Of course as everyone knows and has been all over the internet for days is the outage of Sony's Playstation Network. But everything that has been flying around with it is what has people confused and worried. Some people think it would be better to just pay a fee like what Xbox players are paying in order to get a better chance of this not happening again in the future (though if you know Xbox has had outages like this before in the past, it can happen to anyone). But then of course other's are panicking because they don't want to pay a fee for the Playstation Network, but they are not happy about the outages either. People are splitting like the red sea so to speak. They know what they want, but there are going to be sacrifices. In the long run, people are even concerned if this is something Sony is going to be able to come back from. Some people are worried this might be too much for Sony to come back from and that might be the end. Well, I am here to say the chances of Sony shutting down the Playstation Network for good is VERY slim. I seriously doubt they will just stop running it. Now, do I think they might start charging a fee to allow for better protection? I think it is definitely a possibility.

Many of you should remember from the original Mortal Kombat, friendship. It allowed you to finish the fight without being violent... Basically as if you shook the opponents hand and said, "Okay, we're cool now." Well, I kind of feel like that is what babilities are, as well. It is basically another way of embarrassing the opponent without really harming them. Now, I cannot lie... the babilities are so adorable!! I like seeing the baby versions of the fighters, it is so interesting! But of course the different versions of their babilities are really interesting as well, and they add to the character's personalities. 

Half-Life 2: Episode 3 finally getting announced? Is this too good to be true!? I have been a fan of Valve, the Half-Life series for a very long time, and as any other fan knows there have been false times where the third episode might get announced. The first time it had been hinted that a game for Black Mesa would come out before Episode 3, but now there is yet another rumor that Episode 3 may be getting announced in this year's E3. Of course I am holding out hope that this is actually true! There are apparently hints all over Portal 2, and unfortunately I cannot confirm or deny this because I have not play Portal 2 yet (unfortunately), but I really do look forward to seeing some hints about Episode 3 if I do get the chance to play Portal 2 soon. If Episode 3 is actually announced at this years E3 my little fan girl heart is going to go nuts, you better believe it.

But anyway, thanks for reading. :) I appreciate all the support! Take care.

For those who are excited for Portal 2 like I am you would like to know that Portal 2 is 10% off when you pre-order through Steam and it also comes with a free copy of Portal. Which of course you can give to a friend if you've already got the first copy (which I am sure you do if you are excited about Portal 2). So I suggest ordering through Steam right now because even if it is only 10% off it is savings! And everyone knows it is good to save money, especially for gamers, haha. But the trailer for Portal 2 has been so teasing and I really cannot wait until the release. Anyone else excited, or am I the only nerd heart out there that is fluttering? I like games that incorporate puzzles in them, especially when they do it around a funny little storyline like Portal does. I know a lot of people don't like puzzles like this, so I know they don't have a huge audience. But I am definitely one of those people that is so thrilled for the release. So, how many of you plan on gifting Portal to your friends to get them into this wonderful game? I hope some of you plan on it!! 

I entered a contest through YouTube to win a closed beta key into Battlefield: Play4Free and I actually ended up winning it!! So, without hesitation I jumped onto the website and downloaded the game. Where-as actually you don't actually... download it. But you get like an add-on it runs through? If that makes sense. Once it finished installing I loaded it instantly. It actually is not that bad! The graphics are pretty good, but I will say the shooting was very weird. It took some getting used to for sure. I don't know how many times I died before I finally got a kill on someone else. I don't know if it was the gun I was using, or what exactly the deal was, but it took a little bit. But once I got a hang of it I was able to start killing people, and I was actually having fun! It gets a little chaotic with some vehicles going around everywhere (and they are not always out of course), but it was a lot of fun! I definitely think I will be making a strong appearance into the Closed Beta more often to see what they end up changing as the beta continues and just continue to have fun with it of course.

Normally I like to end my article with three stories at least. But I am just going to put one of my YouTube videos up. I don't have a capture card or anything yet so I am just using Black Ops theatre mode, but I am hoping to get a capture card whenever I can afford it. :) Thanks for all the support!

So, as many of you know Bulletstorms release is just around the corner (February 22nd, 2011) and as many of you don't know that day just so happens to be my birthday! What better birthday present than some kick-ass but kicking? Of course, I am not here to talk about that! But I am so excited for this games release. It feels like something I have played before, though and I don't know how to feel about that completely. I think it might just be me thinking of something else, but I played the demo a couple of times through and I hope that it is really as refreshing as they are making it sound like right now. If it isn't, then I will be very disappointed. But, if this does not work it maybe there will be other games to come out and pick up the slack! Lets hope it just turns out to be as awesome as they are trying to make it out to seem.

Did you find yourself buying less games this past year? was it just not a good year for games, or did you find yourself playing games on your phone/iPad more often? It seems that the sales for actual video games is declining where as sales for app games has been going up. People are buying more leisurely games that they can play through their mobiles than the games that they need to sit down and play for hours. Of course, people are obviously still buying console/pc games, but it has decreased a little where as mobile app games sales have continued to increase. I don't see anything wrong with this, it means people are getting away from consoles and actually getting out more often. But I hope it also does not mean it will decrease in the quality of good console/pc games coming out. That is the last thing I want.

I will say this once, this trailer is not for the weak hearted. I sat there watching this, and by the end of the video I was crying. I know the comments will be coming, "Omg, you are such a wuss." But being a mother of a 8month old daughter it breaks my heart to see what happens! I cannot believe I was even able to watch the whole video, but I wanted to see what happens, and now I cannot get it out of my head. I cannot even begin to imagine what kind of story the game follows. If it follows the parents, someone else? I don't understand completely, but as of right now I don't know if I am going to be able to stomach playing this game; and I love playing zombie apocalyptic games! So, for this to effect me the way it did, and I am not sure whether or not I will play the game even is pretty strong. What do you guys think of this trailer? Too much? Too little? You love it and plan on playing the game? Let me know! :) I hope my opinion changes and I will be able to play it, bu

We will start off first. Twisted Pixel, the creators of 'Splosion Man have been working on a new project called The Gunstringer. Which is about a skeleton cowboy that is a marionette! The thing about this game is it is not just a normal game you can play. But it is actually a Kinect game so that you can get more into the game. It seems like it is going to be a little weird, but it also seems like it is going to be on a "track". Basically, the character will move and you can control the shooting, or whatever else needs to happen. But I think they also plan on making it more free form so you can use a controller, or something to get more control over the game. But it is still in the making and they are figuring it out as they go. Here is a video of their actual trailer. :) 

I am personally super excited about this and it looks really inventive. I look forward to seeing how things actually handle.

It looks like EA might be getting in trouble for their advertisement to get sales for Dead Space 2. They are not sure if they ESRB is going to step in because of the way the game was advertised using "moms", who actually look like grandmothers in most people's opinions. The way it was advertised makes it seem like they are trying to get kids to go behind their parents backs, or kind of "rebel" against their moms. This is why there is beginning to be an outrage over everything. Sure, most moms actually could care less and they buy their child every game anyway. But the way this one was advertised really has people wondering. Is the ESRB going to stick up for the kids, or are they going to put their foot down? It looks like this will be interesting to see how things actually go. But over‐all both sides of the fields are fighting tooth and nail for what they believe should happen. 

Either way, EA is not looking good right now unfortunately. They are getting bad publicity of for people who don't know of the companies (people who obviously don't play many games) things are not going to look too good.

Just to end my post on. This is obviously multiple images put together since it is the same girls except I think one is an older sister and one a younger. But I could be wrong about that. I thought this would be a cute way to end it. Angry Birds, in human form! Needless to say, I was all "Omg, so cute" about it... 

Thanks for reading! ♥

Getting the site together. :) Soon I will import news from the other site over here. :) Way excited!!
