaited strategy game will be released on May 31st of this year. Well, at least based on the Best Buy listing . Maybe the date was released somewhere before but I’ve just checked Gametrailers and it said Q4 of 2010. I think May will be Q2 of 2010, so let’s see which one is more accurate. Obviously we all want May as oppose to near the end of the year.

    Its been eternity since the original StarCraft came out, that was when I was in grade 10 I think. The time when we were still using 56k modems and got dropped out of mutiplayer games. Ahhh good times.

  • Aliens vs Predator – After watching this co-op survivor mode, I’m sold!
    By admin on January 30th, 2010 | No Comments Comments

    This survivor mode is going to keep me going and heart pumping for months to come once i get my sweaty hands on it. I wonder if you can only play this mode as humans only as you fight Alien swamps. It sounds weird to fight off a swamp of Predators. Fighting unlimited swamps of humans makes sense though and sounds fun!

    Ahh the way the Aliens scream just makes this game 100 times scarier. I’m sold! First day buy!

  • Aliens vs Predator – Another must buy game in Feburary?
    By admin on January 29th, 2010 | No Comments Comments

    aliens vs predator

    I’ve always wanted to play the original Aliens vs Predator but never, ever got a chance to. I think this time I won’t miss it, I can’t. Not after watching all these promising trailers. I have a strong feeling that this game is going to be worth it. I was right about not getting Dark Void, didn’t even bother trying the demo and I was right. The review from GameTrailers said it all.

    Well, why do I think this game is worth buying the very first day? The fact that it has a mix of sci-fi, survival horror and first person shooter is more than enough to convince me. Much like Dead Space, another great sci-fi x survival horror x FPS game. Only this time, instead of playing as human only, you get to play Alien or the Predator as well! I’ve always thought Predator was cool and I still think it (he?) is with its feel-so-over-powering cloaking ability. Sort of the uglier version of Snake from Metal Gear Solid. Well maybe just the stealth part.

    aliens vs predator

    Alien on the other hand, is for those who are into quick and heavy melee attacks. I’m guessing the only range attacks are its tail jab and spitting poision from its inner mouth like the Hydralisk from Starcraft?

    And finally the human will be for the newbies or you are really a fan of yourself – human. I’m sure each side has its own strengths and weaknesses.

    I’m also excited about the single or co-op survival mode (the mode where you find endless waves of enemies), which I expected Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to have. Now finally I get to play this mode without having to buy Call of Duty: World at War. WHen this comes out, I wonder I will still be playing MW2 as much as I have been or will it finally be dethroned.

    Aliens vs Predators will be out 2 days after Valentine’s Day, Feb 16th 2010. Which side will you be on?

     

    And boy check out these crazy death moves!

  • Mass Effect 2 – Subject Zero, finally a character WITH character!
    By admin on January 11th, 2010 | 3 Comments3 Comments Comments

    Gametrailers has been releasing Mass Effect 2 narrative trailer for the characters for a while. All of them are impressive but this one in particular caught my eye and I just couldn’t stop watching over and over again. I’ve never seen such a character with such a unique and lively attitude! Subject Zero’s narrative trailer, dare I say, one of the best trailers / teasers I have evern seen to date. You can’t go wrong with ultra pissed off bald chick right?

    This game will be released on Jan 26, 2010, just a bit more than 2 weeks to go for all you Xbox owners!

    Sigh, sometimes I do wish I had an Xbox…..
