Just Cause 2: Cause Dropping Cars on People Sounds Awesome!

Just watch the video. Definitely looking forward to this one! The fact that I can tie a person up to an airplane and then fly it into a mountain while I make a safe escape, and watch the carnage unfold as I parachute down to earth seems kinda smile jerking!

Pokemon Generation V Update! Meet Zoroa and Zoroark!

So the cat is out of the bag folks, these are officially the first announced Pokemon of the next generation of games! With a dark type being announced before the starters which are typically fire, grass and water. Could this mean we have new starter types to chose from? Probably not, but I would love if you could pick a different type other than the typical 3; say Dark, Psychic and Flying. Keep looking here for more details as they roll out.

Here is some info on the newest Pokemon...

"The first new Pokémon being added to the next game has been revealed. The silhouette belongs to Zoroark, a new Dark-type Pokémon described as a "Monster Fox Pokémon." It evolves from the smaller and cuter, but evil, Zoroa." (Via Serebii.net)

Pokemon Generation V to Launch This Year!

Above we have a silhouette of a new Pokemon that will be appearing in the next generation of the Pokemon world. This is all we have at the moment of a new generation of the Pokemon franchise. This is very exciting news considering the fact that, like myself included, we thought Gen IV was the last installment into the Pokemon world. I guess Nintendo and Game Freak have proved us wrong, in a good way! Look here for more details as they roll out.

P.S. Be sure to stop by your local Gamestop and get your "Pikachu Colored" Pichu to help you access a special treat in the new Heart Gold/Soul Silver games! The giveaway goes until Feb 15th!

It's The Lightning Round: Reviews and More!!!

Since I have signed up for GameFly, I now enjoy gaming at a much faster rate than if I had purchased all these games.  First, its a money saver! Also, I enjoy the titles I would have shied away from due to prices and mixed reviews..I have played a few games and as always want to offer you the readers some insight on the following tittles.

Wolfenstein (PS3): 2/5 - Not a great game, the camera work can get you motion sick at times.  The Occult and Nazi mix just does not work. I got half way through the game and sent it back.  Keep this at the bottom of your queue as a filler title when you main titles are finished with...

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood (PS3): 3.5/5 - OK game,  The gameplay and controls were great to work with, however there is just something about this game that fails at keeping the player hooked and in turn makes it a chore to progress through the game. Again a decent filler game for some decent western shoot 'em up action.

UFC Undisputed 2009 (PS3): 4/5 - Fun game, who doesn't want to control some of the worlds best fighters and beat some people to a pulp? Can get repetitive though.  Might be worth a buy, it's worth renting for sure!  Controls could use some work, the ground game is a bit tough to get down.  Most of the time the fight ends in a KO (Great animation though)!

WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2010 (PS3) 4/5 - Same as UFC but in the WWE world.  If you are a fan of wrestling, rent or buy this title.  Story mode keeps you occupied and there is much more beyond that.  Always something to do in the game for sure.  Refined feel, good control scheme. I have no issues with it, other than it might get a tad boring after a long session.

Expect more game reviews in the future!

In other news...

SyFy is hosting it's annual New Years Twilight Zone marathon.  It's always good to enjoy some quality TV and nothing beats the Twilight Zone.  What is/are your favorite episode(s)?  Mine are Perchance to a Dream, Obsolete Man and A Game of Pool.

Google is launching its Nexus One which will cost $530 without a plan and $180 with a TMobile plan.  Good move, however I think Google is risking saturating the market and, isn't this just a Google branded HTC handset?!? Good to see the Goog' trying though! iPhone Killer?! Thoughts?!

The NFL season is drawing to a close and the Post season starting in a couple of weeks!  With the Saints slipping the NFC could be anyone's game. I would not mind seeing the Eagles and the Vikings as a potential NFC Championship game. The AFC in typical fashion has the Colts and the Patriots. Choosing one of these teams is always a safe bet for the Super Bowl.  Do not rule out the Chargers though! What teams do you see in the Super Bowl?  Go Eagles!!

January 3rd, 2010: Mark this date down in your calendars folks.  History is made as Super Chef Emeril Lagasse makes his Kitchen Stadium debut and tags with Iron Chef Mario Batali to do battle with Iron Chef Bobby Flay and White House Executive Chef Cristeta Comerford!  The secret ingredient is of national importance!  For all you Iron Chef fans both old and new this is a battle you cannot miss!  I'm going with Lagasse/Batali to win.  Agree or Disagree??

Much more to discuss but, it will have to wait for another day..So STAY TUNED!!!
