A little late to the party - Migoy finally gets a PS3

KOS-MOS That's right folks. It finally happened. I now own a PS3. Funny thing, I bought it on the day of the PS3's launch that happened 5 years ago. Happy birthday PS3.

Meet Ziggy, yes I just named my PS3. Ziggy is a PS3 Slim with a 320 gigabyte hard drive in it. I got this bad boy at Mr. Dynamic which can be found at the 3rd floor of Greenhills Vira Mall for P13,400 cash price (14.300 credit price). It was a good choice to get the PS3 there as they were kind enough to test the system for me on the spot and update it to the latest firmware from Sony. Net has been janky all week at home so it's good that it got updated right then and there.

First game I got for Ziggy is Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. This one I got at Datablitz and they threw in a free poster which is proudly posted on my wall as I haven't had a video game poster, or any poster for that matter, for a long long time.

its a pain

 

Also got a $20 PSN card because Castlevania: Harmony of Despair was ported to PSN back in September and was something that I've been wanting since Symphony of the Night, a multiplayer 2D Castlevania game.

free poster is free

I wish I had more money to shell out for awesome games that have come out these past few months like Saints Row The Third, Batman Arkham City, Battlefield 3, etc. But hey, it's the holiday season, I might get lucky in the free video games department.

Next thing to save up for, an HDTV!

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword reviews are in

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Wii's biggest and only game is days away and the reviews started showing up in most sites. What the result?? yet another Zelda game worth playing it seems. Here's a round-up of all the reviews out now. 

EDGE - 10/10

1UP - B+

G4 - 4/5

Gameinformer - 10/10

Gamepro - 4/5

IGN - 10/10

Joystiq - 4.5/5

Cheat Code Central - 5.0

GamesRadar - 9/10

Videogamer - 10/10

Wired - 10/10

Will update any more reviews, but so far the game is looking to be worth a buy as expected. Regardless of you required to swing your controller around your room, it seems like it brings minor issues to the table while playing. While watching some of the game reviews, it made me realize how amazing the game looks. It's definitely the best looking game you'll get out of the Wii. Last time a game looked this gorgeous was Mario Galaxy 2. With the Nintendo Wii's limitations in the graphics department, I'm surprised that up until now they we're able to squeeze out some amazing visuals.

If Deus Ex was turned into a movie, it would be good

Think about it, wouldn't Deus Ex's world be perfect for a blockbuster movie? especially Deus Ex: Human Revolution's plot? Screw movies such as Resident Evil and Street Fighter, there are so many better concepts in the gaming industry  and Deus Ex is one of them. Some think so too - I came across this live action trailer for Deus Ex: Human Revolution that made me think "yeah, I can see it working".

 

Kudos to the people who made this trailer! If you haven't played Deus Ex: Human Revolution, I highly suggest it. I was worried about the story building up too much, but towards the end it concluded well.

 

Kevin Butler salutes Legit_Btness

Hall of Play screen Almost each ad coming from Kevin Butler has been epic. This is no exception. Kevin Butler salutes all those players that even though they suck so bad, keep playing. All those proud gamers that keep going regardless of your score, this dance is for you.

I also want to note, he does it with a straight face too.

 

 

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - Live Action Trailer

Modern Warfare 3 Activision added some famous stars yet again for their live-action trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The live-action features Sam Worthington(Avatar) and Jonah Hill(Get Him to the Greek), with Sam being the "Vet" showing the ropes to a "Noob" .

It's kinda cool but I prefer the last one(shown below) compared to this one. If I remeber correctly, they also released this trailer right before Call of Duty: Black Ops was released. They used the " There's a soldier in all of us" tagline as well.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is out on November 8 for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Will you be getting it together with the whole world?
