I havent blogged it up in a while, so this is definetely due

Ive been playing a lot of battestations pacific these days, not much ofa WWII guy but damn this game is awesome! Its a follow up to battlestations midway, but I havent tried that game ever, and I actually heard its not that good...but this one is for sure. Anyway great game, check it out its a massively underrated game.

Now onto E3...

with the MS conference set to go about an hour from now I thought I would make some picks and hopefuls that we get some news about with E3. It also seems like this is more like E3 than the past couple years, everyone is excited and a much larger amount of industry peeps are allowed in.

Here is what I am hoping to see at E3:

Half life 2 : episode 3 revealed (probably not but i hope so!)

Beyond good and Evil 2

Assasins Creed 2

Bioshock 2

Dantes Inferno (looks awesome!)

...and othersI cant think of right now

anyway enjoy E3 everyone...oh and the stanley cup finals are going on, but my team is down 0 - 2 and its not looking good

but go pens go!

this is the best news I have heard in a long time regarding gaming....I mean I have been waiting for this announcement ever since xbla has been around. But FINALLY.........Turtles in Time, the classic beat em up for SNES is being remade and will be available sometime later this year (hopefully) for purchase. If you never played the original, stop whatever you are doing right now, go out and find a SNES console buy it and a copy of Turtles in Time (good luck on that hunt)

so they are making a few updates to the graphics, but i hope they keep the gameplay similar and dont ruin it

heres a link so everyone doesnt think im making this up

Happy Friday everyone, enjoy the weekend

after I watched that clip i was pissed off...and I dont usually get pissed off that easily (except for really frustratingly hard levels in video games)

But its Fox News showing their intelligence yet again...I cant believe this BS.....this is in the wake of a week where somewhere around 10 Canadian soliders got killed in Afganistan in the war effort. Now personally I believe this whole war mission is pointless and there is no way to suceed in afghan (as history has proved) but these guys seem to think that the Americans are 100x better than everyone else (not the first time that has happened). Now I realize that Fox News is not the most creditable source of news, but this is ridiculous. I know 6 year olds who have more intelligent conversations and debatesthan this.

now I know this will be read by U.S citizens, and Ive got nothing against you guys (unless you in the same mindset)but can you guysreally even think why these douche bags would say stuff like this? Its not like U.S has tons of countries on their side at this point, so I dont know why they are getting allies pissed at them.

the u.s image has really taken a beating lately....i wonder what barack would say about this one

whats up everyone!

Im sure a lot of you out there never had snow this winter, but living in Canada its a big part of the winter. Now it starting toget real nice out and all the snow is melting or has melted...its a great changeas you can actually go outside without wearing a huge winter jacket...but its also a sad time as the snowboard season is ending

This makes me want to go outside more, I almost feel as if I was hibernating this winter with all the video games Ive been playing! Soon I will have to go out and skateboard a bit, as I am feeling the urge to do it, and get rid of the rust that Ive accumulated with all the time off my board this winter.

Anyway Ive been playing Stoked lately, that game is a ton of fun, but the last pro challenge to beat travis rice is almost impossible! So ive just been having fun flying the helicopters around and exploring the mountains.

well thats it for me today...i have a few pics from snowboarding Ill put up from wednesday, you can see all the snow melting in some of the pics and I made good use of the grass gap in one of the pics!

n e way hope everyone is doing good...and hopefully some more ppl will comment on my blogs...i only got 6 comments last time! I guess Ill have to start doing more interesting blogs hahaha

Onwednesday I picked up my copy of Stoked for the 360 (the only console it was released for)

This was a long time coming as it was originally was supposed to be released in late last year, but then got delayed twice and ended up coming out in Canada on the 10th of march. It was released in the states on the 26 of febuary I think.

Anyway lets get to if its good or not right?

ANSWER : This game is awesome!

They have brought the skate controls to the snow, with a little variation and it works almost too good. I snowboard and I was going to give this a shot no matter what, and it didnt dissapoint. Its purely a backcountry snowboarding game so that means no snowboard parks and huge unrealstic rails like in SSX and shaun whites game. I was a huge fan of the amped series up until amped 3 (hate it) so I kinda thought that I would miss the big parks and rails, but this game give you so much freedom and sweet mountains to hit that I cant complain.

The game doesnt really hold your hand throughout the start 30 min - hour of the game so it can be easy to not know what exactly to be doing, but thats also good because it gives you freedom to get used to the controls and how the career progression works. Im not too far in, maybe like 3 hours or so and I still havent really touched the sponsorships and events that are available.

Favorite aspect - Weather system! The unique weather system is by far the coolest I have ever seen, with weekly forcast and when it hasnt snowed a lot of rocks with show on the mountain, but if its dumping you get pretty much fully covered mountains which can lead to lines and routes that werent available before. Its damn sweet!

So if you are a big snowboarding fan, as I am or like skate I would definetely recommend this game. The first time company bongfish may not have done a great job for advertising the game, but the final product makes me think it has been worth the wait, and also makes me happy I didnt get shaun whites game.

Ill post my official score of the game in a bit when I have beaten it, or just played a bit more (thiking its gonna be at least a 8/10 )
