Star Wars The Force Unleashed II
I was a big fan of the first game, I actually think it is one of the best Star Wars based games of all time. This trailer looks amazing.

PixelJunk Eden
I forgot to show this game off last week when I got it. The game is called PixelJunk Eden and it is a PSN game available on the PS3. I didn't shoot it with a digital camera, embedded in the game is a recorder function that you can upload game play directly to youtube. I see a lot more games doing this in the future, since most people that play games like to show off what they have done.

GTA IV - My Review
(I started writing this last Friday & have updated anything that has changed)
Now that I have been playing Grand Theft Auto IV for the past week, I felt it was time to tell you what I think of the game. I know everyone and their uncle has reviewed this game, but I have played it on both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 and wanted to give my personal thoughts. I started with the 360 version after standing in line for a couple of hours Monday at midnight with a couple buddies (I think I was the oldest one in line). Of course I got home and played it for a few hours (didn't regret it, but I felt it at work the next morning). I immediately loved it just for the simple fact that it improved the things I always thought were problems in last 3 installments like for starters the graphics and a free roaming camera when your walking.
Game play - You play an Eastern European named Niko that has come to America to live the life that his cousin Roman told him so much about, but shortly after he arrives, he finds out that Roman was BS'n him big time. It is very simply a top notch game, my friend Justin and others think the driving needs to be updated with a patch for how loose they are, but I personally think that is the way it will be on the 360, as for the PS3 driving doesn't seem to have the same short comings. Anything goes in GTA IV, you can just drive around and people watch if you choose to do so, that is one of the things I enjoy about free roaming games. You can walk, drive any car, motorcycle, helicopter you see or just explore. What more can you ask for in a game.
Online - Online game play has been around for a long time on the PC front, but Xbox Live made it a necessary component for console gaming with the introduction of the Microsoft Xbox back in 2001. Since then online gaming has grown to be one of the most popular things to do while playing games especially with the next gen consoles, Xbox 360, PS3 and yes the Wii. Enough about the history of online gaming, I really need to tell you how it is on GTA IV, well for starters, in as few words as I can type it is simply amazing. I haven't played a lot of sessions of the online component, but spent over 4 hours one night with 2 buddies just checking out the entire city on the 360. I had a total blast just roaming the city while chatting it up with buddies. One person can drive while others can get in also as passengers. I have read that some guy thinks that GTA will be the most played online game soon (updated: it has taken the #1 spot on Xbox Live), to beat out Halo and Call of Duty 4, and I don't see why not, as for GTA, it has a larger appeal than your typical first person shooter. That PS3 seems to be the same thing, but I am waiting for my brothers to get their copy and other friends to get back into town to give it a true testing.
Xbox 360 vs. PS3 - Like most reviews have stated both versions look really good and play very similar, but I think the controls on the PS3 are a little more solid. I don't know if it is the Dual Shock 3 precision or if it is a coding thing, but for me when I play the PS3 version it seems that I have better control of the character and cars. The advantages of the 360 are the achievement points and the additional exclusive content that Microsoft paid $50 million for. The advantages of the PS3 are better controls and the city seems bigger by the raw power of the PS3 being able to draw more of the world faster. One other advantage of the PS3 is the reliability of the system, the 360 is getting better, but I still remember when I got the RROD (red ring of death). (Update: My PS3 version stopped working on Saturday, apparently this is only affecting a small portion of players and I did not get it going until late Sunday. I had to go through these 12 steps to get it going, but now I know to just log out, start the game and then log in if I want to play online and it works just fine) (Update: A patch was released and now everything seems to be working just fine.) For what system to buy it for would depend on what system you have and how many of your friends have that have the same system.
Overall thoughts - Like what everything I've posted for the past few months about how excited I was for GTA IV, Take Two spent the estimated $100 million very well on making one the best gaming experiences I have ever had. For starters I really like the main character and the story so far (Update: the story is top notch). Online is great and will indeed keep me coming back for some time. Both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are very comparable and recommend either one. Finally, all I have to say is if you like video games and want to experience one of the best games ever made (IMO) then you need to look no further than Grand Theft Auto IV.
(Also, I will try to add some pictures of both systems soon)

The Force Unleased
This game is definitely going to sell well, but all of the different content for the different consoles I can see people buying more than one copy. I am going to get it on the PS3 for the HD, but I may need to rent the Wii version to see how well the Wiimote works with the light sabers. I have said it before, but Lucas will never be a poor man all because of Star Wars. I hope this game plays as well as how hyped up I am about it.

The Bourne Conspiracy (Game) Trailer 2
Like exactly what I said before, I sure hope this game plays as good as it looks and if the controls are anything like Drakes Fortune I will be a happy camper.

The Bourne Conspiracy game
If this game plays as good as it looks, then sign me up. It looks similar to Uncharted for the PS3, which had really good controls, so it has my attention.

It's Official HD-DVD is DEAD
Toshiba pulled out of the High Definition format war after suffering several blows in the past weeks that started with Warner Brothers in January switching from a neutral stance to Blu-ray (BD) exclusive, then on Monday Netflix said they will only be carrying BD, and Best Buy said that they would recommend BD to customers, and the final blow came Friday from the largest retailer chain in the world Walmart said that they will no longer be selling HD-DVD players in June. I am not a big fan of the company, but they do have a lot of pull, and when they say they are not going to sell something, then you should know that it is all over. Well, I won't miss the format as you know, but what are you doing, go out and buy a PS3 or stand alone BD player now. Target has a 40GB PS3 for $399 with a free $40.00 gift card.

Get a free Playstation 3
All you have to do is apply for a Sony Credit Card and get a free Playstation 3 when you purchase a Sony HDTV. What could be better, a HDTV, a PS3 that plays both Blu-ray and games.

Burnout Paradise PS3
PS3 owners, do yourself a favor and go to Playstation Store and download the Burnout Paradise demo. It looks amazing and so different from Burnout Revenge where you have free roam of the city, gas stations to get more nitro, and repair shops to fix up your cars. The graphics are top notch and of course the destruction is too much fun. The game is scheduled to be released January 22, 2008 and I can't wait. After what happened to my buddies' 360 last night (scroll down), it makes me happy that I have my PS3.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3)
I just finished playing the demo of this game Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on the Playstation 3 and I had to tell all of you about it. From the graphics to the game physics to the action everything is top notch. I just want to know where this game came from, it is so amazing. I don't think that I have ever played a demo before and was this excited about a game demo. My brother actually got the game last week and everything that I thought about the demo was the same he felt about the full game, so I know that this will have to be my next game to purchase. It really is time for the PS3 to shine, with lots of new great games coming out, lots of great Blu-ray movies out, and with the recent $399 40GB system being released with Spider-man 3, now is the time to buy a PS3.
