Epic Games + People Can Fly = Bulletstorm


TAKE COVER!!!!!! Hey guys this is D.A.R. Jr. again and I want you to know about the latest game by Epic Games and People Can Fly! This is Bulletstorm! Now it may seem that it is full of toilet humor, but what makes it special is it's context which makes Bulletstorm a violent popcorn shooter that plays well with its design. The story is set in a future full of pirates and American Civil War cliches. The main protagonist is former Confederate operative turned outlaw, Grayson Hunt, who spent his post-Confederacy time screwing with his former Commander. Eventually when the opportunity comes, Hunt and his also-outlawed crew Dead Echo, set sail for the planet Stygia to land a blow against the heart of Confederacy. It's up to him and his crew to get the survivors off Stygia and get some revenge that he so desparetly wants. He ends finding a Leash, which is a Confederate energy weapon with artificial intelligence. This allows Grayson to snag enemies and toss them into the air in slow motion. the AI was design to evaluate combat performance and rewards combat bravado in the form of points that can be redeemed at resupply pods which are scattered throughout the planet. You can dicscover EPIC COMBOS WITH THE LEASH AND SOME DESTRUCTIBLE ENVIRONMENTS HOLY $#@%!!! Sorry, I needed a moment there...Anywho, There are also upgrades for various weapons, which apparently aren't that different from other games. However Bulletstorm provides a welcome dose of functionality and suspension of disbelief to its combo system. Buletstorm's well-spaced story is full of HILARIOUSLY EPIC PARTS LIKE BLOWING UP HUGE PARTS OF A CITY AND MORE THAN ONE GIANT MONSTOR MOMENT!!! DAAH - Sorry I'm not myself today. Well that's all my source gave me and I really can't wait to play it myself!! So until next time...this is it...for now...

A First-person Experience: Killzone 3


BAANG!! Hey this is D.A.R. Jr. with a review on Sony and Guerrilla Games' Killzone 3! Alot of FPS games can put you in first-person with a gun in your virtual fingers. However few of them make you feel like your actually there, which is why this is a "First-person experience". Every action you do in Killzone 3 appears very realistic. The combat is more intense and savage than other shooters, and this design is what makes Killzone 3 so absorbing and fun even though my sources tell me that it has a weak story. It's basically all about war between 2 sides; one side is the good guys with human faces, the ISA. The other side consists of the guys with the red-goggled masks who want to subdue the universe known as the Helghast. The story picks up where Killzone 2 left off, where some ISA soldiers are left on the hostile Helghan homeworld. You play as Sev from the second game who wants to do as much damage to the enemy as possible before being rescued, captured, or killed. I'm not gonna tell you the whole story, but my sources tell me that they were disappointed with where it went exactly. The story in general, so I've been told by my sources tell me (I have friends who have it), is like an afterthought. As though it was figured out after they made all these awesome levels and had to put them together somehow. But like I said, Killzone 3 succeeds as a hilariously cool FPS. Guerrilla also did a good job when it came to parts of the game when you are on foot, or in AN AWESOME SUPER POWERED VEHICLE!!!! Anyway, Guerrilla has done it again and gave their all! So that's what I have for Killzone 3, so see ya next time!!

LEEETS GET REAADY TO RUUUMBLEEEEEEE!!!


That right ladys and gentle men today is going to be spectical as we see these two heavy weight company battle for the fate of this world. Yes I am Cardinal - WRATH and today i will be talking about Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (I will not call it the fate of two worlds only because it sounds better without it). OH MAN before i say anything let me tell you the ordeal i had to go through just to get one for PS3 I mean I had to go to two different Gamestops to find the freaking thing. Anyway on to the game holy shit is freaking awsome now ill admit im not the best fighter i mean im not afraid to admit it you go against me theres alway going to be a 40/60 chance. An that when ill start button mashing and just go ape shit on the controlller but that wont hinder ther review any enough rambaling. Well first let strat with the game play, well like any old fighter even for MVC to execute certain moves theres the old classic half circle somthin. But MVC 3 does it completely different what i got out of all this is the game and fightinh is wildly based on how well you can chain can perform combos. Even the ultimate move is called hyper combo. But they arent to difficult to perform just all about speed. Now to the fighting screen well when i first played MVC i was pretty astound by the tag team engin in corperated, how you can switch between fighters in a team of two characters. But OMG, (LOL IRONIC) when i saw you can play in a three character team i nearly shit my pants and then i thought this must have replaced the helper function from the first game. This function also adds a strategic aspec to the game because you can summon one partner to do one of its move you selected from the character select screen to use in the fight, and just like in the past MVC you and your partner can double team hypers can let loose with major poun. But this is where the strategic thing comes in you can summon your partner to come in and attack but if it gets attacked it will take damage and it will come out of their stamina so be smart and summon at the right time. Now lets move on to the modes OK the new awsome online mode lets you fight against other players and their teams of three to either rank up or earn PP (player points, used to unlock all sorts of shit). Ranks and information will be shown by your license which i dont know exactly how it works but it show you reigion (like USA so dont worry not specific). Next they unlockables aw yes the unlocks well simple stuff pic, sounds, character bios, and videos nothing all that special but yea somthing to do mustly got to do with who you finish off the final boss with which I will not say. Now to end this post lets list all the fighter you get from the start and one character you unlock cuz i only unlocked one so far but will be playing.

Playstation Classics: Oddworld








IN ODD WE TRUST!!!!! Hey this is D.A.R. Jr. again and I REALLY want to tell you about the weirdest $#@$&*! game I used to play when I was a kid. In fact it still is the weirdest game I've ever played. Even the name of the game says it weird! It's called Oddworld and there were about 4 console games on the PS1 and Xbox (the pictures you see here are their front covers). In the first 2 games, you play as what is known as a "Mudokon" named Abe who is trying to free his fellow brethren from enslavement. These Mudokons were used as slaves as well as a source of meat for a company's products (the company's name is Tasty Treats...Yeah I don't know...) Along the way, Abe meets the Mudokon's spiritual leader who calls himself the BigFace. BigFace told him of a time when the Mudokon race once lived freely before their enslavement. There was also a prophecy that spoke of their savior. BigFace sees that Abe is destined to become the Savior and therefore gives him his mystical powers, which are shown through awesome mystical tattoos. The player would uses these mystical powers to possess and control enemies into doing whatever couldn't be done such as opening doors, fighting other enemies, flying somewhere, or commit suicide. You could also have them blown up. HILARIOUS! In the later Xbox games more characters were introduced. In this installment called Munch's Oddyssey (see picture here) a little...fish...frog...creature known as a "Gabbit" named Munch whom is aided by Abe to find the very last can of caviar called "Gabbiar" that is made from Gabbits. While playing, you could switch between Abe and Munch by pressing the black button on the Xbox controller. This is the last can, and Munch is the last Gabbit. Munch had some sort of device on his head that allowed him to ZAP his enemies and control certain objects. Like Abe, he also had little furry friends helping him out called "Fuzzles". And unfortunately for him...since he only had one leg...there were also wheel chairs for him so that he could move faster with Abe during missions. And unlike the PS1 games, the Xbox games where 3-dimensional. It was like a huge PC RPG game since you could send the Mudokons you rescued into battle against enemies, you could also slap around your enemies until they just dropped dead. VERY FUN AND HYSTERICAL!! You could even press and hold the X button on the Xbox controller to have Abe fart, or have Munch burp...I really don't know why but it was possible in the previous games and the command was listed as "Special Move". HA HA HA!!!!!!!! Unfortunately that was the end of Abe and Munch's adventures because in the latest game, also on the Xbox, followed a different character known as Stranger in Stranger's Wrath. Stranger is a rare creature in Oddworld known as a "Steef" with 4 legs that are concealed within those huge boots that you see in the front cover here. Stranger is a badass bounty hunter who doesn't use guns. Instead he uses a crossbow with whatever he can catch or buy from the general store. His ammo pack would include fuzzles, tiny squirrels that talk too much and were used to lure the enemy, spiders that could shoot huge webs, used to tie up your victim, a skunk that can stun large groups of enemies, something called a "thudslug" that was used as a cannon ball, "Boombats" that work as rockets, wasps that were used as sniper bullets, and Zappiflies which were used to ZAP your enemy and control certain objects. The game utilized both 1st and 3rd person and you had to be in 1st person to use the crossbow. This game also had a huge twist...you start off as a bounty hunter...but toward the end you lead an army in a war for water. WHAT A TWIST!!! Oh and I forgot to mention this...each installment in the series, excluding Stranger's Wrath, was based on karma, meaning that if Abe or Munch didn't save enough Mudokons or Fuzzles you would get the very unfortunate "Bad Ending". The bad ending would show a cut scene in which basically...you die. And then you would have to start ALL OVER. W...T...F!!! Oh and also...there is a remake of Stranger's Wrath set to be released later 2011. AWESOMENESS. Alright so that's what I have for this month's classic so until next time...this is it...for now...HA HA HA HAAAAA!!!!

Welcome to the Family



Whoooooa!!!!!! Hey it's D.A.R. Jr. again make sure you wear something nice, because we're gettin' made in Mafia 2! Ok the story begins with the main protagonist, Vito Scaletta as he narrates this story in flashback. He basically tells of what life was like growing up with his family after moving from Sicily to Empire Bay in America. His story goes on of about the first time he met his friend Joe Barbaro and of the time he got arrested at age 18. This was during WW2, and the Army needed Italian speakers in Italy, so they gave him a choice: got to jail, or the Army. He chose the Army, so they recruited Vito and sent him to war. That's where you start playing as Vito and his fellow soldiers against the enemy in a battle of WW2. He later suffers a gunshot wound and was sent home on leave. There he meets up with Joe to celebrate. Joe also gets Vito out of the Service for good by getting a fake document saying that he can't fight anymore. I' m not really not gonna tell you the whole story, so let's just say that you steal cars, gas stamps, get into fights in jail, and kill alot of people who stand against you. Eventually both Joe and Vito get made and become full members of the American Mafia. You can also rob stores, and bribe cops. And if you wanna rob stores, be careful about robbing the gun store, because the old guy behind the counter is usually armed. Why wouldn't he be? Anyway, weapons include the Colt 1911, Thompson 1928/M1A1, a 12-gauge shotgun, M3 submachine gun, .38 revolver, some hand grenades and even some Molotov cocktail. Vehicles and music in the game are 40s and 50s based, so you'll see cars like the one in the picture here. It's a fun game and besides sticking to your objective, you can pretty much do whatever you want in the city! Alright that's all I have for now so until my next post. Bye now!!

Keep an Open heart







Well Im Sorry to Do this but like any other job i do have quota an the boss is power hungrey secritary banging dick head. But i have to do this well first da intro sup dis is Cardinal - Wrath and dis is my review on kingdom hearts : birth By sleep. (ANGERLY SIGHING) I fucking hate doing dis shit all formal like but im being forced against my will to do this and i never really had any time on think of wat to say so sorry that most of my shit is either wrong or not all that good and im having a fucked up day so watever. well let start with the story again u all know i dont give any info that can spoil the to anyone hasnt played it so lets just start with the publisied info. The Game is based WAY WAY WAY before the first friggin game to a time when keyblade were handed out like the house handed out seat to nearly ever republican who asked for it ( By the way im not democratic nor republican i just live in the country). We follow the lives of terra, aqua, and ventus (EARTH, AIR, WATER call the fucking Avatar lol bad movie reference). As you progress through each characters story you learn more bout themselves and every stroy intertwine nicely. Well this could take forever if i go into complete detail bout their storys so im just going to try and sum up each charaters story with one word

AQUA: AREGENT (MAGIC)

TERRA: REBEL (STRENGTH)

VENTUS: CONFUSED (not in a gay not theres anything wrong with that oh and BOTH)
an yes there is a secret movie too so yea but i will give you some advice if you are going to go all out and do everything then i say be careful of wat difficulty you choose easier it is harder to unlock but dont worry. So know here my view on it first gotta say this is my favorite in the whole franchise especially with the whole new system then the other two speacilly chain of memory the games system is more or less the same as chain of memory. You have deck with a limited slot (LAME BUT ATTACKS AWSOME) each character like said above has a unique attribute to each one so you might want to equip your attacks the enhance that attribute to strengthen you character. But if your really hard core thaqn you want to try beating the game with no attack equipped and just go all out with just the keyblade. Now to the newly added multiplayer system whoo boy okay the system AKA (in the game) the MIRAGE ARENA you are to team up with your friends to take on challenges and other game. Now wats specifically awesome with this system is the D link which allow to link with other players which let you use there decks in solo or multiplayer.Now to end this let me just say that from here on out PLAY EVERY im mean EVERY Kingdom hearts game that is released even re code casue they will tigh in to the second and third game and even birth by sleep abs those who played re chain of memorys of remix you all know why. so for now this is WRATH saying keep playing.
