What to say about God of War 3… I think I’ll let it speak for itself.

Yes that is right the latest installment of God of War returns with Olympus in Kratos’ sites. I don’t want to spoil the game for any of you that have yet to play the God of War series yet, so get out and rent, buy or borrow the God of War Collection and get caught up with the story before God of War 3 is released March 16th. Make sure to check out the God of war site HERE.

Just like every other eagerly anticipated game, there will be a Collectors Edition. The normal game will cost $59.99 and the Ultimate Edition will be $99.99.

The Ultimate Edition includes:

• High-End Sculpted Replica of Pandora’s Box

Here is one of the songs in the Blood and Metal EP called “Shattering the Skies Above” by Trivium.

If pre-ordered at Gamestop you will receive the Premium Skin of the early concept of Kratos along with a chance to receive a very limited poster.

There will be a give away for my last God of War 3 E3 2009 demo code, so leave a comment to enter and make sure you leave your real email so I can send it to you if you win!!     (only I can see your email)    I will be posting the winner on this Monday so make sure you stop in and check.

Just picked up my copy of Ghost Busters the game from Game Stop and will have a review up by the end of the day.

Well after a great 6 hours of playing the game I have come to the conclusion that this game is very addictive and may be difficult to some people. The game feel much like Assasin’s Creed meaning that you can free run almost anywhere but the controls felt to be very smooth.

Pros:

The game runs smooth.
The graphics look great.
The unlockable powers are unique.
Uncharted 2 multiplair beta on 6/3/09

Cons:

There were a couple of glitches such as walking through trash cans and cars.
No online or co-op gameplay.
Can get confusing finding certain areas.

Final thoughts

If you liked Assasin’s Creed you will love this game as much as I am.Overal this is a great addition to the growing Playstation 3 exclusive list!

After about 2 days of playing this game on and offline I can now officially say this game ROCKS!!!! Offline the campaign mode just pulls you in and really makes you feel as if you are about to be sent to fight the Helghast army of super advanced soldiers. All out the graphics look great along with the physics make this game very realistic.

Yet there are a couple of setbacks to this game. There is a little lag after finishing a dash along with a slight lag after trying to zoom in to kill the opponent.

But this game redeems itself with the most amazing online experience that can only compare to Call of Duty’s. From all the games that I’ve played for the PlayStation 3 this is the most fun I’ve had in a long time. I’ve not been kicked from a game due to poor connection like Call of Duty will occasionally do along with almost no lag.

Overall if you have a PlayStation 3 and love first person shooters then you should go out and buy this game. I now like this game even more than Call of Duty 4 and 5! There is so much to do and has consumed my life for at least until Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 comes out.

If you want to play my PSN is IMLAZY and also check out my brother’s blog for some very interesting videos and just random posts at jasonmbader.com (his PSN is imalazyass18).

Good luck all you lucky people that have that code!

Since Circuit City is going out of business I have decided to ask everyone out there if you would also like me to start reviewing  Xbox 360 games along with my Playstation 3 games. I will go out and buy one only if  get enough views along with some comments telling me that I should or should not get one. So if you think that I should buy a Xbox please leave a comment along with if you don’t think I should buy one. Tell your friends to do the same.

So here is your chance. Leave a comment if you would like to see Xbox 360 reviews along with Playstation 3 reviews. (Going to also try and get Wii reviews up after I’m done swimming in 2 weeks)

*One week from now I will post my decision.*

After a couple of days playing home I am starting to come to the conclusion that there is no real purpose to Home but to meet other playstation users and play some online games in arcades. As of now there really isn’t that much to do because bowling, pool, and the rest of the arcade games are usually taken up. Since you can only have 1 person to an arcade game you might end up waiting around an hour to even find a arcade game to play. Still have not been able to play chess in the mall but am hoping to get to soon. The Far Cry area is okay with the one game to play but not much to do along with the Uncharted area.

They patched the problems that people were having tring to logg on for the first time and others were geting different error codes. They have a new patch out right now that fix the trouble that those individuals were having but now you are not able to Voice chat.

Mostly all people do is dance and play games. But right now most of us U.S. playstation owners will be getting the Red Bull Airshow soon.

Mall- The mall is a very unique area in which we can buy clothes, various items(not available yet but will be getting TV’s photo frames, and stereo systems). The also have a live steam from their Playstation Network site near the chess tables on the second floor. The downside to this is you must buy all the clothes so fat along with furniture and the summer house. The summer house cost $4.99 and the other items range from 49 cents to 99 cents. The new update also allows you to buy a santa suit but to buy all of it costs 49cents per item so totals out around $3.

Bowling Ally- Arcade machines, Bowling lanes(only about 5 lanes with up to 4 people per lane), and pool tables. The games are very addictive and not laggy as I previously thought they would be.

Theater- Not that great in my opinion. There is only one theater that you can enter (unlike the Japanese one where you get to choose your movie trailer) that repeats after it finishes streaming.

Central Plaza- Nice little area with the UFO game and the music playing area but there is no video viewing parts that the Japanese area has. This is a great place to just hang out and meet some new people.

The apartments- Very interesting because for some reason almost all of my furniture has disappeared but one coach and a light that is now on the floor. You can just let you mind run free and is a lot of fun to set up.

It is a great idea and am finally glad that the update is out now. It is free to play unless you would like to start buying things which i think i might do after the TV’s and frames come out along with pool tables and arcade machines.

By far the best game to hit the PlayStation even over Socom. ( Socom was the biggest disappointment in my life and that is saying a lot.) But anyways this game is KICK-ASS. I have never played a game like it. The game is set back in WWII but yet has a better feeling then the previous game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Right out of the case there was one update that only took me about 2-3 mins to download and played online for around an hour with NO LAG!!!!I haven’t played the offline part yet but hope to play tonight. The online is amazing. If you have played the previous games your would know about how there are almost no problems and this game is no exception. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who loves the previous games and also to first person shooters. Hope to see you all soon on Call of Duty: World at War.

If anyone dares to take me on add my PSN—IMLAZY If you have a psn leave a reply and post your PSN Hope to see you all there : )

Getting Call of Duty5 later tonight after my practice. So depending on what I am doing tonight their might be a post on either Call of Duty or one of my favorite games that is so addicting Little Big Planet.

Future posts will consist of:

HOME (If it ever comes out)

Call of Duty 5 (Hope to have up by tomorrow of final review)

Little Big Planet

Socom update of 1.30 (They have had the same post for a week now that it is going to be out but don’t think it will for a while)

and what ever you would like to know about for PlayStation or Wii.

~Jusin

OK I was finally able to log onto Socom for the first time about 2 days ago with all their server problems. It is a great game but has some problems right now such as LONG load times and being booted from games and having my PlayStation freeze up. This game has potential that is not being reached as of yet. The trophies are not up yet along with all the features are down. Slant 6 did a good job on the game but really didn’t get anything done from the beta. The beta had the exact same problems that the game has now. Long load times and the servers failing on the first couple of days….. Overall I’m very disappointed. The only reason for me buying a PlayStation was for this game and has failed me. I hope they get everything figured out and get the game up to par with the rest of the games such as gears and halo. Next post will be about Little Big Planet ,if they get this game out soon along with the future of HOME.
