Quantum of Solace for Xbox 360

// January 24th, 2009 // No Comments » // Blog, Gaming, Reviews, mistical.com

I was not expecting much when I popped this game in but wow, I was amazed at what I got. It is just a rental but wow, I would definitely of bought this game had I known how great it was.

This is the 007 game that, if you are a fan, you have missed since Goldeneye 007 on N64. Not only is the single player great but multiplayer as well. The single player campaign is not very long nor very difficult on 007 difficulty but it does provide a small challenge but not like say Call of Duty games on Veteran and such.

They have a cover system in the game which works very well though sometimes, more so online, there are hiccups. The game would not be as great without such a cover system especially for how difficult it would be on 007 difficulty or even just to stay stealthy and when or when not to move around a corner or whichever the case may be.

Multiplayer is a whole other different story. I was so surprised to see many, many people actually playing this game online. Not just during the day but at night as well. At night though most people playing are from other countries and not just the UK and connection is shit too but still it is nice to see a game that many people are playing online 3 months still after release.

The multiplayer graphics are not the best but this can easily be ignored to just play and have fun. There are many game modes to play for which you gain points from on each to be able to purchase weapons, gadgets and so forth for your player.

Overall, I would most definitely recommend picking up this game. I would rate it a 7.5/10. The movie itself may of sucked in my opinion but it is a nice FPS for the most part to play if you are looking for a game to play. The multiplayer is definitely worth checking out and will add more hours to the game as well. Especially since people are still playing it as I said with it being out now for 3 months.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop

Last night I saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop with my sister and younger brother. Go see this movie!

It is absolutely hilarious. Now given I already think Kevin James is awesome and hilarious and would watch him anyways, I still think it is absolutely funny to see and well worth the money spent.

Especially since now a days you could easily see all the funny parts in the trailer, they ruin it but not in this case at all. Also the fact that movies you see now a days are not as funny as you would hope, that does not apply here either.

80,005 Gamerscore

// January 5th, 2009 // No Comments » // Blog, Gaming, mistical.com

Earlier today I hit a Gamerscore of 80,005, sadly. Trust me when I say I am not as bad as other gamerscore whores out there and that I at least do not spend my time around building it higher either.

Though my next goal is to get 100,000, I doubt I will be seeing that anytime soon. At the earliest, I could possibly see that being in around 6 months or more, who knows. Plus, I have had 360 since release date, so I have had quite sometime to achieve such a gamerscore whereas others may of just bought a 360 6 months ago.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a great New Year and got rid of 2008 with a bang. I sure did.
