This game is just so fun, and every time you die, you learn something, and the layout of this game allows you to try different gameplay methods to defeat enemies, stealth, speed, etc.<br /><br />2. I found that the gameplay for an FPS game which is using abilities like these is absolutely perfect, and found myself wishing i could use them in other games.<br /><br />3. AI - now this is where stuff gets complicated, because if you saw the AI in FEAR, they had an enclosed space, and they used it unbelievably well, whereas in Crysis the AI characters have "too much" of an arena, so sometimes stupid stuff happens.<br /><br />Let me explain...at some points you will see the AI do some incredibly clever things, for instance... i saw some cover, which i had to crouch behind, i needed to use it to recharge the stealth bar...because it just ran out, and left me exposed for like one second....2 guys were looking my way, i thought they didnt see me, so i stayed in the crouching position and then re-applied the stealth, and when i had just stood up, those 2 guys were right next to the cover, just aiming over it to shoot me...i mean, i was blown away by that...usually AI stays back.<br /><br />But sometimes, you can wait in a doorway, around a corner, and kill one guy, then another guy will come looking for you and just walk into your shotgun, time and time again....But occasionally they will flank you, and catch you from behind.<br /><br />Overall these issues are very slight, and positives outweigh the negatives...You have to play this game when you have a good enough PC.<br /><br />And i am at the part where you see stuff other than "Jungle"...and its so artistic, i should take screen shots.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1650371259758148810-8049589523616704149?l=videogame-madness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08024855773549960952noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650371259758148810.post-22112989499818784452008-10-25T18:49:00.000-07:002008-10-25T18:51:23.771-07:00the review, crysis for ps 3? and more!get ready for the south park review brest cancer show ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Wendy gets in trouble when she threatens to beat up Cartman after school.<br />-south park.com<br /><br />October 16, 2008 - It's always nice to see an old fashioned South Park episode that takes place in the school and eschews the pop culture or topical references that have become increasingly common on the show. Not that I haven't loved some of the episodes with larger themes, but it can be just as rewarding to go back to basics.<br /><br />Not enough is said about the voice talents of Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Parker shines here as Cartman. One of the best scenes in the episode comes when Cartman tap dances through reasons Wendy shouldn't fight him – from lying that his mother has breast cancer, to muscular dystrophy – to insisting he'll have self respect if Wendy wants him to. This is classic Cartman, and I don't think Parker gets enough credit for being able to do that horribly grating voice and then modulate it into different levels and cadences until it sounds so singularly like the character we know as Eric Cartman.<br /><br />And then, when it happens, it's sort of ugly and awful and there's bleeding and neither combatant comes off particularly well and all of a sudden it's over. Everyone just sort of stares at each other thinking, This is what we wanted to see? and attempts to mask a guilty sense of complicity behind detached irony. I'm guessing Matt and Trey saw their share of fights back in school.<br /><br /><br />As I said in my opening statement, this isn't one of South Park's breast(best) episodes. It's not even one of the best Cartman episodes. However, it's classic South Park in the sense that it takes place at the school and focuses on the kids. No Britney Spears, no George Bush, none of that. Just purely and simply the show's main characters, particulary Cartman, which, even when it's not the best, is always hilarious. The espisode does a great job at highlighting kids' excitement over a playground fight, which I think we can all relate to if you older folks remember back to your elementary school years.<br /><br />the episode has lots of flaws the fight is over way to fast and the end leaves you saying that's it and their can be very boring parts.<br /><br />even with the flaws this is still a good episode! watch it! http://www.southparkstudi...odes/<br />8.2/10.0<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Enhanced Crysis Rumored For PlayStation 3<br /><br />Rumors that Crysis will be coming to consoles just won't stop, which is probably a good thing for developer Crytek. Good to know that people want to play your game, especially the folks who consider a $900 PC too rich for their blood and are hungry for content. The folks dredging up the PlayStation 3 Crysis port this time are PlayStation World UK, by way of GamesRadar.<br /><br />We know that the company was on the hunt for a PS3 know-it-all in the Spring of last year, but the Crytek folks have been mum since. They probably didn't want any thunder stolen from the PC version, we're guessing.<br /><br />PlayStation World now says that they're hearing the PS3 version of the very pretty shooter will come packed with extras, dubbing it Crysis 1.5. But what about that rumored Xbox 360 version, listed by certain retailers? The mag puts a damper on that possibility, claiming technical reasons. Oh really? We're staying out of that one.<br /><br />Consider it rumor, but given that Crytek hasn't exactly denied such a thing exists, even saying it's possible, we're keeping our fingers crossed that they'll announce something soon.<br /><br />Crysis: No need to panic... if you own a PS3 [GamesRadar]]<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />kingdom hearts for ds trailer impressions.<br /><br />WOW my friend told me to watch the trailer, and well i thought, not another final fantasy for ds, i watched it and WOW was I impressed the sound, the graphics everything was so amazing! Finally a game that I could look froward to on the ds! I may even pre-order the game! And looking forward to getting the originals on the ps 2.<br /><br />The PlayStation 3 will get a host of new features and improvements later this month with the new firmware 2.5 update.<br /><br />GAME PRO WRITES<br /><br />The new PlayStation 3 firmware adds the ability to take in-game screenshots, a notable new feature that will need to be enabled by developers. Still, Sony representatives seemed optimistic that the new screenshot functionality would be enabled by some developers via game updates and that many future games would take advantage of the screenshot function. The physical method for taking screenshots -- what button or buttons to press -- is still up in the air, but those details should become more clear later this month when the firmware launches. We do know that captured screenshots will be automatically dumped in the PS3's Photo folder.<br /><br />Though details are still scarce on the screenshot function, the possibilities are impressive. And because the capturing will be done internally, the resulting images should be pixel-perfect -- more than enough quality to build an online Flickr gallery of your favorite game moments, for example.<br />Other highlights of the new PS3 firmware 2.5<br /><br />Controller auto-off: One of the biggest annoyances of the PlayStation 3 will finally be resolved -- players can set an auto-off in the new Power Save settings menu. This will make the Sixaxis and DualShock 3 controllers turn off after 10 minutes of non use. The Power Save menu also allows you to set an auto-off time for the PlayStation 3 (handy if you want to charge your controller before heading to bed).<br /><br />Trophy updates: The Trophy comparison screen has seen several improvements, most notably a new level system that tracks player progress. Players will now have a role-playing game-style level (Level 1, Level 2, and so on) with an experience-point meter that fills as new Trophies are earned. This will allow two players to compare their progress at a glance.<br /><br />New video features: Firmware 2.5 adds two subtle new video playback features. Scene Search will re-process your movie or show into 1-minute increments with thumbnails for quick navigation. Sequential Playback will daisy-chain your videos together that will, for example, allow you to watch an entire season of shows uninterrupted.<br /><br />Read our coverage of the PSP's new firmware 5.0 here.<br /><br />wow am exited! that looks impressive, the big problems will finnally be fixed and the small annoying bugs will be taken care of!<br /><br />well that's my blog i hope you enjoyed!<br /><br />rember to leave a comment!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1650371259758148810-2211298949981878445?l=videogame-madness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08024855773549960952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650371259758148810.post-20390275072635975652008-10-18T16:56:00.000-07:002008-10-18T16:57:41.355-07:00the ign preview!Star Wars: Clone Wars -- Nightsisters Revealed<br />Get up-close and personal with these vicious vixens.<br />by Daemon Hatfield<br /><br />October 16, 2008 - Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was released last month, but that's not the end of this year's Star Wars games. In November we'll get to go beyond the recent Clone Wars animated movie with Jedi Alliance for the Nintendo DS. While the Wii is also getting a Clone Wars game, Lightsaber Duels, the two SKUs differ in content and gameplay. Jedi Alliance introduces its own Sith villains to the Star Wars universe: The Nightsisters.<br /><br />An immoral family of witches, The Nightsisters wield lightsabers and appear to be conspiring with Dooku. Two witches lead the sisters, Sai Sircu and Yansu Grjak:<br /><br />Twisted Sisters: Sai Sircu and Yansu Grjak<br /><br /><br />Then there are the minion nightsisters, the army that serves Sai and Yansu. This legion knows how to handle a lightsaber and also has control of the Dark Side of the Force.<br /><br /><br />The minion nightsisters.<br /><br /><br />Check out the video below for footage of The Nightsisters doin' their nasty business:<br /><br /><br /><br />We've also added new Nightsisters screenshots to our gallery.<br /><br />sorce (http://ds.ign.com/articles/920/920827p1.html)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1650371259758148810-2039027507263597565?l=videogame-madness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08024855773549960952noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650371259758148810.post-82977614251639940692008-10-17T21:23:00.000-07:002008-10-17T21:24:21.341-07:00ign new look <div class="networkBar"><div class="networkFrame"> <div class="networkLinks"><a href="http://www.ign.com/" onclick="return trackclick('network_imprint-www.ign.com');">IGN.com</a>|<a href="http://www.askmen.com/" onclick="return trackclick('network_imprint-www.askmen.com');">AskMen.com</a>|<a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/" onclick="return trackclick('network_imprint-www.rottentomatoes.com');">Rotten Tomatoes</a>|<a href="http://www.gamespy.com/" onclick="return trackclick('network_imprint-www.gamespy.com');">GameSpy</a>|<a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/" onclick="return trackclick('network_imprint-www.fileplanet.com');">FilePlanet</a>|<a href="http://www.teamxbox.com/" onclick="return trackclick('network_imprint-www.teamxbox.com');">TeamXbox</a>|<a href="http://www.cheatscodesguides.com/" onclick="return trackclick('network_imprint-www.cheatscodesguides.com');">CheatsCodesGuides</a>|<a href="http://www.gamestats.com/" onclick="return trackclick('network_imprint-www.gamestats.com');">GameStats</a>|<a href="http://www.direct2drive.com/?cmp=ihl" onclick="return trackclick('network_imprint-www.direct2drive.com');">Direct2Drive</a></div> </div></div> <!-- end: networkBar --> <div id="masthead"><div style="position: absolute; top: 4px; left: 105px; width: 41px; height: 12px;" id="logo_beta"><img src="http://media.ign.com/ign/imgs/logo_beta.png" width="41" height="12" /></div> <div id="account_tools"> <div class="nav_btn" style="display: none;"> <div><a class="has_menu">My Account <img src="http://media.ign.com/ign/imgs/nav_arrow_0.gif" class="nav_arrow" /></a></div> <div class="nav_menu"> <div class="nav_option"><a href="https://login.ign.com/index.aspx?r">Manage Account</a></div> <div class="nav_option"><a id="account_tools_prof">Edit Community Profile</a></div> <div class="nav_option"><a id="account_tools_alerts">My Alerts</a></div> <div class="nav_option"><a id="account_tools_wish">My Wishlist</a></div> <div class="nav_option"><a id="account_tools_coll">My Collection</a></div> <div class="nav_option"><a id="account_tools_blog">My Blogs</a></div> <div class="nav_option"><a href="http://rr.ps3.ign.com/ReaderReviews/PostReview.aspx?reviewtype=game&object=">My Reader Reviews</a></div> <div class="nav_option"><a href="http://faqs.ign.com/submit_faq.html">My FAQs</a></div> <div class="nav_option"><a href="http://boards.ign.com/ASP/pm_unread.asp">Send a Private Message</a></div> <div class="nav_option"><a href="http://blogs.ign.com/Blogs/ManageUserLinks.aspx">Edit Friends List</a></div> <div class="nav_option"><a href="http://boards.ign.com/ASP/user_favusers.asp">Edit My Watched Users List</a></div> </div> </div> <div id="login" style="visibility: visible;"><span class="divider first" style="display: none;">|</span><a href="http://my.ign.com/my/sb?paction=relogin&params=%23action%23protect%23location%23http%253A%252F%252Fwww.ign.com%252F" id="login_link" rel="nofollow">Log In</a><span class="divider">|</span><a href="http://my.ign.com/my/sb?regAction=reg&params=%23action%23protect%23location%23http%253A%252F%252Fwww.ign.com%252F" id="reg_link" rel="nofollow">Register</a></div> </div> <div id="search_tools"> <form method="get" style="margin: 0px;" id="multiSiteSearchForm" name="multiSiteSearchForm" action="javascript:multiSiteSearchSubmit(document.multiSiteSearchForm);"> <div class="search_options"> <strong>Search:</strong> <input name="domain" class="radio_btn" type="radio"> The Web <input name="domain" checked="checked" class="radio_btn" type="radio"> IGN.com

live reiewx box live is great and their are tons on futures to use even when you don't have much ms points, in this review i'll be talking about the good the pros and cons of x box live.<br />futures- 10.0 although not the most original x box live has tons of things from the new net flex update that will be coming or the x box original games their are loads of things to do on xbox live.<br />demo games- 9.7 their are tons of great demos to be played like bioshock and mass effect their are lots of games to demo on.<br />quilty-9.4 although you must pay for gold membership witch sucks and is the only way of playing online the menus look rich in color and fun to use.<br />video quilty-9.5 the videos look great with tons of detail the sound quality is a bit lacking though<br />ms to use on-10.0 their are tons of things your hard earned ms on from south park episodes to dash boards you will find something to use your ms on.<br />overall- 9.9 their is really something for every one in x box live sure you have to pay for golden and the menus are hard to use at first but it still it is the best service any system in the world has.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

10 reasons why 2009 will be the best year for nintendo10.no good games were made this year so nintendo at least feels sorry for us and will make good games<br /><br />9.new hard ware-their will be a new wii zapper and wii motion plus.<br /><br />8.wii sails- with wii selling so much developers must want to make good games for the money.<br /><br />7.wii ware- lots of great wii ware games are coming out next year.<br /><br />6.new wii-a newer more powerful wii is promased to be made in some time from now, could 2009 be the year?<br /><br />5.nintendo-nintendo promased that good games will be realced in 09, but lets hope their telling the truth. (they lied their would be a good game in e3 08.)<br /><br />4.new zelda- its been 3 years sicence a zelda came out (on a console), and macho said it takes 3 years to make a zelda game.<br /><br /><br />3.Nintendo- nintendo even said their will be a new puckman although if it will be on ds or wii<br /><br />2.big games-mad world is coming for a fact, and at least a new zelda or puck man will come out so their no need to worry for 2009.<br /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Guest/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-4.jpg" alt="" /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Guest/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-5.jpg" alt="" /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Guest/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-6.jpg" alt="" /><br />1.ds 2-don't expect nintendo to make a another hand held system in 6 years, expect another one in 5 years and next year is that time.<br /><strong><span style="font-size: 300%;"><br /></span></strong><center><img src="http://media.techeblog.com/images/ds2_2.jpg" /><br />this could be how the ds 2 looks like image from<br /><i></i></center> <b><a href="http://images.google.com/url?q=http://eden-bones.livejournal.com/&usg=AFQjCNF-sGPtOF-GDMNshA0QlitTO-gkNw" target="_top">eden-bones.livejournal.com/<br /></a></b><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1650371259758148810-4858190498514690508?l=videogame-madness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08024855773549960952noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650371259758148810.post-4715589247143796312008-09-22T10:23:00.000-07:002008-09-22T10:31:57.016-07:00viewer mail!!!viewer mail<br />questions and comments<br />xaray said<br />great website keep up the good work<br />thanks!<br /><br />hfajk says-do you think i should sell my ds for a psp<br />well it depends how much games you have for your ds, i wouldn't suggest it but their some great games on psp like god of war and chris core.<br /><br />madman says-you say your webist is good but blog what you talking man shit face???!!!???!!!<br /> you know drugs are bad for you.<br /><br />writer says-whats the best game you played.<br />metal gear solid. i also have the top 10 games for this gen.<br /><br />well i had some good viewer mail this week. questions and comments write to dcunhamark77@gmail.com or send me a privite message at gametrails.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1650371259758148810-471558924714379631?l=videogame-madness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08024855773549960952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650371259758148810.post-22185054923540772282008-09-21T14:39:00.000-07:002008-09-21T14:41:16.415-07:00re 0 reviewokay i went to japan a few months ago and, i went to my friends house, he had re 0 for the wii i played about 65-70 percent of the game and i also played the entire game cube game and so i thought i would write a review.<br />About this time last year, Capcom was reacquainting us with the brilliant Resident Evil 4 via a Wii Edition release that refreshed and, overall, improved on the original game. This year's sort-of repeat performance, with Resident Evil Zero as Capcom's subject, isn't worse than RE4: Wii Edition just because of the difference in quality of source material-- it also suffers because Capcom has seemingly forgotten to remake the game to take advantage of the Wii and/or its control options i would also like some over the sholder view but it wasn't their.<br /><br />the game does not say wii edition like re 4 did but it does smack of pointlessness to bring a GameCube game to the Wii and not do anything interesting with the conversion opportunities.<br /><br />So, specifically what hasn't Capcom done? Most obviously, it hasn't really embraced the Wii Remote. Yes, you can use the Remote in tandem with the Nunchuk to work your way through the game, but only their digital buttons and analogue stick are functional: motion controls are completely absent from this production, so there's no point in plugging your Remote into the Wii Zapper holster unless you want to make-believe you're still playing Umbrella Chronicles.<br /><br />Although the game is quite long and something scary, their is no extra content at all not even a extra difficulty, so for some reason capcom really hated wii owners so much it does not have a reason to buy the game at all, in fact it probably would better to get the game on game cube or use the gamecube remote because on the extra buttons and the game cube virson coust less for the exact same thing. And as most of you probably know the graphics hasn't been upgraded at all not even a little bit not even 6:9. The game does not look so bad the lighting looks OK and the carcter animation looks good enough but is still looks very dated.<br /><br />am a big resident evil fan but after seeing this am deeply disappointed nothing has been added to the content and their are no motion controls at all. re 4 wii was a port (but still a good game), umbrella chronicles was a light gun shooter and dident turn out very good but still OK. and re 0 on wii went to far and i really think Capcom forgot about wii. i really think capcom needs to bring a good re to wii, to bring its nintendo fans back.<br />graphics-5.5<br />sound-6.0<br />game play-4.0<br />presentation-4.0<br />overall-4.7<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1650371259758148810-2218505492354077228?l=videogame-madness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08024855773549960952noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650371259758148810.post-33171269604393421822008-09-20T16:48:00.001-07:002008-09-20T16:48:56.555-07:00ITS HERE!VIEWER MAIL is coming to my cool website, yes the rumors are true, it's coming well the first question you ask is how do i send a question, well it's easy as fuck, just email me to dcunhamark77@gmail.com or just send me a private game trailers message.<br />questions you can ask EX<br />why do you keep copying stuff of ign idiot<br />well i only just begun my website and i already wrote lots of original stuff'<br /><br />witch one should i get<br />ninja segma or ratch and clank<br /><br />well their are very different games and i would suggest ratch and clank, but if you enjoy action i would stick with the ninja!<br /><br />well you get the point.<br />So ask me any question you want!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1650371259758148810-3317126960439342182?l=videogame-madness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08024855773549960952noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650371259758148810.post-21061230827184271632008-09-19T15:50:00.000-07:002008-09-19T15:51:10.099-07:00killzone vs. residence 2one of the great viewers suggested that i should write a blog about residence 2 Vs killzone 2, i did<br />although PS 3 may not have great shooters just yet, boath residence 2, and killzone 2, are about to change that, alot of people argue about wich one is better but heare is what i think!<br />now the first question you ask is witch one am more exited about well i will tell you later in the blog<br />killzone 2-good- superb graphics, great sound effects, great carter anictions, epic environments, good voice acting.<br />what am worried about- kill zone on ps 2 was not so good, the game may be a bit to focused on graphics and not on game play.<br /><br />residence 2-good-huge bosses, massive weapons, great multiply player, good graphics, first one was good<br />worried about- no viculas in multiply player, not much creative enemies (so far)<br /><br />graphics-killzone 2- it was an easy choice, from the explosions to the carcter animations killzone is breath taking!<br /><br />game play-residence-there is lots of mind blowing wepions in residence, that are SO fun to use!<br /><br />multilayer- residence-even though their is nothing to drive in, their is tons of cool modes and the 60 player online is exiting!<br /><br />weapons- residence-well it was a easy choice the game promises tons of cool weapons that are mind blowing!<br /><br />sound-killzone 2-the first trailer of killzone sound effects blew me away you could hear every wind blow while hearing every thing a carter says and the gun shots, well all i could say is WOW!<br /><br />story-tie although the residence story is taking the lead a little to me, the killzone story also is great but i must here more of the story design to say witch one is better.<br /><br />witch one-residence-although it was a hard choice i had to choose one and that one was residence 2, although killzone has better graphics and sound, it does not have the mulilplayer or the wepons that residence has, killzone forgot about gameplay a little and focused on other things to much.

The actor already has played notable roles on <i>Battlestar Galactica</i> (as the ill-fated pilot Crashdown) and <i>Dexter</i> (as an Ice Truck Killer wannabe in Season 1), and now he is leaping into both the Star Wars and Superman legends, premiering as two major characters in those respective universes within two weeks.<br /><br />Witwer plays Starkiller, the main character in the videogame <i>Star Wars: The Force Unleashed</i>, hitting stores this Tuesday. And a week from Thursday, he will make his debut on The CW's <i>Smallville</i>, as paramedic Davis Bloome, a character who also happens to be the <i>Smallville</i> incarnation of the Superman killing menace known as Doomsday.<br /><br />On a recent visit to the <i>Smallville</i> set, I watched as Witwer filmed a scene for the series, as he and Alison Mack ("Chloe Sullivan") sat and had drinks at an outdoor café while having a rather intense conversation. Shortly after, Witwer sat down with me to discuss his new character, plus what the experience was like starring in <i>The Force Unleashed</i>.<br /><br /></p><center><hr width="50%"></center><br /><b>IGN TV: How's it been jumping onto a show that's in its eighth season?</b><br /><br /><b>Sam Witwer:</b> I think it's been easy enough. The fun thing for me is being a character that does not understand this world, therefore, it allows for my mistakes to be more correct than wrong. I don't think this Davis Bloome guy gets superheroes or gets meteor freaks – he doesn't know what any of those things are. He sort of knows what the meteor phenomenon is about, but other than that, this is all completely new. And I think that's a cool thing to have on the show – a fresh pair of eyes to remind the audience that this is all very strange stuff.<br /><br /><b>IGN: How do we meet him?</b><br /><br /><b>Witwer:</b> We meet him through Chloe. Chloe strikes up a very fast friendship with him. He's a paramedic from Metropolis. He was raised in the foster system, so he was bounced from home to home, so he's kind of this perpetual loner. But Chloe can make friends with anyone. Chloe and him become close and through that friendship, he gets drawn in to the world of the other characters. As for his relationship with Clark and them, we haven't shot that just yet – that's coming up. But I've heard the ideas of where they want to go, and it's some really, really fun stuff. Again, especially considering this character is a fresh pair of eyes in the show. Davis' whole situation is that he's this really conscientious, really nice guy, but he blacks out every now and then. And he doesn't know what's going on when he's blacking out. So he wants to find out what that's all about and what he finds out is really horrifying. So the fun of this character is creating this guy – this really nice guy, but not <i>just</i> a nice guy. He's the kind of guy that if you push him too far, he's gonna punch you in the face. He can get moody. He can get a little bit ornery at times. But he also has the capability to be extremely warm and open and vulnerable, and that's what I find most fun about him. He can really open up, especially with Chloe. When he feels safe, he can take that.<br /><br /><!-- start image div --><div class="imageInlineCenter" style="width: 275px;" align="center"><a href="http://media.tv.ign.com/media/824/824103/imgs_1.html"><img src="http://tvmedia.ign.com/tv/image/article/910/910486/smallville-20080916105336180-000.jpg" width="275" align="center" border="0" height="413" /></a><div class="inlineImageCredit" style="width: 275px;"> - The CW</div><div class="inlineImageCaption" style="width: 275px;">Sam Witwer as Davis Bloome/Doomsday</div></div><!--- end image div -->And then to take that character and to put him on this path of just absolute destruction… because he's going to sort of slowly piece together what's going on during these blackout periods, and as everyone knows, Davis Bloome is Doomsday. So these blackout periods are probably not going very well for him or anyone involved!<br /><br /><b>IGN: He's probably not blacking out and volunteering at a soup kitchen.</b><br /><br /><b>Witwer:</b> Exactly! He's not blacking out and finding that he just planted a garden.<br /><br /><b>IGN: Helping the elderly cross the street. </b><br /><br /><b>Witwer:</b> That's exactly right. He wakes up… "Where was I?" We're going to make this really nice guy and then we're going to tear him to pieces. What would happen to you if you found out you were the opposite of everything you ever worked to make yourself into? The absolute polar opposite of that. You have this nature about you that you can't control. The realistic psychology of that is something that's very ugly and that's sort of what we're gonna go for. If we do it right, it should be the darkest thing that we've seen in <i>Smallville</i>.<br /><br /><b>IGN: It must be an interesting character to play, because I assume you want to hint at the darkness underneath, without going too far.</b><br /><br /><b>Witwer:</b> I really hope that scenes like the one we just shot help to balance out the character and help create a very balanced individual. The whole thing [at first] was, "He's this really nice guy. He's a really great guy." We kept saying that, but we have no interest in making a sort of vanilla, "Hey, I'm a nice guy!" [Switches to deep voice] "I'm a big bad creature!" No, we want to create a flawed character that makes mistakes but is really trying to do right by everyone and again, has a real vulnerable side to him that hopefully is compelling… and then tear that guy down. We're not really interested in tearing down a saint. But the cool thing is that the vulnerability and the warmth we try to give this guy, we try to go all the way with it. Yeah, he's a little bit moody, but I think the nice parts of him are really very developed.<br /><br /><b>IGN: What's Davis and Clark's relationship like initally?</b><br /><br /><b>Witwer:</b> Well, at first it's just, "Who the hell is this guy? Why is everyone paying attention to this guy?" in the episode that we're shooting now, there maybe is a little bit of a contention. You asked if we put in a little piece of the darkness, and in this episode there is a little piece of aggression. But not in an unreasonable or animalistic way. It's just in a very straightforward, he's got that in him, way. He's a really nice guy, but don't antagonize him. He's not going to flip out and kill anyone, but he will warn you off. He will say, "Hey man, don't go too far." The idea being that we have to create a character who had a rough upbringing. I feel like we would be lying if we just made him a saint all the time and it just wouldn't be interesting. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1650371259758148810-8523747242031178681?l=videogame-madness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08024855773549960952noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650371259758148810.post-4235253905618297522008-09-15T15:57:00.000-07:002008-09-17T19:27:42.948-07:00gears of war 2!!!!!!although am not a big fan of 360 I know most of you are so i posted a interview.<br /><h2>How Epic Games plans to deliver a knockout story.</h2>he first Gears of War wasn't exactly known as a powerhouse for its story. In fact, it was the opposite in most people's eyes with more of a shell of a plot that was meant to be fully exposed at a later date. That date has been set as November 7, 2008. The day that the Gears world will supposedly be unearthed in an entirely different way thanks to a much deeper storyline. Crafting that plot is Josh Ortega, a well-known writer in the world of comics and science-fiction and he's now bringing new life to the Xbox 360's most anticipated game of the year.<br /><br />We sat down with him at a Microsoft-hosted event during E3 to discuss exactly what fans can expect from <a href="http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/142/14232680.html" title="Gears of War 2"><b>Gears of War 2</b></a>.<br /><br /><b>IGN: What were your thoughts about Gears before doing it; I know you've done comic books -- Spider-Man, Batman, all that...</b><br /><br /><b>Josh Ortega:</b> I would say in terms of Gears it was a cool universe. Immediately, from an artistic style, because working in visual media, especially comics, I appreciated the visual style first and foremost. I was a little late to actually play it when I finally got to it I just loved it. To this day I still play. Recently because I was getting ready for all this multiplayer stuff, I was like, man I gotta brush up. Playing guys like you... (speaking into the microphone) This guy's good by the way!<br /><br /><div class="embedvideo" align="center"><script language="JavaScript">document.write("<embed src="'http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf'" flashvars="'object_ID=" downloadurl="http://xbox360movies.ign.com/xbox360/video/article/891/891751/gearsofwar2_directfeed3_071708_flvlowwide.flv&pmode=" ckfreg="" ckata=" + getAta() + " type="'application/x-shockwave-flash'" width="'433'" height="'360'" wmode="'opaque'"></embed>");</script><embed src="http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf" flashvars="object_ID=14232680&downloadURL=http://xbox360movies.ign.com/xbox360/video/article/891/891751/gearsofwar2_directfeed3_071708_flvlowwide.flv&pmode=1&&ckFreg=&ckAta=ign.122151912389757.75.111.165.65" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque" width="433" height="360"></embed></div><br /><b>IGN: That's going in the interview, you better believe it.</b><br /><br /><b>Josh:</b> I had to start brushing up. But brushing up for campaign stuff, in the Gears universe all the time. Just recently beating it on hardcore and playing it on insane and feeling good about it. The stickiness of the game is amazing, people just keep going back to play Gears. Even after all this time the multiplayer's still fun for them. The new stuff, as you play it, is even the next level. It's so much tighter than the first one. It was just a universe that was easy to jump into. There's also a ton of potential. It's always fun to work on a franchise from the early stages, there's just so much you can do.<br /><br /><b>IGN: Speaking of seeing potential in an unformed universe, with the characters did you see specific archetypical characters and places you could go with them?</b><br /><br /><b>Josh:</b> Yeah, right away there was stuff with the arc of the story that me and Cliff and Rod (Ferguson) as well were all on. We had to fight for a few story points but I think they're going to be things that are new for people. Stuff that people haven't quite experienced, at least not from a third-person videogame. Maybe in other media, but yeah, it was really one of these things where there's a wealth of possibilities and with all the characters and the templates that they set up with the first one. Credit to everyone who worked on the first game for setting up a lot.<br /><br />Some people say it's a bad story, it's not a bad story, it's a sparse story. Not everything made it in, not really the fault of everyone else, but what made it in was definitely memorable. Like I always say, Gears every once in awhile will get that criticism and I just have to say hey, what was it the third Lord of the Rings that was top at the box-office and won every damn award? And that's what Gears did, it was the top-selling title and it won all the awards. It's kinda hard to criticize a game at that point. You could nitpick but it did its job; it set the universe. I think it's better to be sparse than to say too much and do something stupid which I think they avoided. That gave me a wealth of possibilities to work with.<br /><br /><b>IGN: Speaking of the wealth of possibilities. You've worked on Spider-Man, Batman, Star Wars -- some obviously recognizable franchises. Those characters are pretty set so you have to follow a path. Do you follow that more where the character is already set for you or do you prefer having a shell of a character that you can build from?</b><br /><br /><b>Josh:</b> I think it's all interesting. It's like working with a puzzle. With characters you always find ways to fit your piece in to this grand puzzle because they're never really completed. The puzzle's always kind of being created so you put pieces in. It's like a giant mosaic kind of and it expands all the time so there's thing like with the Spidey story.<br /><br />It was the first comic I published, not the first I ever wrote or got paid for, but it was the first one that was published. The story for that came about with MJ at a photo shoot in San Francisco and Spider-Man hearing an earthquake and the main thing that inspired that was that I had never seen Spidey on the Golden Gate Bridge. Let's take Spider-Man out of New York for an issue.<br /><br />So there's always space, if you do your research, research is the key to good writing, I'm a firm believer in that. I think it's the same thing with something like Gears. There's stuff there that you have to research and it's like you were saying, it's pretty much an open world and there's so much to explore and create and shape, you know, which is a lot of fun.<br /><br /><div class="embedvideo" align="center"><script language="JavaScript">document.write("<embed src="'http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf'" flashvars="'object_ID=" downloadurl="http://xbox360movies.ign.com/xbox360/video/article/891/891751/gearsofwar2_directfeed4_071708_flvlowwide.flv&pmode=" ckfreg="" ckata=" + getAta() + " type="'application/x-shockwave-flash'" width="'433'" height="'360'" wmode="'opaque'"></embed>");</script><embed src="http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf" flashvars="object_ID=14232680&downloadURL=http://xbox360movies.ign.com/xbox360/video/article/891/891751/gearsofwar2_directfeed4_071708_flvlowwide.flv&pmode=1&&ckFreg=&ckAta=ign.122151912389757.75.111.165.65" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque" width="433" height="360"></embed></div><br /><b>IGN: What kind of research did you do for Gears? Was it just playing the first? Talking to Cliff?</b><br /><br /><b>Josh:</b> Game number one, yeah. Talking to Cliff. They were working on the story bible at the time which is mostly set but still kind of a work in progress because of all the new stuff that's coming out. I know I'm personally a big advocate of letting story bibles evolve organically. Not trying to get it all, I mean you want to get the framework, but you don't want all the details right away.<br /><br />If you're doing multimedia some novelist is gonna introduce some brilliant concept you didn't think of. Some movie guy is going to do something you didn't think of. You want to have a framework and then let it get populated within that framework. You have your story, you know where it ends, but you can flex around a little bit and move with it.<br /><br /><b>IGN: When you say story bible, explain to people what that is for Gears. Is it a giant overarching thing that's going to span several games or is it a one game at a time type of thing?</b><br /><br /><b>Josh:</b> Yeah, you know, most franchises that I've worked on tend to be evolutionary things again but I feel like the best ones have a map just for the general stuff. It could be really light but I think it's so important to know where you're going with it. I think it's good to think big too, to think, "Hey, what if we did do 12 Gears?" Where would you want it go and map out something roughly. Just because you don't know. I think it's better to have a general idea of what you're doing than just be caught blindsided because sometimes beauty can come out of spontaneity but a lot of times disasters can come out of spontaneity.<br /><br /><!-- start image div --><div class="imageInline" style="width: 468px;"><a href="http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/142/14232680/img_5744227.html"><img src="http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/891/891677/gears-of-war-2-20080717042859991-000.jpg" width="468" border="0" height="263" /></a><div class="inlineImageCaption" style="width: 468px;">Don't let those little bastards get too close.</div></div><!--- end image div --><br /><b>IGN: Now, it seems like everything I've heard about the story, which is not much...</b><br /><br /><b>Josh:</b> Yeah, we've been tight-lipped actually. I just want you guys to experience it.<br /><br /><b>IGN: Exactly. I want to experience the story. But there's been a lot of talk about Dom and his wife and their relationship and how that affects everything.</b><br /><br /><b>Josh:</b> Yeah, that's one of the big things.<br /><br /><b>IGN: It seems like it's more Dom focused though. I haven't heard anything about Marcus's dad or anything or that storyline. Would you say it's more Dom focused?</b><br /><br /><b>Josh:</b> I'd say it's ummm... at least through half of the game, yeah. It's pretty split. But there's a lot of Marcus stuff. Undercurrents. Definitely a lot more details that you're going to get about questions you had. We're being real tight-lipped about some of the Marcus stuff, but yeah, I think Dom's quest for Maria is the early anchor. For sure. It's something that runs throughout Gears 2 as well so it's there.<br /><br /><div class="embedvideo" align="center"><script language="JavaScript">document.write("<embed src="'http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf'" flashvars="'object_ID=" downloadurl="http://xbox360movies.ign.com/xbox360/video/article/891/891751/gearsofwar2_directfeed2_071708_flvlowwide.flv&pmode=" ckfreg="" ckata=" + getAta() + " type="'application/x-shockwave-flash'" width="'433'" height="'360'" wmode="'opaque'"></embed>");</script><embed src="http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf" flashvars="object_ID=14232680&downloadURL=http://xbox360movies.ign.com/xbox360/video/article/891/891751/gearsofwar2_directfeed2_071708_flvlowwide.flv&pmode=1&&ckFreg=&ckAta=ign.122151912389757.75.111.165.65" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque" width="433" height="360"></embed></div><br /><b>IGN: Have you been involved in any kind of talks about the movie? I know it's starting to get rolling now and you're a part of the Gears universe now.</b><br /><br /><b>Josh: </b>Yeah, I've read early draft of it. It's looking good. I'm real excited about it. I think all the people involved with it have been really excited about. It's really looking good. I'm excited where the whole franchise is heading. The novel, we're going to announce very soon who's writing the novel, brilliant novelist. Great comic stuff we're going to announce too. It's all coming together in a nice sort of "web of Gears" and it's being woven very tight. Not so tight that we don't have flexibility but I like that everything's syncing up and informing each other. We've got good people in all places. I actually haven't seen a lot of franchises start out with this much cohesion. I think a lot of times they evolved a lot more organically than this and I think we're doing a good job of cultivating the organic gardens so to speak.<br /><br /><b>IGN: You mentioned earlier about having to fight to get story points in the game. Was that a fight with Microsoft that stuff might have been too dark or what?</b><br /><br /><b>Josh:</b> I think it was more in general. There were folks at Epic too. We said, well that's pretty intense and this and that but you know, right away it was more discussion. We never got to the fighting point. Microsoft, Epic, you know, everyone was very cool and they got it pretty quick. Once I was on board and I was pushing for things and me and Cliff and Rod were on the same page. Once that all clicked I think that was the magic thing where people just started going off. People just started saying, "Let these guys go. They seem to have some magic rolling, just let them do their thing." Credit to Microsoft and to Epic, Mike Capps and Mark Rein and everyone, they let us do our thing. I think we're going to show you guys a story that's going to shock and surprise people.<br /><br />I mean, yeah, I can't talk about it. We'll have some great interviews later in the year where we'll get to the nitty gritty of it all but it's going to get to some stuff that's going to be really surprising.<br /><br /><!-- start image div --><div class="imageInline" style="width: 468px;"><a href="http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/142/14232680/img_5744225.html"><img src="http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/891/891677/gears-of-war-2-20080717042859444-000.jpg" width="468" border="0" height="263" /></a><div class="inlineImageCaption" style="width: 468px;">That flail explodes when it hits the ground.</div></div><!--- end image div --><br /><b>IGN: Man, that's great. I don't know what else to say except I just want to experience it.</b><br /><br /><b>Josh:</b> I know. I'm happy because I've never seen this from a game and there were a couple things that I pushed for right away. I was like, that's it, we gotta do that, we gotta do that. And I just pushed for it. And again, credit to Microsoft and to Epic because everyone said, "We're doing it, we're pushing the medium, that's creative vision." For third-person, again I know, first-person is its own thing. Half-Life and BioShock can do things that we can't do in a third-person game but there are things in our game that first-person games can't do.<br /><b>IGN: Working with Cliff. How much did he -- obviously he had the intentions for Gears 2 at the end of the first, he had some kind of idea and maybe even where he wanted it to end but you came in after that point, right?</b><br /><br /><b>Josh:</b> Right. I came in completely after Gears 1.<br /><br /><b>IGN: So how much of it was his totally original thought and how much of it was your vision?</b><br /><br /><b>Josh:</b> You know, it was a good time for me to come on. I call Rod, Cliff and I the story team as far as the big overarching picture. We all worked on that together. Eric Nylund who worked on the first one a bit consulted a bit on the second one too and then went back to do the Halo stuff. But me Rod and Cliff pretty much hammered it out, set our path and then it was like, "Okay Josh, here ya go, write a game for us in X amount of time." Cliff is the director, I'm the writer and he's the director and Rod is the producer. It's actually pretty akin to a movie.<br /><br />We call Rod the "Rod Mower" because he will tear your **** up. But to his credit, he's not BSing you about anything.<br /><br /><div class="embedvideo" align="center"><script language="JavaScript">document.write("<embed src="'http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf'" flashvars="'object_ID=" downloadurl="http://xbox360movies.ign.com/xbox360/video/article/891/891751/gearsofwar2_directfeed5_071708_flvlowwide.flv&pmode=" ckfreg="" ckata=" + getAta() + " type="'application/x-shockwave-flash'" width="'433'" height="'360'" wmode="'opaque'"></embed>");</script><embed src="http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf" flashvars="object_ID=14232680&downloadURL=http://xbox360movies.ign.com/xbox360/video/article/891/891751/gearsofwar2_directfeed5_071708_flvlowwide.flv&pmode=1&&ckFreg=&ckAta=ign.122151912389757.75.111.165.65" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque" width="433" height="360"></embed></div><br /><b>IGN: You just said X amount of time but how long did it actually take from day one of you saying that you were going to do it to completion? </b><br /><br /><b>Josh:</b> It was about a year. There was a crunch time when I wrote the bulk of the script and that was about three months. We've been joking about making shirts that say, "I survived the Hollow" which is of course where the Locust come from. There are guys who are really in deep now but I had an early crunch. People now are sleeping at the office but that was me way back when.<br /><br /><b>IGN: How many pages is the final script?</b><br /><br /><b>Josh:</b> You know, we have to compile it all. It's one of my goals. But it's gotta be 300 pages or so. So it's a couple movies, you know? That's not including everything, that's just a lot of the core stuff. Not including battle chatter stuff and things of that nature. So it's a lot when you combine it all. Maybe we'll put it out one day as a game script for people to see. You never know.<br /><b>IGN: How long was the actual dialogue? Minutes-wise for the whole game?</b><br /><br /><b>Josh:</b> God, I don't think we've totaled it up but I think they'd still have us on gag order.<br /><br /><!-- start image div --><div class="imageInline" style="width: 468px;"><a href="http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/142/14232680/img_5744222.html"><img src="http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/891/891677/gears-of-war-2-20080717042858741-000.jpg" width="468" border="0" height="263" /></a><div class="inlineImageCaption" style="width: 468px;">Make go boom.</div></div><!--- end image div --><br /><b>IGN: Is it longer than a feature-length film would you say?</b><br /><br /><b>Josh:</b> Totally longer than a feature-length film.

Perhaps keen to stoke those flames a little higher, SEGA used the game's Leipzig debut to show off some of MadWorld's many, many environmental kills, alongside some tantilising glimpses at new mini-games, bike riding and even a brief glimpse of a boss battle.<br /><br />First up, we were treated to a return visit Down Town, previously seen at this year's E3. With its grimy back streets, industrial sprawl and chaotic advertising clutter - "We kill because we care!" - Down Town is packed with vivid, gritty detail, made all the more striking thanks to MadWorld's signature aesthetics. Painted in stark black and white (well, actually, surprisingly, more of an off-yellow), it's an astonishingly unique artistic approach that – alongside it's TV show-inspired presentation, replete with picture interference and constant voiceover chatter ("Spikes! They're gonna fuck you up!") - really brings its comic book influences to life.<br /><br /></p><div class="embedvideo" align="center"><script language="JavaScript">document.write("<embed src="'http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf'" flashvars="'object_ID=" downloadurl="http://wiimovies.ign.com/wii/video/article/900/900913/MW_GC_082008_flvlowwide.flv&pmode=" ckfreg="" ckata=" + getAta() + " type="'application/x-shockwave-flash'" width="'433'" height="'360'" wmode="'opaque'"></embed>");</script><embed src="http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf" flashvars="object_ID=14253678&downloadURL=http://wiimovies.ign.com/wii/video/article/900/900913/MW_GC_082008_flvlowwide.flv&pmode=1&&ckFreg=&ckAta=ign.122151912389757.75.111.165.65" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque" width="433" height="360"></embed></div><br /><br />Featuring the sorts of deft touches and attention to detail its developers are famous for through games as visually varied as Okami and Viewtiful Joe, it's a zany, off-kilter world where every punch spawns a comedy on-screen 'Rassssssk!' and every random act of extreme violence is made instantly, inoffensively ridiculous as a result. That's not to say that MadWorld isn't graphic – it certainly is. However, kills are so over-the-top in their approach that dismemberment and the resulting screen-spew of blood tends to illicit chuckles of disbelief rather than winces of pain. In fact, it's an approach that immediately reminded us of Suda 51's opus of excess, No More Heroes, and we suspect that we'll see more of those comparisons, particularly now that SEGA has revealed the game's bike-mounted driving segments too.<br /><br />As brief as our glimpse of these was during the Leipzig demonstration, we came away mightily impressed with their direction, even though there's still plenty of work to be done on the development side here. Eschewing No More Heroes empty open-world mechanics, MadWorld's driving segments seem to consist of linear one-way races through the game world, a swift, entertaining diversion from the on-foot killing as you travel from one area of the map to another. For demonstration purposes, protagonist Jack kickstarted his metal steed on top of a huge skyscraper, leading to a visually astonishing set-piece as he drove off the side and hurtled down to the ground below, the sprawling tangle of roads and buildings stretching and nearing as rubber squealed against glass in one of the most gloriously ridiculous moments we've ever seen in a game.<br /><br /><!-- start image div --><div class="imageInline" style="width: 480px;"><a href="http://media.wii.ign.com/media/142/14253678/imgs_1.html"><img src="http://wiimedia.ign.com/wii/image/article/901/901144/madworld-20080820042259762.jpg" width="480" border="0" height="270" /></a><div class="inlineImageCaption" style="width: 480px;">Stop? But why?</div></div><!--- end image div --><br />Down on the ground there's plenty to be impressed about too, with racing sections stuffed with preposterously twisting flyovers, massive chasms, huge jumps and more as you dodge passed skyscrapers through the heart of the city. At present, only the environment itself stands in the way of your progress. However, SEGA is promising that the final game will feature a mass of traffic on-route to your destination, with each every driver determined to make this your last ride. In its current state, it's already an enticing prospect and certainly a genuine spectacle and we really can't wait to get to grips with the handlebars ourselves and get a feel for MadWorld's vehicle-based violence.<br /><br />Speaking of which, there's already plenty of the latter to go round. Keen to demonstrate some of the many tools at your disposal, our SEGA rep gave us a quick walkthrough of environmental kills, alongside some of your expanded arsenal to compliment your default, but no less deadly chain saws. It seems that success in a level of MadWorld relies on you reaching a specified number of kill points. You can earn these through standard attacks – however, string together environmental kills into devastating combos and you'll wrack up points in massive ways. For instance, you're rewarded handsomely for thwapping a tire over an enemy's head to incapacitate them before jamming a street sign through their brains and hurling them at exposed spikes around the level. On the subject of spikes, one of our absolute favourite deaths of the demo occurred as our rep tossed an enemy at an open dumpster only for him to be skewered on the spikes lining the lid. Fun, sure, but MadWorld always likes to take things just that little bit further – in this case, the lid wavers then slams shut, splitting our poor assailant clean in two, by way of a veritable blood geyser.<br /><p>Then there are the many items you can use against your enemies, dotted around levels. It seems most have multiple uses too with that old game stalwart, the barrel, proving its credentials once more. You can either clobber a foe's brains out with a well-timed toss or, more impressively, you can hoist them into the air, upside them and cram them in head first. That's before setting fire to it and watching the whole thing explode, of course.<br /><!-- start image div --></p><div class="imageInline" style="width: 480px;"><a href="http://media.wii.ign.com/media/142/14253678/imgs_1.html"><img src="http://wiimedia.ign.com/wii/image/article/901/901144/madworld-20080820042301293.jpg" width="480" border="0" height="270" /></a><div class="inlineImageCaption" style="width: 480px;">You're dead. Each and every last one of you.</div></div><!--- end image div --><br />As if that wasn't enough to be getting on with, you can also expand your arsenal with secondary weapons, SEGA showing off a set of twin daggers in the demo. As with your standard chain saw, it's possible to perform numerous different attacks with your secondary weapons once you've found them. While the chain saw can be used for simple cleaving - right through to a neat move where you slice up an enemy's chest prior to ripping his heart out and given it a good squeeze - we saw the twin blades pop a man's bonce off via a pleasing criss-cross action either side of his neck. Even more impressively, you can hoist a man clean into the air before ripping him in half by jerking the Wii remote and nunchuck away from each other.<br /><br />Finally for this Leipzig showing, SEGA demonstrated a brand new mini-game, of which there are many under the banner of Bloodbath Challenges, plus a short boss battle. Challenge are simple missions where the goal is to rack up as many kills – and thus points – within the allotted time and a specific manner. In the case of the newly unveiled 'Death Press', the objective is to knock your assailants into a pit, ready to be squashed flat by the pneumatic, spiked ceiling which slams down at regular intervals. As with bike segments, these seem designed to offer some brief respite from the main game – however, their high score focus is clearly intended to offer plenty of replay value with each challenge open for return visits once you've uncovered them. SEGA is also aiming to incorporate "online elements" around Bloodbath Challenges which, we suspect, is an allusion to leaderboards in some form.<br /><!-- start image div --><div class="imageInline" style="width: 480px;"><a href="http://media.wii.ign.com/media/142/14253678/imgs_1.html"><img src="http://wiimedia.ign.com/wii/image/article/901/901144/madworld-20080820042257762.jpg" width="480" border="0" height="270" /></a><div class="inlineImageCaption" style="width: 480px;">Yay! Man Darts! Who said this game wasn't for kids?</div></div><!--- end image div --><br />Rounding things off with a pleasing cliff hanger, our demo ended with a big boss confrontation. Your first task is to make your way down an alley as your opponent unleashes an endless procession of cyclones to hinder your progress toward him. Get caught in one and you're carried back to the alley entrance. However, these mini tornadoes also hurl cars and, more inexplicably, cows in your direction – neither of which is good news if you get hit. Reach the boss though and you're face to face with a towering cretin with what can only be described as laser-spewing jet engines mounted to his fists. We'd love to tell you what happens next but, alas, that's all we were privy do during our brief look at this most astonishing of games.<br /><br />Needless to say, we're very, very eager to see more of <a href="http://wii.ign.com/objects/142/14253678.html" title="MadWorld"><b>MadWorld</b></a>. It's beautiful, it's mental, it's gory and it's hilarious - which in itself is enough to keep us glued as development progresses. The fact that this stunning beacon of aesthetic excellence and brutal mentality is exclusive to Wii is simply extremely red icing on an unfathomably sticky cake. <div id="paginationBot" align="center"> <span class="nowrap"><a accesskey="p" href="http://wii.ign.com/articles/901/901144p1.html"><span style="font-size:11;">◄</span> <u>P</u>revious </a></span> <a href="http://wii.ign.com/articles/901/901144p1.html">1</a> <span style="font-weight: normal;">2</span> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1650371259758148810-9116011174746805752?l=videogame-madness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08024855773549960952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650371259758148810.post-78449611619157997622008-09-14T13:08:00.000-07:002008-09-14T13:19:07.824-07:00top 10 games of this gen.runner up-halo 3<br />10.orange box<br />9.rock band 2<br />8.mass effect<br />7.supper smash brothers brawl<br />6.the legend of Zelda twilight princess<br />5.gears of war<br />4.bioshock<br />3.super Mario galaxy<br />3.call of duty 4 (i couldn't make up my mind)<br />2. grand theft auto 4<br />1.metal gear solid 4. wow what a game mgs 4 is!<br /> <div class="media_actionbar"> <div class="media_actionbar_textbox"> <!--[if IE]> <div class="media_actionbar_checkbox_wrapper"> <![endif]--> <div class="media_actionbar_text" onclick="open_comment_window('movies', 35051);"></div><div class="media_actionbar_text" onclick="fullScreenToggle();"><img class="media_actionbar_image" src="http://www.gametrailers.com/images/gt6movieactionbar_fullscreen.gif" width="17" height="14" /> Full Screen</div> </div> </div> <div class="media_subbar"> <a class="media_subbar_item" href="http://www.gametrailers.com/player/35051.html?type=flv"><br /></a><a class="media_subbar_item" onclick="document.getElementById('media_dl').style.display = 'block';"></a> </div> <div id="media_dl" class="media_dl" style="display: none;"> <div class="media_dl_title_left">Download Links</div> <div onclick="document.getElementById('media_dl').style.display = 'none';" class="media_dl_title_right" style="">X</div> <div class="media_popup_row"> <a href="http://www.gametrailers.com/download/35051/t_mgs4_vr_greentea92_gt.mov">Quicktime - 90.7MB</a> <a href="http://www.gametrailers.com/download/35051/t_mgs4_vr_greentea92_gt.wmv">WMV - 82.1MB</a> <a href="http://www.gametrailers.com/download/35051/t_mgs4_vr_greentea92_gt.mp4">MP4 for Ipod - 73.6MB</a> </div> <div class="media_popup_row">Right click and Save As...</div> </div> <!-- END PLAYER / START INFO BOX --> <div class="media_infobox"> <div class="media_boxart" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"><img src="http://www.gametrailers.com/moses/boxart/1743-mgs4boxlaunch.jpg" width="70" height="100" /></div> <div class="media_metabox" style="width: 405px;

Sure, it seems like navigating the open areas of the social networking application and chatting it up with other PS3 users, decorating a living space, and playing free arcade games could be cool, but as I waited for a hands-on opportunity, I kept asking myself if the title could really keep me entertained for hours on end.<br /><br />With an afternoon under my belt, it would appear the answer it yes... although a lot of that time was spent spouting gibberish at other users.<br /><br />Today, I was lucky enough to get an e-mail from PlayStation Underground informing me that I had been added to Home's closed beta, an honor I earned from downloading the Home theme on the PlayStation Network. After punching in a voucher code, downloading an 85-MB file, and pressing X, I was in the "game" Phil Harrison used to wax on and on about.<br /><br /></p><div class="embedvideo" align="center"><script language="JavaScript">document.write("<embed src="'http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf'" flashvars="'object_ID="891773&downloadURL="http://ps3movies.ign.com/ps3/video/article/907/907188/Home_Character_Creation_flvlowwide.flv&pmode="1&&ckFreg="" ckata=" + getAta() + " type="'application/x-shockwave-flash'" width="'433'" height="'360'" wmode="'opaque'"></embed>");</script><embed src="http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf" flashvars="object_ID=891773&downloadURL=http://ps3movies.ign.com/ps3/video/article/907/907188/Home_Character_Creation_flvlowwide.flv&pmode=1&&ckFreg=&ckAta=ign.122136563619257.75.111.165.65" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque" width="433" height="360"></embed></div><br /><br />The first thing that struck me about Home is that it's a pretty polished product. The motif is a slick blue and white number that moves pretty seamlessly between screens. First stop was creating the virtual me that'd be inhabiting this online world. If I wanted to, I could cop-out and pick from one of 18 preset characters, but I chose the unforgiving world of actually creating an avatar. The standard choices for hair, gender, and body shape are there, but Home tosses in the use of both analog sticks for modding the choice. When you're fooling with your head, the left stick messes with the skull width/height and the right stick controls cranium width/scale when you moves the icons around a graph that's broken up into four parts. If it sounds confusing, it's pretty natural once you get in there. These stick alterations are part of just about every amendable piece you have.<br /><br />Outside of the standard color options for things such as hair and eyes, Home uses this nifty bar chart to modify the wrinkles on your face and darkness around your peepers. You'll choose to mod your skin, address the features, and then move the values on the bar chart to decide how many freckles should be on your face and if your brow should be furrowed.<br /><br />Beyond the nuts and bolts of your body, the beta offers a handful of options to detail how your character will look. Headgear covers stuff like hats, jewelry gives you bling, and so on. You just jump into a category with X, click around to look at options, and tap Circle to go back to the select screen with the current item equipped. As someone who creates a lot of characters as part of IGN's wresting game coverage, it was pretty sweet to scroll over an item and have it placed on the character in less than two seconds.<br /><br />When I was done creating the best Greg I could -- What's with the lack of a regular ol' brown hair, Sony? -- I pressed Start, selected Exit, and was transported to my "Harbour Studio." We've seen this empty room in more than a few Sony presentations and such, but I never really was taken aback by it until today. When I went out on my balcony and took in the sights -- the sun-bleached rocks, seagulls hovering over the water, the palm trees, the blue water -- it was the first time I realized how good this application actually looks. With the sounds of the seagulls cawing and the waves crashing, I could totally see sitting on a Home couch and just letting the scene be my PS3's screensaver (Sorry, Folding@home).<br /><br /><!-- start image div --><div class="imageInline" style="width: 480px;"><a href="http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/891/891773/imgs_1.html"><img src="http://ps3media.ign.com/ps3/image/article/907/907231/playstation-home-20080902055110067-000.jpg" alt="What a view!" width="480" border="0" height="270" /></a><div class="inlineImageCaption" style="width: 480px;">What a view!</div></div><!--- end image div -->Of course, Home's not about staring into space -- it's about consumerism. When I was done taking in computerized nature, I walked into my empty house and pressed Start. My virtual PSP popped up and I was able to easily jump to Redecorate Home Space. I clicked "Add Furniture" and was able to drop a chair, couch, table, and bubble machine in my pad, and when I clicked over to "Wallpaper", I had eight patterns to plaster on the wall.<br /><br />I went with the yellow and orange "Retro" scheme. Homey.<br /><br />The PSP's going to be a pretty integral part of your PlayStation Home experience. From the device, you can jump straight to your wardrobe, change the color of your word balloon and prompt color bubbles, call friends, jump from location to location, and create multiplayer game sessions.<br /><br />When you're wandering around Home, you'll run into other players that have a large controller above their heads. This means that they've created a match in a PS3 game such as Warhawk or Madden that you can join by clicking X while you're next to them. If you want to set up your own match up, you can open the PSP and create the showdown. When it's over, you're brought right back to Home rather than the XMB.<br />Calling up the World Map from the PSP offers you the option to travel around the Home world in an instant. Currently, there are four sections to jump to from the map -- Central Plaza, Home Theatre, Game Space, and the Mall. Now, if I was to just walk out of my apartment, I'd enter the Central Plaza, which is pretty much main street that connects all the parts of Home. From this outdoor courtyard that's filled with fountains, big screens playing Sony trailers, and trees, you can chat it up with other Home denizens or walk over to the individual parts you can jump to via the map.<br /><br />With your back to your apartment complex, the first thing you'll see on your right is the Home Theatre. On the marquee out front is the announcement "Now Playing The Last Guy" and promo posters for Pain, Siren: Blood Curse, and Wipeout HD line the wall to the front door. Inside, you'll find the traditional movie theater -- plush red carpets, red chairs, and a screen replaying a trailer for The Last Guy. From my experience, people talk about the game's music, sleep, or dance. Then, they go somewhere else.<br /><br />I followed suit and screamed about IGN.<br /><br /><div class="embedvideo" align="center"><script language="JavaScript">document.write("<embed src="'http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf'" flashvars="'object_ID="891773&downloadURL="http://ps3movies.ign.com/ps3/video/article/907/907188/Home_Talking_flvlowwide.flv&pmode="1&&ckFreg="" ckata=" + getAta() + " type="'application/x-shockwave-flash'" width="'433'" height="'360'" wmode="'opaque'"></embed>");</script><embed src="http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf" flashvars="object_ID=891773&downloadURL=http://ps3movies.ign.com/ps3/video/article/907/907188/Home_Talking_flvlowwide.flv&pmode=1&&ckFreg=&ckAta=ign.122136563619257.75.111.165.65" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque" width="433" height="360"></embed></div><br /><br />In terms of customization, the Mall is where it's at. Here -- in the trendy glass-domed building -- you can pick up items for your person such as Converse-like tennis shoes, stuff for your home such as a rubber duckie, and a whole new living space such as the summer house. Right now, all of this stuff is free, but in the future, this is where you'd have to imagine Sony starts selling game-specific tees and awesome room deals.<br /><br />Game Space is the room that'll probably appeal to most of us because games are pretty much the only thing we have in life. Set up like a hip bowling alley -- lots of purple and dark blues mixed with a thumping beat -- this space packs four different arcade cabinets, five bowling lanes, and six pool tables. On the videogame side, I got to fool with EVAC (that helicopter game we've seen demoed before where you grab stranded dudes and airlift them to safety) as well as Rubber Bob, a game that had me hopping around on a colored board and trying to match colors in groups of three. I wish I could tell you about the other games, but damn, Home is popular. If someone else is playing a cabinet and you try to jump on, you'll be told that the game is occupied.<br /><br />Neither bowling nor pool make use of the SixAxis. Bowling has you shift your ball left or right on the starting line, stop an aiming line that bounces back and forth at an angle for your throw's trajectory, stop a meter that determines spin and how much of it you'll have, and then stop a rising and falling meter that determines the power of a toss. You can play alone, people can join you, or you can walk up and join someone else's game. The same can be said for pool, except there you just line up your shot with the pool cue and hold down X for pull-back power. There are no on-screen meters to deal with.<br /><br />When all that was done, I headed back to my summer home, which is that larger penthouse Jack Tretton held a virtual barbeque at last E3, and tossed couches around the room. While I watched the furniture fall from the sky and turn the way it should when it hits a railing or what have you, I though about everything I had seen today. When I started the system up, I wasn't sure how I felt about the title. After a day playing, I wouldn't say I'm ready to declare it Game of the Year, but it's definitely fun to think about refining my space, letting the soothing sounds of the ocean beam from the TV while I work, and the potential to feel folks out before heading into a multiplayer match with them. I didn't enjoy waiting for arcade machines or the fact that the in-game XMB was disabled, but those are just minor complaints.<br /><br /><!-- start image div --><div class="imageInline" style="width: 480px;"><a href="http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/891/891773/imgs_1.html"><img src="http://ps3media.ign.com/ps3/image/article/907/907231/playstation-home-20080902055107130-000.jpg" alt="Where's Chris Hansen?" width="480" border="0" height="270" /></a><div class="inlineImageCaption" style="width: 480px;">Where's Chris Hansen?</div></div><!--- end image div -->For a product that's not even on the market yet and will be free when it does debut, <a href="http://ps3.ign.com/objects/891/891773.html" title="PlayStation Home"><b>PlayStation Home</b></a> looks like it could actually be pretty cool -- that is if I don't get banned for acting like a jackass and asking people if they watch To Catch a Predator.<br /><br /><u><i>Actual Home Conversation...</i></u><br /><b>Me:</b> Dude, you ever hear of To Catch a Predator?<br /><b>Dude:</b> Catch predators?<br /><b>Me:</b> Or am I one?

Maybe you've killed Illidan. Maybe you've even sent Kil'Jaeden back into his fiery portal, thus saving Azeroth from certain doom. You've topped the arena ladders, you've maxed out all your reputations, you've secured a bajillion different flying mounts just because you can, and now you're ready for your next World of Warcraft conquest, on the frozen wastes of Northrend.<br /><br />Well, you've still got a while to wait, suckers!<br /><br />But I feel for you, I really do. That's why I took it upon myself to force my way into the <a href="http://pc.ign.com/objects/954/954150.html" title="World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King"><b>World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King</b></a> beta and give you a sneak peek at a few tasty morsels. I give you this list of ten things in WotLK that will make the wait even harder. <b>Spoiler free, of course.<br /></b><big>The Deathknight Questline</big><br /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Guest/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-3.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />Much has already been said about the Deathknight – that it uses an entirely new combat system, plays like a mixture of warrior and warlock with the weaknesses of neither, that they are general all-round bad-asses. As impressive as they are, they were somewhat of a purple elephant to the Warcraft lore. It was passable for the Horde, sure. The Horde's evil, Deathknights are evil - it's a pretty happy marriage. But for the Alliance to welcome a runesword-wielding, disease dealing maniac with open arms? Fifteen years ago, that'd be labelled as <i>bogus. Sh'yeah!<br /></i>So the Blizzard Entertainment lore-weavers set to work to legitimise the introduction of the Deathknight, while matching the epic nature of playing such a volatile and powerful hero, and they have certainly outdone themselves. Look forward to some very interesting and exciting opening hours of game-play, including more than a few familiar faces for the WoW veterans, and an absolutely stunning ending.<br /><big>Landscapes</big><br /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Guest/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />Northrend is far north of Azeroth, where your first sixty levels take place. While for Australians, the further north you get, the warmer it gets, you may be interested to know that after a certain point it starts getting cold again. I know - I didn't believe it at first either! As a result, Northrend is a pretty chilly place, so you'd think that when you get there, it would just be ice and snow and yetis as far as the eye can see. But, in fact, much of Northrend is teeming with colours other than white. The first couple of zones are actually quite temperate, with pine forests and steep, rocky cliff faces.<br /><br />That's not to say there's <i>no</i> snow, because there is. There's actually a lot. About half the continent is snowy, but the plants and rocks jutting out from the skyline in each zone are varied enough to still make each area feel fresh.<br /><br /><big>Landmarks</big><br /><br />Despite the graphical engine being older than most fine wines, Wrath of the Lich King has still pumped out some very impressive scenery, thanks to some fine artists who know how to squeeze blood from a rock. In particular, areas like the Crystalsong Forest, with gorgeously glowing amethyst-coloured trees and Wyrmrest Temple which rivals even Karazhan (be sure to look at the murals on the ceiling). There are also plenty of Titan relics scattered throughout the continent, including a gigantic statue to the south of the Howling Fjords.<br /><br /><big>Dalaran, The Missing City</big><br /><br />Many players will remember the giant pink dome in the middle of the Alterac Mountains – a fluorescent nipple surrounded by ruins – from their time spent reaching level 70 (or repeatedly slaying anyone below), but that era has come to an end. Where once there was half an enormous strawberry gumball, there is now just a crater surrounded by magical pink steam. Where, then, has it gone?<br /><br />It sits afloat, smack-bang in the middle of Northrend, and serves as a neutral city for anyone capable of actually getting up there. On its surface, it's a rich, lavish, magical centre for civilisation, but beneath lies a maze of sewers, some opening directly to the solid earth below.<br /><br /><big>New Talents</big><br /><br />With the level cap increase come a whole new set of talents for every class across the board. While the specifics of these talents changes almost weekly during beta, one thing is for certain – extra options are never a bad thing. Many of the old talents are also being revamped to accommodate for new abilities, and to provide more synergy between talent trees.<br /><br />Some of the new talents provide avenues for entirely different styles of play, such as the Shaman's "Spirit Link" ability, which allows for multiple players to split the damage they take, or the Warlock's "Metamorphosis", turning the Warlock into a demon and essentially changing the caster class into a melee damage dealer for a short while.<br /><br /><big>Really Big Things</big><br /><br />Everything grows taller up north, apparently. The Burning Crusade had its Fel Reavers, and Wrath of the Lich King has its Storm Giants. Huge, hulking, leather-clad behemoths roaming the land for no other reason than to kill you just as you're about to loot a nice item. But then there's Thrym, with the apt nickname "The Hope Ender".<br /><br /><!-- start image div --><div class="imageInlineCenter" style="width: 480px;" align="center"><a href="http://media.pc.ign.com/media/954/954150/img_5862994.html"><img src="http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/article/901/901924/world-of-warcraft-wrath-of-the-lich-king-20080821061646464-000.jpg" width="480" align="center" border="0" height="360" /></a><div class="inlineImageCaption" style="width: 480px;">Jerk.</div></div><!--- end image div --><br />Thrym is a giant undead monstrosity whose hobbies include baking, embroidery, and walking up and down the main path of Zul'Drak, stomping to death anyone who gets near him. Actually, Zul'Drak is <i>another</i> really big thing. Zul'Drak is one of the nine zones that make up Northrend, but what sets Zul'Drak apart from the rest, is that the entire place is one gigantic Troll Ziggurat. Think "Altar of Zul", but about a thousand times bigger, and filled with really big, angry bear and snake gods.<br /><br /><big>New Dungeons and Raids</big><br /><br />Many of you will be pleased to know that 5-player instances have maintained the same increase in complexity and involvement that they began in The Burning Crusade. Bosses are rarely simple affairs, usually involving several tactics that will be familiar to raiders, but new to more casual players. The enemies in-between the bosses are often just as interesting, and will require just as much planning, coordination and communication as the big, bad, loot-dropping guys.<br /><br />Although no raid instances are available at the moment, one major change is the addition of 10-player modes for all 25-player instances, with different loot tables for each. How wildly different the meat of each instance is depending on the group numbers remains to be seen, but it's a change that appeases both the casual and the hardcore groups from a conflict as old as the game itself.<br /><br /><big>PVP, Baby</big><br /><br />Player-versus-player combat has come a very long way since the early days of World of Warcraft. Once upon a time, there wasn't even a reward system for slaying your enemy faction beyond the smug sense of superiority, and the knowledge that someone, somewhere, just threw their keyboard across the room. But then there was the honour-system, and then battlegrounds, and then a whole other honour system, then arenas.<br /><br />Now, in addition to an extra battleground, Wrath of the Lich King is building upon its world-PvP origins and has set aside an entire zone in Northrend for nothing more than decapitating and incinerating each other. Wintergrasp – as the zone is called – pits the two factions against each other for control of the territory, but rather than have an all-out fistfight, players can take control of siege engines and destroy enemy buildings and defences, which means that tactics will play an important part. That is, unless, your server has an awful population imbalance. Then you're screwed.<br /><br /><big>Living World</big><br /><br />One of the most enjoyable things I found throughout my beta experience, besides being able to play it way before everyone else and mess around with Deathknights and make snowcones and stuff, was seeing how the NPCs reacted to each other. While the Horde and the Alliance are certainly the main two factions at play in World of Warcraft, they're not the only factions, and you are reminded of this throughout Wrath of the Lich King.<br /><br /><!-- start image div --><div class="imageInlineCenter" style="width: 480px;" align="center"><a href="http://media.pc.ign.com/media/954/954150/img_5862990.html"><img src="http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/article/901/901924/world-of-warcraft-wrath-of-the-lich-king-20080821061628823-000.jpg" width="480" align="center" border="0" height="360" /></a><div class="inlineImageCaption" style="width: 480px;">Icecrown Gates.

Blizzard Entertainment has gone to great lengths to make Northrend feel like an active, dynamic place where old rivalries still burn bright.<br /><br /><big>Other Glorious Stuff</big><br /><br />So Blizzard must have seen that some people occasionally stop playing WoW to go to work, or to eat, or to sleep, and thought "I wonder how we can make our game more addictive, and stop people from doing other things altogether". And thus, the achievement system was born.<br /><br />Ever since Xbox Live introduced Achievements to the broader public, everyone and their mother has had to put in some sort of achievement system. Achievements are the herpes of gaming, and once you get them in your system, they're there for life.<br /><br />World of Warcraft achievements range from everyday game-play related activities like exploring a zone or doing a specific quest chain, to the more obsessive ones like exploring every zone and doing every quest chain, but also have a few oddball quests thrown in for fun (falling 65 yards while really drunk, and surviving). The points you earn through achievements can be used to obtain vanity prizes.<br /><br />There've also been a multitude of changes and improvements to the user interface in WotLK, not the least of which is the addition of the "Pets" tab on your character sheet. Now, when equipping a mount, it will be added into the Pets tab and won't take up any bag space. The same goes for any vanity pets, like parrots and whelps. That said, flying mounts are unusable in Northrend until you complete a quest at level 77, which is probably a good thing, because you're going to want to take your time and enjoy the sights.<br /><br /><i><br /></i><b><br /></b><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1650371259758148810-7517720808556723971?l=videogame-madness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08024855773549960952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650371259758148810.post-16805710780034638922008-09-13T17:20:00.000-07:002008-09-13T17:22:17.197-07:00famly guyhttp://www.fox.com/fod/play.php?sh=familyguy<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1650371259758148810-1680571078003463892?l=videogame-madness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08024855773549960952noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650371259758148810.post-92006890524961126422008-09-13T17:07:00.000-07:002008-09-13T17:11:01.533-07:00my gt blogswell we all know that these blogs are more important than gt blogs WRONG OK maby a little but i still want you guys to see these blogs from GT<br /><style></style><div> </div><a href="http://bcroger.gametrailers.com/gamepad/index.php?action=viewblog&id=362661">http://bcroger.gametrailers.com/gamepad/index.php?action=viewblog&id=362661</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1650371259758148810-9200689052496112642?l=videogame-madness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08024855773549960952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650371259758148810.post-84860677327425754042008-09-13T17:02:00.000-07:002008-09-13T17:04:56.420-07:00game<h5>Super Fun Time</h5><h6><br /></h6>yep its my favorite episode of south park! i hope you injoy<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1650371259758148810-8486067732742575404?l=videogame-madness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08024855773549960952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650371259758148810.post-7441896026412698232008-09-13T16:49:00.000-07:002008-09-13T16:51:46.034-07:00fucking madnessThe grand new opening<br />THANK YOU FOR WATCHING MY WEBSITE<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1650371259758148810-744189602641269823?l=videogame-madness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08024855773549960952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650371259758148810.post-36904931566175830342008-09-13T16:41:00.002-07:002008-09-13T16:45:24.724-07:00the real video game blog of the danm year!i would have to have a special welcome<br /><a href="http://darthxehanort.gametrailers.com/">to</a><br /><a href="http://darthxehanort.gametrailers.com/">DarthXehanort</a> (from gt)<br />grand new fucking opening<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1650371259758148810-3690493156617583034?l=videogame-madness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08024855773549960952noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650371259758148810.post-85701122641585507362008-09-13T16:41:00.001-07:002008-09-13T16:41:17.194-07:00GamesThis is aboit games<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1650371259758148810-8570112264158550736?l=videogame-madness.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08024855773549960952noreply@blogger.com1
