Sunday Podcast

The Sunday Podcast Is Up!
Alex Adam and Kevin get together to discuss the new movie Twilight and whether it does the book justice. They also talk over some games and projects.

Guardia Angels

Guardia Angels is gone!? Nope, just thought I would let everyone know that there is a legit reason why Guardia Angels has slown down. So yay be patient! :D

Horror Game Spaz Out!

Condemned 2:
Kevin has been playing this game and due to it being extremely short but completely frustrating at times, he is almost done with the game. And with the risk of JTV jerking around the with archives, yall should definitely join in on the mayhem. Whether it's me scaring Kevo or the game itself. Being apart of this experience is something you can't possibly miss!
We will do our best to retrieve all the highlights of the events and everything played afterwards. But the game isn't finished yet, so come watch NAWK tonight!

Bioshock:
I've been playing bioshock for the first time ever since Kevo brought it down for me to joing in on the aqua world of fear! Let me begin with, this game is twisted as shit! I've played barely half an hour of the game and my skin hasn't stopped crawling. Everything about this game is what I expected and more! It feels almost RPG style with the upgrading system for your character and recruiting bots from enemies to allies. Also at the same time I feel like it's a condemned fighting system despite it clearly not being condemned style, it still feels similar with crazys running around. But these crazys are WAY more crazy and wild.
This game is amazing and I can only hope that I finish it before Kevo takes it back to college to return it to his friend. If he does, then I'm sorry but I'm going to have to add this to my list for the big man in red this christmas!

JTV FAILURE!!!

Thanks to JTV and their amazing ability to accurately record events performed on their webpage. We were preparing to save the clip with Kevin experiencing the Condemned 2 Bear for the first time. However JTV has lost all records of the chase. We got everything else. But everything involving Kevin and the Bear is lost to the ages.

HAPPY BIRD DAY!!!

Thanksgiving is a time that brings one and all together.
It's a time where we can all sit around the table and be grateful to our fellow man.
The great holiday of the pilgrims feasting with the native americans.
Which resulted in us enslaving and killing off the indians for their generosity.
Along with us taking over their land and enslaving anyone remotely different from white.
So enjoy your bird!
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Now begone, I'm bout to go eat me a drumstick!

Return of the Dark Knight!

So it's no surprise to anyone that knows me or has been around long enough in the chat room to bring up Batman. But I am a huge supporter and fan of the batman franchise! However, I can't say that entirely, allow me to rephrase, I am a huge supporter and fan of batman franchise, that does the dark knight justice!

Here's the deal, I loved The Dark Knight and so did millions others. I am completely stoked that this is bringing more people into the life and times of the shaded hero of DC. Ever since Batman the Animated Series and even back when Batman (Micheal Keaton) was still new! Get ready, here's a lil insight to my life. My childhood with my father was highly composed of watching batman and playing with the batman figures! But besides that, the storyline in its self was the beginning of every vengeance hero story that there is today! Bruce Wayne lost his parents as a child and devoted his life to stopping the criminals and avoiding guns and killing the criminals to avoid becoming what he hated. That alone is a great story in its self! But Bob Kane (God rest the king!) decided to create many twisted villains that weren't all super powered but all created in just to toy with Waynes emotions. Everything from the insane unrelenting laugh of the Joker to the brute omega strength power house Bayne. Batman had and still has it all!
Where I don't believe Batman Forever or Batman and Robin did the character justice, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight defintely brought batman back from the depths of poor directing skills.

Enough of that, allow me to introduce a trailer to the highly anticipated Arkham Asylum game! Expect me to keep close tabs on this games development! (PS Mark Hamill is reprising his role of the Joker, smart move!)

The Mirror's Edge theme-song music video!

Ah, for anyone who knows me they know one thing... I am fucking 100% addicted to Mirror's Edge, why? Read my review.

After that, watch this beautiful video... make sure it's in high-def though.

50 Cent 2!?

First off let me start this little preview with a following.... "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
and then follow it up with a "You've gotta be kidding me!"
It would appear that 50 Cent is returning for another game staring him and making him look like a "bad ass". Look, I don't know what he's been preaching with his backstory or lifes history to the public. But if you really grew up in a troubled past, make your movie, write you songs and if you want to be a little creative write a book! But for the love of god! Don't take up room on our consoles with a game that has unbeliveable events that couldn't possibly happen to make you look like a "super bad ass".
I saw the original game staring the steroid popping rapper, but lets get real, this game actually looks pretty good.
Allow me to explain, the game itself looks like an experience. But it also looks like something we have all seen before. Saints Row *cough *cough Grand Theft Auto *cough *cough, sorry I've got the "rip off" cough. Anywho, yeah it might not have you stealing vehicles but it clearly has the feel of mafias and trying to protect your reputation or whatever.
The only beef I really have with this game is that it's not staring a fake character, or maybe it is O_o. Now, if you saw Batman kicking ass then you would just go, well that's the dark knight for ya. But no, it's a person who wants to make miself into the next John Miclain!
Overall, I think this game looks like a joke. Graphically it looks fine, and maybe even fun. But I will never touch this game. It is a complete joke and as far as I'm concerned 50 Cent is a horrible rapper! Eminem is the only rapper in my book that has any talent. Maybe they should make a game staring the Real Slim Shady! Not this Lady! Ha, see I can rap to.... whatever.
Anyways here's the trailer to get the crazy fans or whatever excited... or you could just laugh like I did:

Tomb Raider: Underworld

some of you may know, ive been playing through the new Tomb Raider: Underworld, and being a hardcore TR fan ive probably almost completed it....but dont let that put you off.

in my opinion its not a short game if you do it fully, ive kind of run through it and knowing all of TR's tricks i know the crazy stuff coming up before it happens :P

Anyway, i have one word to describe this game; Sexymexy.

it plays sooo beautifully which i love in a game, it looks good, the conrtols are perfect, the story is oddly exiting and lara doesnt look so fake anymore!

this game is definatly worth getting, even rent it just to know how a good game looks 

WARNING: Tomb Raider: Underworld Contains Spiders, Incase Your Squimish Like Me...

Left 4 Dead REVIEW

(Oh, for funzies this was the earlier character designs for the 4 survivors)
LEFT 4 DEAD!!

So the game has been out for a while, and I haven't had very much time to set it down to write a lil review about this fantastic game! This game is crazy scary and crazy fun! You will enjoy playing this game either by yourself or with the computers.
Even though I have my moments where the cpu just can't seem to come to your aid when you really need them. But on the plus side when you leave the cpu behind, you don't feel as guilty as if you left your friend behind.
So here's the plus stuff: You can play split screen with online peeps! Which I think is cool, I have never had a problem with split screens. This just gives the cheep people a chance to have fun playing with their friends even if they don't have xbox live, all you need is a friend to play with ya and your set!
Now for the con stuff: I honestly for the life of me can't stand it when I play with new people who don't even know how to fire the damn gun! It's not a big deal when I play with friends because if they suck it's still fun. But when I've got someone trying to remember how to reload and another person who hides in the corner thinking that if they stay quiet the zombies will just eat their friends and they can sneak by. Ugh, but basically those are my only problems as most games have, but that's not the games fault. The game itself has no flaws if i missed them, then they are very discreate. But one thing I would have enjoyed was maybe outfit changes or even more weapons just to make it somewhat different eh? The game can feel kind of repetitive with the same weapons and people. But walk away for a day and come back, you will still be in love with this game.
This game is a definite buy, no doubt about it!

10/10

LotR: Conquest

Lord of the Rings: Conquest

Alright so I am not sure about everybody else but I was a little late on getting the Starwars Battlefront games but when I got to play the second one I was surprised on how much fun I had with it. Sadly at this time I didn't have online capabilities for the game but I still had fun playing with my friends split screen. So when I heard news that the creators behind that were working on a new game I was pretty excited untill I heard it was based off of the Lord of the Ring, then.... lets just say I was very happy. So it looks like you can countrol one of four types of guys: a soldier, an archer, a scout, and a mage. On top of these four classes you can control mounts, seige weapons, and even some bad ass heroes and villains, like the witch king or Gandalf. In Campaign mode you are able to play the typical good guys or you can spice things up and be totally evil. But seriously I really don't care too much about the campaign, I am just excited for the multiplayer. So yeah the game has been pushed back to January 2009 and that is kind of a downer but you gotta do what you gotta do. And I swear to god if you are able to ride the witch king's dragon, I will have an orgasm.

JTV PROBS!

So until JTV fixes whatever problems they are having, I wont be broadcasting. Hopefully they get everything working by the 18th! I would love to broadcast L4D on its debut day.

Max Payne : The Movie

Wooo, its out and for some reason i still havent seen it.... Meh ill be sure to go during the week
anyways, Mark Wahlberg plays the New York cop, whos wife and daughter were murdered. then he goes out for revenge as most characters like this do. Fans of the game series would know the story line and i hope they arent dissapointed by the movie adaptation of the game.
For some reason Ludacris is in it but hes actually a pretty good actor as ive seen in previous films.
im sure it'll make for a good watch, especially scenes with the Valkyr drug...if you've played the games you'll know what im on about.
CHECK IT OUT NOOOOW XD

Mirror's Edge review.

Wow. After around 2-4 days after beating Mirror's Edge I'm gonna write this review (yeah, I know I'm late) so let me just get this out of the way. Mirror's Edge is NOT and I repeat NOT a fucking FPS, don't call it one as it isn't fair to call it such.
But onto the review.

Now the story is pretty simple, your Faith a 'Runner' which is pretty much a person who uses their athletic to transport secret documents, files anything of the sort in a world controlled by the goverment. A crime has now been commited and you we're at the scene, time to do the number one thing you learned. Run.
See, simple. It's not the best story ever but I've seen much, much worse. Plus, it gets bigger and better.

Now onto graphics, I just gotta say if you like awesome graphics in games, this game will not disappoint you, period. The graphics in some places might be overused a bit (such as in some parts the white buildings are WAY too bright or sometimes it's too dark to see anything) but if you can get used to some of the graphics error's, they are beautiful.

Ok, sound time. I don't even need to get into detail do I? The sound in this game soundtrack wise is beautiful and new. Something rare in the gaming world. If you haven't heard the soundtrack, watch some gameplay videos and do some looking around. You'll find a ton of remixes of the song "Still Alive"(NO, NOT JOHNATHON COLTON'S STILL ALIVE) by the very talented, Lisa Miskovsky as well as remixes from Alcorus, Paul van Dyk and other popular international artists. Now I will say that the gun sounds might sound like they've been used from other games but oh well, they don't sound that bad.

Gameplay time guys.
Now this game is so much fun gameplay wise, somethings might annoy you due to LOTS of trial & error in the game, a sometimes over the top challenge for some of the achievements and trophy's in the game but if you can get used to those things, you'll have a great time. As well as the time trial modes and speed-run modes being a hell of a time due to being able to try and beat that one friends time being oh so satisfying.

Overall scores.
Story 7.5/10
Graphics - 8.5/10.
Sound 10/10
Gameplay 9/10

Now for my rating on what you should do if you find a copy of this game, I say rent it first to see if you like it, and if you like it. Think about buying it as it's a great addition to to your gaming collection.

Thanks for reading!

Mortal Online

So yeah a while back I saw the teaser for this game and I became interested enough to check it out. Now this game is still being developed so all the things I am talking about is potential and hopefully the game will finish and everything will be implemented that they have talked about. The game from what I have to come to understand is basically Elder Scrolls: Oblivion online. It is in the first person perspective and basically you go around and do whatever the hell you want. You see a player in the forest and you want his armor, well just kill him and take it. You want to go around and explore the world well have fun with that, or you can get a clan together and take over a city. The game boasts of an open world pvp system where you can kill anybody anywhere but there will be consequences if you kill them in a city or something along those lines. Also unlike most typical mmorpgs today it is going off of a skill base system instead of a level system. Its where you train your skills your self by either doing it a lot or reading about it. So that is pretty awesome so far but they want to actually add player interaction into the big picture, like I've already said you can take over a region with a guild and if you kill a mythical beast its not going to respawn after a few days... its dead and thats that. So being a fan of pvp, oblivion, and wanting something new out of the rpg genre I can not wait for the game to come out or at least the beta. So yeah right now I am kind of being an idiot and am too lazy to actually figure the whole video thing out because I am having some problems so check out the teaser at the website (mortalonline.com).

Gears 2

Hey Kevin here just letting you guys know I am going to be trying to blog nowadays. You know helping my bro out so the blog should be updated more than ever. :)
So I don't know about any of you guys but, after playing the first Gears of War (and doing some research to figure out what the hell happened)I couldn't wait for the second one to come out. I first started to play the campaign but as soon as I got online and did some wingman and horde with my friends, I wasn't able to get back on to the campaign till after like two weeks of online fun.

The campaign was deffinetly better than the first one and the questions and answers it left me with just made me excited for the third one to come out. So the campaign is good but the online game has been the one big thing making me come back to the game. Wingman is an online match where five teams of 2 go against each other and if your teamed with a stranger it kind of sucks and but with a friend it was one of the most fun experiences online I have had. Horde is basically waves of npcs attacking a team of 5 players and after each wave it gets harder. Its a fun experience and after having to face players all the time it is a nice break. So if you liked the first one deffinetly get this game and if you haven't give it a try.

Hey :)

hey peeps, karina here. just letting you know im going to be helping poor little alex with his blogging as he struggles with it these days :P
im just kidding, alex rules

Anyway, for those big fans of the series (such as myself) Tomb Raider: Underworld is out next week, 21st for me. Im sooo exited for this. Ive played the demo, seen the screenshots and watched the trailers. i have to say, this game looks as good as it plays.
Its Basically continuing on from Tomb Raider: Legend as we join Lara's quest to find some place...Avalon i think, some King Arthur shit. But yeah, coisidence her mum went missing in there bla bla bla i forgotten the story BUT i can garentee its going to make for some good playing :)

So yay, bye for now hahaha

Get WET

WET looked like the most interesting game to come out since Tomb Raider and BloodRayne. As far as starting a lady protagonist, this game stars Rubi, a problem fixer who is good at her job and ends up getting caught up in trouble after helping a rich man. She wants to get revenge and leaves plenty of bodies in her wake to do it.
Now this game and the trailer looked fantastic! However, it would appear that the people who were publishing it have canceled the project, cut and dry.
Why would they do such a thing? This game looks damn near finished and they just call it quits? It's a damn shame really, I hope they do finish this game and we see it on the shelves in 09!
Anyways, here are some pics to keep us all wanting WET to come to us real fast!

Batman vs Scorpion!!

For those that clearly don't understand that Batman is my favorite superhero and further more, those that don't know that Scorpion has been my favorite pick in the Mortal Kombat universe since it first came out. Then you wouldn't understand how much I really want this game!
A lot of people think this game looks dumb, or even don't like the thought of DC vs MK. However, I think this is gonna be a fantastic setup! DC has been known for having very mortal based characters who have their limits and don't have the most extreme of super powers or abilities. Where in my opinion Marvel has the most ridiculous array of heroes and villains. If it was Marvel vs MK then that would just be dumb.
Honestly I can't wait for this game to come out! Unfortunately I wont be able to get it right away, but when I get the green, I will get it.
Anyways, look for this game to hit the shelves the 16th!

False Advertisement Strikes Back

Go ahead, click on the picture to see what I'm talking about! The profile image is an attractive woman crouched in attack position! Now of course because it's JTV I wasn't expecting nudity or anything. But at least a gorgeous woman like the image advertised. But this is what we get, a middle aged Mexican listening to some Mexican music. He's bobbing his head around like it's a heavy metal concert, and you're just saying, good god what have I walked into. And there you have it, this man just got himself another view. That's how JTV is going with these people who cheat their way to the top....

L4D Demo

So the demo has been out for a while, but now its public starting tomorrow and Kevo is gonna be joining me in some of the online mayhem! So I'm probably gonna be playing that a lot tomorrow with him! Oh and Dawns Light is making progress as usual.
On another note, Kingdom Hearts 2 is gonna probably flood the channel. I've been craving some kingdom in my heart! :D

Alex Trinity Debut

Today is the Alex Trinity debut, so if you guys don't see me on NAWK i'm more than likely there. Check it out.

Sunday Podcast

The sunday podcast (solocast) has been posted up. Check it out peeps :)

Dodgeball Fundraiser!

So I just got back from the fundraiser! It was a lot of fun! We lost but it was a lot of fun! I'm hoping I can do it again next year! Anywho, L4D demo rules! I can't wait for the game to finally come out!

Alex Trinity

So looks like I'm apart of the newest fantastic event on Jtv! Me, and two other Alex's on Jtv will be broadcasting on a new channel called Alex Trinity. It should be a lot of fun, and from what I believe, it should be a good way to get all of us noticed very well in the networks.
Expect NAWK to show up a lot on this channel to help promote.

DAWNS LIGHT:
So much work as been done for the animation! It's looking great, I think anyways, and I'm more excited than anything to finish up the first episode! WOHOO

Kingdom Hearts

I have played and beaten this game. But now that it's being released for the ps2! I think I'm gonna have to buy it! Or at least my brother will and I can just borrow it from him.
WOHOO!!

PS: Missed Sunday Podcast, sorry guys. I'll put one up this coming Sunday. I've been working on projects and being all alone in NAWK it's a lot of work. :(

CRIPES!!!

Looks like i missed podcast sunday! ballz!! sorry guys ill do it monday! SORRY :(

Left 4 Dead Update

OH YEAH!!!! IM READY TO GET INFECTED!!!

Gackt

Listen to Gackt! He has some amazingly sick music! While I am unclear whether this guy is just enjoying cosplaying or dressing up in his videos and his performances, or is just straight up gay. It makes no difference to me. Music is music and his sounds amazing! (PS: Just found out that he is bisexual... sorta.. he likes girls more than guys but has dated guys before.... i don't get it oh well)
While I don't know the lyrics, just yet, once again it makes no difference to me. Listen/watch his performance on one of my favorite songs, "White Eyes"
