I heart Endings

As from the previous post below, I heart strong, crazy ending. However none have come across as mind bending before. Here is cheers to Infamous, for a crazy long boss fight and crazy awesome ending!

PoP goes the Ending

So awhile back I finished Prince of Persia, and wrote a review on it. Review went over fine; however I did manage to forget to make a reference to the games ending. Personally, I consider that ending to be among one of the best endings to a game I have ever played, and yet I can understand the criticism against it.

It isn't what you expected and removing the choice from the play the game so openly touts was maybe not the best move; however the fact that the ending so accurately reflects the characters whilst discussing worth of idealism over life in a very interesting way, give it an emotional resonances that you rarely find in video gaming. Yes, it is a kick to the face, however it was meant to be, and I for one am glad that a video games are now confident enough to use such an ending to great effect. So, my point for writing this? Please stop complaining Ian, damn it!

I heart Crysis Wars, but don't just take my word for it...

If anyone is like me, they love a good tactical shoot. A game that fit that bill perfectly in 2008 was Crysis Wars; the multiplayer component to Crysis Warhead. I have found this to be one of the best online experiences this year and now you can experience the magic too!

To celebrate the launch of patch 1.3, and the two new maps that come with it, they have thrown together a free trail for you lot. It is only ten days (between 19th and 29th of Dec) so hit the jump to be linked to the news story and enjoy.

Let's just blow off the dust here

Man, I have not posted for ages. Geesss, guess people may have given up on me! Anyway, over that period of time alot of events have happened. For one, I am at Uni, studying for a Masters in Mechanical Engineering. Second, I have been asked to start writing reviews for my local paper! It is quite an exciting prospect, made better by my purchase of a PS3. I have to admit, the 'why the hell not!' factor was part of purchasing decision.

The side effect of this is that i should start post more often.

Peace all! Ark

Coded Arms: Assault Canned

I was going throught pass E3 stuff, and remembered the first time they showed off Coded Arms: Assault. I also looked it up, to see what became of it. It is a real shame that they let this one go. http://ps3.qj.net/Konami-finally-confirms-Coded-Arms-Assault-canceled/pg/49/aid/120470

What can i say... Play this very long whilst playing games with your friends, and you have it made. Long time since i've hear any good gaming music. The beats just right for combos and such like. For listening perposes you either, like the genre, or you allow it to grow on you, which it will with time. but that's me for you, all about the games...Pinecones
