So here comes the first game to be cross platform playable. But from what I'm seeing on all the media sites, the game is lackluster at best. I'll probably pick up the Vista version, if it follows suit with a lot of titles and comes with the lower price point.

Join GameFly and save some cash. Honestly I am buying new games from GF all the time, for about $25 less then they cost in stores. It's a great deal over all. But just a fair warning if you live on the East Coast, like I do, then expect about 4 days for the games to travel through the mail. Since they added Fast Return I've noticed I'm able to get a lot more gaming done, but still nothing like if I lived in CA...

Oh and its my Birthday, so don't expect a lot for updates today. ;-)

The June issue of Game Informer magazine is where one can read about Square-Enix’s new IP (not a milking of an existing Final Fantasy property) The Last Remnant. The latest Square-Enix RPG will be a single player RPG directed by Hiroshi Takai, better known for his role as game planner in The Bouncer. The Last Remnant will feature two characters who will appeal to each of the game’s audience; Rush (traditional Square-Enix hero) who will appeal to the Japanese gaming audience, and The Conqueror (dark/anti-hero) will appeal to the Western gaming audience. The best part of this new IP? It’ll make use of the Unreal Engine 3 which Square-Enix licensed a while back.

Now this is something I'm getting excited over. I just wish I had a copy of the June Game Informer magazine so I could see the images that go with it. I've been both a Square and Enix fan growing up, but I mist admit that most Enix games didn't hold my interest for long. Now with Unreal3 graphic engine and more of a action oriented battle/gameplay system I'm looking forward to this. After all the other other choice is going to be one of the thousand flavors of FF13 that are going to be out for the next 10 years.

I've done this a few times, but never with so many PCs. Lots of fun! Slow news day, but something good should be coming down the pipe soon.

Now if this game came out with a $30 price tag, I'd buy it again. But at $50 I think I'll hold off. I think the video trailer makes it look more appealing to me, even more so then Halo 3. Seeing as how I've already beat the game with the non-ending, I think I'll be passing on this.

Not much to report today, besides that SpiderMan 3 was a disappointment. So instead I'll share this video with you.

The map the boy designed mimicked Clements High School. And, sources said, it was uploaded either to the boy’s home computer or to a computer server where he and his friends could access and play on it. Two parents apparently learned from their children about the existence of the game, and complained to FBISD administrators, who investigated.

“They arrested him,” Chen said of FBISD police, “and also went to the house to search.” The Lin family consented to the search, and a hammer was found in the boy’s room, which he used to fix his bed, because it wasn’t in good shape, Chen said. He indicated police seized the hammer as a potential weapon.

“They decided he was a terroristic threat,” said one source close to the district’s investigation.

Now for years, I thought about making a map of my school/work, not because I wanted to simulate a mass shooting, but because I knew the architecture of building. If I wanted to make a mod I would use something I know before I moved on to something I didn't. Instead I made a map of my apartment. Not very exciting, nut still, you get my point.

And a hammer as a potential weapon? Give me a fucking break!
