LittleBig Fun!!!

Hello All!


I bought LBP2 two nights ago, and I've had to limit myself to only playing it about 2 hours. It's soooooooo freakin' fun! Today my game pro boyfriend came over, so we could test out some of the versus action. I'm now a Block Drop champion! He's a little jealous even if he won't admit it. :3 We've also been Hedge Hopping, which is not nearly as easy as it sounds, but it is just as fun as it sounds. I've redecorated my Earth and I must say it is the best Earth ever! I'm playing through the tutorials on My Moon so that I can test the games ease of use. So far, so good. As soon as I finish my first level I'll publish it, so that all of you who have purchased the game can play it and rate it :3


I'm sure you didn't come here to hear me ramble, you wanted my first impressions. Ok here goes! The game is rated E and so of course it's easy to navigate. When you start playing there's a cool English sounding guy who tells you everything you need to know. He says really funny things among the useful information, and believe me it's all useful, unless you're an LBP1 veteran, which I'm not :( The game starts you off with plenty of clothes and fabrics to start customizing your Sack kid. In case anyone wants to know, my Sack kid is the colorful carpet fabric. He's wearing shutter shades, a winter hat, and nothing else. Yeah he's pretty much NSFW lol. I haven't found any clothes that I like yet, or he wouldn't be naked. 


While playing through the tutorial, you unlock tools to make your levels, so it's important to actually play them. Playing the tutorial levels also gives you free items, and who doesn't love free swag? You can play the tutorial levels as much as you need to. There are some concepts that take more than one go to grasp, for me at least, and practice makes perfect...or as close to perfect as possible. I've already completed the first creator's world (and racked up many trophies) and I'm on to the next one! That's all for now, and I'll be back when I'm about halfway through the game to update y'all! Until next time, happy pwning! :3

Trailer Park

Hi all!


Before we get into the trailer-y goodness we gotta talk Game of the Year! I was shocked to say that I was 100% pleased with IGN's choice for Game of the Year because this was the first. Time. Ever. Mass Effect 2 (BioWare, Electronic Arts) not only raised the bar for the series, but it was engaging the moment you picked up the controller. I literally played the game to completion twice in one week (yeah, I even did the side missions.) and I started a third trip through because it was just that fun. IGN put together a nifty little video, which quite literally depicted Mass Effect 2 decimating the competition. Here's a look: http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/01/15/ign-overall-game-of-the-year-2010-winner

Now that you've feasted your eyes on that little gem of game humor, brace yourself for impact! They've finally released a trailer for Mass Effect 3 (BioWare, Electronic Arts) and believe me, this trailer goes hard! Check it out here:

Is your mind blown? Mine was! I am soooo incredibly excited for ME3 that I can barely focus on other games. Buuuuuuuut I haven't forgotten about Killzone 3 (hits a Gamestop near you in 28 days) and I even have the trailer for ya! I don't think y'all are ready for this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr4UvF3H7Bg&feature=channel

You all have probably already seen this one, but I feel bad about mentioning 3s and not giving a nod to Uncharted 3, so without further adieu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHHcM6aHPnE

I know, I know! 2011 is gonna be just as awesome as I promised. Feel free to go clean up the brain bits before you finish this post...I'll wait. Better? Good! I called this post trailer park for a reason, and I've got one more up my sleeve that I think you all will go crazy for! Gears of War 3 is gonna kick ass and take names. Here ya go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQJ0iri8kEk 


I'm exhausted after cramming so much epic into one post! I hope y'all enjoyed it. I certainly did. Going to Gamestop tomorrow to do some more pre-ordering and payment making :3 Video games make giving away your money fun for the whole family! As always, happy pwning!

LittleBig Slacker

Hello all! 


You all know that I'm a gamer and that I love games, but did you also know that I'm a procrastinator and part-time slacker? You probably didn't, but now you know. I hope that you will forgive me for not being all ready with my initial reaction to LittleBig Planet 2. Unfortunately, blogging is not my day-job (I so wish it was) and I haven't been able to make it to my friendly neighborhood Gamestop to purchase a copy. I'm awful I know! 


What I have accomplished this week are two playthroughs of Mass Effect 2 in between shifts. I literally couldn't stop playing. Hopefully, LBP 2, KZ3, and GOW3 will effectively pull me away from the video game love of my life...at least until Mass Effect 3 comes out :3 I also thought everyone should know that it's only 285 days until Uncharted 3 is released! I'm sure you're all counting down too...oh you're not...well I'll attempt to share countdown updates with you slackers as we get closer to the day! 


On the other hand, Killzone 3 will be out in only 33 days, and I promise I won't let its release catch me cruising the Milky Way in the Normandy. You all have plenty of time to get your pre-orders done and once again I'll keep you posted as we get closer to the release date. I'll be working on my Reach skills tomorrow, if anyone wants to join me in Team Swat, add DJBorubureka! This week, my goal is to do a review of Mass Effect 2 for PS3. Since I've only played it on 360, it will be a new experience for me as well. Until next time, happy pwning! :3

2011 is Gonna Be Hot

Hello readers!


Seven here, your friendly neighborhood gamer girl :3 I'm just here to touch base as we start off 2011 and it looks to be a happy year for games! I'm really stoked about reviewing several awesome games for everyone out there, and I'm excited to see additions to several series that I love! 

The Chinese Zodiac says that 2011 is the year of the Rabbit, which is to be a quiet year after a 'ferocious' year of the Tiger, but for me 2011 is the Year of the Trilogy. With the arrival of Gears of War 3 (360), Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (PS3) the much anticipated follow-up to 2009's G.O.T.Y: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and hopefully Mass Effect 3 (360), the third offering in my favorite game series of all time, 2011 looks to be just as exciting as 2010.

Of course my personal faves aren't the only games to watch for 2011. Killzone 3 will be breaking onto the scene early this year on February 22, and I'm stoked to see what's happening on Helghan. It will also be interesting to see how the gameplay changes with the advent of the Playstation Move system. This year will also see a revival of the Mortal Kombat series, which is a must-play for any old school gamer. 

For PC gamers Portal 2 will be ready to bend your mind again! It will be out for PS3 as well, so even if you're not into PC gaming you can still enjoy this treasure trove of puzzles. Little Big Planet 2 will be revamping the lovable Sackboy for an all-new adventure, and I can't to see what the little guy gets up to this year. 

I'm not sure if there will be as much mania for this year's offerings as there was for fanboy favorites like Halo: Reach and Call of Duty: Black Ops, but 2011 will still be a great year for gaming!

To pre or not to pre? That is the Question.

Hello again! 

I just got back from pre-ordering my copy of Gear of War 3! I'm thrilled! While I was there I thought I'd discuss some of the pros of pre-ordering. I only say pros because what could be wrong about ensuring that you're not the noob without the latest game? 

First of all, pre-ordering guarantees that you'll get a copy on the release day. if there's a midnight release, you'll be home and playing by 1 (this is a front of the line statistic) Also it gives you access to a ridiculous amount of bonus content that is often not available any other way. 

This year's super mega ultra release is Killzone 3! If you pre-order from Gamestop, you'll get an exclusive PSN code unlocking all of the multiplayer weapons and abilities for the first 24 hours of gameplay. You'll also receive the Killzone 3 Retro Map Pack which features 2 of the most popular maps from KZ 2. However, if you're a Killzone superfan then the Killzone 3: Helghast Edition is right up your alley.It'll set you back $129.99, buuuuuut you'll get all of the aforementioned goodies, plus double the XP for the first 24 hours, the KZ 3 soundtrack and a sweet dynamic theme for your PS3. It will also have not one but 2 exclusive collector's items, one of which will not be sold at retail....EVER! Here's a picture of the epicness:

You're all excited now right? Ok well, even if you're not swayed by all the swag, pre-ordering is still awesome! You can put money down whenever you'd like as you lead up to the release date. You might not have sixty dollars to blow the day the game comes out, but you can pay in increments of as little as 5 dollars. Cool, right? I hope I've converted at least one procrastinator out there :3 Until next time, happy pwning!
