Farcry 2 freeze problem!?
zavage | 4:09 PM on 02.16.2009 8 comments


Ok so I got Farcry 2 for 360 a little after the release day and I was so exited cause I loved the originals and this looked amazing! well yea what can I say the whole game was orgasmic! UNTIL! one day I decided to play again, so I try to load up my file and guess what? nothing. So I wait, loading, loading, loading! A whole hour and it is still at the load up screen So I thought my 360 froze for no reason what so ever, so I am like oh ok it's ok I guess, I HAVE TRIED TO GET IT BACK BUT IT IS ALWAYS AT THE LOAD UP SCREEN!!! WTF!!?? are you telling me the fuckers in ubisoft made me spend 60 dollars on a game that has a bug on it???!!! now you are probably thinking it's probably only my 360 right? RIGHT!? WROOONGG!!! I looked in the internet for some kinda solution but everybody that has gotten to atleast 62% percent of the game it freezes, I heard that ubisoft Is coming for some kinda patch to fix the problem, cause they have been getting complaints of course. Now to most of the people who have this game, and got to that part before me you probably say "that's old news" well that's nice but I don't care if it's old news or not I want the fix!!! I am probably not buying another ubisoft game because of the fact that they might screw it up and leave another bug somewhere. If you like have been through this and you fixed it or something magical that made it work again please tell me, that would be grand.

Oh ya btw if by any chance you haven't gotten near 50 % I suggest you stop right there until there is a fix cause the file will probably go corrupt and not work with or withought the fix making you start from the start. fucking A!

The Experience of Dead space!
zavage | 7:46 PM on 10.17.2008 8 comments


I only have one word for this game only one... PURE EPICNESS!! this game delivers everything I hoped for and a lot more specially the part where me and my friend had to make funny sounds so we don't shit our pants through the gameplay. After that he left leaving me alone with this game thinking "FUCK!" I haven't had much experience with scary games but I knew this game would be a big chunk of my life. Well the starting is you are in a ship and they are sending you to the ishimura or whatever those chinesse call it they are all flying around until The ship gets hit they make a emergency landing on the ship and well... Hell brakes loose.

the Game looks so stunning,



the game is so much fun the targeting system is perfect the only bad thing about this game THE ONLY BAD THING is that you can't turn quick to know those nasty ones breathing down you're neck are not really there even though the background sounds of pipes falling, monsters growling, and Doors going haywire make you think they are all over the place.



The soundtrack keeps you in the edge of you're seat as you hear... every single time you are in trouble this scratchy song comes like someone is flossing they're ass with a violin, which is not helping my stress enough, and It doesn't help to see you're spine (where it shows you're life bar) completely black from so much damage (cause it's usually a blue light) so he is walking like a crippled while grunting of pain ( which is a great feature by the way).



but to all seriousness this is rapture in space it is bioshock but in the future I mean the things you do are just like the stuff you do in bioshock powers, upgrades, store, and even his mask reminds me of a Rosie or big daddy. I am not saying dead space is a rip off from bioshock but hey they are both epic games that MUST BE PLAYED.

So I leave you with this people... BUY the game I truly recommend it If you wanna know the score from meta critic it is 89 that is really good puzzles are fun, shooting, stomping, and hiting is fun, and it doesn't hurt have a little scare this halloween specially with this game. Andif by any chance you think you are gonna start with the sick teaser trailer suit tough luck cause you upgrade the suit which is another great feature but it is not too hard to get I don't like the first one though.

HAVE FUN!

Well I was very excited for Duke nukem 3D to come out for the xbox live arcade and I got it first day and all my memories soon started to relive again as I couldn't belive I was playing this great game again. But twisted Imp got to me and said that after beating every achievement of the game you get 2 pictures of the upcoming game THAT'S RIGHT UPCOMING GAME! Duke Nukem forever so I searched this up and all I can say is to all the deuche bags that hate Duke nukem and think is never coming out well... live with it cause it's coming.

Hail to the King baby

A DUKE NUKEM MOVIE!?
zavage | 10:10 PM on 09.16.2008 2 comments


After 12 to 13 years we have all made fun of the famous duke nukem forever and how fucking long it is taking but now we have a new project at hands to worry about yea that is right A DUKE NUKEM MOVIE! I am a big fan of the duke nukem games but we are all pissed off because of the 13 year game in development. Max Payne producer Scott Faye is the one after all of this and he said "I'm working diligently at making a Duke Nukem movie scenario that will live up to the character and its import in the videogame world... as is the case with all of my game adaptations, I'd rather not make the movie than make a poor adaptation." the Max Payne movie actually doesn't look as bad it actually looks very in the satisfactory state hopefully more satisfactory than that piece of shit disaster movie. Dimension got the rights to duke nukem and unfortunately there is not alot of information but HEAR THIS guess who they are thinking of making Duke Jabroni! THE FUCKING ROCK, ok I can sort of see the duke in him but not enough I know you guys probably thought of a man that could do duke nukem in the big screen probably Arnold, chuck norris, or Gabe newell I don't really know what you're answers were but all we gotta do is wait...Wait that's a familiar word to the 3d realms projects

p.s: can't wait until duke nukem 3D comes out for xbox live XD.

mario hacking talents (the super mario omega review)
zavage | 6:31 PM on 06.15.2008 3 comments


http://www.freewebs.com/higsby/

this is the home of an amazing mario hack game called (super mario omega) it's been in development for 1 and a half year by a very good friend I know called Higsby. Mario Hacking is modifying the contents of an original mario game to make it new and different game.

I asked Higsby "do you change the storyline of the game?"

"well mario doesnt really have a story line (just save the princess and whatever). although some people do create their own storylines by adding in custom bosses and items to collect. Just about every mario hack has a new storyline because many people are getting sick of the whole save the princess thing"

I do agree Im tired of saving that bimbo myself...ANYWAYS!




I've managed to watch Higsby create and play this once and the gameplay is just intense I mean this was alot harder than the originals Higsby added secrets and puzzles that will just blow you're mind.

a level design contest SNN reviewed this awesome hack and they said this
SNN's Comments:

CREATIVITY: 8.5 - I really liked the use of the Koopas, and the non-linearity DIFFICULTY: 8.5 - Stayed consistent throughout APPEAL: 9 - Great choice of colors for the palettes FUNCTIONALITY: 9 - Good, though a lot of bushes were cut off FUN: 8.5 - It was quite an enjoyable playthrough SNN's SYNOPSIS: Hey, this level was cool. The use of Koopas throughout actually didn't get repetitive either, surprisingly. Probably because they were all used in pretty unique ways. I liked all of the hidden secrets that were placed in this level too - it really knocked the replay value up. Be careful with graphical glitches though!OVERALL: 43.5/50 - 87% FirePhoenix's CommentsCreativity: 9/10 Difficulty: 9/10Appeal: 10/10Functionality: 9/10Fun: 10/10 Overall: 47/50 Comments: The palettes were nice and soothing to the eyes. I also liked how you had to find a secret area with the Blue POW then find another one in the area and the Silver POW when you exit to find the secret exit. Creative little puzzle. Difficulty was well-balanced and the level was just fun in general.

Higsby did not win this amazing contest but he was one of the top 5! amazing!

hacks are pretty much opened for anyone (as for me I wanna try it out later.)

here is the map of the game


"a good hack is made with many different programs" " Higsby says

as he used all of these programs to work on this hack:

Translhextion, SMW Player Tilemap Editor, SMW Status Bar Editor, Tile Layer Pro, SMW Tweaker, Blocktool, Spritetool, AddMusic, and many different patches.

the hack is not finished yet he is still working on it but it will be done (sooner than Duke nukem forever im sure.)

IF YOU WANT ANY MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS GAME GO TO:
http://www.freewebs.com/higsby/

or If you wanna pull off you're very own hack well go search up the programs and how they are used cause I have NO CLUE!

personal opinion about ctf
zavage | 4:33 PM on 06.15.2008 12 comments




we have all played CTF on a video game before games like halo, unreal,conker and a millions more in my personal opinion I think its been damn fun through the years to actually play ctf but it's time to look through the problem of this and tell ourselfs "who the hell will go through an open field of flying bullets to get to a piece of cloth stuck on a stick?!" I've told this to many of my friends and family and they all think I'm crazy but of course you don't...right? On team fortress 2 though I can sort of agree since it's INTELLIGENCE (it's a suitcase that holds inside special information of the opposite side) something you need that maybe the other enemy is trying to plan out to terminate you or something.



Im not saying that ctf sucks I just think it is a bit strange to die for such thing maybe if you made the Item more important and not only that but that could make things more original



If perhaps this problem doesn't bother you keep playing ctf!! what the hell!

it's my personal opion anyway...what do you think?

remember kids games don't have to be realistic to have fun.

favorite game of all time: the half life series

favorite 360 game: fallout 3

favorite pc game: duke nukem series... and the half life series



Valve has been in my mind ever since back in 1997 when my uncle brought a pirated copy of half life 1 (yes it's a crime)
I played it and it was like love at first site, when half life 2 was announced in 2004 my fanboy meter exploded couldn't wait but unfortunately back in 2004 my computer was a piece of crap, and I didn't have a xbox at the time either, so I was screwed, but of course I got my xbox along with the game, I gotta admit the second one I liked alot more, later on I got a new pc and added a new graphics card and NOW I own every single game valve has ever developed in steam. do I still play them all? not really after all I would choose team fortress 2 more than classic any day. half life in my personal opinion has the greatest story line of video gaming, the second greatest is fallout, Of course this is my personal opinion you don't have to get medieval on me.

one more thing, ALAN MOORE IS GOD! well the graphic novel god.
