Updates and Buys Vol. 2

Well I have bought several games since my last Vol of this blog. I recently purchased 3 games and while 2 are ones I had had previously I bought one I had never played before. Ill go more into that later though. I have to start with my Updates! 

Recently the news has been nothing but abuzz with news over MS and the next xbox. I promise not to stay on this subject but I atleast wanted to share that Orth is no longer with MS, clearly he was either fired over the whole thing or he left on his own accord. I dont know which but the firing is more what Im leaning to. My last piece of MS info is there is now talk of no backwards comptability for the next gen xbox either. Supposely if ya wanna play old 360 games, you will need to keep ur system for them. The PS4 is already stated it grounds on the subject and while it does def suck that they are gonna do a cloud based service for it Ill be keeping my PS3 to play my old games on it. Ill keep the PS4 to PS4 games.

Speaking of the PS4, Its been completely silent. I dont know if thats because of the whole xbox fiasco or there going full fledge quiet until E3, none the less, Sony is doing a really good job doing it.

I dont know who all reads Gameinformer but the new May issue is up for the digital subscribers and they have some interesting games announced it. They have the new Batman: Arkham Origins announced which is to be a prequel and Telltale is working on there next title The Wolf Among Us.  Which for me, the Telltales game is sounding severally interesting. I love new takes or themes on fairytales and this one will prolly be pretty good. Its suppose to take from a comic series called Fables and I for one might find a way to get it and start reading. Once I read more on it Ill write a blog covering it. Anywho i think updates are covered good, now to the buys!

I previously owned Bayonetta a few years back now. I loved it but I caught another game coming out in my eye that I wanted and traded it for said game. I dont do trades now unless its a horrendous game so this will be staying in my collection. I have to start over on it but Im excited, I like the gameplay and the characters are freaking great. I especially love Bayonetta. Im quite excited for 2 but Im glad its a time away from being released for the Wii U because I dont know just yet when Ill have the system again.

Bulletstorm I didnt hear a whole lot about when it first released. So I was shocked when I played it for the first time and said, "this is a game id keep a tracker device on, why didnt I know about it?" Maybe I overlooked it or its advertisment was piss poor. I dont know but I like it, its one of those you can sit down and have a lil bit of fun with because while it can be serious it does have some funny moments to it. Especially with the combat system. I might not play it right off but Ill work my way to it.

When I saw this game I didnt really know anything about it and i hadnt played any of the previous games. I however saw the dog *shadow* on the cover and looked at the manual. When I read that shadow was ur partner and that there were points you could control him and play I was down immediatly. I have the tendancy to love games that involve and animal companion. I loved Haunting Grounds which was a horror game that rendered the main character defenseless except for Hewie, a white shepard who could attack them. Id def play haunting grounds if I could. Im prolly gonna be lost as hell on this one when i first play it but Ill find my way through it.

Now that this blog is complete Im gonna work on getting my Silent Hill Downpour review up. I beat it earlier today, we had some ugly weather roll into town so I stayed in doors and gamed. Im quite excited to write this review, lets just hope my excitement doesnt make me go all over the place!

i rather enjoyed bulletstorm.  It was bloody, gruesome, mindless fun.  I may have to replay that one.

Have not played bayonetta, any of the dead to rights, or any silent hill sequel.

If you liked the Devil May Cry series you will prolly like Bayonetta. Its similar to it and the guy who directed on it also worked on DMC. Ive tryed to stay up on the Silent Hill games even if they werent up to par with SH 2 and 3. Bulletstorm Im def excited to play again.

I don't like this no backwards compatibilty... wait, I don't own the consoles that come before the new ones, why do I care? Well, if I did own a PS3 and/or 360, I'd be annoyed.

Anyway, Bulletstorm and Bayonetta sound like my type of games.

It doesnt bother me one bit, Im gonna keep my PS3 even when I get the PS4. Im not gonna trade it toward 4 since I wanna keep it for PS3 titles.

You would prolly like them Joe, if you ever get a PS3 I say pick them up, they can be found for cheap prices now a days.

Nice you hit up the 50% off GameStop Sale.

Bayonetta is one of those games I played a little bit here and there but never really gave any real time to playing. Since I lost my save I might as well give it a go with my full attention.

Dead to Rights is a fun series, but I only played the two on the PS2. If the PS3 version is anything like the first two I think you'll enjoy it.

Heck ya, Bulletstorm was the only one on sale but it was nice. I got it for like $4.00 and with Bayonetta it came out to like $19.46. I actually bought DTR a few weeks prior I just hadnt wrote up another Vol of this blog yet so I figured I would do it now. I feel I made good choices though. I read a few good things about DTR before I bought it so I have some good hopes for it.

I also put 5 down on Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen. I liked the original and while I have wanted to re buy it I decided to wait for this one since its the original game with more content. I really hope after this they work on a sequel.

Haven't really bought anything, though Injustice will change that. I haven't played all of these, I really want to try Bayonetta before 2 comes out though.

Im getting paid tomorrow and Im paying it off. I might also pay off my copy of Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen. Bayonetta is super cheap right now, I say if you can go pick it up. The closer 2 gets to being released they will prolly jack the price up.
