Remember Me? Duke Nukem Forever trailer is here.

 

Hey… Remember this guy? We might finally get to see Duke Nukem Forever? Remember that game? I think the game has been in development since Moses parted the Red Sea… Anyway, here is the new teaser trailer.

Resident Evil: Degeneration screens.

Check out the link below for a full set of the Resident Evil: Degeneration screens from the upcoming CGI DVD film from Capcom. This is most likely the only Resident Evil “movie” I will see. To this day I refuse to see a Hollywood-made Resident Evil movie (with that Mila chick) because of how they screwed over George A. Romero.

Are you getting for what you pay for?

Im still unclear about the X360 Elites features, but I read on and I noticed that everything was clear. But then I began to compare both systems, and I realized that the X360 doesn’t have a built in HD DVD player. I also did more research, and apparently in order to have HD DVD, you must buy an extra component to have it. But wait, the system itself is $499.99, and the HD DVD component is $169.99! thats a total of $659.99!!!

Meanwhile on the PS3, you have the gameplay, the Bluray, the online features and basically every other thing that the xbox 360 has. I already know that the Online Experience is much better on the X360’s, but I believe that Sony will soon one day compete with it!

Why do i bring this up you ask? Well, I am tired of hearing this BS on how the PS3 is way over priced! The PS3 has all those functions that the 360 has, but the only thing the 360 couldnt bring was its HD DVD player! you have to pay extra! PS3- $499.99 360- $619.99…..hmmm, I wonder who is really over priced!?

Oh, and dont get me started on microsft points! What a jip! Its like going to a carnival and buying 4 tickets, but everything in the park is 3 tickets. But unfortunetly you can only buy tickets in a pack of 2 tickets each! So when you buy something, your gonna be left with an uneven amount of tickets, which means you will be left with tickets you cant use unless you buy more tickets! Its a scam! Send me hate mail! I’ll love it!

Weekly Thoughts (December 7th 2007)

This is the first of what I guess you could call a end of week thought. Hell, every blog seems to have one now. Everybody has a “end of day thought” or whatever… So here are my thoughts of this weeks gaming news…  

First in-game Street Fighter IV images emerges.

Here we go, the first image of Street Fighter IV (Street Fighter 4). Looks pretty damn good so far. Old-school SF look in a 3D world (thats done right)… My guess is that this is a PS3/360 Image. Click the link below for a larger shot…

Never Count A Video Game System Out.

I am really tired of reading every other day that “The Nintendo Wii is just a gimmick and will lose the system war” or “Sony will be in last place with the Playstation 3″ or “The Xbox 360 is doomed”. I just read a story on a everyday typical Gaming Blog that was talking about how the Nintendo Wii will not last against the Xbox 360 and Sony PS3. So I thought I would throw out there my personal take on this system war.
