Life Is Just A Dream™

Seth Killian also offered up an explanation of the Air Combo Button — previously known as the Exchange Button — on MTV Multiplayer's blog. He states:

The Tournament Begins with there 7 Matches to play who know's who is gonna be The Winner. So first is the Qualifying Rounds.... and we split into 4 groups of 2's;





And first up in Qualifier 1 is Mayhem64 (Sagat) VS Stellar Zero (E.Honda)

Round 1; and it seem Stellar Zero thinks he can keep spamming the same move, and he keeps Mayhem in the corner for most of the first round and after a few hits Stellar Zero finally puts Mayhem64 down in round 1.

Round 2: but Mayhem64 starts to realize whats going on and puts sagat's tiger knee into to play, with a few Tiger's/Uppercuts. And @ 1:29 Mayhem64 gets Stellar Zero with a Super combo.... and with Stellar Zero trying his spamming tactic's Mayhem64 opens him up with a tiget upper cut to finish the round.

Round 3: In this round both players are aware of each others tactic's, but still Stellar Zero thinks he can still do his spamming move. Which hits maybe once but he catch's Mayhem64 with Honda's Ultra Combo and boy we wouldn't want to be face palmed by E.Honda, but again Stellar Zero reverts to his spamming which Mayhem64 full knows how to deal with and Finish's the fight with another Tiger uppercut.



In Qualifier 2 we have; Johnyrainbow1 (Guile) VS Hardstyle1989 (Balrog)

Round 1: And Johnyrainbow1 starts with some sonic booms, which don't seem to much trouble for Hardstyle1989. But its not lone before Jonhyrainbow1 catches him with a few as Hardstyle1989 tries to break through his defense, and when we thought Hardstlye1989 had Johnyrainbow1 with a Ultra Combo.... Johnyrainbow1 does something we don't see coming he uppercuts him with great time to finish this round off!

Round 2: and Hardstlye1989 goes right through one of Johnyrainbows1 Sonic booms with a hard darting punch, Hardstyle1989 does it agian but miss's as Mr ranobow1 jumps over his attack this round is quite a defense/offense fighting style. but after a few sonic booms, johnyrainbow1 catch's Hardstyle1989 with a Scissor kick to finish the Match off!


In Qualifier 3 we have; Traxxminoo 51(Ryu) VS Giof 007 (Ryu)

Round 1: It's Ryu VS Ryu and we know whats gonna happen usually when people pick Ken or Ryu! and its Ha-do-kens an Hurricane kicks all round, but then things get interesting as Traxxminoo 51 Dizzy's Giof 007 with his jabs and quick combos. Giof 007 does fight back but it ain't good enough as Traxxinoo 51 show's!

Round 2: Traxxminoo 51 plays with Giof 007 by canceling his move's or following through with combo's to keep him guessing, but @ 1:25 Giof 007 gets him with a Ultra combo. But it proves not enough as he Miss's completely with his Super combo... but Goif 007 aint going down without a fight and gives all he has got, just a shame he kept doing hurricane kicks as maybe Traxxminoo 51 wouldn't of caught him with his Ultra Combo and can we say what a Finish it is one of the Highlights of the Tournament its a must see!



So next is; Sci0n/Us (Juri) VS l6 Shingouki 9l (Juri)

Round 1: and we ask our self's why do we keep picking Juri? as she isn't our strongest character as we still need to practice with her, but i think we would rather try with her than just pick a safe bet like most players do plus were all ways up for a challenge, but that doesn't stop l6 Shingouki 9l catching us with a Shikusen and then l6 Shingouki 9l pulls off Juri's Senpusha which we try to counter with a focus attack, but l6 Shingouki 9l is quick with Juri's move's. We do catch him with a Senpusha and follow it up with it's kicks, and dont ask us why we pulled of the ultra when we did.... but we do feel as though we put up a good fight as we was finished of by a crouching medium kick.

Round 2: Is fast and frantic with us and l6 Shingouki 9l pulling off alot of Senpusha/Shikusen's, an we then get l6 Shingouki 9l in a throw putting his face into the floor, an then it's back to catch each other with Shikusens..... and we unleash our Ultra which give's l6 Shingouki 9l an opening and he take's by showing us how it should be done, then we get finished by a quick punch!


Now were on the Semi Final's; Mayhem64 (Sagat) VS Johnyrainbow1 (Guile)

Round 1: johnyrainbow1 proves to be quite the pro player with Guile, Mayhem64 still gets few good hits in. this round seems to be a close call until johnyrainbow1 starts doing his cancels and focus attacks.... after a missed flash kick and a blocked tiger uppercut, johnyrainbow1 finish's Mayhem64 with a Back breaker throw!

Round 2: Sonic boom's, Uppercuts, Tigers, Flash kicks are all pulled off as both players seem t be on the offensive. with Mayhem64 keeping Johnyrainbow1 at bay but even when he does get close Mayhem64 get's him with a few cheeky combo's and a tiger knee. But @ 2:14 johnyrainbow 1 lets his Focus attack do the talking and show's Mayhem64 how it should be done with following up with his ultra combo. aint over yet as Mayhem is backed into a corner knowing he cant jump over Johnyrainbow1 which give's him the opportunity to finish him with a sonic BOOM!


So up next in our other Semi Final; Traxxminoo 51 (Ryu) VS l6 Shingouki 9l (Juri)

Round 1: l6 Shingouki 9l is straight to it with Juri's Fuhajin, Shikusen, Senpusha... Getting right in Traxxminoo 51's face, but Traxxinoo 51 ain't no push over as he hits back with some good combos. which in turn brings down l6 Shingouki 9l health showing him brute force doesn't all-ways win, as a mistimed Ultra can mean everything in SSFIV And l6 Shingouki 9l know's this when he leaves him self open for Traxxminno 51 to pull off a Dragon Punch which ends the round!

Round 2: Traxxminoo 51 gets the first hit with a Ha-do-ken, l6 Shingouki 9l tries to hit him with a few Shikusen's but only connects with one. But does catch Traxxminoo 51 with a Focused Senpusha as both keep trying to connect to follow up with combo's l6 Shingouki 9l connects with 3 Senpusha's but Traxxminoo 51 hits back with a dragon punch cancels it to follow up with a nice focused one.... then tries to do a Focused hurricane kick on l6 Shingouki 9l, who unleashes his Ultra Finishing the round off!

Round 3: Traxxminoo 51 lets l6 Shingouki 9l know how he feels by taunting him... then jump in to Dragon punch him afte l6 Shingouki 9l tries hitting him. As hit, combos fly its clear this round is gonna be a close one. as l6 Shingouki 9l pull's off some of Juri's combo's to bring his health in line with Traxxminoo 5's, Traxxminoo 51 hits back with little but awesome dragon punch cancel to Focused Dragon punch combo! And then it happens just when we thought Traxxmino 51 had l6 Shingouki 9l he pulls off Juri's Ultra with devastating consequences which brings our Semi Finals to a close.




And here it is THE GRAND FINAL; Johnyrainbow1 (Rose) VS l6 Shingouki 9l (Juri)

THE GRAND FINAL: so Johnyrainbow1 decides to use Rose instead of Guile, will this be a bad choice is he confusing his opponent? So we decided instead of giving a brief talk over each round we urge you to watch it as its such a close call, and we are still asking ourselves why did he do that Ultra at that point in the match!!!

OR MESSAGE ME;

Preview written by: Sci0n


In 2007 Realtime Worlds released a game for the xbox 360 called Crackdown, and with it being an early game for the console it still proved to be quite a hit. Many said people mainly bought it for the Halo 3 Beta invite.... for me i actually bought it for wanting to play the game, as Realtime worlds had there hand at doing the GTA series (well the CEO) and anyone who played the game could easily say the game was fun, it had 2 player Co-op, distinctive look and the gameplay was different to anything else we had played!


Now 3 years later and Crackdown 2 is about to be released, and even though the game isnt being developed by Realtime Worlds (as they've been doing APB) so the folks over at Ruffian Games have took over for the Sequel, and at first we was worried but the nice people at Ruffian games have been kind enough to give us a demo. So is Crackdown 2 better or has it lost its magic it once had?


Well we can say right now Crackdown 2 is as addictive and fun as the first game, from the moment the demo opens you know how much fun this gonna be. They've added so much it's hard to even think where to begin! There are new weapons, vehicles, enemy's, even a new suit as you upgrade your skills, of course all this is done in the same way it was in the first crackdown but they have added Orbs for of those skill trees lying around the city, some even run away from you begging you to catch them. These are called 'Renegade Agility Orbs' and move once you get close to them some have to be pursued while on foot, others while in a vehicle! Its all very Crackdown as on one of our playthroughs of the demo we found ourselves just running around collecting the orbs, or running as many people we could over to unlock each skill set.


It reminded us of how much we loved orb searching/collecting, as we never did get all the orbs in the original crackdown. now there is more than these to collect as we found audio diaries etc.. you could even earn achievements in the demo ready for you to unlock them in the full game, But sadly we haven't unlocked any as of writing this which begs for us to keep playing the demo until we do. the demo was enhanced for you to unlock the skill's faster and we did wonder what we would be able to do if we wasn't at the level we got to on one of our playthroughs. As at one point we was in a infected lair defending ourselves while the beacon was deployed and had to charge it self up.


which got use thinking what if we wasn't level 3 in strength/shooting/agility would we of survived the attack or would the beacon survived as it did take quite a beating and nearly got destroyed? which ask another question with the game being 4 player Co-op would some of the Lairs/Strongholds have to be done with 4 players or even just 2? so many questions that seem would only be answered once we get to play the full game. as Crackdown has 'The Cell' these replace the gangs of the first game, they see them selves as the people who want to rid the city of the agency and its agents and have released a virus for certain reason we wont say. Then there are the 'Infected/Freaks' these things were once people of pacific city who got infected by the virus, these creatures only come out at night and are strong, fast and we do think there will be ones that are agile as well.


So not only does our agent have 'The Cell' to deal with it also has the 'Infected/Freaks' to contend with, which offers the player more ways to earn those orbs. pacific city has changed to you will notice some of the landmarks from the first game but the city has expanded adding new areas for you to explore or for you to just cause mayhem. And we can say you have even more weapons/gadgets to do so not all of them are unlocked in the demo but the ones we do get to mess around with were fun, we could go on about so much and this is just the demo.

the demo just makes us want the full game so much we cant wait to play it! Ruffian games seem to have done a good job, yet we do wonder what they have in-store for the Multiplayer. when the 9th of July come we will be running, jumping, shooting our way around pacific city with 3 of our other friends or even doing something else like; trying to drive a car up a building or even having races to the top of buildings, then only to try and boot our mates of the top just for a laugh.




PREVIEWED BY:

After watching Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony's E3 Press Conference's i feel as though this years E3 was a weak showing for the hardcore gamer, it felt like MS/Sony was all about the Motion controller's even after Sony kinda failed at the Sixaxis as i have yet to see a game take full advantage of it and it work!

No this year was all about both company's going about how they defined that area of gaming, how they are the only place you can get these kind of precise controls.... well let me tell you as a gamer, I DONT GIVE A FUCK! (well i do but i'll explain)

So ill give a run down of each Press Conference;

Microsoft's:

So now we know the name of Project Natal...... KINETIC! and even though i dont think the name is bad, i wasn't that impressed by the game. OK so we know the MTV's Dance Central is gonna sell loads, just as Your shape fitness game is gonna do the same, see we is all for this but c'mon MS what about all the other game's you could of shown?



There was no Big Wow moments at all, OK there was a bit with gears of war 3/Black op's. But still it wasn't show stopping stuff! Last years was way better and i have to say MS WTF was the circus thing about hmmm as that was a load of crap. for us we could see where MS was going with there Press Conference they was targeting the Casual gamer, which is a good business move as you can see by the Wii sale's and game sale's that these kinda game's do sell well!

Also there is now a Xbox 360 slim? which looks lovely as hell but is it gonna be a decent model this time round and is it gonna be any less quite (not that bothers us considering we have our TV's quite loud) well atleast MS put built in Wi-fi into it!

Its just a shame MS didn't show other big game's or there future plans for hardcore gamers, if we're honest we feel a bit let down with MS this yr as ok we now know the name for Project Natal (Kinetic) but still there is no price point for it. But overall MS's Conference was for them to push Kinetic this year im just hoping we dont see a Master Chief @ the Common wealth games, or Master Chief @ MS sports!

well lets hope MS dont forget about us Hardcore gamers that's all we're gonna say.

Nintendo;

We cant be that pissed at Nintendo as they have all ways had Motion controls for the get go, and it seems that there just add better games for it. We did like the showing of the new Zelda: Skyward Sword! even if the controls did seem to lag a bit or not respond at all, but the games that they did show where ones that where interesting, As the Metriod game looked intriguing.



and The new 3DS game Icarus boy looked really good, but again the rest was typical Motion Control games! we didn't feel that Nintendo was offering anything new or a Must have even Zelda was a maybe after the control problems they had on stage.

Sony;

Let me get this out of the way, We have no interest in MOVE what so ever as its over priced offer's nothing that the Wii cant offer (apart from HD graphics) as for us Sony's Move is the wii-mote and Nun-chuck really. The game Sorcerer was cool and all but it was like a wanna be harry potter! and as for the rest of the Move game's we couldn't care less or that old games are getting its support,



but Sony did do something that made us happy, they showed Metal Twisted, Infamous 2, Sly Series (Re-Releasing) now we all think Kevin Butler is a funny guy but having a dig at MS/Nintendo about there Motion Controls just show's how petty Sony is, hell they even Dig at Apple and the I-phone/Pad. I mean dig all you want Sony but FACT is the sale's figures speak for them self!

and lets also be honest and say the PSP-Go is............ for us a waste of time, so we not even gonna bother!

As you can tell we wasnt impressed that much by what we saw, we do see the potential of these's new motion controls but i think its a way off before hardcore gamers are gonna jump on the band wagon!

Here are some MP video's of Uncharted 2, my Ps3 did crash during the recording of both of them!

Being a Transformer's is nearly every kids dream, and after one good movie and one shit game, and a OK sequel to that game (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen) now High Moon Studio's are releasing Transformers: War For Cybertron, And they have released a demo on the Xbox Live Marketplace and from what we played it was fun and better than the other games that have been released.

High Moon Studio's is doing something else other Dev's have missed and not done..... Not doing a movie tie-in game, which is one of the best things they could of done!



The Demo comes with 2 game mode's; Team Deathmatch, Conquest and only 2 Class's to pick from, but before you go into any game you can customize your character class from different weapons to Abilities etc... and more are unlocked as you progress (or the more kills/capture's you get) think Modern Warfare 2/Battlefield;Bad Company 2 and you'll understand what we mean as you earn XP for each Kill/Capture and in doing so you level up unlocking different abilities, weapons, upgrades and there even challenges to complete you can even select Regional/Worldwide for your matchmaking!



These Xp Unlocks can change how you play the game and mode, its just a shame you can only unlock certain things though that might be down to that you can only level up to 'Level 3' but it does get us thinking as to what the full game can offer as we could see so many opportunities for things like "Oh man wish i could be a jet and fly over here and cover my team or wouldn't it be cool if had a shield to block incoming fire while i defend this point" we did have so many moments where we felt like we was in a war against the Decepiticons/Autobots, in short we actually felt like we was a Transformer!



High Moon Studio's is on to something here as the game is fun to play you can tell there's gonna be lot on offer from the full game by just playing the demo, which makes us wonder will the Single player part be as good as we hope it will? As we have never seen how The War started or even much of Cybertron for that matter, we do hope HMS dont mess it all up! well we can say the MP demo was a nice taste of thing's to come, as in some ways it's kind of hard to put into word's some of the moments we had; Like driving at the enemy shooting then transforming and sliding across the floor while still shooting like one of the scene's from the movie!






Quick look at some of the Options/Xp Unlocks etc...
