I just got an email from Amazon saying that my GTA IV has shipped. Sweet! Then I notice some words next to the title in brackets, they read "[PLAYSTATION]"....
FUCK YOU AMAZON!!!!!!
Now if this is true, will EB trade this unopened PS3 copy for an Xbox 360 copy? I hope this is just a typo. BTW, I checked my preorder item, and it was just listed as "GTA IV". They changed something up on me, it's not the exact same item. I'm 99% sure I ordered an Xbox 360 copy (I remember thinking "lol, it would suck if I ordered a PS3 copy. That would be hilarious...") , but I have no solid proof. This sucks.
The day when Overgrow.com went down was a sad day for marijuana cultivators worldwide. Although I've never grown marijuana, I find the science of it, very interesting, thus, I was familiar with Overgrow.
Recently, The Growery opened it's doors. I can foresee this being a big hit (no pun intended) within the online marijuana cultivation forums.
After noticing a change in focus over a Misintentions, I have a new found inspiration to write a pseudo review (edit: rant) about a game I've pretty much handed my life over to as of the past couple months, Battlefield 2. I already know what you're thinking, "What the hell, that game is like 10 YEARS OLD!". You know what, fuck you. I just recently acquired enough money to buy it, so this is a new thing for me! Speaking of which, the price is a huge plus, costing only $10 at this point.
First of all, anyone that knows me, knows that I don't like paying for software. This is the main reason why I haven't played this game until now. A secondary reason is that when the game came out, my computer wasn't able to play that game very well (640x480, details low, view distance low, low... low..., you get the picture). When the game first came out, I did however play the single player a bit, as well as playing on some online 'alternative' servers (which sucked btw). Don't ask how I acquired a copy.
Recently though, after picking the game up on a whim, I started the game up with full details and resolution; my computer ran it like a champ! Pretty sweet I must say. Graphics aside, this game rocks. Anyone looking for a 'standard' fps experience will probably be pretty disappointed though, partly because of people like me. You see, I like helicopters... a lot. Every time I play, I whore them to no extent, massacring peon after peon laughing the whole time. I just can't get enough. I rarely pick up any other vehicle unless I am forced to. I know that I don't play the game "right", but I think "Why do I play games in the first place?". The answer to that question is: fun. Choppers are just too much fun for me to pass up. If I don't grab them and have hella fun, someone ELSE is having boatloads of fun instead of me...
The game has to have a major workforce (infantry/tanks/etc). Unfortunately, people that see the light like me, sometimes take the choppers and don't give me a chance. That's ok I guess. Other than the fact that the infantry SUCKS, its not so bad... The shooting mechanics suck horribly. It's almost impossible to hit anything that isn't standing completely still. Usually I just find myself guarding a flag because I know if I happen to venture out too far, a helicopter or plane will hone in on me and blow me to pieces without a second thought. Enough about the shitty part of the game.
Really, I can't find much else to say about the game. I play the game more as a helicopter game than a war game. I do help cap flags and provide support for my teammates(I AM a team player, don't get any ideas!), but I just can't bring myself to do anything other than flying/gunning(for the heli).
So in conclusion, if you ever get bored and feel like killing mass amounts of (computerized) people, give Battlefield 2 another look. Preferably, from the seat of a helicopter.
Most of these shots just look inhuman. Just picked up Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 for 360. Still the same badass gameplay as the old Winning Eleven series, but it doesn't seem as if they've really updated anything. The graphics are sharper (obviously), but beyond that, it seems to be about the same. I just need to figure out how to swerve like these guys in the video, and we'll be in business...
