Their are lot of people out there today saying that the next Xbox will be called the Xbox 720 and it will be coming out in the next two or three years. But to me this sounds fishy. For all I know the next Xbox could be called the 720 that's not the part I think is wrong. I doubt that we will see a new Xbox 2-3 years. I think that Microsoft new console will be coming out now where sooner then 3 years, but more likely to be around 4 to 5 years. The reason why I think is because first if it was going to come out in the next year or two Microsoft would releasing more details about the console, so that we would want it more. Since they are not saying anything at all the console is now where near being ready to come out yet.Plus on top of all that the Knect just came out.Which means Microsoft for the last 2 years or so have been focused on the Kinect not a new console. Theres now way Microsoft would release any new console and till the 360 and Kinect are almost dead and making them no money. Which they are know where close to yet that why I think that the next console is not going to be out for 3 to 4 years. I know new console usually come out every 5 years or so but the Kinect is almost like a new console. I would love to hrea your thoughts send me a email to idk92@live.ca

Total War Shogun 2
Genre:RTS
Available On: PC
Available On: PC
Graphics:
The Graphics in shogun 2 are unbelievable.Yes they are just that good.The graphics are top of the line. They paid attention to every little detail in the game. The environment in shogun 2 are just great. You get the feeling from them that you are on the battle field with your troops.The detail on you troops add to your game exp. This well off help to make you feel like you on the field to. You can zoom right up to one of you man and look at every detail. Just the amount of time that it must of took to research who all the different solders look right down to the smallest details.Then on top of that the time it took to but them into the game. All hafted to say is just wow.There is one down side to all of the good graphics, the game lag and cuts out a little bit. Which can make you made after it happens to you a couple of times.
Gameplay:
The Gameplay in shogun 2 is not bad but just seems like it could be better then it is.They did add lot to the gameplay this time around. You can level up you generals and other special charters. Which is really nice because they can give you a small edge that could help you win the battle or war that you are in.The single player of the game is nothing really new. They just add or change some small thing to make the game follow better. The AI in this game well do anything to win battles they surround you,pull you into traps and ect... Which adds alot to the game.But the online just makes the game worth it. You now have clans on line and fight over different lands with your clan. also you now unlock units and buff by winning battle s and tacking over different lands. Even the online battles are good. It is always fun trying to find out new army setups to use and to win with.Sometime you well find it really hard to get into a game or stay in a game there still are alot of bugs they need to work with it.
Audio:
The Audio in this game is nothing over the top. It actually gets annoying really quick. But it dose fit the game . It just sad that they did not pick some less annoying musics and voice actors because that would have put this game over the top.
Other:
The only thing I can think of is that if they just would fix some of the small bugs in the game. It would be so much better.Oh well this shogun 2 was still really good and well worth the money.
Rating 8.5/10
Making the V11 in Zombie Useful
Most of you out there think that the V11 was a wasted . But it is not if it is pack punch it can make Georg go away for two rounds. Also it can save your life over and over again. Like If you are being surround by zombies you shoot one and watch them all chase him giving you time to get to away. Also if your playing on line and one of your team mates have it then they can shoot you with and the Zombie will not attack you and tell the effect wares off. I recommend using the V11 on line with team mates more then if you are playing solo, because if you are playing solo then it is not so useful. You would be better off using another gun. But when playing online it is always good to have one person on you team have it that way you have more option and will last longer in the game. If used right.
The V11 is actually a really good power weapon if you know what it can do. Quick review. V11 can turn zombie into business man and they will lead the rest of the zombie away. If you shoot a team mate with it they well be able to walk past zombie with out get attacked. Final when pack a punch it can be used to take Georg off you hand for a round or two.

Hawaii Five-0 First Season is almost over.
Hawaii Five-0 first season is all most over. This show just started this year. At first when every one heard that they where making Hawaii Five-0 Episode again there was a little of a fog in the air. Everyone though they where going to just find new actor to play the old characters and continues from where they lefted off.But Now they did not. They took the show in a whole new way. They tied them to gather by having one of the charters sons from the last show star in this show. The first episode in Steve Mcgarrett returns home to Oahu. After his farther his killed . He want to find the man who killed his dad and bring him to justice. The govern offers him job as the leader of a new task force that he could pick.
The Five-0 task force is made up of Danny "Danno" Who is cop from New Jersey and is in Hawaii to stay close to his daughter.Chin Ho Kelly is one of Steve farther's friend from the force who was kicked off because they think he stole money, but can not prove it.The Finlay team member is Kono Kalakaua Chin cousin who is new to the job but has alot of skills that can come in handy.
Hawaii Five-0 is not that family friendly is made for 13 in up I would say. So if you have older family it is a good way to spend your Monday nights. It is pack full of action and drama that is mixed together so well.This show follows nicely and before you now the show over and it leave you wanting more.
You can see from the attention to detail in every episode that they really care about what they are doing and that they want to make the best cop/crime fighter show out there today.It is not far off. The part that I find the most inserting is who they do not just focus on the main story. They tie all of the episodes together through the charters and their story that they have always going on the side.This helps to keep you watching to see what is going to happen next. Unlike CIS where the whole focus is on whatever case they are working on, with every little other side story to tie the show together.
The cast works really well together. They feed off each other and you can tell that every one in this show is putting in their best work. The 4 main actors Alex O'loighlin, Dainel Dae Kim, Grace Park and Scott Caan work fantastically with each other. They make you feel like you are actually their in the show with them.
The only big down side I can think for this show right now is that sometimes there is just way to much going on to keep track of it and next thing you know you have no clue what going on. Your lost which is not good. Also I do not know who long they can drag out some the side story that make this show so good for. I think it's going to get to point where the show just going to go down hill just as fast as it came up or faster.
I would recommend this show to any looking for new cop/crime fighting show is not so unique but cool.
Drunk gaming made by Alli from CTFXC
The reason why I'm posting about Drunk gaming is because I'm not sure if it is a good thing or bad.When I first found out that Alli was making gaming videos and that they where not going to be like any other gaming vids out their today I was looking forward. I really could not wait to see what her and her brother where going to do. When I start to think about I thought that they would like play the game then try to do something in real life that would be like what they did in the game. But then when the first video was released I not sure what to think about them at all.
Do not get me wrong they are fun to watch and interesting.But it the whole fact that it is kinda promoting drinking. Even tho they say that they are not. They really are. You got to think about who would be watching these videos and who watches gaming videos. Most people who watch gaming video are most likely between the ages of 10 to 18. Yes I know there is big number of older people who watch gaming videos which is great. But the fact still remains that alot of younger gamers well be watching these videos. No not every young gamer that watch Drunk gaming is going to go try it. That is not what I'm saying. But there will be those young gamers out there, that will watch and say to them self that looks like fun I should go do or try that with my friends.
If you think like that you can see my point. I'm not saying get ride of them or anything. I just would like to see some sort of warning before the video's that way parents will know what their child is about to watch. Even if at the end if they came on and said that drinking under age or something is bad and you should not do it. Yes I know that still is not going to stop the young gamers or young people from watching them. But it just meted be enuf to stop them from drinking before they should. It also makes them look more responsible too.
That just my thought.Anyway I did like Drunk gaming. It was really funny and creative.Keep them coming just try to add some warnings or something in that way bunch of kids do not go and try it.
Call of the Dead : Black ops new zombie map: How to live.
I have been playing alot of the new black ops zombie map : call of the dead. And I think I know how to live as longer. So first off the best way to play any Zombies map is to play with 3 other friends. I guess you could play with randoms too, but I would think it would be funner and easier to play with people you know.
So here I go. Remember not to shoot George A.Romero, if you are not sure who he is.Well he is the big Zombie that come out of the water at the start of the game. If you shoot him he goes on a rampage and will chase you around and kill you . If some shoots every one or just the person he picks to chase has to run into the water to clam him down.Another thing about the water is it is very cold and if you stay into the water for too long you will freeze.
Now that we got some of the smaller things out of the way. I recommend to not open up any of the boat for 5 or 6 rounds.If you have 4 players that are good at the game you should be able to hold the zombie for about 5 or 6 rounds. Me and my friends are able to last for 5 rounds most of the time just using are hand guns, depending or what power ups drop. Like if max ammo drops or instant kill then you should be fine there for a bit.When a instant kill drops stop shooting and start knifing only shoot if you hafted too.So when you are holding at the start split up and in to two and each take a side of the starting area.If you every feel like you need to get out of there open up the boat going to the big boat not the one going to light house. Also right off the start of the game look into the sky and look for the big bluish light because that is where the box will be.
After opening up towards to boat every one should buy the SMG on the wall right beside the stairs on the boat.Then try to hold out on the first level of the boat for as long as you can maybe a round or two. Then open up to the top and have every one run up to the top of the boat with you. If the box is on the second level of the boat. then make a crawl and use the box. But first go the top of the boat and turn on the power. Just follow the arrows on the wall if you are not sure where to go. If you do not know what a crawler is, well it is when you take out the legs of the zombie by throwing a grenade at it. Then let i follow you around.So like I was saying use the box but do not over use it. You well need around 2750 points to open up the doors in the next 2 rounds. you will also need 2500 each to but juggernaut. Which is a must have to live past live 13 in this game.Oh ya and why you have the crawler you should Shoot George A.Romero and all run into the water where you started that way he has to walk as slow ass all the way back. you should do this when ever you get a chance too.
Before killing the crawl you made you should all gather at the next door.Which is on the level one of the boat on the far side. It leads to the second haft of the boat.So once you are all there kill the crawler. If the box was not on the 2 level them skip the last steps and start with gathering at the door to the second haft after turning on the power.Hold here for a bit as soon as you and your team feel like shit we are fucked open up the door and jump across.Now be careful zombies well come from every where if you are out of ammo run to the far left side of the boat at the back and there will be gun on wall just before the stairs. Watch out zombie will come up the stairs. As soon as this round is dieing down have every one run down the stairs and go into the first door on your left and open up the door in there.Just make sure every one has around 2500 points after opening the door . It would not hurt if some one had 3500 points that way they could open the next door up.
Have every one run into the room you just open and go across the water and up the stairs on the far side which is where you well find juggernaut. After every one has got finish up the round and start the next one. Hold in the room and till you are almost fuck then have some one with 1000 points open the door up the staris next to juggernaut also keep a look out for George A.Romero.Your next goal well be trying to get the light house.
At this point every one should be running low on points so make a crawler and run back down through juggernaut and up the stairs to where you first jump on too this haft of the boat. Remember to stick into twos and have every one close to each other.Now go to the little ramp thing you jump off to get onto the boat and jump down blow it this pathway will lead back to the starting.If you have enuff point you might want to be quick revive at this time but that just a thought. make sure some one as 750 points to open the other boat that leads into the cave up to the light house. head up to the light house. Kill you crawler after making sure George A.Romero is far away. now fight off the next wave of zombies. Watch out they will come from all around you well you are fighting them off head down the stairs into the building your are on top of and then down the stairs in side that building and open up the door to the inside of the light house. Now open all the way up to the top. The top of the light house is the best stop to hold off the on coming zombies. Keep two people on the stairs and then have the other two cover the windows at the top of the light house.You have the zip line to make a quick get away if you hafted too.The best guns to use is a light machine gun of the ray gun to hold the zombie back one the stairs. So if you do not have those go fine the box and try to get them.Make sure to keep telling every one whats going on that is key to doing well in the zombie maps. So now just keep using the top of the light house and see how long you can lasted.
Remember to use pack punch which will spawns in different spots all over the map . To find just look up the light house and follow the light to the pack punch.So that is my tips on how to live for many many rounds on the call of the dead map.
Just mack a crawler when you need some time to get shit also keep George A.Romero as far away as you can and do not shoot him or he will rage on you.They add George to the game to stop us from camping in spots and to mack the game harder for us and they did.If you must open up the doors to get away. There no use to keep them there since George A.Romero is chasing you around. And use the new V11 to help you out. Quick last tip if you pack punch the v11 and shoot George A.Romero with it in the water he well go away for a bite. But not for every. Remember just to have fun and keep trying new thing. Also look around for all the little thing that they have add to map and just play with different things. Yaa that just sounds wrong. Anyway keep checking back for more post about the new Black Ops maps and even more tips.
Ps. Remeber to pick other perks that are all over the map to help make your life easier.Also remember to hop across the water so you do freeze init.

The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
All I can say is about time. I have been waiting for the next Elder Scrolls game for so long now. And on top of that the trailer for Skyrim looks so good. They make me went to play it right now. If you have not seen the Trailer here it is give it a watch:
The Story behind Skyrim is that you are the only one left that well be able to kill the evil dragon that has returned . So that is the basic that I get from watching the trailer.Sykrim promises to give us even more options to make then Oblivion did. Which is just crazy because if that is the fact then there will be so much to do and so much to play with.
This game just is going to be so overwhelming at first. You mind just start thinking about who fun this game is going to be .And if you are going to play a mage or battle mage, archer or any other class you could think of.
I have not only seen good thing about this game I have also been told some pretty mind rattling things to. Like they are talking about removing mounts from the game. Which if they do would piss me right off because we all know that the game is going to be huge ass game and if he hafted to walk or run every where it is going to take for every. Which would be sad because alot of us do not play the game just to spend hours running around. When if we had mounts it only take min's to get place. They sad that they are think about because they think mounts take away from the game. Bullshit they add to the game.
What gather from the trailer and what I have read and seen is that this game is set in a Barbarian environment.Which looks to be well finished.The Barbarian look to the game is kinda new. I can not think of one big game that has used that fell and look before. I just hope if this is the case and they are going for the Barbarian look and fell that get it right.
Skyrim also better come out with no big glitches just due to the fact they have been working on it for a long time now not has long has D3 but still I think that it should be able to run fast and smooth right out the gate . I would not be to Happy if it did not after waiting this long for .
Well that all I got to say for now. Skyrim will be out on 11.11.11

Call of Duty: Black Ops - Special Grenades
Has anyone noticed that when playing Black Ops online, no matter where you go you seem to get instantly blinded or slowed by a flashbang or concussion grenade? It just seems that every time you run from your spawn location, to the action you end up getting instantly effected by a special grenade then you instantly die, which results in yet another respawn across the map, and another adventure across the actionless environment all the way to the firefight only to be killed again while you were blinded or slowed. I realize that there is a counter, being the Tactical Mask Pro perk, however, this perk can be a pain to obtain and not everyone wants to have to rely on a perk in order to make the game playable.
Now this may just be my opinion, I mean there aren't a lot of complaints going around about the use of special grenades. Actually, there isn't even much complaining about noob tubers these days. However, the last few nights on Live, about 90% of my deaths were somehow related to a special grenade. Now if these were instances in which one special grenade went off near me and I died as a result, then I find that acceptable. However, this is not what's happening. I end up in an endless array of being blind and slowed simultaneously and consecutively with 3-4 grenades flying in my direction and going off for about 20 seconds straight followed by the enemy team finally realizing that I can't fight back and gunning me down while I'm completely unaware of what happened.
I don't know what can be done with this issue. I mean, maybe it's just a phase that Call of Duty players are going through. However, if this continues, I personally find the game almost unplayable especically when an organized team is playing (ie clan) in which they collectively converge on positions. I just really hope that this ends soon, or I may be looking into finding a new FPS to play until it ends.

Would You Buy a 3DTV?
Despite the media and the television manufacturer's obsession with the 3DTV, the public seems to have been "left out of the loop" and has hardly been hyped at all, despite this new technology. Many of the people I talk to say that they're avoiding the 3DTV due to the price. However, if we were to disregard the price of the 3DTV, what else is holding us back?
The reason I ask this is because, despite the price of technology, eventually people start to cave and the technology becomes the norm in people's homes. For example, at first people were completely appauled at the idea of Blu-Ray players and their affiliated movies. Now, there are complete isles in stores dedicated to Blu-Ray discs and there are tons of players on the market. Back to the 3DTV now, it seems that nobody is buying them, despite the fact that they have been out for a while. Is the technology just before it's time?
This is a possibility considering the fact that a lot of people still use, or until recently used CRT TVs. A lot of people are just starting to buy LCD screens with HDMI cables and better speakers with all the works that comes with HD. Nobody wants to go out and buy something that has the same quality, but seems to pop out of the screen at you. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone that specifically requested that they're movies seem as though they were coming at them. It may be cool in the theatres, but I bet a lot of people feel like morons with those glasses on. And who want to wear them in the comfort of their own home. However, is this the root of the problem with the 3DTV?
One the biggest problems that I hear my friends talk about when looking at the 3DTV is the fact that there is a limited amount of media that can be used with it. There are some video games, and movies that are 3D ready, however, broadcasters can't even send out 3D signals yet. In fact, they don't even have true 1080p signals as of yet, meaning we don't even have the technology to broadcast out TV shows in the full 2D HD at the moment, let alone worry about the 3D market. This extremely limits the functionality of the 3DTV and also poses another point in the fact that it may just be too early to release this technology to the public.
Whether you have, want, or hate the 3DTV it's existence is up for debate. Many people think that it's great that technology is advancing so quickly, however, there are also many that believe it's starting to outrun itself. The few that have 3DTVs may be enjoying their purchase, however, the fact that there is such limited functionality at such a high price means it is an instant turn off for the majority of the market. No matter where your feelings lie in this matter, the 3DTV is a technological feat and will continue to be sold, despite it's lack of sales.

New Black ops Map Pack Escalation
I just finished playing a little bitted of the new Black Ops maps. And this is what I think of them. First off there are 4 new online maps Zoo, Hotel,Convoy and Stockpile.On top of that there is a brand new Zombie map too. It is call , Call of The Dead and it is fucked up.
The next map is Hotel. Hotel is a lot like high rise from the last CoD game.It is splits it self into three different running path that you can take to get from one side of the building to the other.This map has way to much going on with it. There is just way to many building and shit on the map. If they just toned down the map just a little bit this map would be really good.There are elevators in this map which I really like to use. They go from the bottomto the top floor of each of the two building on either side of the map.They are fun to use as a decoys. You can just call them down if they are at the top floor then quickly run up the stairs as you enemy is running to camp the elevators doors. There are two of them in each building.Thats all I have to say about Hotel at this time.
The final online map is Stockpile.This map is not best. I do not like. It main focus is the one center building which is not bad. but it is too hard to hold the building. There are just way to many ways to get into the building. This map is just a little bit to small. They packed way to much in the map for the size of the map. If they removed some of the shit from the map or even just mad it bigger this map would be sick.That all I have to stay about it.
The Escalation map pack has ups and down but it is every easy to see where all there hard work went and that was to the Call of the Dead map.They put more work into the new zombie maps , but that dose not mean that the online maps sucks. They are good too, There was just more room for improvement on them. This map pack is a must buy for the Black ops players.
