Ok, so I just completed the single player campaign (on hard) of RAGE for the 360. Since there are varying reviews on the game, I thought I would post my review in case any of you are debating picking this game up.

***possible spoiler alert..if you're really anal, but I'm not giving anything big away***

"I can't make any broad statements about the technical sturdiness of Battlefield 3, other than to express the doubts raised by my experiences at yesterday's demo. I sat down and spent an entire day playing a game that consistently froze and crashed, booting me to the desktop, where I had to reconnect using its odd browser interface. Several times I would start a match, get an enemy in my sights and kill him… only to have his body do a lag-freeze and refuse to go down before being dropped back to the desktop. Read more

Here is some actual gameplay footage of survival mode. I like it! Like horde mode basically...but with better weapons =D

Anyone want my pre-order of Battlefield 3? I really didn't like the beta I played so I'll be dumping this game....

I've already pre-ordered my Hardened Edition...but this morning I get an email reaffirming to me why it was a good idea. More specifically, all that you get.

"Boasting multiplayer maps, memberships, in-game unlockables, and a one-of-a-kind book bound by Call of Duty Modern Warfare's untold secrets, the "Hardened Edition" is the definitive experience for the Call of Duty fan. The MW3 Hardened Edition includes a 1-Year Call of Duty Elite membership and Founder status."

So here is a map of the world zombie saturation....

We're f*cked!

I have a serious problem with this....so COD3 has partnered with Pepsico and is doing a promo where you can eat Doritos and drink mountain dew and enter codes online to give you double XP (15 minutes at a time - gameplay time)

I don't like mountain dew, although I do love Doritos....I don't agree with having external promotions that effect your in-game experience. Especially those that cost money.

Am I overreacting or do you agree?

So I've posted a short video "resume" of my recent work...as I'm beginning to agressively apply for jobs back home.

I'd love some feedback.

NOTE...there is nothing really NSFW in the vid, but there are some bikini babes.

See...I told you all Jon wouldn't notice this change....

Seriously....go to hell Rogers.

Maybe some of my issues are because Shaw is doing the same thing?! They should have to TELL you when they are throttling your connection....

This game certainly looks more realistic than MW3! But that's always been my issue with the franchise. I find it impossible to shoot and kill in this game using my 720p plasma. The one time I played it on a 50' 1080 LCD...it was much, much better....I'll probably buy it anyway ;)

Man....I LOVE the sounds of this game...and the visuals. I think I'm going to need 2 days off for the launch.

Modern Warfare 3's New Strike Packages and Pointstreaks

Before I get into the meat of what Strike Packages mean for Modern Warfare 3, say goodbye to the killstreak. And say hello to pointstreaks, all 28 of them. No longer will player kills be the only way to build up streaks. Sure, kills still count, but in MW3, completing objectives in gametypes like Capture the Flag and Seek and Destroy will reward players with points they can cash in to call in recon drones, attack helicopters, sentries and other power-ups. Kill assists count toward pointstreak numbers too, letting supporting players, not just the dominant virtual marksman have all the fun.

Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling explained the change at Call of Duty XP, saying "the killstreak system was optimized for one game type: Team Deathmatch." Now, players will be rewarded more handsomely for actually completing each gametype's objectives.

wow...looks ah-sum :)

Hey-yo....

Found this little extra gem while tooling around the Moon map by myself. It's a hacker module.
