Now a big news on E3 that i had no idea about, was the remake and new chapters in the monkey island series.
And being a huge monkey island fan. I literally jumped up in joy.

Now as i understand it they are remaking the original. And giving us a new game in chapters like Sam & Max called tales of monkey island.

First my thoughts on the remake. HURRAY it looks pretty good and has the feel of the original and better yet the great voice work by all the originals we heard from the curse of monkey island (Dominic Armato the perfect voice for Guybrush Threepwood). And more.

Now i also like how they have coded the remake on top of the original so players have a choice to play the remake or the original with the press of a button. Also the music has gotten some positive overlook.
All in all i believe this will be a great remake and hopefully it will get new people to expirience the joy that is monkey island.

Now as for the brand new game tales of monkey island. I like how they seem to have kept the original fell of the monkey island games. But like so may other fans i think the decision to going full blown 3D is not the best for the series. I fell in love with its simplicity and pure comic genius. So i hope they can impress but i am a little more reserved about this one than i am the remake. So i hope on July 7 telltale games can bring the greatness that was monkey island back.

Thanks for reading my blog and as always,. this is themaninthejacket saying have a nice day =)

Well just saw gametrailers top 10 mos anticipaded games for E3 2009. (good to se E3 getting back to its former glory)

Ok list. But i am going to do my own

The list is 10 games i want to see more of or see gameplay footage/trailer. And a short reason why.

10. Alan Wake.
I have been waiting for this game for some time and i really want to se more gameplay footage and a release date.

9. The new Zelda game
This is just on the list to see how they fuck up zelda. I mean seriously, a train in a Zelda game come on.

8. God of war 3.
This game is going to rock. Even though i dont have a PS3 i am reallt looking forward to seeing some more of this game. I mean i bought the ps2 just for this game. And i am hoping this will prompt me to buy a PS3.

7. The new metal gear (if that will be the game)
Metal gear always cool. And i hope we get to se big boss in the game.

6. Modern warfare 2.
Yes the game that gave FPS multiplayer a new breath is getting a sequal. And hopefully the multiplayer and the story ( 1 had a pretty good story) will be better than ever.

5. Heavy Rain.
The game fromm quantic dream (not sure if that is the name of the company?) is looking to be extreemly special. and it helps that the creator of Farenheit is the director (as he calls his involment with the game)

4. Dragon Age origin.
A spiritual sucsessor to my favourite RPG series of all time Baldurs gate. Will automaticl be on my list

3. Brutal Legend.
I am really looking forward to this game. From the brilliant mind of Tim Schafer comes a game that mixes metal and little scandinavian mythos this game is going to rock my socks of ( ok bad joke)

2. Mass effect 2
Yes mass effect 2 is not number 1. But its on this list because it is going to be epic.

1. The new Beyond Good and evil game
Mystery surrounds this game and it is going to be extreemly cool to se more from this game. The original was sucj a blast to play that i cant wait to se what the sequal holds.

I don’t know how many of you have played the punisher game on Playstation 2 and Xbox. But that game was aces. It was extremely good.

Personally it is one of my favorite 3 person shooters i have ever played.
I love the arcade point system you get for killing people and doing torture and melee kills.
This with a pretty all right story really captured the essence of the comics.

Now I think most people would agree that both the movies sucked (even if Thomas Jane was pretty ok as the punisher). And so it was good to see a video game that really tries to follow the comic in stead of the movie. Now i saw a trailer a while back for a new punisher game and I was kind of disappointed. It looked like a generic 1 person shooter.

Now instead of batching and moaning about it i am just going to tell you what i would like to see from the new game, and what i would like to keep from the old one.

Keep: The interrogation method it was extremely cool and fun to interrogate people for health and info. Gameplay, keep it in the 3 person. Melee kills, add even more of them loved to stab people through the chin and up their skull. Environment kills is a must. Keep the voice of Thomas Jane he was a great voice for the punisher

Loose/Change: I personally would like the story to be an origin story extremely faithful to the comics. Staring in Vietnam and so on and on. The design now the art design in the punisher for Xbox and PS2 was good but i would like to change it to resemble the comic when Garth Ennis wrote them and Lewis Larosa drew them.



Well that is what I would like to see in a new punisher game

And once again thinks for reading and this is themaninthejacket saying have a nice day

Well i love RPG game. All of them Final Fantasy to Baldurs Gate. I really dont care the console i will play a good RPG.

But when i heard about Mass Effect i was compeld to get the 360. And it was worth it. Now there are some really great games for the system dont get me wrong love the 360. But this game was seriously the only reason why i got the system. I dont know why but Mass Effect really changed my idea of a tradional RPG more so than any MMO or Knights of the old republic. Now i am not saying that i am a RPG whiz i or that i know every one of them or that i have played all of them.

But to me Mass Effect really changed my look on RPG games. While many consider it a gloryfied 3 person shooter i think it is an RPG blend with shooter and tactics (like GRAW).

Now that they made Mass Effect and have learned from their mistake. I am really looking forward to Mass Effect 2. The teaser trailer had me really puzzeld if shepard is a machine or what??. Well we will find out when it comes out.

Also if any one comments i would like to appoligize for my bad grammar and what you thougt of the first game and what you expect from number 2.

Thanks for reading this is themaninthejacket saying have a nice day =)

Well i was really looking forward to the game. I mean Ghostbusters 1 and 2 are some of my favorite movies of all time. And when i read about a new game in development with all the original cast AND A STORY WRITTEN BY DAN AKROYD.

I was as happy as i could be now just a few moments before realizing the game i get the info that it will only bee on PS3 in Europe. Now i am no PS3 hater, i like it and all that. I am just an X box man. And i find very hard to comprehend that the game developers has cut of all of its Europe X box 360 owners by saying only for the PS3 in Europe. i mean i don't care that games such as Killzone 2 and God of War are exclusive to the PS3 that is just fair and maybe a reason to get the console.

But when a game based on a movie license, gets delivered on all the system in USA and not in Europe. Really pisses me off. Well i guess i will just have to import it form Asia or something.

thanks for reading this little rant. This is themaninthejacket saying have a nice day

Well i have to say its not as bad as you think.

I have read and seen so many reviews about this game and they all butcher it.

I think this game is actually OK its not a great game but OK. I mean swinging around as spider man is just fun and the combat system though some what easy to master is extremely cool and fun. I mean you can win the game with just pressing one butte but i found it much more fun to learn the different combos and aerial techniques.

The frame rate issue many reviewers mention did not really bother me and i found the game running smoothly most of the time. Also the story not having a movie tie in made it alright, i mean its corny and predictable but still decent enough to play through it. The voice work was good almost every where except spider man the guy that they got for spider man is the worst he really takes the fun out of this game.

And being able to change costumes on the fly makes it an even better experience.

Now for all he good thing in this game there are still some bad things. Like the game is to easy you get way to strong way to fast. And the camera can bee and issue some times( i only had it during boss fights in the first 2 chapters) Other than the terrible spider man voice this game is a solid 6,5 out of 10 for me. You should get it if you find it cheap (like i did) or rent it. Dont let the reviews scare you from this game it is OK, mediocre but still there is some entertainment value in it.
