Uptown – Drake feat. Bun B & Lil’ Wayne

Hey everyone!  It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and that’s due to a few things.  First of all, my ass has been severely bruised by mid-terms, so I’ve been recovering from that.  Secondly, I’ve been working on some awesome things that’ll (hopefully) make it into the next post.  The first thing is a “fail reel,” which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like.  I’m taping all of my glorious phails from my gaming in between posts.  The second thing, which is considerably more exciting, is the beginning of my very own webcomic created entirely from videogame stills.  Yes, it will have it’s own story, and all that, so I strongly suggest you check it out!

Anyways, segwaying away from that, recently, the Wii has made me smile instead of making me sigh and shake my head.  No More Heroes 2 is out, and naturally, due to my status as a broke-ass university student, I cannot afford to play it.  Regardless, the game has been released to generally positive reviews, averaging out at about a pretty solid 8.7.  Also,  Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All Stars recently to great reviews as well.  On top of that, we still have big third-party games like Red Steel 2 and Trauma Team to look forward to, as well as Japanese imports like Monster Hunter Tri, Sakura Wars and Shiren the Wanderer that all look pretty cool coming over here soon as well.  I feel like the release of the MotionPlus brought about renewed sense of third-party support for the Wii.  Maybe it has something to do with the attachment’s capabilities, but I doubt that because a lot of games that are coming out don’t even use the MotionPlus.  Truth is, I have no idea what caused it, but I do know that I’m going to enjoy it.

Two more games that I can’t play at the moment, Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock 2 have both shipped recently.  They’ve both been released to great reviews, so I suppose that’s an indication that they aren’t too bad of games.  I’ve been stupendously excited for Mass Effect 2 since I heard it reads your saves from the first game and reacts accordingly.  Talk about frakking awesome.

Anyways, hopefully when I get some money, I can tell you what I actually think about these games, rather than just telling you what other people think.  Well, I suppose an advantage of that is that I’m more persistent in finding games like Steven Poulton and Ben Chandler’s Hope.

In other news, Traveler’s Tales is whipping up a LEGO: Harry Potter Years 1-4, which I think is pretty sick.  I feel like the Harry Potter games are hit-and-miss.  The first two were okay, I really enjoyed the vastness of Hogwarts in Azkaban, four sucks, and I hear the last two are pretty sweet.  I suppose this excites me because I never thought movies were a good form for the Harry Potter series.  I think a TV series would capture the everyday-familiarity of the Harry Potter universe, so I’m hoping by covering 4 years in 1 game, the game will feel more like a day in the life of Harry Potter rather than a sparse collection of his most intense moments.

Anyways, I believe that’s it for now, take care all…

Until next time…
