Closing In on Tokyo Game Show 09.

September 23, 2009

Seemingly getting closer and closer with each day. And should hopefully give us some interesting developments in the game industry. At the same time, we don’t exactly know what to expect in terms of surprises (if there is any).

We already know that Sony will be playing around with their wand motion controller at the expo, and that as usual Nintendo are not expected to make much of a showing and instead hold their own summit where they get all the attention.

But beyond that, its mysterious. I suppose we’ll find out when the show opens in a few days. Are you holding out for anything in particular?

The Resistance Leakage.

September 9, 2009

What? The album finally beat Warner. That’s right, it leaked. They get massive props for holding out so long, but once a store in Australia sold a copy we knew it was coming. Then word arrived of stores in France selling them and *bam* the leak was there.

Doesn’t mean it didn’t come without its troubles. Uploads and uploads filled with Reckless. But in the end, utterly worth it. Those on MuseLive whom I shared this tiring, time-consuming event with will understand. I think I’ve found another community I love as well.

My review will be coming soon… but I’m not a music maestro, haha.

It. Arrived.

September 1, 2009

It. It. It. What is it you ask?! Well, obviously its Metroid Prime Trilogy. What else would I be so stupidly excited for?! On a lighter note, it rocks. It rocks so much that Nintendo has finally made a really smart move. Bundling a holy trinity of games in one package on one disc is genius. And I sincerely hope to see this Trilogy shift a lot of copies from shelves. Anticipating first week sales. At the same time, stupid Wii fans will probably by 10 copies of Wii Sports Resort to every 1 copy of Metroid Prime Trilogy sold.

Well, who cares… their loss. The pack is great. At first I was going to be a bit let down by the art book last week, but have since then realised it was an art booklet and only advertising mislead the masses. So I was back to joy again, even though the story summar on the booklet spoils the entire trilogy… so don’t read it if you haven’t played it yet.

Who could have imagined that simply adding a fantastic control system in the place of an already fantastic control system could improve the game ten-fold.

If you can get your hands on a copy of Trilogy then definitely do so. It should make the wait til Metroid: Other M a lot more bareable.
