There you go, long enough? How was everyone else's weekends?

Sunday news opinions

I didn't do the news last night, because my house was filled with people, so there's a lot today.


Mercenaries 2 reviews:
• IGN
• 1up
• UGO
• Gameplayer
• EvilAvatar


More Jonathan Coulton coming to Rock Band: This makes me really happy. ^_^

Ryan Payton on western vs Japanese development: Interesting read, I dunno how much I agree with it.

The man behind Bioshock talks about his childhood and life: It's sad how much people that are 'not normal' are made fun of. I often feel like a idiot just because I like games.

Mercenaries 2: World In Flames released!: Finally! I will have to try it, and soon.

Resistance 2: Collector's Edition details announced: Not bad, but not a buy from me.

Left 4 Dead Ps3 talk: Lazy developers.... *pfft*

An article on the 'megatrends' of the gaming industry: I didn't read it, but if it's what I think it is, interesting.

Halo Wars not playable at PAX: Does anyone else think this game just doesn't really look great?

Games are getting easier, to get more sales: It's funny that the hard games of today, are easy compared to many games of yesteryear.

Bionic Commando comparisons: Though the new one looks beautiful, it did lose some of the style the original had. Nevertheless, I would love to see more of these remakes.

USB Heated gloves: I don't know weather to find this really sad, or awesome.

Spore leaked: Doesn't this always happen these days...

PAX LittleBigPlanet gameplay footage: For those who simply cannot get enough.

Will Microsoft copy LittleBigPlanet?: I would hope not. Do something new.

MMORPG 'Hello Kitty Online' trailer: I laughed. A lot.

Nintendo looks forward to Miyamoto's next game: If you ask me, if his next game isn't a hardcore game, he should be removed. Nintendo has done over the last few years, the most to destroy what I love about gaming, ever.

RUMOR: Kingdom Hearts III to be shown at Tokyo Gaming Show: I doubt it will be more then a trailer if it's true. After all, one man (Normura) can only do so much, and isn't he working on like 4+ games at the moment?

Final Fantasy XIII influenced by terrorism, immigration and more: Interesting, though I suppose it might give it more real world feelings, and ideas.

Left 4 Dead to contain no cutscenes: Bleh, my interest just dropped quite a bit.

Top 10 worst fighting games: I smiled at the title, but didn't watch it.

PC Gaming is still going downhill: Didn't read the full article, but I liked the summary.

How will Microsoft respond to Home: Hopefully by doing something completely different and original. Not making a crappy knock off.

Resistance 2: Collector's Edition preorders sell like crazy: That's pretty awesome. :) Go Insomniac.

Hideo Kojima feels responsibility to make 'hardcore' games: I'm glad not everyone has lost their senses.

Timesplitters 4 to use new engine, not the Haze engine: Completely unsurprising.

PAX inFAMOUS live demo: inFAMOUS should really be getting more press, it looks great.

More LittleBigPlanet videos from PAX: More for those who love the Sackboy.

Unreal Rocket-Launcher PC-Mod: Skilled. That's all I can say.


And there you have it. :)

Sunday night news opinion wrap up

Another day passes, and another small set of news goes by.


PSN scheduled maintenance, prepping for Home?: People are guessing the next scheduled downtime for the Playstation Network, will be sony prepping it for Home, or Life with Playstation.

RUMOR: Gearbox making Halo 4 for Microsoft's next console: I would hope this isn't true, Gearbox would do a terrible job... Well, I guess I will keep my fingers crossed, hoping it's not true. I also think that the Halo series shouldn't continue... Halo 3 ended it, right?

PS3 *does* have exclusives: Proof that the "PS3 HAS GAMES"


There you have it, I'm gonna party for the rest of the night, then try to make it through the slow day that is tomorrow.

A surprising second haul for sunday news opinions

Wow, for a weekend, there are a lot of news stories...


RUMOR: $200 Xbox 36o with motion sensing controller: I can see this happening, however I think it's a terrible idea. It will have a bunch of crappy games come out, and then become an unpopular thing, and probably be mostly ignored by gaming culture.

Final Fantasy XIII: Agito screens (PSP): Square-Enix is certainly showing some PSP love, first with Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, now we will be getting Disidia: Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, and 3rd Birthday, and now this. If nothing else, Square has found a good platform for their games.

Runescape HD finally open: I laughed.

10 Changes Metal Gear Online needs to stay alive: I sorta agree with this list, but I think there are other things it needs...

Piracy, Piracy, Piracy... More reasons to laugh at those who try to justify it: *Sigh* It's so sad that people still try to justify piracy to others.

Gaming now more popular then Porn: This I really can't believe... Wow...

Will the name "Halo" still be popular after Gears 2, Resistance 2, and Killzone 2 come out?: I dunno, I think it's sort of a legend now. No one will forget Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Fox, Final Fight, ect. Just because other games come around, I don't think people will forget about Halo.

Companies make more money off of a lot of crappy games, then a few good ones: The sad truth that you companies care more about themselves then you. :(

Sony's big week, can they deliver?: Sony has promised a lot this week, you think they can deliver? Personally, I suppose the Warhawk expansion pack will come out, and possibly Life with Playstation, though, the Home beta may be delayed yet again...


Wow, that was a lot of news for a sunday. What a day. I'm so beat. Car troubles suck.

Sunday afternoon news opinions

The weekend is almost over.. Just another day. In fact, I can't wait till wednesday... Anyways, here's the news:


What could kill Mirror's Edge: A person talks about what problems could potentially kill the game, Mirror's Edge. I dunno, if it's fun to play, that's what matters, right? I was always waiting on reviews for this one, because it looks so chancy, so, I guess I'll just keep waiting.

Interview with Hideo Kojima: Like the link says, an interview with the genius behind Metal Gear. It's interesting to see him talk about other games.

Killzone 2 goes beyond any online game: Again, it sounds like the multiplayer in this game will be amazing, I just hope the single player is as good as the first two games... And *SPILT SCREEN*

Mirror's Edge not a timed exclusive after all: Yup, not really too surprising, it still looks great however.

5 Games that will own Xbox Live: I dunno, I don't see Lord of the Rings: Conquest, or Left 4 Dead making any dent or being any competition with Call of Duty 4, or Halo 3....


Soon the weekend will be over, and more gaming news will be coming your way. :)
