Homefront....

I just started playing Homefront.... yeah I have heard it sucks but I liked the premise and having never watched a review and only seeing a few posts put it down, will my opinion be different going in with basically no prejudice against the game at all. I can say this much the game is pretty hard, I am certainly no FPS master, but I have beaten Wolfenstein, and Wolfenstein The New Order in the last year so I can make it threw , however Homefronts beginning is certainly harder than most games I have played. The only game that killed me faster was perhaps Killzone 2..... OHH A REVIEW ON THAT GARBAGE IS COMING! I haven't played very far in the game but so far I like the mechanics and the way the game handles and feels. It looks fine for a PS3 game of that time period, its no Last of Us as far as getting the most out of the PS3's power, but it does the job well enough. BUT like I was saying I have just started the game. So what are your opinions? What am I in for? What should I look for as far as Easter Eggs. I WILL NOT look up any walk through or videos. I promise to do this , if you , the few and fun fans I have, will post with your own opinions and tips top Homefront. And do you think the whole mess this game started was deserved?

DOOM..... or dooomed

Raise your hand if you played the new DOOM game yet...... yeeeeah me neither. Mainly because I don't have a PS4, and also because I have lost faith in DOOM. The format is old, stale, and after that total shit fest of a game they CALLED doom a fewyears back , and I have the BFG Edition, so if that's the best then good god for those with the regular edition. The game felt like a PS2 generic shooter, with stupid jump scaresthat don't make you jump, and use of lighting that was supposed to be scary and mood inducing, but serves only to frustrate and make things hard to see in a frustrating not tension building way. No The first DOOM reboot was SHIT in my book, and I have not read or watched a single review on the game, just bought it used thinking, wow doom, my childhood has come full circle. You see DOOM back in 95, 96 was the most amazing thing we had ever seen. And almost every computer able to run it in our grade school had a copy hidden on it. Only those of us who knew how to bring up the dos prompt and knew the proper location could play, so we kept it a well guarded secret. Back then you where allowed to go to the classrooms a hour or two before morning class even started, and since I was one of the first ones there everyday because of my rides timing for work, I would rush to one of the rooms, and get on there before anyone else could and the shareware first level would be started immediately. IDDQD.... followed by IDKFA, and if I was feeling bored IDNOCLIPPING (very fun on Duke Nukem) and the mayhem would start and go for the next hour or two.

That shareware version followed us into High School and was hidden on every computer there too along with Quake, and even Blood on some "cool" teachers computers. Hell I remember having death matches on the Quake shareware game using Mplayer before it became Gamespy with our Youth Services Center Manager, and several other students all in one game over a 56k (modem if you where lucky). But no matter what if you were bored that first chapter of DOOM was like an old mattress, worn just for you, like a glove it fit and demons, beware, because the BFG was coming for you!.

Doom 3 BFG Edition, was not my doom...... it just didn't feel like doom, it felt more like a Half Life crossed with Dead Space..... both good by themselves but together.....not so much. So what of this new game? I would love to hear your feedback. Is it good? Is it a system seller like they are hoping it was and like the Last of Us was for PS3 too me. IS IT DOOM AGAIN..... or just a generic shooter , with service once you get past " THIS IS THE NEW DOOM IT MUST BE AWESOME BECAUSE ITS DOOOOOM! phase of your relationship with the game? To me the way they did the last two Wolfensteins ESPECIALLY NEW ORDER is how you reboot a series while staying true to the source and not just being a blatant cash in. Is the new doom as good as New Order???? Give me your feedback and your memories of playing the old DOOM games either at home , a friends, at school, or even on your console at home , with your mother wondering why you have a red cartridge sticking out of your SNES. Thanks for reading and please keep reading and share me with all your friends who would be interested, I plan on promoting a few good Emulation sites soon because i am a fan f the whole concept. Until next time this is your no shit writer....Michael.... I'm outta here!

GOT OUT BEFORE THE BUBBLE BURSTS AND YOU SHOULD TOO!

Ok this may sound bad... But I took a few of my most rare things to the great Page 3 Game Zone..... the only place I know that gives a good price for trade ins. So good.... For what would fit in a box maybe two foot by two foot, I got about 900 dollars worth of trade in. NOT TO MENTION trading A sealed Ultima SNES game for a PS3 strait up... Page 3 is the ULTIMATE place for gamers and geeks (used lovingly) of any kind. Weather your a D&D player, a MTG player, hell they have a room set up with games for you to TRY AND SEE IF YOU LIKE! The workers are all nice, and not that I AM SO COOL AND NO MORE THAN YOU ABOUT EVERYTHING attitude that you get at places like Monkey Punch... No Page 3 is the real deal . I am going to do a much longer piece on them both on here and on my main blog www.theconcreteyear.blogspot.com.... I am going to expose the difference in how to run a good honest business that has been there since the mid 90's (Page 3) and a rip off joint that only makes it because of the way they under pay, over charge, and basically rip people off at places like Monkey Punch.

Translated Snes Games a Few Peaks

Title of TRANSLATED FILE :

(J) [T+Eng.5b_SStrans] A very surprising title. It's a strategy RPG with very bright, if not anime, very Japanese inspired graphics. The game is very easy to pick up on and the characters make it fun even if those boring opening missions which we all know we had to grind threw in the old days when they thought people where too stupid for RPG's. Just imagine if it was a full English conversion, there would have been an extra half hour explain to us the difference between fight and defend. At least with a translation it does move along at a good pace, and the story picks up quickly. The only real fault I saw that got on my nerves was the overly large cartoonish looking script used top introduce chapters or menus. You start off with a few standard characters but much like Fire Emblem each unit is its own individual, Rim, the Knight with good stats and OK damage dealing ability. Average in everything else. Momo, the Minotaur, the heavy hitter with higher than average hit points but still able to be taken down when ganged up on. Ernie..... a rather comical looking "Golem" that just looks kinda like a pillar with stubby legs. It only deals, and takes 1 damage the majority of the time but from time to time he will unleash a powerful attack killing his enemy in one hit. Dan the Rabbit is the archer, missile combat unit of the group. Watch his HP's but good at a decent range. Tam is the female obligatory White Mage. She is really really useful and must be kept alive at all cost I would certainly recommend this to anyone with an EverDrive or who emulates since these games haven't been released in English as far as I know, its the only way to play them. Emuparadise, I think Coolroms still pack TGFX 16 ROMS. Both sites are great and have good quality files .
