GTA 101
Deftone | 6:29 PM on 04.23.2008 2 comments


Everyone right now is all hyped up about the GTA4 leaks that are popping everywhere on the internet, while some are false, some are true. Let's some look at some aspects of it.



The realistic thing going is great, the graphics are improving a lot in each generation and this hasn't been a letdown. I mean, GTA has it's spot where it is because they are always improving in some way, either if it's character modification, more variety on mission, extras, unlockables. But let's jump back to the history of this games to clarify my point.




Classic, the "Uzi Rider" mission, personal favorite, and where we can see how the quality of the graphics have evolved. Check out the easy use of the car, I been hearing some complains that the driving in GTA4 is awkward and a "more real use", which I fear because the control in previous GTA where all great, I'm hoping that those rumors regarding driving are false, because if not, who cares I'll still buy it.



We jump into GTA San Andreas, for some people this game wasn't up in the greatness of GTA titles, but for me it was top tier. It included some new features such as editing CJ look, eating to much burgers made him fat, while going to the gym raised his stamina, this one did it for me since it if they tried to make the game more realistic adding lung capacity is something that for me was awesome. This is also another great step GTA took to become a respectable series.

So to resume all the wall of text above, I'm thinking GTA 4 is not going to disappoint anyone, because if something, GTA has always improved it's gameplay, that's why its a A+ on my list.

Turok, FF4, and Alcohol!
Deftone | 10:59 PM on 04.22.2008 3 comments




I was a big fan of Turok back in the 64, It was a game that mixed two things I really like, dinosaurs and big guns. The game was a good one, for it's time one of the great first-person shooter. And now Turok has come back (yet again) and it's the same, not in the good way.

Sure the new Turok brings back some of the beloved knife and bow action, with some new good additions like silent kill, thing is I don't thing the game is improving that much. The gameplay is quite good, but then again I'm not feeling this jungle vibe thing, and they did a good job, but they could have added something different than velociraptors and mercenaries, sure some bosses are different and good, but most of them are easy since they have the same attack pattern, once you figure it out it losses the replay value I like.

On a good note for all you FF fans who don't know FF4 DS release date, July 22, which fits pretty good on my calendar since I'll be having a lot of money to spend those days.

I know I promised you alcohol, but the camera won't work! Stay tuned to watch how a dtoider falls into the merciless hands of Jack, Jim, and Jose.

 about me

I'm a proud mexican that plays videogames.

I currently study International Business, still don't know my major but I'll get back to you on this one.

Besides videogaming I do swimming and muay thai for fun.

Videogames are always fun, but it gets better if it's a RPG, Fighting, Horror Survival or Adventure. I'm currently playing The Orange Box.
