PSP NGP Price=350$?

There are rumors floating about on the internet of the ngp's price tag. Many people now believe that it may be around 350 dollars. My thoughts? It's a fairly decent price tag. If you take into consideration; all of the tech that will be crammed into this device...it IS a decent price.

As of now; this is still a rumor, but I personally think that it may be around that price point. Nothing else to report at this moment. Except that the ngp is seriously going to rock.

Forgotten Gems: Sudeki (Original Xbox game)

I'm going to start this blog post by saying this: Sudeki is a better game than fable 3. Yes, it's true. This game is FAR better than anything fable 3 can offer you. However, chances are...you've never heard of it. In fact; this may very well be the first time you've heard about Sudeki.

For those of you who don't know: Sudeki is an rpg game that was developed, and released for the original xbox. Yes, the ORIGINAL xbox. So you'd better accept the fact that an xbox game is better than a "next-gen rpg" that was developed for the xbox 360. So, how is it that this game has managed to be a better experience than fable 3?

Well, the first reason is quit obvious for anyone who has played through it. The game is actually FUN. It offers delightful graphics to look at, has an interesting plot line, and in general is a rewarding gameplay experience. Something that fable 3 is not. Sadly, developer Climax, and their game never received the attention they deserved.

Why was this game forgotten is such a manner? Fable is what happened. The original fable was over hyped to a point in which it didn't matter if the game was good, or not. The hype fable enjoyed had guaranteed it's success. Don't get me wrong...the original fable was an OK game, but I don't think it was "the greatest rpg of all time." Other factors would have to include microsoft, and the fact that the game was not advertised enough.

To make matters worse? A planned sequel was canceled, and to this day...microsoft has yet to release the game on their xbox live service as an "xbox originals" title in the downloadable games section. Instead, somebody had made the bright choice of releasing a terrible game called "zapper."

Unbelievable.

Fable 4, and Lionhead.

Let's be honest with ourselves. Fable 3 was a complete piece of garbage. I won't bore you with the details, but many individuals were expecting great things from this game. It begs the question: what exactly is going on at lionhead? Obviously, we know that the situation is getting progressively worse, but what is the cause?

Ownership by microsoft? Development cycle is too short? Peter molyneux? Speaking of peter; why must he juice up his games in the fashion that only he can accomplish? I'd imagine these fable games would be much more playable if I wasn't thinking about all of the features that he promised, but are nowhere to be found in game. It's so bad; that peter has been dubbed peter the liar. Don't believe me? Type his name into google, and the word "liar" should appear briefly.

Ah, what a shame. Shame on microsoft for publicising this game, and not encouraging the development of REAL games. It's only a matter of time before lionhead is liquidated. Not unless they manage to make a complete turn-around, and stun us all.

Random thoughts: WHAT EVER BECAME OF MILO, AND KATE?! Fable 4 is going to be worse than fable 3. That concludes my current thoughts on fable 4.

The Wii 2, and how Nintendo may plan to unveil the successor to Wii at E3 2011.

The 3DS launch is imminent, and already the internet is ablaze with rumors of nintendo showing up at e3 2011 with the wii 2 in tow. It seems entirely plausible at this moment. The original wii has enjoyed a staggering amount of success, but is now being challenged by it's rivals; who are now showcasing motion based tech of their own.

It certainly would be a great strategic maneuver. While nintendo consoles have been know to lag behind in the graphical department; something that is innovative will undoubtedly give nintendo an upper hand once more. Another factor would have to be the growing presence of kinect. Microsofts own answer to the wii; has managed to make a dent on the wiis sales, and this may be a deciding factor in whether nintendo will choose to launch their successor earlier than the competition.

It'll be interesting to see what new innovation nintendo can bring to the industry, and as of right now; it seems HIGHLY likely that nintendo will show something at e3 2011 which will be in relation to their next console.

Xbox live Indie games.-- Joy Joy

Ah, what a fantastic game this is. It will bring you a great amount of fun for the small price of a dollar. Joy Joy is a twin stick shoot em' up, and one of the finest at that. In my opinion; it is only rivaled by other twin stick games that are produced by radiangames. Chances are that you'll become bored with all the fps shooters, and whatnot. This is exactly where a game like this will come into play. Bring a friend, and have an absolute blast.

Three games that NEED to be remade for Kinect.

--Snatcher
Seriously, this game is great, and it would fit perfectly with kinect. Why hasn't anyone mentioned this? WAKE UP PEOPLE!

--Black and White
The fact that this isn't on kinect is unbelievable.

--Myst
Think of how fun it would be to explore this world.

These, are great titles that would do so much with kinect, and yet they have all gone unnoticed. No remakes, no XBLA ports, no nothing. If the kinect continues to lack in great motion based experiences; it will go the way of 32X.

Micosofts biggest screw up: Not putting Child of eden in the spotlight.

Chances are; you have yet to hear anything about a little known upcoming game titled: Child of eden. This is a game that revolves around motion based gameplay, but the difference is in the gameplay itself. This is not a casual gaming experience. The game itself is an on rail shooter; in which the player overcomes diffrent menaces using the kinects motion capability.

Sadly, this game was brushed aside in favor of the more casual gaming experiences. While this has managed to thrust the xbox sales far beyong anyone would have expected; at what price has this been achieved? Xbox has lost the chance to truly show off what the kinect was truly meant for.

However, it seems that a cash grab has gotten the better of microsoft. (No surprise there.) Perhaps, they will learn from this mistake, but as of now...I see no improvement. One only need look at the catalogue of upcoming kinect titles, and make your own opinion.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite: G-level training Rajang guide!

You've managed to clear all G-level training up until this point. One monster stands in between you, and unlocking G-rank Black Fatalis. That monster happens to be Rajang. For the most part; Rajang is usually faced with other hunters at your side, and going one-on-one is usually avoided.

However, in G-level training; you are forced to battle Rajang in a solo battle against one of the most feared monsters in the game. Rajang himself is quite the powerhouse, and to make matters worse; he has a great amount of agility.

So? What's a lonely hunter to do about this? First, let's go over the pros, and cons of the battle.

Pros
--Rajang has reduced health.
--Lots of items to be discovered on the field, and use to your advantage.
--When the situation calls for it; you can always run.
--The overall area is lacking of lesser monsters.

Cons
--Items are scattered about, and it may lead to a confused hunter.
--You only get ONE chance at this. Any mistake will cost you the battle.
--The battle occurs in the old volcano. Watch your step and keep those cool drinks close by.
--When Rajang enters rage mode; the whole battle can be lost if one makes even the slightest mistake.

It seems like the odds are stacked up against you, and they are indeed. Do not worry yourself! I will provide a map to help you in this quest! What kind of map you ask? One that will show you the locations of every single item in the quest itself!

Here you go! Let's try this!

Indeed, I have managed to document the location of the items that appear in this training mission. With this; the overall quest will go more smoothly than you can imagine. However, this does not mean that you should relax. Rajang is no push over, and he certainly isn't going to cut you some slack.

Recommended weapons: Bow, or longsword.

NOTE: Enemies that appear in the quest can be carved for useful items. They are as follow:

--Area 1: Apceros=Raw meat
--Area 3: Melynx=Gourmet Fish
--Area 7: Bullfango=Supply flash bomb

TIPS: Always stay on Ranjangs left side, and panic dive only when necessary.

PSP NGP Media information.

The storage device themselves will either be 2GB, or 4GB. This custom media for the psp ngp will leave space for patches, and gamesaves. It does bring up a few questions.

Will the user be able to save the progress of his games on a third party memory device, or will that remain exclusive the "game card" itself? If the ngp does not support the ability to save your gamesaves on a third party device; it may be in attempt to thwart those who have created "hacked gamesaves."

It's simple. The psp ngp will support trophies. Sony does not want the general public acquiring large amounts of trophies via hacked gamesaves that are downloaded. It's understandable as to why sony is doing this, but it may turn out to be an inconvenience.

The novelty of Kinect is starting to wear off.

Yes, it's true. This happens to be the case with me, and possibly others who have bought the kinect on launch day. Why is this happening? The answer is simple. Kinect is lacking the proper titles that it deserves. Enough with the gimmicks. Give us an experience that actually takes advantage of what the kinect is truly capable of.

Microsoft has kept quiet about what future titles we can expect for the kinect. No information as to what will appear on e3 has been revealed, and they themselves are making sure that nothing is leaked to the general public. So, what exactly can we expect from them when e3 arrives? More dancing themed titles?

If microsoft does the right thing; we can expect some great, and innovative new titles that will give the player a whole new motion based gaming experienced. If not; we will be subjected to more dancing/singing titles that have no innovation to offer. It's a quick cash grab, but it comes at a price. Nintendo, and sony can easily make new motion based tech; that will certainly overthrow the kinect in a short amount of time. The kinect itself MUST have motion based experiences that can not be found on any other console; regardless of how advanced their motion based technology becomes. Otherwise, I see the kinect as a temporary win for microsoft.
