The Gamer

Old school games. I'm talking about PS2/xbox and back. And lately, I have been throwing it down on a favorite game of mine, Splinter Cell: Chaos theory. Now, Chaos Theory comes nowhere close to the original Splinter Cell in terms of genre defining, but i think it's my favorite. There is something addicting about sneaking around in the dark coming up behind people and choosing to knock them out or follow closely behind just be cause you can. It is the Splinter Cell game refined to. It also is probably one of the hardest games I have ever played. I have been using a walkthrough lately to get the most out of the game and I have found a walkthrough a much more enjoyable way of playing the game. It really allows you to bring out the real Sam Fisher. Some might say that is cheating, or give me flack for not playing the game how its supposed to be played. But honestly I want to enjoy the game. It is so much more enjoyable if you know what you are doing as opposed to blindly walking around. With the newest Splinter Cell coming out, I am very excited to see how the story will unfold. Many have said it is a slap in the face to original Splinter Cell. While maybe having a legitimate point, I think this is where the franchise needs to go. Sam with no rules sounds like a game I want to play.

Ok, so Mass effect 2 is coming out in 6 days, and I cannot explain to you how excited i am for this game. From the videos I have watched on gametrailers.com, this game could very well clinch game of the year. Now I know what I just said, and I know how early it is. But if you have played the first one, which for anyone reading this, they better have, the second one tops it in ALL areas.I will post the video of the new classes and you will see WHY i am so freakin excited. I will be reviewing this game hopefully pretty soon after it comes out.

Fanboys. No, I am not talking about the grammar device used to separate thoughts. For those of you who do not know what fanboys are, I will introduce you to them.


This comment was posted on Gametrailers.com in response to someone asking why a game was a Xbox exclusive 


"because ps3 cant handle good graphics, it would run 320x240 on ps3 at best. ps3 gpu is just 2 gen old geforce mx2"


This next comment was posted on the same site to counter someone saying that of all things, fan boys are annoying


ilis said: i'm sorry at what point did you conclude that the 360 fanboys are more mature ? i'll tell ya a secret...but don't tell ok ? Do you want to know why ps3 games that are MULTIplatform are so shitty ? because of the 360...yes. Don't spam yet, i haven't finished... it's because 360 doesn't have a blu-ray...and hd-dvd is not existent anymore. And the 360core does not have a hard drive. So you have to build all the games to run off of a Dual Layer DVD completely with minimum compresion... so you can't really extend your content. And so you have to limit the ps3 game as well... if you compare xbox exclusives to ps3 exclusives you'll see a major difference in quality. Those are the facts not some fanboy stuff made up. Also in US maybe xbox live is better, i don't know, i live in Europe and both the xbox and ps3 go just fine in multiplayer without waiting or lag (yes i do have both consoles). But PS3 has so much more untapped potential because of the limiting capabilities of the 360. And then you have the price. While ps3 with 120gb is 300 dollars, the 360 Core is 200 dollars and for that you get...well...a consoles and that's it. You want rechargeable controller ? Buy the recharging kit...but it's free for ps3... you want HDD ? Buy it . You want blu-ray ? Not possible, buy separate player. You want multiplayer (as if you haven't already bought the console, game, paying the internet connection) pay for it. So down the road, xbox is bottomline expensive compared to the ps3, and has already reached its limits... Flame me all you want with that thumbs down thingie but the facts still remain


This was said about a game to incite comments

So much hatred for someone who prefers a SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SYSTEM


If you have not figured it out yet, fanboys are people who would rather get punched in the genitals then buy a different console. SERIOUSLY PEOPLE? THE REASON THERE ARE THREE CONSOLES IS BECAUSE THREE COMPANIES WANT IN ON THE CASH. There is NO possible way to convince me that either system is better. Each has its own benefits and exclusives. If I had the money I would own all three systems. I will be the first to say that i PREFER Xbox, key word there PREFER. I would gladly take an PS3 and play still. Those who refuse to give into the other system I ask you, why not? There are always going to be exclusives for each system, and they are going to cater to different gamers. For the rest of time, people are always going to prefer some games to others, which will in turn make one system more attractive. So stop your mindless arguing and hatred and embrace the fact that we gamers already have a negative picture placed on us which the obsessive arguing is not helping. If we were to gel together as a community, how games could get better. SO SHUT THE HELL UP FANBOYS, AND REALIZE THAT YOUR OPINION IS JUST THAT, AN OPINION. SHOVING YOUR OPINION A FORUM JUST TO GENERATE ARGUING IS SO IMMATURE. LET'S TRY TO ACT LIKE GROWNUPS, OK?
