Not much has been said about the sequel to the Wii exclusive Red Steel. But I can say one thing about it...Sweet!!!. From the looks of the trailer, the game is going to focus on the Wii Motion Plus for its sword play. I highly doubt those are actual in-game graphics, but who knows. The game looks like its taking a modern western kind of vibe. We will probably learn a lot more when E3 comes by tomorrow. Check out this Red Steel 2 Debut Trailer in HD.

Is Alan Wake still Awake?

Many great games are going to be at E3 next week and I'm excited to see the gameplay footage. But something got me thinking about that old game known as Alan Wake. Back when the first trailer was shown my thoughts were "Hey, that looks cool" and then I forgot about it until now. I don't know practically anything about the game but from the looks of it, its gonna be sweet with a capital S. Every time i watch the latest trailer I get chills. My answer for the question: "Is Alan Wake still Awake?" is 99 percent Yes. Due to that being the chance of Alan Wake making a appearance at E3 this year. I really hope I'm not wrong.

Fable 2 "See the Future" DLC review

Fable 2's much anticipated "See the Future" DLC has gotten some mixed reviews and I can see why. The small amount of missions the DLC gives are pretty short and could be completed in a matter of two hours. Previous DLC Knothole Island wasn't that long either but it wasn't as short as See The Future. It has a total of four quests, but I only think of it as two because the other two aren't actual quests. In one, all you do is control your character by walking about eight feet and the other is just an arena which you can visit and play in whenever you want. All the playable content in this DLC are played through cursed objects given to you by, who other than Murgo. Yes Murgo, the crazy salesman who sold you the cursed music box in the beginning of the game. First, is the cursed snowglobe. Inside is a black and white town trying to regain its color back with great use of blue, yellow, and red coloring. The second and not so great quest has you enter a cursed skull. This quest has you finding various costumes and using different expressions to proceed on. This next "quest" is one of the selling points which is Seeing The Future of Albion. I have to say its kind of disappointing. Now I wont spoil anything, but this interactive cutscene is very brief and if you daze off for just the slightest second you ll miss everything. Once the vision is over, you cant go back. The last "quest" is what all hardcore Fable players have been waiting for, which is the coliseum. This ancient battle arena has you fight against increasingly difficult hordes of enemies until time runs out. After time runs out you are given a prize or prizes depending on how well you did. You can revisit or play in this arena as many times as you want. Murgo doesn't just sell what has already been told. He also sells many tattoos, hair styles, clothes and potions. The other major selling point of this DLC are the new dog breeds. I was some what pleased and disappointed at the same time. Pleased because having a new breed of dog is kind of cool. Disappointed because there are only three new breeds available including Bloodhound, Dalmatian, and Husky. Also included is the Mutt potion which is used to turn your dog back to its original form. Bloodhound and Dalmatian are cool looking with Dalmatian being my favorite. But I was most looking forward to the Husky which I was the most disappointed in due to it just looking odd and for some reason they gave it a weird black tongue which I cant look past. Along with everything are some new achievements as well. This is overall a decent DLC with a good amount of new content including quests, dog breeds, costumes, a hardcore battle arena, collectibles, and a glimpse of the future all for 560 Microsoft Points. If your looking for some new playable content for Fable 2, its definitely worth a purchase.
SCORE: 3/5

SNIPED
While watching random game videos on Youtube I came across this montage of crazy sniping shots in Call of Duty 4. Even though this isn't me playing I wish it was.

DOGS RULE!!!!!
While playing large quantities of games, I noticed dogs appearing in many recent titles. For instance, Fable 2 included probably one of the biggest selling points of the game which is your unnamed dog. Another is your scrapyard pooch named Dogmeat (or as I like to call him Deadmeat because he dies so quickly) featured in Fallout 3. Finally would be in Call of Duty: World at War. In CoD 4 there were dogs present in the single player campaign but in CoD 5 the new "Call in The DOGS!!!" option replaced Helicopters in the multiplayer. Let's hope we see some dogs in future games.

Fallout 3 Broken Steel DLC Review
****MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS****
Finally, the 3rd Fallout 3 DLC that everyone has been waiting for has arrived and it's pretty good. First of all, everyone has been saying that this DLC is longer than the previous two DLCs released and I have to disagree. With the level cap now being raised to 30, definitely will have you back in the Capitol Wasteland for a long, long time. But quest wise, the amount of time it took me to finish the new quests that came with Broken Steel took me about the same time it took me to finish the other DLCs like The Pitt. While Operation Anchorage and The Pitt started with you answering to a distress call from an unknown location, you have to start Broken Steel by loading a saved game from sometime near the end. Once completing the game you wake up two weeks later to be greeted by Elder Lyons, but I wont give to much away. The basic point of this DLC is to wipe out the Enclave completely and you'll meet up with some old friends along the way such as Liberty Prime and Fawkes (if you chose for him to come with you). There are a total of three action-packed main quests, a few side quests and some quests in which you can choose to find and bring things back in return for some caps. There are some new weapons like the Heavy Incinerator and Tesla Cannon. Along with some new enemies like the tough Feral Ghoul Reavers. Along with the new level cap come some new perks and by some I mean a lot. But my personal favorite is called Puppies!. If your pooch companion Dogmeat died sometime in your journey then you can travel and find a fresh batch of puppies! waiting for you outside Vault 101. Broken Steel is definitely worth a buy for any Fallout 3 fan and the addition of the increased level cap should keep you coming back for more.
SCORE: 4.5/5
