Purchased BLACK.
Well after finishing Indigo Prophecy I faced A problem I was running out of games to play, and I was looking into the Xbox Originals, and I caught sight of BLACK, that came out a couple of weeks ago. Of course since I didn't pick it up at the time, I had forgotten it even came out. Now playing the game today I am still very impressed. This game came out a couple of years ago on the original Xbox, but still this games visual style would do fine in current gen. The whole style of the game is all out impressive, the fact that when you shoot shit gets released into the air making it near impossible to shoot with any bit of accuracy, thankfully the enenmies guns spark mussel flares so you can pinpoint where to shoot. I'm way into this game once again. Anyway just thought I'd shed my thoughts on the game :)
take it easy guys.

Just Finished Indigo Prophecy(Xbox Original)
Well, I've been chipping away at this game for what feels like ages, taking it in bit by bit and finally tonight I sat down and said I'm finishing this game, and so I did, and all I can say is wow. So I'm going to write my thoughts about it. First thing I'm going to say is its worth 15$.
Just a short bit for anyone who likes it short, but for you people that like it long... haha :P sorry. Uhh anyways, for the longer version,
basically in Indigo Prophecy you play as Lucas Cane that basically is a killer, the first scene you play sets you up as a murderer and the police begin to solve the case and find out who you are but you find out there is more to this then first glance.
I don't want to go into to much detail in the story aspect because its a very well written story and its easy to giveaway information. Anyways so the best aspect of Indigo Prophecy is, like I said its story shines bright. I got very entwined into the story and always came back wanting to know the ending, There are a lot of twists and turns and it makes for an amazing story.
The game play is something that could have been made better for sure, the camera controls can get very annoying at times but most of the time its no big deal. The game is played pretty much like a movie. It is an adventure game, so the camera is obviously third person. Another complaint I have is a few of the missions that I found unnecessary and pretty much straight up crap I didn't enjoy playing them at all. But on the flip side there are many amazing control and game play mechanics. Most of the game is played using the right thumb stick as your action, so when you want to get up you tilt the right thumb stick up, just take my word for it, it fits in well, it may not sound great but its better then it sounds. As well there are cut scenes that are contact sensitive, so you will see 2 circles with colours up down left and right ( and there are 2 circles) the one on the left represents your left thumb stick and the one on your right represents your right thumb stick and they will flash like up down up down and you'll have to tilt the thumb sticks accordingly, its a lot of fun.
The graphics are passable, I mean it is an Xbox Original so don't expect marvelous graphics, its probably a little under the bar for the time of release but its not the graphics that are what you should play this game for.
The sound is very well done, there are many close quarters, spooky area's where the music kicks in just at the right time, as well when the cops are coming it changes to a track that makes you more aware and nervous, the sounds is well presented.
All in all, this game is worth the 15$ to play through the amazing story and just get to play basically a movie, but I warn you there is one level in the game that you will probably get stuck on because it is not obvious. If you have any troubles and you don't feel like searching up for a guide comment, I'll comment back and if u see 2 or more comments in the box, chances are the answers in there. I would rate this game 8.5/10 , AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Making Scotty Weep
Ok, so Scotty decided to spend way too much money on his computer, I wont go into details, lets just say he could find better things to spend THAT amount of money on.
So, in my infinite need to make people see the error of their ways, I went to ibuypower.com and shopped a comparable system and the result should make scotty want to cry.
NOTE-
This system does not have 2 things that scotty ADDED to his system, the BR drive and the physics card, also adding a monitor would be about $200 more.
all told this system costs $2954.00 USD
Intel Quad Core (4x2.4Ghz)
Liquid Cooling
4GB Corsair RAM
2x eVGA Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX 768 w/DVI+TV Out Video
500GB Primary HDD
160 Secondary HDD
Lightscribe DVD Burner
Sound Blaster X-Fi Card
Vista Ultimate
Not to mention they have available next day shipping, which would mean I would have this computer by weeks end if I ordered today, add $85 for that and I have a computer thats WAY, way, way, way less than what I believe scotty to be paying.
Bring the tears, you sold your soul to dell for an awesome computer.

HDDVD Dead
So, after a short battle, HD DVD has been pronounced dead by its creator, Toshiba.
For those who dont know my position, I supported HD, mainly because it was developed by the same company that originally invented the DVD, they should know what they are doing. Unfortunately, sony just has too much money to throw around and now our movie watching souls will belong to them in next gen.
Mind you, I dont own either of the 2 formats at this point, but I was starting to toy with the idea of getting a new HD tv which would have made me want some sweet looking dvds to watch on it, and now I will probably have to drop the equivalent of a whole paycheck to get a Blu Ray player... thanks sony, you money grubbing, piece of shit manufacturing douchemonkeys.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith
So, the next installment in the GH series has been announced, and I have to say this one has me really excited.
Thats right, Aerosmith is letting Activision go buck wild with their massive list of hit songs to bring us an Aerosmith themed Guitar Hero game, and it will rock. From the look of it, they are gonna have the venues be based off of the collection of stage setups the band has used over the years, of which I have personally seen 3.
It wont be a 1 band game, for those worried that it will get boring fast only playing Aerosmith songs then fear not! Bands that Aerosmith has worked with and that have been inspired by Aerosmith will also be in the game.
To celebrate this partnership Activision will be offering up a free track, THIS WEEKEND ONLY. "Dream On" by Aerosmith.
I will keep up with this story as more info is made readily available headed for a June release.

Randommess
So, Ive already been horrible at posting a couple times a week on both blogs, but thats because I am now using Firefox 3 Beta, which does not support my nifty blogging plugin.... so I will try harder.
But, I did get a new Linksys router over the weekend, its sweet... only took me an hour to rewire my network and get the beauty installed.
Also, I got a second interview at CCS (call center, dispatching), I am about to head out for that and if they offer me the job today (crosses fingers) I will be making $10/hour, which means I will be going on a gaming spree very soon!
Thats all for now, keep up with my twitter for updates throughout the day!
