Batman (pt2 review)

Ok, my post yesterday talked about my first experience playing the new batman game - Arkham Asylum. (official site here)

and now this is pt. 2 which i'll go into more detail.

First off, the demo was only 1 mode - Challenge mode. Since the game isn't fully finished there were a little bugs in the graphics. That will get polished when it is done. The demo was only for PS3 (i'm looking fwd to the xbox demo). A friend and manager of gamestop told me they just got the demo in and I ran strait to it.

The fighting system is the main thing i was most impressed by. 1 button is worth a thousand words... errr ass kicking more like it. Its amazing how just the press of 1 button can do so much. They made it very simple and very enjoyable. Its never the same punch/kick either and its how you use the controller. Once you get the hang of it you can stack up a huge combo just using that 1 button and knowing how to move correctly. There is another button which is just amazing, the counter attack button, it is flawless. With that then pressing the normal attack button you can do so much. The fighting is really fast pace and nonstop so you have to keep on your toes and always remember to use your counter strike because you'll be facing against groups of bad guys and they all attack you from all sides. Again its all how you move in the game.

Its kind of hard to explain.

Lets say this bad guy comes up from behind and tries to kick you, press the counter button, you'll grab his leg turn around and back fist him (it varies) then throw him, you then, while in the same motion, can more to another guy and then hit him, and you can do this nonstop till they are all down. It sound easy enough but you can get in trouble if you aren't paying attention to guys around you. anytime your moving around someone can come up behind, side etc.. and get you.

This is the most exciting game i've ever played. I'm impressed how well this turned out. Again i don't know how the full game plays but the Challenge mode is amazing. BTW this mode is you in a prison block area fighting groups of guys (each time getting larger and smarter even weapons as you go)

You don't fight against any named villains, i'm very curios how the fighting them would be like.

There is also different modes you can select that allow you to see differently. I didn't play around with that to much, but one mode is a x-ray mode you can pin point the person's bone while attacking.

and of course you can throw your bat stars etc.. i didn't play with that to much either. I was to busy melee fighting, that's just how awesome it is, you forget about everything else lol

The game is on xbox, ps3 and pc. The CE is a bit expensive ($99.99 on xbox, you can get it cheaper off amazon link is below)
Bonus Items Include:
* Waynetech Batarang Storage Box.
* 14" In-Game Design Batarang (stand attached).
* Dr. Young’s Journal (50 page full color character encyclopedia).
* 2 Sleeve DIGI-Pack Including:
o Game
o Behind the scenes 5 chapter series DVD, including: interviews with Mark Hammil and Kevin Conroy.
* Exclusive Collector’s Edition Challenge Map DLC.

Idk about you, but i plan on getting the CE game... its just that good

awesome demo (pt. 1)

I just played the best demo of a game that isn't even finished yet...
Batman: Arkham Asylum

Never have i played a game with a fighting system this great. I'm lost for words atm, I knew it looked good but wow, its amazing. I hope i get another xbox by the time it comes out. this is one i cannot miss out on!

i'll post more later, i'm at work (yes, i kind of 'disappeared' and played this demo at gamestop lol)

Pt. 2 will come later with full details.

good morning

I hit lv78 last nite. If i kept going i could of hit lv79 in estimated 7.2hrs (i have a addon that gives me a rough idea how long it takes)

I'm kind of playing around with my layout. I'm moving a few things around, etc...

again... if you can donate a little because i need help w/ not only to eat but to get another xbox 360... i am really missing it.

I hope you all had a good weekend! (if anyone really reads this, if you do let me know leave a commit!)

take care and i'll see you later

back in the day...

Not many of you know this but i used to run a very sucessful linkshell (guild in FFXI) called Swords of Honor. I'm sitting here bored at work and looked at some old emails I had in my old email account and came across this. Its been years since I last played Final Fantasy XI. It kind of sucked you in and i was a bit addicted to it lol.

I made Swords of honor out of a fallen linkshell i used to be apart of, it blew up and even made me a little $$ from ads, etc... I found this on a old forum and thought i'll post it, why not.

... still trying to get $$

well, i only have $18 something on my Edgecard for gamestop... that is about $190 (after tax) i need to get to buy a new xbox (the arcade one) i've ran out of things to sell lol

i do have a extra controller i can sell i guess, since i'll be getting another w/ the system. not sure how much i can get that for.

I can also sell one of my Crate bass amps, its a comb with 1 15in speaker. It's still good, i only used it a handful of times. I was even thinking about selling my 5-string bass. I don't use either anymore really.

but...

you all can help simply by click those google ads... every click gets me a little $$ its not much but hey, i'll take it

or...

you can be a really nice person and donate any amount to me... don't make me drop to my knees and beg lol

Also, I saw some screenshots of Dead Rising 2... wow. I can't wait for that one, i saw them in the new gamer informer. also had a nice preview on bioshock 2, that looks good as well.

it looks to be a good year in games.

Starcraft 2
Splatterhouse
Dead Rising 2
Bioshock 2
Ghostbusters
Diablo 3 (? i haven't heard a date on it, is it this year?)
Batman
etc...

and i can't play these awesome games unless i get a new xbox 360!!!! (but for starcraft and diablo etc.. i gotz a PC) so come on, help a fellow gamer out... (now i'm on my knees)

looking foward to these...

I have always been a Ghostbusters fan since first seeing it when I was a kid. I've played all the crappy Ghostbuster games that were out back in the day... man they were crappy, more so now that I look back on them.

This game looks amazing. I've been waiting for this since I first heard about it and its finally coming out in June! Check this trailer:


Great isn't it?

Now, for all those that have played this game back when they were kids (not many know about this game, I can't believe that!) but this is one game that I spent many hours playing, over and over... I heard about this new one last year and I was like a school girl at a Backstreet show.

Enough talk, more Splatter


Preorders:

what will become...

Well, as you know from my other post; my xbox 360 had died... I'm going to try to fix it myself (no warranty) and the case. I've modded PCs before and well, why not my xbox? I won't do this to a new one w/ a warranty and I don't recommend anyone doing that...

I'll post photos and updates of the progress. It might take a little while to get it the way I have planned.

Now, to the left a little ways down you'll find a donate button from paypal. Pls if you can, donate; even if its just 1 dollar. This will help me out a ton not only to get a new xbox but help me out with all my house problems, etc...

Now, if you have a old xbox w/o a warrenty I recommend the following products to mod your case (do this only if you know what your doing, there are various guides around the internet):

....bored

Like my Logo? hehe


well, life w/o my 360 or WoW isn't the same... Hopefully i can get a new prepaid card for WoW soon.

I've been playing since '04, as my little WoW box down to the left states... I took a little break (leveling to 80 kind of drove me crazy lol) and started to do some other toons... then I decided to take a break all together... and the day I was about to come back was when my time was up... which is also the day my 360 died... it was Friday 13th... figures.. lol

anyway
Last nite I went w/ my friend Rance Adams (TXA/UPN 21 host) to help w/ covering a MMA fight by XKO. I did such a good job, the production ppl asked me to do not only those events but there other events like PCW (much like ECW)... so im excited about that. Rance was going to have me work more with him as well doing some video/music editing and being a camera guy on a few things.

well... just wanted to make a post... i'm bored sitting here at work.

To all my xbox 360 buds and people i've ran across... if your reading this, I'll return as soon as I get a new xbox or if i can fix this one. (going to try to do it myself.. what do i have to lose? its out of warranty anyway)

RE5

Its finally here!

The game looks sweet and amazing. I'll be for sure getting it once i get some $$ for it (for 360 of course hehe)
I'm even tempted to buy the RE5 xbox lol

Once I get it i'll be posting a full review of it... whenever that is lol

till then, get the game and see what you think of it yourself!

upcoming games of interest

I sold my copy of GTA IV awhile back, but I might have to buy it again. This looks pretty damn good. You can get your copy if you haven't yet here: Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned

Ok, enough of that.
moving on shall we?

I got some news,,, we i'm happy about it.
I beat Street Fight IV, now wait a min... I beat it many times, I've unlocked all characters and all that good stuff... but I beat it on Hardest w/o losing a match!!! yes, thats right... w/o losing. I'm proud of myself... (either clap or roll your eyes here)

I'm almost at 200+ wins online now...

well, i'm at work atm... so back to work i go. just wanted to make a little post about gta expansion that looks awesome and my sf4 update...

good morning

Well, its another day.


Monday, ironically is my Friday at work. Yup, my days off are Tues. & Wed.


I woke up today thinking, what do I want to do with my life. I really enjoy music but is it what I want? I'm not sure. I'm kind of lost on the whole thing. I'm starting to wonder where I am going and why.

Well, I guess I'll keep going day by day and see what comes to be.

Now, on another note. What the hell am I going to blog about lol. I've seen some of the other blogs around and wow. I'm not even sure what I'm doing here. I guess I'll just blog about random things... I have no idea.... Maybe I'll just list the things I see day by day or whatever... I'm not sure if my life is that interesting or even how on earth do I get people to read this etc...

I will say one thing... Some weird things happen around this house. I'm not sure if it is paranormal or what it is. I've had a knife sitting on a counter fly across the kitchen... yes,,, all the way to the other side. I have no way of explaining this... Also the random things that myself and Hall (yarnhall) have seen. Its very strange. Maybe i'll do a few blogs on what goes on around here...

Well as you can tell, I love wearing mask. My therapist finds this interesting lol. Yes I see a therapist. I also enjoy playing guitar, Jackson Guitars are my fav. brand. Besides enjoying music I also really enjoy working on computers. It's so relaxing and fun for me. I love to mod them and create wondering things w/ them. I also love video games... yes I'm a huge gamer. And i'm 1 of the 15million+ World of Warcraft gamers lol. Oh, that reminds me in 2 days Wrath of the Lich King is released! But i'm really hard on money... I think i only owe like $16 dollars or something like that. So i'll sell some dvds/cds. I preordered the Collectors Edition which is filled with goodies... I can't wait!!!!!

well ok then, this is a good start. I guess i'll keep doing this with this blog. Just say what every is on my mind etc... hope the reader (instert name) enjoys reading on my day to day things. I've never really kept up with a blog.. but i think i might like doing this once I get the hang of it. So bare with me and give me some support!!! maybe if i hear from people reading this it might give me the kick in the butt to keep going!

As the retarted policeman (youtube video star) says: "Byyyyeeeeeee!"
