It's been way to long since I wrote a blog. Mainly cuz my wifey has to have the computer for online class, so I just get to the computer whenever I can. Last time I put up a post, GTA IV just came out, damn that's a long time ago. Considering the fact that no one reads this shit, it really doesnt matter. A lot has happened since then, Metal Gear Solid 4, Madden 09, and NBA 2k9 is almost here, just another week or so.
Metal Gear Solid 4 had to be the most realistic looking game out this year. It has a great story as always, a lot of things that could spark debates, especially when you have a story that involves the military and a Kilumanati type of group that controls the world. Im not gonna really delve into the story but it was kool. There was a weird thing though, most of the bosses where female, and after you defeated their armor suited bodies, you would have to fight them again, shoot them to death. They would constantly be walking towards you slowly dodging bullets, trying to seduce you or something. I really dont know the purpose of this. I found it kind of sexual, but maybe Im just a perve, LOL!! They had warning signs of smoking since everyone knows Solid Snake is a smoker, even dying of the FoxDie virus he was still smoking during the loading screens. It lookt so real, even when I didnt have any cigs, this made me want to go get some. I am a smoker, but I dont have to have it unless I see someone else with it. Its a visual addiction I guess. NeWay, the game was very good, graphics, story, music, voices, presentation, you really couldn't tell the CGI cutscenes from the actual gameplay. The online part of the game was a total letdown, just like the beta trial from the pre-order. The Konami servers just couldnt handle the people logging on and they kept failing until Konami just shutdwon the whole project, bummer.
Madden is always a game thats hyped to death everywhere, I still see ads for it on Tv at the store, even 7-11 sells it for all platforms. I have never actually owned a copy of NFL Madden so I decided to get one this year. I have to say I have learned a lot about football. This game has actually brought out the football lover in me. I will be a hooper til I die but, now I now more about the game of football, and I am learning more everyday, this game did more than it said it would do, making me a better player and teaching me more about the game itself. I love football now, I'm not a Bears fan yet, but I still root for the Monsters of Midway. Honestly I would've told you I suck at Madden, but at my Madden IQ wasnt under 500 on the first Madden test. It was 516 which wasnt that much better but, I knew enough to beat a few people. What I liked is I tackled this problem headfirst cuz I sucked at Madden, I mean sucked compadre. Before I got this game I probably won total of 4 games lifetime. When I watch games on TV now, I be yelling at the QB, "Its a blitz! Audible, audible!!" thats because I see it coming and you're gonna take a loss of yardage if you dont change the play. This game gave me that, it didnt just throw me in there and say here, go play. I know that Madden has its legacy problems like the tractor beam passes, and the interceptions on a hard pass to the middle, but now you can't go for that bomb on a post pattern for a spectacular catch like u used to. People used to make a living off that play. I swear. But so far im 14-11 hey thats 3 games over .500 and thats good enough for a rookie. The most points I've given up is 28 and I get at least 2 picks a game. check my stats if you want. Im getting better thats all I care about.
NBA Live 09 is about to come out, I have to say that I like Live 08 better than 2k9 I played them both for 360. This years Live looks like a dissappointment to me, they hiding bad gameplay behind DNA stat tracking type of thing where the players mimick tendencies of their real world counter parts based on stats from the previous nights. I think it handles like garbage personally so Im going to wait for the consensus review on this one. 09 or 2K9? We'll see.
