Hideo Kojima and the very selfish PS3

Today I'm going to talk about two things. The Playstation and Hideo Kojima. This guy has created one of the most famous games in the world. But he's a little loony. To start with, he's affiliated with PlayStation and Konami. I'm sure all of your a familiar with the Play Station, or the PS, if you will. When the PS first came out, I was instantly won over. The graphics were amazing, and I would spend hours at a time playing "Spyro the Dragon" and "Crash Bandicoot." Those games were awesome, and eventually the PS1 came out. It was smaller than the original PS, and it was milk white instead of grey. Not only did it play old PS games, but it came out with newer games, more mature games like "Metal Gear Solid" and "Syphon Filter". This is where Konami comes in. They were making games back when the Atari was sweet. But anyways, Hideo Kojima created Metal Gear Solid for the PS1 back in 1995. THIS GAME WAS THE STRANGEST, MOST REALISTIC GAME FOR THE PS1. And everybody loved it. Sure, it had a strange storyline (one clone brother code-named "Solid Snake" has to kill his brother who is using a terrorist weapon called "Metal Gear", a bipedal weapon. Oh, and I forgot to mention his brother's name was "Liquid Snake"), but the graphics were cool and the game-play was really cool, but came as a little surprise. Like at the beginning of the game when you have to enter a warehouse while it's snowing, and if your standing instead of crawling guards will see your footprints. Or when you have to use your cigarette to see lasers so you can bypass a tunnel to proceed through the game. I know, pretty cool for the PS1. But the thing that really messed with people's head were the plot twists. Like when "Greyfox" cuts off "Ocelots" arm, and in the second game he replaces it with one of "Liquids" arms, and "Liquid" takes over his mind. The game is really strange, but millions of people (I'm not even kidding) became fans of the game. And even though I own an Xbox-360, I love the series from my old PS2 days. But here's the problem for fans of MGS who have and Xbox-360. MGS4, the coolest PS3 game ever, is exclusive for PS3. That's it. Done. Brown bread. No "Old Snake" for 360. THAT MAKES ME SO MAD!!!! Whether it's Hideo Kojima's fault, Konami or PS3, I have one thing to say. Don't be so darn selfish. Because if the game came out for the Xbox 360, tons of people would buy it. Even people who think the games called "Solid Snake" instead of "Metal Gear Solid."

(p.s, I have tips for PS3 and Wii games too.)

Why The Wii Is Lame

Doing another post, and today it's on the Wii. Before we start, I just want everyone to know that if you put all caps on the Wii, it comes out WII (world war two?). Which MUST mean that Nintendo likes the Nazi's (JUST KIDDING). You know what, that was actually pretty stupid. Better spend time making up better burns for the Wii.
But anyways, it's time for the latest system from Nintendo to go on the chopping block. And the only real problem I have with it is really HUGE; but first I should start with what I like about it. Well, I can't play favourites, but if I could I would say the PS3 only barely beats the Xbox 360, and that Wii is in dead last.
I like the use of arm movements with the controller, and they have some good games on it, like "Pikmen," "Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles," "Madworld" and "Red Steel". I also like the "movement" aspect of the Wii, but theirs something I really hate about it. EVERY TIME THEY COME OUT WITH A NEW GAME IT'S ALMOST MANDATORY TO BUY ANOTHER CONTROLLER ADD-ON. It's stupid, and just a gimmick they use to make up for low sales. And another thing.
The games on the stupid thing are HORRIBLE. Theirs a certain level of hard-core some people would hope fore, like me. I would love to play like, Turok on the Wii. The only really exciting games they have are the Rockband games, and the graphics are so ugly it doesn't do any justice. THE GAME'S THEY PRODUCE ARE THE KIND OF GAME'S MY MOM OR NINE YEAR OLD SISTER WOULDN'T EVEN PLAY BECAUSE THE'RE SO CHILDISH AND STUPID.
And that makes me really mad. Because I would love to play all the cool games of the PS3 and the Xbox 360 on the Wii. But I couldn't anyways, because PS3 and 360 are selfish, and the memory and graphics on the Wii are so lame.
I mean, do they try to make it look like pixelated cartoons on purpose? Well, if I keep going on like this I'm gonna pop a blood vessel. Still can't give you my achievment or gamerscore count, but I'll get on it soon.

P.S. Graphics on the Wii are horrible.

Blaming 360

Okay I'm here again for my post of the week, and today's fun fact is......I totally forgot to write down my gamerscore and achievements so I can't tell you them....yet. But anyways, today I'm gonna have to make something up as I go along.
So umm, how about the dashboard. Pretty cool. Especially the new one. The one that took up all of my memory, and left me with 47 KB. And I'll tell you why they do that. Or at least why I think they do it.
I have an Xbox-360 Arcade Edition. It comes with a horrible little memory card, with not very much memory (not sure about how much). If you buy a normal Xbox-360 (pro) they give you a hard-drive. TONS OF MEMORY is on that sucker, and I'm going to have to buy one. And here's the catch. It's about fifty dollars.
FIFTY DOLLARS. It's more expensive then a controller, which is like forty bucks (RIP-OFF). This is why I'm going to talk about it now. Because as I was writing this, I just realized that the PS3 comes with 80 gigs of memory, and two controllers. Xbox only comes with a lame memory card (or somewhat better hard-drive), and ONE cheesy controller that makes you waste hundreds of dollars on BATTERIES.
Unless you buy a wire thingy (don't know what it's called, never spent the time to find out either) to put onto your controller, which costs about twenty bucks. Not so bad, but it still makes me mad. Look at this, I'm freakin' ranting about controllers now. Dang. But anyways, I need to go out and buy a hard-drive now.
So instead of buying a brand new videogame, or several older ones, I have to buy memory, just so I can play them when I eventually get around to getting another game.
Right now, I'm loving the PS3.

Remakes

I'm posting again, and this time I'm talking about ducks. Not really though, actually it's about games. Games that are being re-made and put on another system. Normally it doesn't piss me off that much. When they re-made the original "Metal Gear Solid" games and made better editions I was happy.
When they re-made Resident Evil for Game-Cube, and Resident Evil 4 from Game-Cube to PlayStation 2. Now that their turning Xbox-360 games into PS3 games, I'm getting a little mad. And I understand why their doing too. Take "Bioshock" for instance. It was the best game of 2006, and I've actually played this game.
Frankly, this is the best flippin' game on the Xbox-360. Everybody who played it loved it. And now their putting it on the PS3 and jacking up the prices. It's probably gonna make a ton of money, but that doesn't bother me so much.
Its the exact same game, but on a different console. They recently released "Chronicles Of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena", and its a great game. Not only does it have a re-make of the original game, "Chronicles Of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay", but its for PS3 and Windows. Which is pretty sweet for PS3 and Windows, because the original game, "Escape from Butcher Bay", was only available for the Xbox.
But the thing that does make me mad, is when they take a good game and change it completely, making it better and putting it exclusively on one system. And the only two games I can think of that did that; right off the top of my head would be "Ninja Gaiden", and "Ninja Gaiden 2". The original "Ninja Gaiden" was on the Xbox, and it was a pretty good game.
Hardcore, but pretty good. They decided to remake it after about a year though, and they titled it "Ninja Gaiden Black". When the PS3 came out, they remade it again, took the storyline from the original "Gaiden" and from "Black" and added weapons to make the perfect version. They named it "Ninja Gaiden Sigma", and it was pretty good. I have an Xbox-360, so I wasn't able to play it until recently, but I recently learned their making "Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2" (I know, a mouthful), and it is WAY BETTER than the original Xbox-360 version.
New weapons, more storyline, extra characters and a Vs mode, the game is way better than the original. And that's what's pissing me off, because I'm not going to be able to play it. I don't know why it's bothering me so much, BUT I also don't know why they won't just add all that stuff in the first place and release for all necessary consoles.
It's stupid. And this is my rant for the week (which is also my biggest one yet.)

Don't forget to ask for gaming tips.

Where Did The Magic Go?

I've noticed that recently games on the Xbox 360 aren't what they used to be. I mean, don't get me wrong. They've had some awesome releases lately, but it's been missing something lately. I suppose I should say: "Where Did the Magic Go?"
When I first started play Xbox 360, I was having a lot of fun. Army of Two, Kane and Lynch: Dead Men, Turok, Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, Lost Planet. Those games were amazing, both story and graphic wise. I recently played Afro Samurai, Resident Evil 5 and Matt Hazards Eat Lead. And I noticed something. It doesn't have the same feeling of excitement.
I dunno, maybe I'm just being weird but this is my comment for today. Remember, if anybody needs help with a game, just comment.
