Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2... SUCKS?!

According to most people who play the game, it's a terrible end to the series (not the movie! It's great, according to almost anyone! :D).

The score on Metacritic so far is 55/100, which is freaking terrible. It's probably ALMOST as bad as Duke Nukem Forever... but unfortunately, it's made after an amazing movie, which was made from an amazing book. I don't know why people don't understand that different forms of media like books, movies and games all need to be made SEPARATELY NOT TOGETHER!

Book -> Movie (Harry Potter) --- WONDERFUL!

Book-> Game (Metro 2033) --- WONDERFUL!

Book-> Movie -> Game (ANYTHING!) --- TERRIBLE!

Book-> Game -> Movie (ANYTHING!) --- TERRIBLE!

In other news about things that need to stay separate (jk) I've heard rumors that the new Batman movie will be previewed during HP7p2 :D

Portal 2, Final Boss, Ending, Credits, Song

Portal 2 was an awesome game to play, just like Portal; the new game has awesome scenes of destruction and a cool final boss. Here is a video showing that final boss, the ending, the new song by GlaDos (Ellen McLain), and the credits - and the epilogue.

Portal 2, Screenshots from in Game - 2

Here are some more screenshots from Portal 2's single player campaign; there is a coop campaign as well, and I'll be sure to take a few screenshots when I play it later with my brother. For now, here are some screenshots of  some of the later levels of Portal 2, which are some of the most amazing parts.

Gears of War 3 Beta, starts today

Gears of War 3's Beta was announced a while back; people were able to buy Bulletstorm Epic Edition to get a key or win a key from multiple other sources. Now, the beta is finally going to be starting on the same day that Portal 2 is released. I wonder which one people will choose to play?

Gears of War 3's beta can be accessed by everyone who pre-ordered the game, but not just yet; they won't be able to access it until next Monday, on April 25th.Gears of War 3 has three different game modes and four different maps. All of the game modes are multiplayer, since the entire beta is just a multiplayer beta.

Team Deathmatch: Just a normal deathmatch game, killing each other; you'll be on a team and fight the other team, killing them to get the most kills. The team with the most kills wins.

King of the Hill: Teams have to defend a specific area on the map until a time limit is expired.

Capture the Leader: Capture the enemy's team leader and hold them for a certain amount of time; the team leader can be freed by killing the one that captured the leader.

The four maps are called Thrashball, Trenches, Oldtown and Checkout. I've made two other blog posts on these maps. 

OLDTOWN and CHECKOUT

THRASHBALL and TRENCHES

Gears of War 3 will be released September, 2011 (North America).

Portal 2, Single Player Campaign Review 5.0/5.0

Overview: Portal 2 is one of the most amazing and memorable games I have ever played in my life. Portal just seems like one small puzzle compared to this amazing and humongous game, Portal 2. There is deception in the air; lies are being passed around. Who should you really trust? Who is really evil?

Characters: The new single-player campaign introduced us to many new characters, including Wheatley, Cave Johnson and a few other small ones. GlaDos makes a return during the campaign as your main opposition; however, there's something going on that Chell, the player character from Portal and Portal 2, doesn't realize. The characters are all hilarious and will make you laugh the whole way through, while always feeling like there is still a serious story.

Graphics: The new graphical effects in Portal 2 really make Aperture's labs come alive; the way the destruction of things looks is just phenomenal and the way it's all rebuilt almost instantly in some instances is very cool. The game has tons of destruction taking place, because of what is happening in the story.

Finalé: The only thing that I wanted after playing this game was to know what happens next! Valve did really well at making sure to wrap up any loose ends, but I want to know how they could possibly continue after this point, unless they change the characters involved.

Final Thoughts: I guess I might see what happens when I play the Coop campaign, next. The Coop campaign takes place AFTER the single player campaign; you will notice this if you beat the single player campaign.
