I got HALO 3 (regular edition)

"I would love to have one, I just don't have the $$$"

Just like the other million people I picked up the HALO 3. I used to be one of those hard-core collector who buys all the collector edition and toys. However, as I got older and wiser, reality has hit me hard with wallet. I can no longer afford extra cash require for collector’s stuff. I also kinda grow out of it.

Anyway, the game is great. I am scream like little girl while playing this game. Can’t wait to finish the fight ;)

HALO 3 Exclusive Contoller is UGLY!

I can't wait for to play HALO3 and finally finish the Fight.

This weekend I had chance to take a look at the HALO 3 exclusive Controller at one of retail store and I had confirm I suspicion.

"This controller is Fugly"

Is it just me? Todd McFarland's art is great and all but just look at that!

That is one ugly arts on that controller. Exclusive figure that comes with controller is nice and all but no where worth the price they are asking for.

King of Fighters.. Run!

Just something I found while browsing...
Cool.. isn't it?

Tabula Rasa.. too much.. no money

I am really interested in playing new MMORPG PC game "Tabula Rasa" but I just found out that It will cost me $14.99 per month.

That's $14.99 I can't afford to spend.

I guess I will keep playing Dungeon Runners for FREE (or $5.00 per month for premium content but that is still better than $14.99)

Wii global sales overtake 360

Although, I do play XBOX360 most, when I play with my friend, and espically with my wife, you really can't beat the Wii for FUN factor.

My adventure in Untold Legend Dark Kingdom PS3

So, I decide to try another PS3 game, “Untold Legend: Dark Kingdom”. I played PSP version of Untold Legend, I got pretty far, until my save got corrupted and I did not want to play from beginning again.

So Far, I am having little better time than I had with Genji.

Would I pay $60.00 for this game? No no no! I am having decent time playing this game but I am no where pissing pant like when I played Bio Shock demo. That’s the game that is worth $60.00. (only if I had $$$) This game’s graphic is not PS3 worthy.. to me it looks like I am playing B-C rated PC game and I do have pretty low standard compare to other gamers.


As I like my game easy, I choose easiest mode and selected Mage as my character. I read from Gamefaq.com that Mage is easiest character to beat the game with. Usually, I play as Warrior character but I guess I will try some magic.

Anyway, here is my fictional story as Mage in Untold Legend: Dark Kingdom,

My name is TigerHan and I excel in both Dark and Light Magic, sometime I mix little bit of both to create mix special..

Ok anyway, I am a new member of fabled Dragon’s Shade along with Scout(she hot) and Warrior(he dumb). Dragon’s Shade usually does not allow member that does not excel in weapon combat but I prove myself worthy before Commander, along with little bribe ;)

Along with Commander, Warrior and Scout(what does she scout anyway?), and elite soldiers, We were sent to stop the Barbarian Uprising. We soon arrived at small town where those barbarians are invading.
While I am getting used to my new staff, I found out that It shoots fire! Cool, I knew I got a good deal at shady magic shop. As I am killing barbarian left and right without mercy with my fire shooting magic staff, more and more of them attacked me. I finally defeated them I exited the town to chase after more barbarians.

By the way, where the hell is Commander, Scout and Warrior?

Right outside town gate, I found a few of barbarian just hanging around and I summoned my Fire magic to create big fire ball and hurl toward them. Crispy! One shot kill!

I am still going around killing barbarians and sometime they drop armor and stuff which I can use to better myself although I felt kinda dirty using used goods from dead barbarians. (I wonder if these stuffs are clean, after all if they are all clean all the time, they wouldn’t be barbarians)

As the battle’s getting harder, now they are throwing Axe at me and it hurts a lot. I am wondering where the hell Commander, Warrior, and Scout went. If they went ahead of me, I wouldn’t have to fight all these barbarians.. Hmm.. I hope they are not slacking off. Maybe they are testing me? I understand the test aspect. But, I suspect Warrior and Scout have things between them. It must be because she won't answer my phone call or letters.

Oh, there is girl from village getting attacked!
I rush to help her and after I beat the hell of those bastard barbarians, she thanks me by giving me a so called “Rune of Sensing” I tried to get her number but she told me she does not know what the phone is… I suspect she is lying. I think I saw brand new iphone in her skirt pocket.
It’s has to be my face… I know I am only 30 but my face looks of 70… It’s the price I had to pay for studying black magic. I should listen to my mother and stick to white magic….

Getting back to “Rune of Sensing” It show me where the enemies are so there is no surprise ambush. I guess it is good enough and she was ugly anyway. I hope barbarians come and steal her iphone x(



This group picture was taken with Commander's digital camera right after we killed all the Barbarians in the village. That's me in the center and to left is dumb Warrior and to right is pretty Scout. And other elite solders in the background.

Genji Days of the Blade PS3... played for 30 min

So, I have finally played and finished my first PS3 game, Resistance: Fall of Man, I was looking for my next challenge.

What I want to play is some Nintendo Wii game but until “Rayman Raving Rabbids” ,which I trade with Resistance online with someone, arrives in mail, I need something to hold me till then.

In stand of going back to XBOX360 games, I decide to pop in “Genji” for PS3 and play around little bit.
Hmm.. Graphic is ok, not too shabby, Story looks interesting.. and this being sequel to one on PS2, kinda make me want to that one also.
Add to that this game is suppose be Sony’s answer to Onimusha series which is one of my favorite video game series. (It’s one of a few series that I finished them all)

After about 30 min of playing with 2 different characters, here are my thought,
- Graphic is good and I like the story.
- Is it me or control is hard to get used to.
- Benkei, a giant club wielding monk, second character that I used, is slow as snail.
- I would not paid $60.00 for this game. (I got this one used for around $30)
- And last but not least, Camera, Camera and Camera… bad camera angel and It won’t let you change them.

I will get back to this game some other time in the future but I am going to play something else…

Resistance: Fall of Man PS3

I just finished the Resistance: Fall of Man for Playstation 3 over Labor Day weekend.

Great game! Not too long, not too short and best of all you can jump. Somehow when it comes to FPS, I like to jump.

Story is good enough to believe it can happen, if you believe alien can invade earth during WWII that is. I want to see battle takes place in Russia, US and other country in sequel.

Control was tight, however some time during the game, it will go forward or stop
automatically for couple of second even I am not using controller. It might be the game or just wireless signal messing me around.

Only thing I find annoying was the loading time between the level, large hard drive space and Blueray disc. It PS3!! What is loading time doing in my game?

Great Graphic, Not too easy, not too hard difficulty, tight control, and not too long not too short length, and most of all great fun. It’s not the game that will make me a PS3 believer but it’s best PS3 game I have play so far.

God of War 2

Upon returning from trip to New York, I really needed exorcise all the stress I got from driving for six hours plus work related stress.

So, I pop in the God of War 2 for Playstatino 2 and I went ape kaka-poo-poo. I took a dinner break and did some paper work for couple of hours, then got back to finish this hard-hard-hard game.

Come to think of it, I have not played PS2 games in…. I don’t even remember when last time I played PS2 was.

I been playing B-C titles for a while and just playing this game makes me shiver with joy. However, even on normal, game was hard enough for me to curse at the Kratos for repeat death.

Only disappointment was the ending… I was expecting for final big battle and then… to be continue.I hated it when Halo 2 pulled that stunt and now it seems more and more titles are using it as sorry excuse for not having great ending.

+1 point for my wife Jun looking at half-naked female character on the screen and saying “what the?” ,

Priceless…. ;)

End of Eragon, Beginning of God of War II

Finally, I finished the game Eragon. The game was not all that bad as what other people said, but it wasn’t that great either.

Anyway, I am happy to finish this game and move on to next challenge. By the way, I tried to rent the Blueray disc at the Blockbuster and it’s all rented out. They even had all the new release titles on Blueray but stinky Eragon that I want to watch is not. Such a irony.

I am going to finish the God of War 2 that I stopped playing a few months ago.

Eragon the Dragon pt.2

I finally got pass the stage where I had to play as Sephira the Dragon. I had to play on easy to get by…

Now I am back to playing on foot and kicking some ass. (on hard mode as I might add)

I am going to Blockbuster video and rent "Eragon" on blueray this weekend.

Eragon the Dragon

I been playing Eragon for XBOX360 that I got it for cheap price about a month ago. Even I did not watch the movie or read the book, I figure I will have decent fun and maybe collect some achievement point too.

Also, who does not like playing as Dragon?

I think I am about mid section of game and although, I am having somewhat fun playing as human character, I just do not like playing as Dragon. I know I suck at almost all flying or driving games but at least I do have fun in some of them. Is it me or Eragon is pain to control always bumping into the wall or tree and she gets hit far too easy.

And... It's female Dragon named Saphira...

I guess I will try to go back and play on normal or easy to finish the Dragon level quick.
I shall rent the movie soon as I am done playing this game. All the Reviews tell me movie is nothing special. However, I do love cheesy, nothing special kinda movie.

Getting back to reality...

It’s getting harder and harder to face the fact and accept the responsibility. We all must face reality sometime… sooner or later.

It’s such a hard reality we live in… we sometime create fantasy world to escape all the problems we are having. We indulge ourselves with such distraction that we seldom remember truth, fact and problem that we all must face in real world.

It’s hard, it’s very hard, it could seem like its almost impossible. However, we all must stand up and face what it is that we all must face. As I always tell my friend, “Sometime you must stand and take a shit like a man” I hope I can act on what I preach.

Games

I have been playing “Eragon for XBOX360”. Riding on Dragon was not all I expected. Somehow I like the game more when I am fighting on ground instead or using Dragon. (why do I suck at playing anything that has to do with flying and driving?... I have no sense of direction :-])

Advance Wars Dual Strike

This is the 10th game that I have finished this year!

Advance Wars Dual Strike for Nintendo DS.
This game was very very long but tons of fun and was very addicting

Here are some info;

Total Play Time: 33:25
Total # of Turns : 600
Total points earned: 11160

I wished I have enough time to finish other mode beside campaign mode, but I must move on...
or I will be playing this game till... forever!

R.I.P. PSP -- Page 1 of 5 -- . Gameworld Network.

Although, I do not agree with this article 100%, It is very interesting and give good argument. I don’t think PSP will die out so quickly. However, I do play with Nintendo DS more than PSP. PSP games are just too expansive and some of loading times are little too long for portable. I do have to admit PSP does look cooler than NDS… but NDS has better software and that’s what count for me.

Anyway, read and make your own choice;

More games...

I have finished 2 more games! This has to be the record!
I have not finished this much games since High School years.

Tomb Raider Legend for XBOX 360.

Playtime: 14:08:29
Complete 97% (didn’t bother to collect a few items at the end, it wasn’t worth it)
Start date: 6/21
End date: 7/3

This game was great. I have played all the previous Tomb Raider games and this one is the only one that I have played till end. Graphic is excellent, game play is smooth, and length was just about right. I just wish ending was little better as it left too many questions unanswered.

FarCry for PC

Start date: 5/30
End date: 7/3

I tried to get into the game before and somehow I couldn’t get past the first stage. I have finally decided to hold my ground and play this game. Graphic still looks great and game play is excellent also. Game was little too long as some of latter level felt like it was just dragging on and on. Let down ending did not help either. Also another nick-pick was the character looked as he was either short or he was crouching down all the time. It just felt like character I was playing was too close to ground… Maybe it’s just me? Anyway, I did enjoy the game and I do give very high point for different path you can take and freedom you have in this game.

3 more games that I have finished

I have finished more games than I could imagine.

First, I have completed “Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth II” for PC. I liked it better than first one (which I only played and beat the good side campaign). Graphic were outstanding and game was not too long nor not too short.

As for second, I have beaten “X-Men: The Official Game” for XBOX360. Believe it or not, this is my first XBO360 game I have finished. I wanted to find out what happen to X-Men during the time between 2nd and 3rd X-Men movie. This game explains why Nightcrawler is not in the 3rd movie and also the origin of Sentinel project. While game play and graphic is not the greatest on XBOX360, I did enjoy controlling Wolverine and Nightcrawler. However, playing as Iceman was kinda hard for me. Overall, I thought it was good and short but left little sour taste.

For last, I have just finished playing “Sin Episode 1: Emergence” for PC.
Graphic was great as it was using Half-Life 2 Source engine but somehow it wasn’t looking great as Half-Life 2. Maybe I got used to the graphic engine and there is no more brand new engine “wow” factor? Anyway, original Sin was one of games that I have actually finished, I even got the expansion pack and finished that too, and I thought it was very underrated and undersold as it was released about the same time as Half-Life 1. I always thought it deserved better and wished developer would make a sequel. Now my wish has come true…well… kind of. This game was only episode 1 of many episodes to come and this was more of introduction than anything else. Only 3 weapons that you could use and there wasn’t too much exciting thing going on. Even end boss was kind of let down. However, I did enjoy somewhat and looking at the episode 2 trailer, it looks like it’s going to me much better and bigger game.

Starwars Jedi Academy

Finished another game!! And it only took me about a year…

Starwars Jedi Knights: Jedi Academy for PC

Started May, 2005
Finished April 23rd, 2006

I hope they continue the Jedi Knight series…
I had such a fun playing this game.
