Gears of War 3 Beta : My Thoughts.

letsgoblues91 — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 16:28:38 +0000

IF you were like me yesterday, then you spent the majority of the early day on twitter trying your hardest to get a beta code for this game. With 1000s of people doing the same thing, your odds were pretty slim. Luckily I ended up getting a code around 3 pm CST.

I am by no means a good player at Gears. I quit playing the first 2 very early after getting them because I was so awful. With this beta, it has been no different, I usually can only get 2-3 kills a match compared to 9-10 deaths. Still though I am enjoying my self.

The graphics on this game are amazing to say the least, Epic did an amazing job with the visuals. I’m sure there will be improvements as this isn’t even the full game. I would have to say the same thing about the audio. The sound effects sound great on my HDTV.

The gameplay in this series while unique still is very hard for me to get the hang of. I do however still enjoy playing the game. The controls from what I can tell mirror the older games almost to a tee.

Overall, this beta has been enjoyable and it’s only been less then 24 hours. Hopefully I can get decent and throw my awful skill out the window.

If you want to play the beta with me my GT is Tarasenko x 91

I will be posting a video on my youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/beanman25

Nintendo 3DS this SUNDAY!!!!

letsgoblues91 — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 21:14:03 +0000

As most of you know, Nintendo’s newest portable system goes on sale in the US this Sunday (March 27th). I personally won’t be getting it that day as I ordered mine off of bestbuy.com and mail doesn’t come on Sunday.

Many of the reviews that have came out thus far are showing thumbs up for the system and the majority of the launch titles. I decided to go with Pilotwings Resort as my first title.

After I spend some time with post the system and game, expect a detailed review up here on both!

Those classic n64 wrestling games.

letsgoblues91 — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 03:16:59 +0000

I’m sure most of you who read this know what I am talking about. Those classic wrestling games like no mercy,wcw revenge, wrestlemania 2000, and all of the rest. I hooked up the old pikachu n64 just to play these games, and in my opinion they are way better then the games that THQ puts out now. Nothing says fun like d lo brown vs the blue Meanie in a cage match.

I have already uploaded one no mercy match on my YouTube channel and plan on upping more. YouTube.com/beanman25 is my channel! if you guys have any match requests, feel free to tell me on here or on YouTube.

What are you looking more forward to? 3DS or Sony’s codenamed NGP?

letsgoblues91 — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 22:58:04 +0000

It’s been a while since I have posted something, but this is too good of a question to not ask.

Sony just announced the PSP2 codename NGP today. Nintendo has the 3DS releasing in March.

Which one are you looking more forward to?

I would have to go with the 3DS just because I really think Nintendo went above and beyond in getting it to have glasses free 3d capabilities. Plus nothing beats playing Ocarina of Time in 3D!

Call of Duty : Black Ops

letsgoblues91 — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 04:08:20 +0000

I have had the game since launch, so I figured now would be a good time to write out my thoughts. I haven’t done much of the campaign (3 missions), but I like what I have played so far. I haven’t touched zombies yet, although I have heard many good things about it. As for the multiplayer, I have spent a bit more time on that. I am currently a level 36 sporting a .96 K/D. I’m going to take a wild guess and say that my stats aren’t very good. I seem to play well when playing with people on my friends list, but outside of playing with them I am absolutely TERRIBLE.

Post a comment if you have any tips to share, or if you want to play some CoD with me!

Kinect for XBOX 360

letsgoblues91 — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 16:56:37 +0000

The Kinect peripheral launched today. I for one was skeptical about this along with all of the titles that released with it. After reading a few reviews of the Kinect camera itself along with some of the games, I decided that I will be getting it.

Hopefully within the next 1-2 weeks I will purchase it. I will be doing reviews of the games and posting them here.

If you are like me, then you are on pins and needles waiting for next Thursday to arrive. October 7th marks the opening of the 2010/2011 NHL season. This day has always been one of my top 3 favorite days of the year.

Brett Favre retires?

letsgoblues91 — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 16:42:11 +0000

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/early-lead/2010/08/report_brett_favre_to_retire_f.html

As I’m sure most of you heard on ESPN or on the radio this morning, it was reported that Brett Favre had been telling people that he will be retiring from the NFL. I personally won’t believe this until I don’t see him playing come week 1. This is still very interesting news nonetheless. What are your thoughts on the whole Favre saga?

Lebron decides to join the Miami Heat

letsgoblues91 — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 17:27:36 +0000

So, LeBron made it official last night on ESPN. He announced that he will bring his talents to South Beach and join Wade and Bosh.

I personally think this was the best choice he could have made. This in my opinion gives him the best chance of taking home multiple championships.
