Here’s some quick news for today
One console to rule them all.
An executive from EA has recently said he would like to see an end to the video game console wars. Well I’m not sure if he said "an end," but I do know the executive said they would like to see only one video game console on the market. Of course this has people talking, and asking "is a one console world for the better?" Some say "yes" others say "no" and some say "I don’t play video games get way from me." My opinion is we need the competition. I’m sure lots of people have thought of this. I mean if Sony (I’m not bashing Sony) had only the one console then it would have cost a lot of money to get one. EA is a good third party company, but they should stick to that, and not consoles. I’ll just say one thing. . . 3DO.
Fish the Fight?
Halo 3 might not be the end. Bungie has announced they are working on some more Halo titles, and some non Halo titles. I’ll start taking bets on if any will be for a MAC.
Here’s another story.
Sony is denying the reports about faulty 40 gig PS3. There have been some internet reports saying over 40% of the 40 gig PS3 would not read game disc. But a spokesperson for Sony says this is not true, and blames the reports on poor journalism.
NOTE: So far I have not said anything about faulty 40 gig PS3s. Yeah! All pro reporter go me. Oh, and to make me look even more pro just overlook the spelling and grammar mistakes.

Let’s Talk Assassin’s Creed.
The game is set to come out next week, and there has been a lot of hype and mystery to it. So, we’re going to dive under the covers, and take a look at some of the mystery. We all know by now the game takes place during the crusades. And you play as a assassin (duh.) In Assassin’s Creed you can be stealthy before you kill, but that does not mean you need to hide in the dark. You can walk around in the crowd, and sit on a bench to bled in. There’s also some strategy in the game. One good idea before you kill a target is to scope out the city. How do I do this you may ask? Well it’s really quite simple. Just climb a high building. One up there you get a good look of the land. You’ll be able to see where some of the guards are, look for the escape route or just enjoy the view
There are four main weapons in the game: Your sword, throwing knifes, a small sword for really close rage combat, and a hidden blade so you can seek up on your targets and wipe them out. Now we were chatting about the crowd earlier did I mention they have a good role in the game play? I kind of did? Ok well listen to this; The crowd can help or hinder you. Say you kill a target, and some guards are after you. You are going to need to make a quick escape, so people in the streets can be in your way. But don’t worry you can knock them down just like in your favourite action movie. If they are not in your way they can get in the way of the guards and help you make a clean escape.
Remind me some time after Assassin’s Creeds comes out to do a review on it. I’ll have to rent it. Then maybe I can find out about the SCI FI elements to it. Ubisoft Hopes to make sequels to Assassin’s Creed. They are going to wait to see if the first one finds an audience and is successful. I just have to say I’m glad they are waiting to see how the first one does. It’s better the calling Assassin’s Creed the first in an epic trilogy. Anyone remember Advent Rising?
Moving On. . .
It might not be five years before we see something new form Nintendo. President of Nintendo Satoru Iwata said "We are always preparing for new hardware so that we can launch whenever we determine we should do so, however, scheduling for a rather fixed launch date four years from today regardless of future changes in the industry and the market, appears to be too inflexible an approach to us. We are always studying and working on what the new hardware must become in the future, but we are also monitoring changes in circumstances in order to act
flexibly."
As for Nintendo’s hand held the DS it might be around for a while. Nintendo says they have no shortage of ideas for the system.
Manhunt 2 will still keep it’s M rating despite some of it’s content. The violence for the sequel was toned down and stuff was taken out. However, hackers found a loop hole to find some the band content. Now we all know how hard it must have been for hackers to get their hands on the content. Rockstar would never hind anything in a game. Would you excuse me for a second I’m going to go get some hot coffee.
Are you ready to rock? Well get in line early or pre order your copy of Rock Band. EA has recently said all things are a go for the Nov. 20th launch, but there might not be enough copies to meet the high demand. So a few people might have to wait before they can rock out.

some news for Oct 30
The Wii ain’t no fad bitches
Says the President of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime. Of course he did not use those exact words. In a recent interview with the San Francisco Chronicle Fils-Aime said " We are finding that consumers are playing a wide range of software much beyond Wii Sports. People are playing their Wii consoles frankly more today than the day we launched
The Reggantor also expressed his like of BioShock he says the game was really well done, and here’s an interesting little kicker. He also would like to have Halo on the Wii. And questions the sanity of anyone who would not want to have Halo on their consoles. He also added if you don’t read this blog a million kittens will be shaved and thrown into the sun.. . .Ok I made that last one up.
In Other Nintendo news it seems we can’t go anywhere with out getting hit with some sort of Super Smash Bros. Brawl news. Whether it’s to the bathroom or the funeral home we always here something new about SSBB. I’m sure we have all heard the news about the releases date being pushed to Feb. 10th, King DEE DEE joining the cast. Now We have even more news about the game. But don’t worry this news is quite interesting.
SSBB is going to feature a level editor. That’s right Fanboys I said a level editor. This will allow gamers to choose the background pattern, stage sise, platform placement and music. Players will be able to send out custom made levels to friends, well wishers and pals. But here’s the icing on the turnup. Level makers can submit their creations to Nintendo which will then feature best level designs on a daily basis.
The entertainment and devices division of Microsoft (responsible for the 360 and games. Just letting you know for the record) Are reporting an increase of $165 million to their quarterly profits. All thanks to the wonderfully kind, and might add single Master Chief.
So, well know licensing issues cause a lot of problems, high gas prices, war and global warming. Well now licensing issues are causing the delay of SingStar for the PS3. The game was set for a December release, but now it has been pushed back to a further time. Course you licensing issues can’t you give us a break just once?
In other PlaySation 3 news we can look out for the new 40 gig model to hit store shelves on Nov. 2nd. The 40 gig version won’t have backwards compatibility with PS2 game and only two USB ports instead of four, but get this it will be a little quieter. It’s all very simple you see the 40 gig PS3 uses a smaller, cooler running 65 nanometer Cell processor which results in reduced power consumption (135 watts down from 200) and external noise that the machine gives off.Yeah.

BioShock Review.
I have played a bit of BioShock. Not as much as some people, but I have also seen a lot of the game in action. Enough to give the game a review.
BioShock is just your standard first person shooter/adventure with some RPG elements, and nifty powers you can shoot out of your hand at enemies. Wait What? We have not seen too many games that blends in genres like BioShock. Systemshock, and Deus Ex are good examples. I haven’t had a chance to play Deus Ex or Systemshock, but they have received a lot of critical praise. Trust me. And they have one thing in common with Bioshock. . .You’ll be willing to run over a monkey for your chance to play it.
The game takes place in an underground city called Rapture. I had a dog called rapture he bit me once then ran away. Life in Rapture is not like life in any of the underwater cites you have been to on vacation. Something funny has been going on at Rapture. So funny that people in the city want to kill you as soon as they see you, and some can throw fire at you, while others just like to shoot you. When you first arrive in Rapture you are guided by a nice little voice over the radio you fills you on the underwater city, and tells you what to do, and helps you upgrade and gain powers where can shoot electricity and fire out of your hand, as well as other awesome fun powers too.
One enemy to fear is the Big Daddy. They are strong, unforgiving, and weird looking. You only have to fight a Big Daddy if you attack it first. Oh and when you need to take Adam upgrades from a Little Sister. Little Sisters are these weird girls whom the Big Daddy protects. And If you want to make it anywhere further in the game you have to kill a Big Daddy to get at the Little Sister. But here’s the eye spiting good part you can to chose to harvest or rescue the little Sister. Both give you Adam, but you get more if you harvest them. And what’s more fun then harvesting a Little Sister?
In conclusion BioShock is a really fun unique game that is well worth it’s $60 dollar price tag. That’s how I’m going to review the games is by the price tag. If a game cost $60.00 but only plays like it is worth $30.00 I’ll let you know.
