I am like a child living in the 90s.

So. My new habit now is to spend lots of cash on old consoles. Alas, I think of it this way when I purchased my new old Super Nintendo and Dreamcast.

I AM PAYING FOR 2 CONSOLES.
EACH WITH THERE OWN SELECTION OF GAMES WITH THEM.
FOR 60 POUNDS.


In other words; I just bought 2 consoles for the price of the Modern Warfare 2 price. (WITH GAMES!)

I don't really know what to write about other than the fact the games are utterly expensive. Super Metroid in its box, 100 quid. StarFox with it's box and guide, 150 quid. So far the games I aim to aquire are out of my price reach. So I'll stick with my Super Mario All Stars and Plok.

My Dreamcast on the other hand, is slightly easier to get ahold of the games. I can nip down to my local Gamestation and they have quite a few behind the counter. But, when the times get tough- Shenmue...- I will have to result to using the easy way out with blank discs and ISOs. I don't encourage this, but I do in the cases when games become ridiculous to find etc.

I think the only game I've ever pirated properly was for PC and that was Grim Fandango.

The summer holidays draw to a close, and I'm gagging for a drink. See ya!

I'm going to say one thing. Sorry. No updates in ages for reasons.

I'm pissed with HMV. My Prestige edition of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 shouldn't be limited to that store. Nevermind the fact its costing me a lot of money, but it shouldn't be so GOD DAMNED secrective! It took 3 days worth of Googling to actually find out where abouts I need to get my order taken. HMV apparently got the exclusive, which is well done them. I golf clap them; they need it. But I look with evil eyes towards Activision for not giving us any infomation about it to the UK. Sure the French got some attention, the US have it anywhere, but us? PFF. Don't make us laugh.

I did get my order; I think. 120 pounds. It is 145 dollars over in America. THats 91 pounds. 195 dollars if we converted ours. Fuck you Activision. You've just lost any respect I had left for you.

Guitar Hero you have milked dry. GH5? I'll buy it. But I'm selling GH4. Because I have come to realise that game is shite. The songs are crap, the difficulty curve is still like running into a wall of nails. Band Hero? What is the need? The fact that it will drag more 'girl gamers' into the world of GH. But... I know plenty of girls that prefer playing 'Paint it Black' or even Call Of Duty. That is sad isn't it? Most games nowadays are just churned out by EA or Activison. It makes me sad.

Valve have recently announced stuff about Left 4 Dead 2, and that is really looking to be a treat? BULLET PROOF ZOMBIES. Fire bullets? OOh wee.

Erm... I do have a twitter? Limewizard :D

TV has become mind numbing. I've found myself watching it more and more since we got the new room. Because it goes like this on the desk we built.

TV + Freesat HD Phone TV
with
Xbox
Wii
PS2


So with these two TVs constantly blabbering on and on, I have my undivided attention between them. I curse you Scuzz. I curse you and the regular top 50 bands of all time countdowns. Curse you!

I'm also thinking of holding a Halo 3 tournement. Hmm, let us see how that goes. More news soon :)


Add me on Xbox Live! limewizard


See ya guys and gals and both genders!

Retro Binge: StarCraft

I'm not a fan of Real Time Strategy Games. I didn't enjoy WarCraft 3 or the much more simple Halo Wars. Infact, the only one I have enjoyed fully is Pikmin 2. (Pikmin one is awesome too, but I hated the fact that you couldn't go back once completed and explore at you're own liesure.) So I was put off StarCraft for a while. That was until I was watching the StarCraft 2 previews on Youtube, and it looked exactly the same as anyother Strategy game. Build the army, build a base of operations and don't die. Same old story and same old song and dance. I guess you can tell i wasn't looking forward to reviewing this for Retro Binge. I'm guessing you want to know how the hell I was convinced into playing this. I have to thank Adam from OverTheGun.co.uk (http://overthegun.co.uk/) for suggesting that I give it a go.

So when you start, you get given a rather nicely animated intro scene. I have to say, I like Blizzard's art style for this game. It isn't too WarCraft and it isn't too Sci-Fi. The human's are depicted as stero-typical American badasses. (I began to think I was leading an army of Vin Diesals at one point.) The tutorial is a little confusing, as it explains what to do, but not what each unit does. I thought that the huge mecha's would be strong and capable of killing hordes of enemies. No, they do the building and collect minerals and gas.

The story is pretty nice but isn't groundbreaking. It has to be the best from any game like this, but again, it isn't really needed. The story is here just to give you a mission, and sometimes the missions don't coincide with the story and are there for the hell of it.

The missions are fun and challenging. Although I do find myself using the same tactics over and over: Keep the "HERO" character back at the back and send say, 10 troops out into battle to clear the way. Build a base near any minerals and resources and then just build my army up and send them round to patrol. I guess this is the point, but I find it makes the game a little linear once you discover a ryhthm that works.

The graphics, even today, are infact pretty nice. The fact that this was released in 1996 and the cutscenes and gameplay begin to show there age, but this was quite an achivement. It isn't full 3D, with most of it prerendered backgrounds and layers in 2D put at such an angle that it almost looks 3D- ala Resident Evil. The cutscenes, are like early Pixar short films, although not as nice looking but they do the job. The artstyle is still one of the top I've seen and I'm glad they've stuck to it for StarCraft 2, released this year.

This was one of Blizzard's almighty three at the time, (along with Diablo and Warcraft) and probably to date, the most popular. With Asia still playing this over todays modern games and huge events held around the world for this in particular, I'm just a little upset I missed out on it all.

Looking onto the multiplayer side of things, this is where the game shines. The ability to quickly connect to Battle.net and battle against foes all around the country is fasinating. Different strategies and maps bring out the best fun I've had in years. Even when playing my brother over a LAN connection, and hearing him whisper, "Bugger." as I Zerg Rush his base, is much better than hearing some frat boy call me a N***er over Xbox Live. I guess, that is what seperates PC gamers to console gamers. The community. StarCraft has a loyal fanbase and yet if this where to be on console, it would be forgotten about about 3 months later, and not 13 years later until the sequel is completed.

Overall, this title was a blast. I think it does deserve a 10, but the fact is, it isn't the best looking anymore, the lip syncing was off and multiplayer was hard to find an open server. But it is a solid game, and I can't wait for the sequel. I'm feeling generous. 9.8/10. An A*. Yeah. I feel good about that.

Retro Binge (Wolfenstien 3D)

Being a gamer from the last generation, (Gamecube, Xbox, PS2) and having a buildong relationship in the PS1 days, (I used to own one for about 6 months before my Game Boy and Gamecube.) I feel the sudden need now to return in time to places I've never been. Yes. I'm going back to the glory days, after the glory days. Having bought, played and completed Wolfenstien for my iPod Touch (review in a moment,) I don't know why I felt the need to keep going forwards until I reach present day. I would love to do NES, SNES and Sega's holy and awesome days too, but that said; It's been done by everyone. I see no point, so my trip begins in the early 90's. Wolfenstien is released.

Retro Entry: Wolfenstien 3D; Released 1992. Reason for look back: Grandaddy of all FPS, (First Person Shooters.)
So the game starts with you in a room with a dead body. I presume you nicked his gun, and are now about to fend off Hitler's secret army. Running down corridors with new stylized touch controls, feels nice for about an hour; I felt a friction burn sentsation on my thumb. Corridors are cleverly planned, knowing the limited technology of the time, id Software laid them out in a maze style, making a simple looking hall turn into a puzzle of rememberence. The difficulty picks up on boss fights, which I guess is no concern, but being the new guy, I died and lost all my ammo, guns and extra health. I think they would have added a REAL save feature like from the PC. Ah well. After some time, I took down the boss. After a quick restart of level 8. Nifty thing in this is that all levels are open from the begining. So if you wanted to have a nostalgia trip of say... Chapter 6 boss, you can. Of course, playing through it properly and then returning to mess around.
The weapons were pretty nice, pistol has to be the best pistol in any game, ever. The machine gun is a good friend until I met chaingun. This bad boy shreads enemies to a pixilated picture of blood and guts in seconds. Though it could be said that the pistol just fires slower than the chaingun, as it also causes one hit kills.
Difficulty choices remain intact, with the hardest mode throwing respwing enemies, (I swear they respawn!) and bosses which take roughly 10 full chainguns to take down. Fun? More like hell. It is just impossible for the inexpirenced. Or the old vets, because of the new control scheme.
Speaking of control schemes. You have 3 or 4 different choices. New, simple and easy controls. Strafing forthe right handed and left handed, and tilt control. The new control suits it best. Strafing is for litterally those who wish to strech there fingers to fire the weapon and the tilt controls take some tweaking.
So on the whole, an 8/10. Its a fun, little port of the original. Next up is the big bad boy of Retro FPS games: DooM.
So on the whole I liked it.

Game Related Bollocks Podcast #1

Hello. Just a quick post.
Today I will be talking about how Guitar Hero is going into the what I like to call, "Sequel Shithole" and Sequels. Stay tuned.

Team Fortress 2; Riddick and why isn't Half Life Episode 3 here yet?

I'd like to say that, Team Fortress 2 is now officialy my most favourite game ever. Its fast, funny, and best of all a first person shooter game. I love 'em to bits. But this stands out. I know its been reviewed, acclaimed, won stuff, but I want my say.
TF2, is essentialy a capture this and take it there or capture that spot to win. But with each play, you're expirence changes dramaticaly. You might go scout and run the whole way to the intellenge, nick it and be on you're way. Or, you might play as the medic, and help a heavy take down some soldiers that are in you're way.
I'd like to go through the characters if I may. (Just quick summeries.)
Heavy: Big gun, lots of health and insanly hard to take down.
Pyro: Muffled voice, a bit like Kenny from South Park, owns the most lethal weapon in the game, the Flamethrower.
Soldier: Vietnam, styled crazy american soldier with a huge ass rocket launcher.
Spy: Sneaky bugger, when used right you can trick enemy medocs to heal you while in disguise.
Medic: For those not brilliant at the killing, might go for a supportive role of the Medic by healing poeple in battle.
Demoman: Like explosions and grenades? This is the man for you.
Scout: Fast paced, (In my opinion, Quake styled) character with a shotgun and a baseball bat.
Sniper: Needs not to be explained.
Engineer: Builds turrets, dispensers to help out, and teleporters.

Got the jist?

So you choose a class and use it to effectiveness. But what's so amazing is, how balanced it is. You get the feeling, even though the Heavy has the 300 health points, you can take him down with a few swings from Scouts bat.
The humour is top notch stuff. Ever seen a massive Russian who was once just beating you to death with his fists and then whip out a sandwhich? You will now.
The community helps out a lot here. Maps and mods have beenade with some maps- personally I love the Orange X3 map- are amazing, and occasionaly with a new update, one or two get thrown in by Valve. Its amazing.
The game is constently updated, with new weapons for each class and achievments added each time for you to work through. (Right now theres 170 achievments.)
It witty, fast paced and good looking. A big massive 10/10, from me.


I played the Riddick demo. I was impressed. I was dissapointed. I was amused. It was satsfying. Try it.
I hate most "stealth" games. Metal Gear Solid is the only one I've enjoyed. Splinter Cell was shit. Meh. But, Riddick, Riddick is a more, "Look! Bad guys! Hide!" when its just given you a shotgun. Either I'm misunderstanding it, or its not much sense. Great looking game though. I also like how its an FPSSTEALTH game, but also goes into thirdperson for climbing etc. I loved controlling 'drones' much fun.

Half Life 2 Episode Three. We were promised it about a year ago? No. No. No. Here I am, waiting to find out what happend to our favourite mute, Gordon Freeman. But why? Well, I'd like to elaborate.
HLEP3, will be using the new Version of the Source engine; the same as Left 4 Dead. Thus, Valve now need to shift again from the Episode Two engine. Graphics changed etc.
If you played till the end of Half Life 2, you noticed all the beasties waiting for you to destroy. These will most lilely be included. But the main factor is, Valve are going back to the Borielis. "Back? We never went!" Wrong. We didn't go, but most did; before some nut job decided to release it all over the net, ruining the game. Valve also now have to animate alot of new things, update stuff and need to round it off with a BOSS FIGHT. Yeah, I know. Gasp.
But when It does get released I'm forst inline.

Watchmen: The End Is Nigh game... Alan Moore might not agree, but I do!

Watchmen is now a major film. Watchmen will now be milked for every cent it's got. You know it, I know it. But, I feel this game is diffrent. I've played roughly a sixth of it. (Seeing as waiting until 10 pm, and then realising, "Oh, it's nap time." and it's the demo) So, I've got the just.
Its essentially an old fashioned beat 'em up. Just in the most snazzy high definition graphics, I've seen from ANY Xbox Live Arcade, (XBLA), game or Playstation Network or infact video game tie in ever. Rorsach's blots constantly shift on his face, Nite Owl's electrocution and cape light up and swing around. The rain, the detail on the- well- dark and murkey areas, a top notch. It's really nice to see some effort put into this franchise! Seriously! I've got my complaints, but I mean, DAMN! This. Is. Enjoyable!
The opening introduction 'cinematic', is completely done in the comic's art style, the voice acting is superb on both Nite Owl and Rorsach, and the story is no-cannon, so Watchmen fans who are intrigued have nout to worry. Plus it's insanly decent.
The combat is effective, with Rorsach going nuts; it's just so him! He snaps legs, penises, arms and necks. But while Nite Owl is a skillful martial artist, with his gadjets, Rorsach is much more fun to play.
Now, I said I had complaints. But, it's okay. There not major. It's too short. 5 hours? 20 dollars? (Roughly 10-13.50 pounds here...) isn't a deal. I'm willing to dish out the cash, I just wish it was cheaper. But with this, comes replayability. I believe you could do it 3 or 4 times. Rorsach and Nite Owl have slightly diffrent scenerios, not noticable but felt. The game literally drops you in the deep end. It took 15 seconds to realise X and Y were attacks. Not the more obvious, A and B. Also, the moves can become convoluted and confusing. But the wobbly combat always has it's satisfying crunch. Not much else to say, so far, a 7/10. A reccomendation from moi.

PS3 GETS PRICE DROP; XBOX LIVE GOES FREE FOR GTAIV: LOST AND DAMNED.

Okay!
PS3 is moving to a smaller chipset thingy. Basically it cuts production costs thus lowering the price. Hooray? No. This also means the fact that something has to go. You see, with Sony's loss of 1.1 Billion Dollars, they cut the cost of the machine in hopes that it will continue to sell on. I think there doing the right thing but, like I said, cheaper machine, something must go. That could mean the privialage of costly multiplayer or something along the lines.
Microsoft, being the 'generous' kind, are allowing all those who purchase GTAIV: Lost and the Damned a free weekend of LIVE. And no, you can't play any other game other than GTA online. This is a rare occasion that Microsoft do this.

*REVIEW*
Imagine a party. Now imagine all the members from each company who make First Person Shooters (FPS) games. So: Bungie; Crytek; Treyarch; Infinity Ward and the lot. So. Heres the situation: Bungie hosted a party, and invited everyone in the genre. But all the old folks from the Quake and Doom eras left because it was late. So Bungie has the entire group doing the Hand Jive. But Valve came late. Valve doesn't like the idea of doing the Hand Jive. Valve wants to it's own thing.
I hope your following, cause here comes the review part.
Left 4 Dead the new title from the monolith Valve is a zombie FPS shoot'em up. With a bit of survival thrown into. My kind of game. But, it has its problems like anyother game. But lets start with positives.
Left 4 Dead (L4D) pits you against hundreds of zombies or 'Infected' at once. No story lines, just, heres a zombie blast it to bits. KTHXBI. Okay, okay, theres a little intro at the beggining but, I didn't care and either should you as it only really belongs with one of the four campaigns. Along with the four campaigns, it comes with 4 'levels' or 'missions' or infact scenarios in each. It's quick, simple old fashioned fun. But, each campaign can only last up to about an hour each time. Thus bringing up the question, "But, what about replayability?" Thats where Valve's secret weapon comes in. The AI DIRECTOR. Seeing as the game is done in the fashion of B-Horror films, it sort of fits in. Each time, you play through, you'll notice that it isn't the same. Where the pipe bomb was last time, a bottle of pills might have replaced it. Or, where health packs where last time nothing will be there now, leaving you helpless at the wrath of the millions of zombies.
talking of Zombies, there a a select few of special ones. The hunter and its pounce can leave a survivor pinned and being ripped apart, the smoker and it's tounge leaves a survivor being dragged great distances while crushing the foe. A tank is litterally what it says on the tin; big, mean and powerful. And always appears at the wrong times. And, if you hear that siniser music and a women crying, turn off the flash lights and hit ALT to walk. Other wise the witch is gonna get you and rape your ass by instantly knocking you to the floor. A major nuisence but has a great achievment. And you know the best thing? you get to play as these in Versus.
Multiplayer is the main selling point here as well as co-op. But this is a game best played with friends, as the NPCs have whittled down my patience. I NEED HEALING. STOP WALKING OVER ME. Eurgh.
the best thing about this is the fact, you can walk ahead. But the zombies will gang up on you. Stick with teammates and they'll look after you. An added help is the constent sounds, and highlighters that point out different weapons. I also found, putting on subtitles always helps with the Special Infected.
So, an enjoyable multiplayer game with zombies. 9/10

I would actually shoot my own foot. If it meant I win the Internet.

Guitar Hero!
GH:Metallica is on the way!
GH: Greatest Hits is the best songs from the past games with full Kit support.

I just finished playing the Halo Wars Demo, and for 2 weeks worth of downloading? Its a rent at best.
(Review when the full gMe comes out)

GTA!
GTA4: Lost and Damned (GTA4LAD) could set GTA back on the Fun course. Oh and Niko's in it now. Yay?
GTA: China Town Wars has no full voice acting, or music lyrics in cars. Instead Rockstar opted for the bigger city and extra features instead. I can live with that.

Resident Evil has Evil controls.
Dead Space IS/MAYBE coming to Wii.
Dead Rising 2 IS confirmed.
Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop HAS been confirmed a poor port.
FallOut3 is still the best game ever.
Street Fighter 4's online play is a swing and a posible miss.
Ric Flair does Red Alert?! Who knew?
I'm enjoying a spit Of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. I have to say, it's brilliant.
What else?
I don't know. But, you know, Steam is the best thing evar!!!1!
I 2 weekends ago, the entire Rockstar package. Every GTA, even 4, Max Payne 1&2, Midnight Club 2, Manhunt, Wild Metal. All for 40 pounds!

Back in the day... we had to play Street Fighter on a wooden box...

Ah Street Fighter. My favourite game on Xbox Live Arcade, Wii Virtual Channel and Game Boy Advance. Why? I don't know. Maybe the fact it's so retro that it's cool.
But I'm used to saying Street FIghter 2 (SF2), that SF4 seems like a vulgarity in my mouth. Blech. But! When you look at it, you feel your eyes melt away at how pretty it looks. But forget that! I'm here to bitch about controls!

The PS3 version will be fine, I'm sure. It's got a nice D-Pad, and nicly feeling face buttons, making Hadokens a doddle.
The Xbox version... Is slightly hindered. If your a man/women of the interwebs; you know why. The D-Pad is completly retarded. So retared it's usually not included in games anymore. It slips and slides around in your fingers. The only time I used it was in Halo. For about 2 minutes all together each match. And even then I had trouble.

Until now...
http://store.gameshark.com/StreetFighterIV GO THERE. They range from 30 dollars to around 150 dollars. But in the UK, its halved. So I'm paying 15 quid. Which I then can use on my PC too! I'm getting a sweet deal. I'd love to buy the arcade sticks, but money doesn't grow on trees. And either do they. I think they'd sell out straight away.
Another thing...
http://www.game.co.uk/Xbox360/Fighting/~r339033/Street-Fighter-IV-Collectors-Edition/
That, I will buy. So worth it. :D

As you may probably tell, I'm looking forward to it. I will preorder it. I am so there.

The Quake Era is dead. Almost.

Why doesn't it drop dead already?! Why does it still feel statisfying to complete it?! I'll tell you why!

It's. Fun.

FUN?! FUN?! Yeah! Quake, Quake 2, Duke Nukem 3D and Half Life (2), all fall into this catagory.

Heres how Quake Era games work:

HOLY SHIT?! WTF? Oh a gun! AH SHIT! Bang! Eat that! Right, run! MURDERISE!! Next level. Repeat. End boss.

Or the more gameplay wise:

Run. Ammo. Shoot. Run. Ammo. Shoot. Next level. Repeat. End boss.

You see? No dramatic stories, no puffs running around in green armour. You get ammo, you blow shit up.

The only modern games to get this were; Half Life 2 and PainKiller. (Shurikens. Lightning. LOL ZERO PUNCTUATION!)
Half Life 2 plays exactly to its older brother. Just with added gravity.
Pain Killer is probably the last of this sort of thing. If you see a weapon, you pick it up automatically. You see ammo, its instantly added when picked up. No dramatics. Just pure fun.

Now adays, we've got Master Chiefs and Stupidly Over Powered Graphically Soldiers. In THE DOG SHITE BROWN. Yes. Why is it always brown?

When Duke Nukem Forever arrives, you can declare Quake era dead.

Hopefully.

Other news!

No one reads this!
Little Big Planet 2 might be exactly the same!
GTA4: Lost and the Damned could be added with fun!
Kiddies like to go insane over games!
And Call of Duty 6 might be named; Call Of Duty 6/4: Moderner Warfare. Or Modern Warfare 2.

Playstation Home had its 15 minutes. Now do something with it.

I confess. I do like the Playstation 3's multimedia approach to the consumers. And after april, the price cut will appear and hopefully I'll add it to my Gamecube, PS2, PS1, Wii and Xbox 360, DS and DS lite. It will be welcome, it will replace my Xbox in my room, (the xbox will get the better TV, seeing as, to be honest, no intention on Blu-ray.) I would gladly play LBP properly instead of completing it and having just 3 hours with the creation tool, I'd love to finish Metal Gear Solid 4 properly instead of playing through with my ADD cousin who skipped some cut-scenes, and I'd want to try home out properly too.
My relationship with the PS3 has been shit. I've literally gone to friends and cousins to play. I found most of the games shite bar 5, (LBP, MGS4, Dead Space, GTAIV (even if it is the worst version) and Motorstorm) It just feels unfinished in the games department. Online is by far the worst I've seen. My cousin updated, we waited for litterally, 6 hours for it just to do half. The router may I add was about 5 cm away. The market place generally doesn't compare to the XBOXLIVE MARKET PLACE. Online play sucks ass sometimes, with lag and connection issues surrounding tue consoles I've played on. ALSO! Home, is a piece of garbage. Who ever came up with it needs to play Second Life, take an idea or two and mix it in. Don't add shitty waiting lines, sponsers, (I'll be comong onto EA and Red Bull soon) and the only decent things in it were the creepy guy who followed us, and raped us and! Watchmen adverts. Other than that Sony fucked up.

Off topic, Sony has lost 1.1 billion dollars, which is equal to, 100 billion yen. They also sacked a few people. Yeah, Microsofts going down the shitter too. Sad really.

Anyway. EA have this massive virtual space in Home now, which is completly barren from the screen shots I saw on Kotaku.com, but I presume more has been added. Like a few million arcade machines. I hated within my 10 minutes of playtime, all 10 were waiting for the que to die down. Its ridiculous. Red Bull have been bribed in with a plane game. Yippee? No, it looks truly awful.
Really, I've just reviewed Home. If I had more time with it, I'd proper review it, but of course all I did was watch my friend get raped, and wait in a line. Wow, Sony, great job.

2009, Best Games of 2008, updates, kittens and more!

My list for the best of 2008 got a bit forgotten. So here we go! (again..)

1) LittleBigPlanet (PS3)
2) Fable 2 (XBOX 360)
3) The Orange Box (PC)
4) Fallout 3 (XBOX 360, PC, PS3)
5) COD5: World At War (XBOX 360, PC, PS3)
6) Halo 3 (XBOX 360)
7) Guitar Hero World Tour/ Rock Band 2 (XBOX 360, PS3, WII)
8) Dead Space (XBOX 360, PC, PS3)
9) Left4Dead (XBOX 360, PC)
10) MetalGear Solid 4 (PS3)

Top 5 Flops of the year gone

1) Mirrors Edge
2) Mercinaries 2
3) Wii Fit
4) Guitar Hero DS
5) Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts

Updates? Oh my!

Guitar Hero Metallica is set to be the hardest game to date in the series.
Left4Dead gets new skins.
Sources are lead to believe this year could be the year we hail to the king. I doubt Duke will show his face till late 2010.
PSN is still, no match for XBL.

Now I want to talk about the whole Xbox Live shouldn't cost. Most of the people who complain about it are Americans. And study shows that Americans spent most of their time playing the PS2, and World Of Warcraft. Now hang on. Most who play the WoW games, are infact Americans. And these Americans also might have an XBox. So your willing to spend 10 dollars a month on a game of grind, yet not 60 dollars a year for the best online servife to a console. You baffle me.

DJ Hero is in Development. Yay.

Oh and before I go, Metal Gear Touch.
