PS3, the last gen Next gen.

WTF!
WTF!

Ok, I need to calm down. I just need to know one thing. What the Fuck is Sony doing?
Their console is officially junk. Look, Resistance Fall of Man was good for a while, but what else? I have bought ZERO count them ZERO, thats nothing. No games since Resistance. Oh I've downloaded a couple of Playstation Network games (Flow, Tekken and MK2), but PS3 has just become another way for me to play my PS2 games.

What really sparked this is the PS3 version of F.E.A.R. I played and completed fear as well as spent significant time with its muliplayer on Xbox 360. I was kinda excited about it coming over to PS3 to see just what separates these consoles. A pretty graphically intesive game with online multiplayer. Which system does it better?

First a little info for all you non gamers or maybe you're just not in the know. Xbox Live, which is Microsofts gaming network, that allows players to connect and game online with each other costs $50 a year. Playstation Network, which apparently does the same thing, although without a universal Screen Name and Friendslist, is free. Also Xbox Live allows voice chat and communication throughout all games. Even cheap old Live Arcade games like Gauntlet, you can talk to yer buds. Apparently not so much on Playstation network as Mortal Kombat 2 does not have a voice chat feature.

Now back to Fear. The Xbox 360 version is beautiful, and runs smooth as eggs. The online multiplayer is dope. PS3...not so much. The games framerate dips and bops and what the hells all over the place. How about the killer online mode? There is no voice chat or any communication of any kind. Let me get this straight. Resistance Fall of Man has voice chat, but Fear doesn't. Even if this isn't Sony's fault, shouldn't they have mandatory features in place, maybe create a sense of conformity for the system. Shouldn't we expect online games to have voice chat by now?

I'm seriously let down by Playstation 3's performance so far. Nothing has sparked my interest and blu ray discs are too expensive. I'm no fan boy, I'm not loyal to any brand, I'm just shocked that the PS3 is feeling a lot like PS 2.5 right about now.

Zombie Comics

I've never been much of a comic book guy. I've bought a bunch back in the day, but I never really followed one in particular. I did a brief cherry poppin stint with X-Force.


This was dope back in the day. I still have this one too somewhere.

I've read almost all of Gantz, but thats a Japanese manga so it doesn't count. It's also really bad ass by the way.

Here's a sample of Gantz

Now I'm getting into The Walking Dead. It's an ongoing black and white comic about a zombie apocalypse. I'm buying it in volumes containing 6 issues per volume. It's a great read, and has some great art in it.
Check out the first issue here.


I also bought the hard back Marvel Zombies, which is written by the writer of the Walking Dead. If you see this somewhere be sure to pick it up, its gory, and hilarious.

MK 2 on PS3 Thursday

So I haven't been touching my PS3 lately. Not only because it is a finger print and dust magnet, but also theres not much to play on it.



Thursday I'll be able to play a 15 year old game on it though.

MK 2 hits PS network.

WTF is wrong with people? Go See Grindhouse

Apparently no one went to see Grindhouse this weekend. Come on you get two awesome movies for the price of one. So now they want to split the movies and release them on their own. The great thing about Grindhouse is how it emulated old double features from the 70's, complete with hilarious fake trailers in between. I hate people.

MORE INFO HERE.

Maybe Quake 3 on Live Arcade.

I just read that Quake 3 might be coming to Xbox Live Arcade.

I seriously hope its true, Quake 4 on 360 blows, but I used to play the hell out of Quake 3 on Dreamcast and PC.

Holy Crap! I gotta have one of these!

I need this now. NOW!

Microsoft Xbox 360 Continues to impress me.

The goods just keep rollin' in from Microsoft. Later this month they are going to released their "ELITE" version of the 360, which is basically just a black console with a bigger hard drive and HDMI output.



It's a bit more expensive than the 360 Pro, but its not replacing it. You can now pick from 3 different units of 360. Microsoft has said its all about consumer choice. They want to give consumers options. If you want just a game experience and don't care for online, you can get the cheap Core 360 (which has no harddrive), you can get the Pro which gives you a 20 gig harddrive and is able to connect and download games from Xbox Live, or you can buy the new Elite, which has a 120 gig hard drive, if you feel the need to download every game and trailer on the Live marketplace, with the addition of HDMI output if you happen to own an extra fancy HD TV. It's your choice. I like choices.

And today I find out about this.



In the next Live update, Microsoft will introduce some new features including instant messaging. Now you can instant message not only your xbox live friends, but also anyone on your formerly Microsoft Messenger, now Live Messenger. Just check out that cool as little qwerty attachment. Its slick, great design. I look forward to what else Microsoft has planned for us.

As far as me.



I've been putting mad hours into Phantasy Star Universe. It's the only game I've been playing for the past week. It's pretty mindless, but addictive as hell.



Everything was going great until some douche named Sky Reaper totally ripped my Easter Egg rare off for 10k meseta, he owes me my god damned Hanzo. Man am I a nerd.

Peace.
