Is it me? or do game companies really target "brain-dead" idiot gamers which basically describes the entire planet. To play the same game over and over? Enough! Stop! already. I swear to god if I see another Dynasty Warriors Game, I'm going to shoot myself. Not literally of course but, enough is enough. Here is why I am pissed, Age of Conan launched officially on the 20 Th this past Wednesday.
Did it get a special on X-play like GTA IV? No, has it been reviewed yet? No. This is brand new MMO and nothing! What a bunch of bullshit! Oh GTA Iv got reviewed by IGN the night before, it's official street date. Which, leads to believe that game sites like IGN and Gamespot are in bed with with these game companies. So my question is who is the Jhon? And which one is the whore? Here in opinion are the franchise that need to go away for good.
1. Sonic Games: It has been a long time sense they have made a good sonic game? STOP! Well I have to admit the sonic game for the Ds was pretty good.
2. Devil May Cry: Oh my God!! I really did enjoyed the first one way back on the PS1. But DMC IV? "ugh! when is it going to stop? it's like film franchise anything past 3 is pushing it.
3. Dynasty Warriors: what are we up to now? DW 19? Fuck!
4. Any WW2 game. there were other wars you know?
5. Mortal Kombat: I remember reading an article that Ed stated he was done with making MK games. Then someone needs to explain to me the upcoming game Dc vs. Mk? Here is something that will really piss of the fan boys! The game is going to be rated T not M. In fact there planning on scaling back the fatality's ho! ho! ho! I can already see the fan outcry on the forums. So no decapitations for you MK fans:(
Yes I know there are so many more franchise that need to go away, but as long there are "brain-dead" idiot fan boys outhere? There is more money to be made. So that mean DCM 5,6,7,8,9 you get the point?

Game Reviewer Site's Pt.1
Mark this day in you calender's boy's and girl's, because this is the day when "gamer" site's get there comeuppance. And once again I will break this post in 2 part's. There gaming site's out there, but there are 2 that come to mind. IGN & Lamespot err I mean Gamespot
First up on the chopping block, IGN we will start with a little background first. Now the important thing to remember is that I am getting this info from Wikipedia.
IGN (formerly Imagine Games Network) is a multimedia news and reviews website that focuses heavily on video games. Its corporate parent is IGN Entertainment, which owns and controls separate sites such as GameSpy, Rotten Tomatoes, and AskMen.
IGN's main website comprises several specialty sites, each occupying a subdomain on IGN. These sites, commonly known as "channels", cover three generations of video gaming: PC Games, Nintendo GameCube, Wii, Nintendo DS, Game Boy, Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PSP, Wireless, N-Gage, PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, and Macintosh. Also provided are Cheats & Codes, FAQs and detailed game guides. In addition, IGN has channels for Movies, DVD, Music, Comics, Gear, Sports, Anime, Cars, Stars (formerly known as "Babes"), and TV. Each channel consists of various subsections, such as Game/Movie Profiles, Product Lists, Previews, Reviews, Features, News, Mailbag, Editor's Choice, Release Dates, as well as links to the aforementioned Cheats, FAQs and Guides.
Now for the fun part, and yes this going be a rant and brutal one at that. Apparently IGN ,have take it upon themselves to review all forms of entertainment. From comic books to video games, they review it all. And normally I agree, in what they say "laughs" not this time. Once again I have to go back to GTA IV well. The person or person's who reviewed the game actually compared it to Ocarina of Time wtf??? are you on crack or something? I know that everybody is entitled to ther opinion, but compare GTA IV to Ocarina of Time is comparing a pile of gold to a pile of shit. GTA being the pile of shit. Now those outthere who have been living on deserted island the last decade or so? Know about the controversy surrounding Gamespot and the Kane&Lynch review. They actually fired one of there staff for giving the game a bad review. And once again I have NO proof what so ever but it makes you wonder if game companies are paying these game reviewer to give there games good reviews? I'm surprised that they haven't gotten around to reviewing the shit I took the other night? Hmm? let's see? based on the size, level of solidity plus how much Tp was used lol!
But today was the final straw, and I am speaking of the Iron Man game review? it's how they reviewed the game after it came out. Oh but how GTA got reviewed before the game came out? Sound's kinda fishy? These idiot's can't even run there site properly, I'm referring to IGN member's I can't even to begin to as how shocked I am sometimes the comments that there "members" I have actually seen hate speech on that site. I wish I had the money to buy IGN, because once I Did. I would fire the entire staff, and replace them with chimps. Because I would bet that trained monkeys could do a better job lol! Because the reviews would be a lot better, but, they would still be flinging there own crap. LAMO!
So in conclusion, I wish IGN would disappear ,for ever because IGN is a complete waste of space and it's something we could do with out. My Overall score of IGN ,is a " 1 "
A Huge Pile Of Fucking Crap!
I would have given them a zero but, they do cover all forms of entertainment. So suck on that IGN!
P.S I plan on sending IGN a copy of this posting, but I will bet that these pussies won't have the balls to respond. More than likely, they will sick there lawyers on me. But that will just prove my point, so IGN I'm calling you out! Let's see how you like someone taking a piss on you for a change.

MADD attack's GTA IV
I came across this article a couple of day's ago. When I read I read it I chuckled, what they don't realize they are just adding to the controversy. Publicity is still publicity good or bad. And you just no that there kid's probably play the game. Talk about being hypocritical:P
The organization is calling on the Entertainment Software Ratings Board, the independent organization that assigns video-game ratings, to reclassify "GTA IV" as an Adults Only game. The action-driving game, which includes the ability to drive while intoxicated, is currently rated Mature.
"Drunk driving is not a game, and it is not a joke," MADD said in a statement released Tuesday. "Drunk driving is a choice, a violent crime and it is also 100 percent preventable."
MADD is also calling on publisher Take-Two Interactive and developer Rockstar Games to consider stopping distribution of the game — which analysts expect to sell 9 million copies and make over $400 million at launch — "out of respect for the millions of victims/survivors of drunk driving."
In the critically acclaimed open-world game, players have the choice of patronizing a bar and then attempting to drive drunk. While virtually under the influence, the screen becomes blurred and the controls are more difficult to use. Players also have the option of hailing a taxi or walking. The intoxication effects wear off after a few minutes in the game.
"We have a great deal of respect for MADD's mission, but we believe the mature audience for 'Grand Theft Auto IV' is more than sophisticated enough to understand the game's content," Rockstar Games said in a statement to The Associated Press on Wednesday. "For the same reason that you can't judge an entire film or television program by a single scene, you can't judge 'Grand Theft Auto IV' by a small aspect of the game."
"GTA IV" follows the criminal exploits of protagonist Niko Bellic, an immigrant-turned-gangster who travels from Eastern Europe to Liberty City, the game's fictional locale based on New York City. As Bellic, players can hijack cars, earn cash for criminal activities, shoot innocent bystanders and visit strip clubs.
MADD declined to comment further about their statement.

Grand Theft Auto Pt.2
Next I will talk about both the driving controls, and the AI for both vehicle's and pedestrians.
First up, driving controls, "laughs" where should I start? hmm? to say that they take some practice in using them is a complete understatement. Normally in previous GTA games way back when, you would use buttons on the analog pad to control driving. Now I can only speak for the 360 version, I like the fact that you utilize both trigger's RT< to accelerate and use your handbrake, and also to back up. What I don't like is the fact you also use the left thumb stick to adjust the camera. Umm? I'm using that to steer the car "chuckles" and the right analog stick is used for free movement. Wtf? I realized this when I had to do my first chase, I kept moving the RT analog stick to adjust the camera. Let's just say it to took me several times to complete the mission, which is find most frustrating about the game. Nice going Rock Star, way to think outside the box guy's "rolls eyes".
Next, let's move on to AI both car and pedestrian's. Let's start with car AI, is too much to ask to have intelligent car AI? I am tired of seeing piss poor car AI, okay this is what I am talking about. I am in the middle of high speed chase, and you would think that vehicle's would want to stay out of you way? Hell no! Is it me?or is it more majority of the vehicle's are being driven by females? The one's I have the most problem with?
Next, we'll talk about pedestrians, again the high speed chase, you would think once again they try to avoid you? Right, and god! heaven forbid you run a couple over, Because then you wanted level goes up. And not only do you have to lose you wanted level, before you can complete the mission. Remember the good ole' day's when you could run them over and not worry so much about your wanted level? And I have read several, reviews in which they stated it was easy to get away from the police? Bullshit! even if get out of your current wanted zone, if another cop spots you the chase will keep continuing. And eventually, you run out road allot of time I would just crash and kill myself just to end the stupid chase.
What ever happened to "if ain't broke? Why? fix it?" in my opinion they totally fucked up this game. On the other hand, I like the fact that they tried to do something different. But they failed miserably:(

Grand Theft Auto 4 Pt.1
"sigh" here we go again with "another" sequel, and I thought DMC 4 sucked! But GTA4 takes sucking to a whole another level. And yes, I have actually played the game. Now not all of the game sucks, but here is what does suck. The driving controls, the car AI, and the stupid pedestrian's! And that's not forget the "social" part of GTA4 hell, they should have called it GTA4 the Sim's. What the hell?? when did this game become the Sim's??? anybody that has played a Grand Theft Auto game know it's about committing crimes, shooting people especially the cops and beating up hookers. For those of you that have played the game yet? Those "boneheads" over at Rock Star Games decided that this was a good idea?? Wtf??? you have a girlfriend in the game? what the hell happened to the hookers?? See the way I see it, is you take her out ,and then fuck her, and not call the next day. Like real life, but no you have to keep seeing her and keep her happy. Because if you don't, she will turn psycho on you. And start leaving you either voice messages or text message's because she wants to hang out? I will admit at first it's a novel idea, but the it becomes boring and tedious task. You want to go out and commit crimes, she wants to talk about you and your feeling's? Holy Crap! and that's not the worse part, You have just have taken a job, contract whatever? And before you can do the job? She calls you wanting to hang out? And if you tell her you can't she's like "thanks allot asshole!"
Same thing with your dumb ass cousin, he either calls and wants to hang out? Or come to save his dumb ass! I can remember one mission, where I am supposed to follow a drug dealer back to his hideout. And as I am tailing him, the phone ring's and spooks the guy. Fuck! Thanks allot asshole! But here is the thing, for some reason it's not a good idea to ignore your cousin or any other contacts? I would guess it effect's game play? I'm not 100% why? but I know I read it somewhere? Fuck, if I can remember where? To be continued
