Bulletstorm
Bulletstorm hit shelves today and I have to say that its pretty awesome. I haven't played a ton but so far what I can tell you is that it seems like a faster paced version of Borderlands. Its got a great story and the game play is amazing. The Skillshot system is one of the coolest features, and it makes killing enemy's a bit more gory and interesting. The Boss battles are difficult but not so much that you rage quit and shut off the system. Make sure that you pay attention because the game will give you hints here and there to tell you when a difficult battle is on its way. Everything that you earn in the game depends on how creatively you destroy your enemy's using several unique guns and the environment to do so. The Skillshot system also has a lot to with that so use it when the opportunity arises
The game has a very cinematic feel and does an amazing job of sucking you in right away. The sound and picture quality is some of the best that I've had the chance to experience. So far this is the best thing Epic Games has produced and I can't wait to get back to it. I'm giving this title a 5 out of 5 so go and grab a copy as soon as you can!

Borderlands 2
I've been on a pretty big Borderlands kick as of late so I thought that I would write some about Borderlands and what I would like to see in Borderlands 3. I fell in love with Borderland the second I put it in. I instantly absorbed myself into the story while I was stunned by the outstanding comic book style graphics. Although I consider this an RPG, but unlike most RPG's this game wasn't carried by the story it was carried by some of the most amazing game play I ever encountered. I'm saying the story is bad either, its actually quote well done, it's just that the game play of this game is just that good.
Some additions in the next game that I would like to see is maybe a few more vehicles. I'm not looking for tanks by any means but just a few more varieties of the the one they had in the first one. I would say that some player vs player online game mode would be nice, but I fear with that people would want to try and turn it into just another FPS and forget that its not what the game is about. Playing online with friends is pretty sick, but i think that maybe adding more enemy's when playing like that might make the game a little more intense and fun. This game doesn't have to be different but just a few tweaks here and there so it isn't the same game twice would be nice. That usually is a very uncommon thing for me to say. I usually want to change lots of things about a game so for me to say something like that you know it has to be good.
I hope those of you who haven't tried this game go and get it. If you buy it used it can't be more than 20 or 30 bucks and the DLC is totally wort the 1600 microsoft points I paid for it and it might be even cheaper now. I put easily 100 hrs into the game and still counting. So you know the replay value id extremely high. I know a few people that still play with me online from time to time. So seriously check it out.

Xbox 360 vs Playstation 3
When it comes to shear processing power the PS3 runs circles around the 360. On the other side the 360 has more exclusive games and downloadable content that is available for almost a month over other platforms. So what side does one choose? On paper that stats for the PS3 says that big things are comong and coming fast. Huge games with amazing graphics and out of this world environments that you could interact with in every way. But where is it, where is all this break though content that we were promised? With Uncharted 2 and God of War 3 we thought it was here. And when Killzone 3 comes out, maybe thats what I've been looking forward to, but it just seems like they aren't trying surpass everyone to me. Then you take a look at the 360 and see that it was out almost a year before the PS3 and easily has 2x times the content because people refused to wait and bought the 360. And that head start really did a lot to stop the PS3 from being progressive. And they had another chance when they made some half assed attempt to improve on Nintendo's motion controllers but Xbox 1-uped them again with the Kinect. The PS3 got cocky and thought since they ran the industry for 15 years they could show up late to the game and still outsell everyone . But that didn't happen, All that potential power just sits there, waiting to be unleashed but still, for the most part it seems like nobody cares. When are they going to finally tap into the power of this machine and finally give us something INNOVATIVE. I want you to pull through this slump Sony, I really do but you've shown me nothing to prove that you will be leading the way again anytime soon.
There have been opportunistic times that have come to Playstation to never have been in the situation that they are in now. Its like they just forgot to show up for the meetings. For instance. you knew after the 1st day that the Halo franchise was going to be a huge success. What did you do to compete with it? You sure as hell didn't make an effort to get the exclusive rights to the Call of Duty franchise, you didn't worry about keeping the Final Fantasy contract. You sure as hell didn't put your development team to work on a FPS thats was going to have a shot at toping the Halo game and sling-shotting your system to the top for good. As far as I can tell you didn't do a damn thing about any of it and now are trying to scramble for answers. This is why I don't feel bad about turning my back on you Playstation. You lost an extremely loyal fanbase because you got lazy and cocky. I know many many people that don't even care what you do now because they have the 360 and are happy. If you ever want to be on top again you need to start spending some goddamn money and put some shit on the table that Mircosoft has to try to catch up to you on. If you don't do that, you might as well just stick to tvs because there wont be many more chances. If the new Xbox hits shelves before Sony comes out with something new and innovative, Playstation might as well just give up.
Of course these are my opinions, and they may not mean much on a grand scale but I just miss my playstaion and wish that they weren't such dumb asses. Please let me know what you guys think!
