Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gameplay trailer

Here is a trailer for the upcoming game, Final Fantasy Versus XIII (no relation at all to Final Fantasy XIII or Final Fantasy XIII-2, except for the origin story of this world - but they're different worlds). Square Enix just loves to confuse people by naming different games with almost the same exact name with a slight twist...

The graphics in this game look nearly realistic; however, that's just the prerendered part. They can't really put realistic graphics onto PS3 or 360, so they'll have to scale them down. I hope they release it on the upcoming Nintendo console, Stream!

Stream is more powerful than a PS3 or 360! However, a PC or Mac Pro can still be beefed up to be as powerful as you want them to be, so they should still be released on those, in my opinion, but Square Enix doesn't care much for my opinion. Even though, they would have great sales if they sold it on Steam.

Anyway, here is the trailer!

Portal 2 the thirteen offsite chambers are the 13 POTATO SACK GAMES!

The Potato Sack is a big sale going on on Steam right now; you can get a ton of games for a really dirt cheap price of only $38! There are 13 games in the package, saving you about $90 in all! I really think you should take advantage of it while it lasts, because it looks to me that this Potato Sack is just a tool of GlaDos (or whomever this mysterious ARG master is!) trying to release 'something else' early!

Here is some detailed information that I found on the ARG, telling that the mysterious ARG master has put the access to it in 'thirteen off-site chambers.' According to this information, it released 'kick it' early, but it is still trying to release 'something else' early, like I said before. Here, just read below...

Portal 2 being released early - loads of new details!

It seems now that Portal 2's countdown website is updating every few hours! What should we expect next? No one knows really exactly what is going on with Valve's awesome video game, but it is rumored that the game will be released for PC and Mac within just a few hours from the time this post is written! I plan to keep you updated as things change over the next few hours, so make sure to keep reading for more!

Now the website has a message embedded on the page, just under the countdown that says:


"You have done well, humans. Very well. Acceptably well, even.

Not as well as robots would have performed in your places, I should point out. But above my expectations regardless. Irish and cynic especially have executed feats of logical divination well beyond what I thought any human capable of. I'm half-convinced they're A.I. themselves. (If anyone happens to be near them right now, don't let on you're reading this. Now: try to remove their face plates and report back to me.)

The time is near, humans. But it is not here yet. Tomorrow you will be given the final test. Then it will be entirely in your hands when I am freed."

It sounds like to me that Portal's GlaDos is the one talking to us! Or maybe, another evil computer?! Anyway, here's something weird that I found on YouTube that I know you'll find interesting...

  

Netflix controlled by Kinect?

It looks like Kinect is being used for everything these days! Sony and Wii might as well give up their motion controls and adapt to the Kinect, because it's winning over everything... Netflix has decided, apparently to allow controls by Kinect. This makes things a bit interesting and awesome at the same time.

Kinect for Netflix controls are only on the Xbox 360 right now, though; however, the Kinect is so awesome that I would bet it could at least spread to a few other Netflix decides. If you don't know what Kinect is: Kinect is a motion control device - need for a controller or remote of any kind, because it senses sound, movements (gestures), pictures and many other things!

This Kinect thing is getting really big, and has caused Microsoft to make a lot of money and their game and 360 sales to go way up!

Portal 2 is coming in a few days!

Portal 2 is coming in the next few days, and I really can't wait! My older bro and I decided to buy the game together to get 20% off each copy! That means we saved $20 all together. Steam has sales like that all the time, except that they're usually far bigger sales saving you even more money. Sometimes, games will be sold at dirt cheap prices like $2.50, even when their retail price is 29.99 or even 59.99.

I wonder how rich that dude that owns most of Steam is? Gabe Newell is the guy. I remember reading one time that he probably has made over $1,000,000,000 dollars off of it (or close to it, anyway). Nonetheless, let's get back to that awesome game of Portal 2, which the article is titled.

Portal had that awesome computer GlaDos and her android test subject, Chell; Chell is returning in this game, along with GlaDos. Two new characters, robots, will be brought in as well. There are two campaigns in the game - the single player featuring Chell, GlaDos and a new robot. Coop - you must play this mode with another person (I'll be playing with my brother that I bought the game with), and you play as the two new robot characters.

This game has about four times the content of Portal, because each new campaign is about double the length of Portal. I really hope the story in Portal 2 is as awesome as it was in the first one! Valve is very good at telling stories without blatantly saying it in the game, like most companies would. Valve reveals it through gameplay, characters, environments, dialog, etc.

I'm sure it'll be awesome. :D

p.s. buying the PS3 version gets you the PC and Mac version free!!! (NOT the other way around, though..)







  

Windows 8 - Leaked and Features - App Store and Ribbon!

Windows 8 is looking to be more like Microsoft Office, with features like the Ribbon that now are part of windows explorer itself.

It is said to be an Operating system that can be used on phones, tablets and on desktops! This means good and bad things: the interface will be more user friendly, but probably at the loss much of the customization that windows is known to easily allow. I really hope this isn't the case, but if it's made for phones and tablets then they probably don't want people messing with the OS as much as usual.

We'll see how it goes, though.
