    Killzone

    This first person shooter brings you right into the action of a heinous struggle between ‘good and evil’. You are fighting a war against the helghast, which seems to be a, as Gamespot put it, “dark version of [your]self.” While you don’t spend alot of time (from what I have seen so far) getting to know who the Helghast is, you spend ALOT of time gunning them down. You go from a variety of different situations fighting the enemy with diferent guns on many different levels. One part I really do like about that game is it isn’t your normal run through killing everything shooter. If you do not use caution, you will die. You have to use some kind of plan to advance, which I think really draws you in, because you have to think out every situation you are in. What just worked in a control room isnt going to work in the court yard.
    Plus, They give you some fan-fucking-tastic weapons to play with. The standard assult rifle you get has a weak zoom, and a granade launcher as its second weapon. That is your standard gun. The Helghast gun is like the assault rifle you have, except its second weapon is a shot gun blast. Some of the other weapons I have played with: a shotty, a missile launcher, a gun turret (which is super powerful) and a sniper rifle, which takes some getting used to.
    Multiplayer is another fun aspect of the game. You can play with up to 4 people, and 500 bots. Yes, 500 bots. The bots are just like the helghast in the game, but probably a little smarter. The levels to play on are pretty big, and really fun. You get every weapon the game has to offer, including a portable version of the gun turret. But, just like in the campaign mode, if your not careful, you will die.
    One thing i didn’t like at first was that you can’t jump. But as Phil put it, “Who jumps around like [in Halo] in real life?” A good point. As for having to get over obsticles, the game provides the alternative of when approaching an alternative, you hit X. SO, thats not so much of a bother anymore. All in all the game is fun, entrancing, and somewhat realistic. I highly recommend it. 9.5/10.

    World of Warcarft

    This is a game were you pay for the game, and then u pay monthly to play it. The first month is free. Now, it seems simple. Don’t buy the game. But all of your friends tell you how awesome the game is. So you say “Well, ill buy game, play for the first month, and then not play any more.” Right. I have dubbed this game “World of Warcrack”. Because, well you get a taste of it right. The first time i played i was like, ehh. BUT, i couldnt stop thinking about playing it. About leveling my charater, making him stronger, getting him better weapons, killing stuff. So I keep playing. In 3 i must have logged, umm, too many hours to count. Needless to say, you wont just be playing the free month. Play the game alone the first time and its like ehh, but then u play with your friends. And yeah, its alot cooler. traveling in a pack, taking on bigger enemies, and plus you level quicker. And you can be 1 of 8 species, and then a profession. Im a dwarf Rouge. And a Human Wizard. If you are familiar with Warcraft, basically, your a Hero. The game= amazing. The paying for it= not so hot. But you’ll still do it. The stoners know what Im talking about. The game is really addictive. In an awesome way. If you like Diablo and Warcraft, you will absolutely <3 World of Warcraft. Later!

    Child’s Play

    Child’s Play is a charity organization started by Penny Arcade. It’s a way for Gamers to help sick children durring the Christmas Season. Last year Child’s Play raised over $250,000 in games/toys/cash for a Children’s Hospital in Seattle. This year, there are 4 other Children’s Hospitals nationally getting help from Child’s Play. Their Goal is $300,000 and right now they are at just under $50K. Not only is PA my favorite Comic (by Far), this is really a great oppertunity for everyone to help out Children around Christmas time. I’m glad ill get to help out by allowing these kids something that I have experienced and loved for 19 years. Later.
