Wii-U The End Of An Era

The Godfather of American video game consoles and founding father of the Atari Nolan Bushnell gave Nintendo a verbal beat down today when he said the following about the Wii U "I don't think its going to be a big success " then follows up with "I am actually baffled by it " and then the final smack down on the new console " feels like the end of an era " . Ouch .

Breaking : Sony Stocks Downgraded To Junk Status

Breaking News Update

 Tucked safely away from the public eye is a report that Sony's stock worth has been downgraded to "junk" . For those of you who know little about the stock markets this is very bad news for the tech giant. Junk status stocks effect a company in many different although all negative ways because it tags the stock as risky. Sony is not the only tech giant however with Panasonic also being downgraded to junk. Now the question is how this is going to effect Ps3 and Vita owners in the future ? Sony will have to try to bring in more money and allot of it . This is just a feeling but this could lead to measures like charging for Playstation Network access . Its hard to even imagine Sony's financial woes considering the amount of money I drop in my PSN store wallet ever month.

Xbox Black Ops 2 Patch Released While PS3 Suffers

 This is just amazing ...... Today on GameSpot there is an article about a new Black Ops 2 patch update available for the Xbox360 . Whats the problem then? Well the problem is the PS3 is the console that has been suffering the most problems with freezing ect . Why would they release a patch for the Xbox 360 when record numbers of PS3 users are suffering constant freezing problems , connection problems and hit detection problems ? Its starting to look official ...... Microsoft and the COD franchise are workinh together under a better "deal" than Sony . Let it be said though that all players of Black Ops 2 are ripped out of $60 anyways however you look at it . With sub-par multiplayer that hardly works , no leaderboards or kill streaks that made COD what it is today we are all ripped off $60 dollars and hate me all you want but its the truth . Have fun playing your game thats going to brick your console from freezing and corrupted files just in time for the next generation consoles .....suspicious? Yup.

Ragnarok Odyssey Review

 Ragnarok Odyssey is one of those games that has received mixed reviews. Mainsream gaming websites like IGN gave the game horrible reviews as usual ( see biased review article below ) and others even gave it a 10/10 . What some people fail to realize is that Ragnarok Odyssey has a different vision for the game on the vita than some would expect and that vision comes to life and fruitation . Some complained the the RPG elements were not "deep" enough ; however , Ragnarok is deep in its own original way and strives to be what Vita owners want it to be ..... a game thats fun to play on the go and easy to put down after spending what time you can spare on the handheld. This works well because Vita owners sometimes need and crave a game thats fun and original without being overwhelming and Ragnarok Odyssey does this perfectly. The gameplay is addictive with lots of missions and side missions and even online and co-op .
 You can choose between different classes that can be changed and switched up anytime during the game .... a welcome change compared to other RPG's . The ranking system is different in that you need to kill monsters and loot cards that you can equip to your clothing for dfferent abbilities and you have to choose which ones to equip ..... choose the wrong cards and you fail that simple. Boss battles are very fun indeed and these offer the longer and more difficult aspects of the Ragnarok gameplay for the more hardcore gamers and the more casual can always use multiplayer for help defeating a boss if thats whats needed . Graphics are great on the Vita's screen and even though you do play some erea's over and over there are always different monsters and things to do making it not so bad but still effecting the overal score of the game in general.  In true monster hunter tradition you will face many different species of monsters to battle with and the combat system is simple yet welcome because it works flawlessly ..... besides who need too much complicated procedures in a game that makes the simple attack system as addictive as it is? Replay value is also a plus as you can play through as many other classes sometimes using swords and other blunt instraments and magic and arrows in others .
 Alltogether Ragnarok Odyssey does what it sets out to do and that is to keep you addicted to the simple yet fun gameplay thats easy to use on the Vita and fits the handheld like a glove. This is a game that should be purchased because it will bring you many hours of fun in an original way . The artwork style alone makes the game a must have ( something few gamers still appreciate ) for both hardcore and casual gamers alike .

Plus

Great graphics and original artwork
Deep gameplay without getting too deep
Original creatures and monsters
Great boss fights
Replay value
Multiplayer and co-op
Original

Negative

Map repetition
Strange rank system

Verdict

8.2 / 10   Great

Next Generation Playstation/Xbox Explained

It does not take a genius to figure out ( my reliable inside source helps also ) that the next gen "consoles" coming out in 2013 are not really consoles at all. As a matter of fact you will never buy or see another HD and/or Blue Ray disc again after you say fairwell to your current PS3 or Xbox360 . If you think this is all hearsay do your own research and you will easily find the fact that developers already have this hardware and are in fact developing new games for these new "consoles" as I write this. Farther research will also net you the knowledge that game producer after game producer have been closing up shop recently ....... the reasons they give for these actions... and I quote " steep decline in console game demand " uttered by both Eurocom ( 007 Legends ) and Nihilistic ( Black Ops Declassified ) right before they both moved into portable gaming ( iPhone ) moving forward . Needless to say these are a very few exapmles of very large video game producers going under and fast . Most game sales now are almost all on portable devices like Nintendo DS / 3DS , Sony PSP/Vita , tablets and phones . People are simply not willing to dish out $60 per game anymore and its starting to take its toll on the software corporations .
 Next generation consoles will be cloud based and without disk slots or trays . Video games will be purchased from the cloud and the cloud only . Blue-Ray movies , music and everything else will all be digital . The consoles will be very small ( no disk drive ) and most likely playable also as a gaming portable tablet on the go that can also be plugged into an HD T.V if and when you desire a "console" experience and not like the Wii-U where you have both the tablet and console ; but , a tablet that can itself be converted for home entertainment purposes. Dont believe me ? Go ahead and tell me so I can rub this time and dated article right in your face next year .

Persona 4 Golden Review

 The Playstation Vita started off with very limited games to choose from and lacking any kind of "system sellers" so with the re-release of an updated Persona 4 Golden is a God send for Sony's handheld . How can I even begin to explain how brilliant this game really is without sounding like a zealot ? Impossible to be honest. Persona 4 Golden is a re-mastered version of the original Shin Megami Tensei series of persona 4 released on December 9, 2008 for the PS2 .
 The game is a complicated and addictive mixture of life simulation and dungeon JRPG amongst other things. Your a new transfer student to a new small town in Japan and find yourself juggling a complicated murder scenario and high school social life with everything you can imagine related involved . The story is one of the greatest ever told on any video game and the voice acting stands as some of the finest voice acting ever achieved in gaming . Every time you think you have some of the story figured out the twist's and turns just keep coming and do not relent until the very end . While playing this game you feel as if you are actually living this boys life and become so involved with the other characters you will be hard pressed to set the game down for bathroom breaks.
 The original game is widely considered one of the best games ever made and now with the game remastered in HD with tons of extra's like music video's , animations from every persona game ever made , older and new trailers , ect ect , on and on it goes. The game feels like it was always meant to be played on the vita and that somehow the Atlus developers could see in the future and made this game with the future Vita in mind. Software updates will not be needed here as this game is perfection and anything else could only soil what is already a masterpiece . The visuals are amazing on the Vita's OLED screen and the dungeon's look as though it could be 3D with the glasses. Turn based battle scenes jump out at you with every shining detail splashing against your retina's in a grand display of awsomeness and when you perform a group attack you will almost soil yourself in excitement . You will get lost in over 100+ hours of gameplay like none other and could still play through again using different choices and persona's . Persona's are formed with social links you create from interacting with other characters in the game and the more your friendships build so does your combat ability and rank.
 With a metacratic score of 95/100 Persona 4 Golden stands as the most highly rated game in 2012 and with similiar score's in the past with the older version Persona 4 Golden trully is one of the finest games ever made and if thats not a system seller I dont know what is . You dont have to be a fan of JRPG's to enjoy this game because its different than any other RPG you have ever seen or played . With tons of new content like characters , music, video's , voice acting and HD graphics ....... anybody who does not get this game for their Vita does not deserve to even own one.

  10/10 Masterpiece
