2017 is now here and gaming stands on interesting peak where the road can continue to up but it can also fall quickly as well. 2016 was fill with a lot of downs for gaming and the Big 3 Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft are at a point where they can shape the future. Now as a gamer I want to throw my 2 cents into the ring and express my concern and thoughts for what they can do improve.  Now let us get to it.

So I like to game a lot and when gaming went online it was like a gift from above.  However that was not the case online gaming quickly became a place of anger and hate.  This only got worse when consoles adopted online multiplayer.  Now everyone has headsets and vents their frustrations at ally or enemy.  I truly walked away from online games when after a game of halo 3 that my team won I received several messages from my team mate, who were complete strangers,  telling me I suck, I shouldn’t  play, and to go kill yourself.  Now I reported them for harassment and then found the reason why my kill to death (KtD) ratio was less than there’s. Needless to say unless my friends wanted to play from that day forward I stayed away from online multiplayer. Every now and then I may venture back but it’s never with a game that has a high “try hard” population.  Now what does story has to do with the title well because of this I and my new exploration into ...

My top 5 games are not top 5 over all this will be done by generation starting with the Nintendo and ending with the this generation I will also do my top 5 PC games. The 8bit era The Legend of Zelda Super Mario Bros. 3 Kirby's Dreamland Final Fantasy Duck Hunt The 8 bit era for me was my childhood my older siblings and cousins where the ones who introduced me to these games and I would go back and later and I just love them for what. the top 2 just seem to be staples in most top game lists. Kirby is just a game I fell in love with the whole eating and steeling and enemy's powers was awesome. now Duck Hunt is on here because of playing it with my dad 16 bit era Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Chrono Trigger   Final Fantasy II aka Final Fantasy IV   Super Mario World Sonic the Hedgehog 2 This era is when I fell in love with the rpg. Again their are a lot of stap...

So my life has been crazy sense the last post and that has not allowed me to post any thing in the last 3 months for that I am sorry. So I'm doing an update with hope that I can at least do one a week. I am also looking into a video Review for the figures that will be posted here and to YouTube as well.  So let break this up shall we in to 3 categorize Movies, Games, TV, Comics and Figures.  OK now we will start with... Movies   The only movie I've seen that I think is worth talking is The Avengers. This movie was amazing and is a must see for every one. all the actors did the roles justice  The only one I was nerves about was Mark Ruffalo and he did a great job as Bruce Banner. This movie is a must see so go and see it Games  OK in the games their haven't been to many games I have been playing i picked up Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and now I'm playing Fable Heroes. Both Games are really good for different reasons. If you are an epic fantasy fan pick ...

So this week I picked up Halo Anniversary and I started playing it and the initial feeling of nostalgia wore off after a holly crap that grunt exploded and took out those two elites and the 4 grunts moment where I try out the new skull I got to thinking. Now I love Halo CE but as I play this game I realize that the only thing they took from Reach was the graphics and they are B E A U T FUL. However the A.I. got no improvements your allies are idiots that if left to drive a vehicle will run you over. the enemies are just as bad I'm not breaking a sweat with hunters at all. I now Under stand why the game got such low reviews because I expect more from now than I did then. don't get me wrong I still love the game and I'm still trying to figure out some of the games  hidden things but it brings us to my point I being to have a problem with RE's.   So after realizing my slight disappointment with this RE-release I decided to look up some news on a toy line that ha...

I only last night realized it’s been over a week sense I last wrote a blog and to you my readers … sorry. I just finished my summer internship so I spent Friday and Saturday in a pizza induced comma Sunday I remember that StarCarft 2: Wings of Liberty came out soon at the time in stories now. So I found me a copy of StarCarft and Broodwars and played the campaign again and I was lost in this until last night. I then took a break caught up on my comic this week. So here what I think I love this game  but by episode 6 level 4 I’m little aggravated and trying not to just cheat a win (by the way if I reviewed 5s the both of them).  I’m looking forward to getting SC 2 expect the review next month and Halo: Reach in September (tentative schedule). On the SC2 I’ve seen some of the trailers and WOW the cut scenes look amazing. So I feel the need to say this Blizzard get off you brilliantly creative asses and make a CG film either for WOW of SC either or both is fine by me.  On ...

So I figured this need too be shared so I must first say CALLING ALL WII OWNER PAY ATTENTION. Nintendo has announced the Wii Games Summer 2010. This is a Gaming contest that can win you prizes and a trip to LA for the Championships. I found this at G4tv.com and though I would share it with you for more info on the games check out their site here . I highly recommend all Wii owners to get on this and have some fun.

So while I trolled along my favorite gaming new sites I found this bit of bad news of at G4tv.com . The greatly asked about and very missed from this year E3 was Milo the AI game for the Kinect (Natal at the time it was demoed) is just a Technical Demonstration. I'm not going to lie this was the only reason I would of bought Kinect other than the wireless voice remote. Now my list of games for the Kinect is down to Ubisoft's Fitness game (forgive me if I don't remember the title). This news I think will honestly hurt the sales of Kinect, but this is still the launch who knows what the future holds for it, but with Lionhead not currently producing anything for the Kinect, I.E. the talk about Fable 3 features that are either not their or not finished and now no Milo Boy Adventurer (which is to only title I can think of for this game). To wrap this up I think we've seen the beginning of the age of the casual gamer and no sir I don't like it. So I say "R.I.P Milo y...

Sense it grad appearance at the Microsoft press conference Kinect has done one thing in the news and that's countless articles about how much it will cost.  Most of the retailers (Amazon.com, Gamestop, etc) have listed the device as $149.  Now Microsoft online store has also listed as 149. G4TV.com's The Feed has reported that their is an no official price announcement. But when will we see a price announcement. 1up.com reported that we may see an announcement as late as Gamescon. My thoughts on this are Their are a few things Microsoft need to do here with this. 1st don't pack this thing with out the old Xbox 360 adapter. Yes that right it has a special port that was built in to the Slims but not the older 360's.  2nd Bundles yes sell the unit with out games, and consoles but also make bundles with game an consoles. The more bundle options the better. 3rd please for your sake don't stick with the 149 dollar price. Now their is a rumor out their that this th...

Ok so this will be my 1st of many reviews for this blog. And this time I’m looking at Transformers: War for Cybertron (WFC). But before I get in to the game let me tell you about my rating system. I will do a five point scale with five being the highest and one being lowest. I will rate a game on different thing like: Story, Game play, Graphics, etc. So let get started with my review of Transformers WFC. Story The Game in divided in to two parts Decepticons and Autobots. You can start the game with either one but it is recommended that you start with Decepticons. The Decepticons story is the search for dark energon. Take charge of characters like Megatron, Starscream, and Soundwave as they tear through Autobot army to reach their goal. The Story is a little lake luster but it does show just how fully evil Megatron is. The Autobots story you take follows Optimus Prime as he rallies Autobots to save Cybertron form the Decepticons. This story is more fulfilling than the Decepticons st...

Ok so here are a taste of the games that caught my attention and the studios they’re being released by. I will pick a few gems that I like by each studio and talk about them more in depth and how I feel about them. Activision: • DJ Hero 3D (3DS) • Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock (PS3, Wii, X360) Bethesda Softworks: • Brink (PC, PS3, X360) • Fallout: New Vegas (PC, PS3, X360) • Hunted: The Demon's Forge (PC, PS3, X360) • Rage (PC, PS3, X360) Capcom: • Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 (PS3, X360) • Dead Rising 2 (PC, PS3, X360) • Dead Rising: Case Zero (X360) • Marvel Vs.

OK now that day one is done lets talk about what was done. Microsoft came in showing new exclusive titles and new franchises and the new Kinect. EA showing their strong sports line up and Bioware's new MMO. Ubisoft showed their off many of their new games and old IPs. Their were several pros and cons to these conferences and before I get to my thoughts on these conferences Pros Microsoft - Halo Reach and it new space battles - Gears of War 3 and 4 player Co-op - Fable 3 game play trailer and a look at the villain - Metal Gear Solid Rising game play - Partnership with ESPN EA - Star wars: Old Republic Trailer called hope - New shooter Dead Space 2, Medal of Honor, and Crysis 2 - Loyalty Programs Ubisoft - Rez 2 - Assassin's Creed brotherhood - Ghost Recon: Future Soldier - Raving Rabbids - Rayman Origins Cons Microsolf - Kinect games rip off the Wii library - Lack of Milo like games that interact and respond to you EA - over hyping their EA Sports...

So i guess the big thing i need to announce is the blog has a new name it is now the Nerd Word. Speaking of new name (that ladies and gentleman is a segue) Project Natel has been given a name and it will be known as (drum roll please) Kinect. I'm not a huge fan of this i would of love something simple like Microsoft Play but no one asked me. I got my news from this link http://www.pcworld.com/article/198739/kinect_what_we_know_so_far.html?tk=hp_blg As for the meaning to the word Kinect it sounds like a play of Kinetic (kinetic |kəˈnetik adjective of, relating to, or resulting from motion.) and connect. I guess this is suppose to be clever I don't know at lest it better than Sony's Move (I really liked Arc as a name for that but again I'm not the person they go to for this stuff ). I figured I'd Share my thoughts on this I'll do more as I learn more form E3

With E3 just around the corner I've been keeping my ear to the ground on what the latest video game trends are. The biggest thing coming out now is 3D. Don't get me wrong I like going to the Movies and see them in 3D when I can but what Sony may be proposing by adding 3D too their games may cost the average person another $12,000 TV just to play these games. But their are so many other directions you could take gaming in. Sony is one of the 1st to companies to work on a 3D TV which is ok as an added function. Then Sony announces that several new game like Kill Zone 3 or Kill Zone 3D. Also Nintendo announces the 3DS witch will have 3D but it wont be the core of game play on the hand held. Now their are rumors that Microsoft is going to announce 3D, and I honestly hope not. I'm a big fan on immerse game play when the Wiimote came out I said that will change gaming and I was right. Because Sony matched it with the Move and Microsoft took it to the next level with Natal (s...
