Update: 5/7/11

Hi readers,

I'm sorry I haven't been doing many blog posts recently but I have been busy with other things. So here is a quick update/ chat session.

I recently downloaded a demo for Sonic Generations. In the demo there is only 1 stage, Green Hill. If any of you have played earlier Sonic games you would remember what Green Hill should look like. The game looks exactly like the original games but, from playing the one stage, it looks like they have changed the stages a little. I have heard there is going to be a mix of old and new in this game because it does mark the 20th Anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog. There was also a slight bit of 3D as well. As in some parts of the game have been given a touch of a 3D environment. But don't fear, the majority of the level was still 2D.

More information about FIFA12 has been coming out since E3. Make sure you check your favourite gaming website for all the info on the latest games and gaming news.

That's all for now guys. Happy Gaming.

Darkness II to be at Supanova Sydney.

I believe the Darkness 2 will be at Supanova, Sydney. After looking through the event guide, which included seeing English voice of Yugioh, I saw that next to GAME's info it says "Supa-Exclusive code of Darkness II being shown." We can only assume that there will some kind of playable demo. I'm not sure how much of a preview I'll be able to do because there is so much cool stuff to do there. I'll make sure I try and have a look at the game, I might be able to get some video footage or something but nothing is confirmed.

That's all for now, Happy Gaming. You can find me on Myign (ign.com): Blaze_Fury. Or you can search blaze_fury in google and it should be the 2nd one.

Update: Darkness 2 was at Supanova but you had to be 15, unfortunately I'm 15 in a few months :(. The demo they were showing outside the viewing booth looked really nice though. Supanova was a blast! E-mail me or find me on twitter and tell me if you were there. 

Steam gets F2P games!

The online store run by Valve corporation, Steam, now has some Free to play games. The 3 games launched on release are 'Global Agenda: Free Agent', 'Champions Online: Free for All' and 'Spiral Knights'. All these games have been classified as MMOs and RPGs.

According to Steam 'Spiral Knights' is the most popular so far and 'Global Agenda: Free Agent' is the least popular. I would have to say, by looking at the system requirements, it is because you need a really strong computer/ laptop to run Global Agenda. I have also read, from ign.com, there is another Free to Play game that was released in America called Alliance of Valiant Arms. Unfortunately it isn't available in Australia at this time so I have no information about it. Head over to Steam to check out the game. Sorry I can't do a full review/ preview on the games, I'm a bit busy with other things at the moment. You can however, expect a review of 'Spiral Knights' when I've played it for a bit.

* Update: I read an article on Steam saying there will be 5 games released starting with today (Wednesday) and going until Sunday. So that means regions that don't currently have certain Free to play games will get them within the week. The 5th game will be 'Forsaken Worlds'

That's all, Happy Gaming.

Update: 13/6/11

E3 was last week so I'm sure a lot of you are really excited about some of the new games coming out. I haven't bought video games in a while because I'm trying to finish Final Fantasy 13 and Assassins Creed 1 (plus I have no money). You can expect some articles in the next few weeks about any games I get to play next week at Supanova in Sydney and some articles about issues in gaming.

I also plan to post some kind of diction with gaming terms for the less experienced readers. If you haven't noticed you can follow me on Twitter now. The link is on the home page.

Make sure you check your favourite gaming sites and Youtube for all the low-down from E3. I'm really excited for the PSVita, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Mass Effect 3 (haven't played any of the others yet though) and both Halo games coming out. Leave a comment or e-mail me (Also on the main page) and tell me what you are most excited for (if you follow me on twitter you can tell me there if you want). I'm also on Myign on ign.com, just search Blaze_Fury and follow me.

That's all for this week, Happy gaming.

Quick Update 24-5-11

Over the next couple of weeks a few articles will be posted. I am currently writing a Terraria review and compiling my list of far shot E3 predictions. You can expect more stuff on MW3 over the next few weeks. And then a rap up of stuff from E3.

On to other news. Modern Warfare 3 has been officially announced and there is now a reveal trailer up on http://www.callofduty.com/mw3. There is no mention of RavenSoft doing anything with the game. So we can assume the multiplayer is to be done by either InfinityWard or Sledgehammer Games. MW3 will be released on 8th November this year. I haven't played any of the MW campaign but it seems that the game will be set in several different countries including America, England, France and Germany. Be sure to check the gaming website you use to get more info on the game as it emerges. The game hasn't been rated and it is unsure what consoles the game will come out on but you can expect X-box 360, PS3, pc and probably Wii are all set in stone.

On other news I have a Youtube channel now. I will be putting up some Terraria videos and maybe some other stuff. The channel is BlazeFury000. Make sure you subscribe.

That's all for today. Happy Gaming.

E3 Predictions coming

My E3 predictions won't be put up today. I had a hard week and didn't have much time to do them. You can obviously expect them before E3.

Games to look out for:
Sanctum was released last week( I think) on Steam. It is a First Person tower defence game. It sounds impossible but it actually works. You can get that for $15USD. You can also now get Terraria on Steam, and other places I suppose, for about $10USD. This game looks really cool. Most are calling it a 2D version of Minecraft but everyone who has played it is saying it isn't. When I get it( Probably this weekend) I'll do a review for you guys.

L.A. Noire is now out in Australia. It came out in the US a few days ago. It is from Rockstar, the creators of GTA and Red Dead. They used real actors for their characters and cut-scenes. The game's graffics look spectacular but from watching a couple of cut-scenes the characters movements look awkward when converted from real life to a video game. Check it out and make your own opinion.

Update for PlayStation and SOE players: PlayStation and SOE have started their welcome back packages. PSN and PSP users get to choose 2 games from a really good list. This list includes the likes of Little Big Planet and Infamous 1. There are a few more titles in that list too. Head over to the PSN blog to see all the details. I recommend you get Infamous 1 because Infamous 2 will be out soon.

That's all for this week. Happy Gaming.

Quick Update

Sorry about the lack of posts lately, I haven't bought any new games and I have been a bit slack. You can expect a post on Friday AEST. In this post I will give my E3 predictions. I'm not going to just predict what other people are predicting though, you can visit their sites for more certain predictions. I'll be predicting less expecting things, and some probably obvious ones. Now for some quick updates:

-PSN and SOE are still down. A spokesperson from Sony said they hope to fully restore the service by 31st May. Whether this happens or not remains to be seen. Sony have said that there will be a welcome back program which will included 30 days PlayStation Plus (Whatever that is) and it is rumoured that you will get 2 free PlayStation or PSP games. It is unclear whether these will be from a selected group of titles. There is also much debate about how Sony will release games that should have been released during the offline period. Will Sony release them all at once to keep up coming releases stable or push everything back?

-Brink was released last week and it has been getting mixed reactions. Some think it is a really good team shooter and some think it is very repetitive with poor graphics and colour. I'll be getting it eventually, maybe I'll see you guys on there(Xbox Live that is).

-Mortal Kombat 1, 2 and 3 will  be released in a bundle for XBLA and PSN(eventually) soon. The pack will sell for about $10.00.

- IGN have bought UGO and 1Up. Head over to ign.com to get the full details.

- Ubisoft have announced a 4th Assassins Creed game. It will be set in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) and will feature Altaïr, Ezio and Desmond as playable characters. Expect more to be announced in the coming weeks in the build up for E3.


- Mass Effect 3 and Ghost Recon: Future Soldier have been postponed until early 2012. Expect trailers or gameplay videos at E3 though. 


- Dragon Quest X has been announced for Nintendo Wii. No word saying it will be released on DS or 3DS though. Dragon Quest IX was and most of the remakes are being released on DS so I'm surprised X isn't(Yet).


That's all for this week. Happy Gaming. 
Don't forget E3 June 7-9.

My first blog

Hi readers.

This blog will be about Video Games. I will give my opinion about certain games and events. I will review some games that I have (They might not necessarily be games that are coming out because I don't have access to them but they will be from current platforms, or old ones if you guys want.) I'll be giving you guys some of the latest news and other stuff about video games. You can e-mail me at blazy_fury@hotmail.com.au if you want to ask me any questions or request I do a review on a certain game.

That's all for now guys. Happy gaming!
