New Pokemon game comming to Wii
As reported on Kombo.com the latest issue of Famitsu magazine had an interview with the President of the Pokemon Company in japan Mr. Ishihara the manly talked about Heart Gold and Soul Silver but at the end on the interview he sates that "I can't go into details about it, but we're also working on a Wii game. It should be announced soon."
Think of the possiblities it could be an updated version of Pokemon Battle Revolution or it could an 3d rpg like Pokemon Gale Of Darkness which would be awsome or the unlikely one would be The Poemon World MMORPG any one of these would be a sure hit with fans of pokes (like my self) as long as it's not a Pokemon Dungon game they've already made like 5 this yead and thats alot of pokemon games we only get 5 core rpgs a generation.
The Final Reason to hate Actavision
Yep I've gotten to the end of my episodic tirade against Actavision. The last reason to hate Activision and a few reasion not to hate them (as much)here goes.
Actavision might be an evil organization (kinda) we might never see that on say a PS3 ever so thank you Big Ac for giving us dreams of playing WOW for hte comfort of my couch and for robbing us of millons of dollers again we say thank you.
Guitar Hero 5 at least the song list anyway. When I saw the footage of GH5 I was happy I actualy stopped making these posts for awhile(I also needed to come up with ideas) then a few days latter I saw the song list and all that happiness went away. Then I played my freined's copy and saw the Song Store and figured it out. Actavision made a really solid GH title to hook people ino buying the made a new Guitar charge the Wii gamers the HD system price claiming it's for licensing all money making ploys on a game that acording to Bobby dosen't cost enough. Then if u happen to wade through all this and still buy the game they suck more money out of you buy more just to get an pretty good song list. So you say maybe use the import option and import the World Tour yeah thats cool but you still have to buy the songs you bought when you bought World Tour. So you buy GH5 right with the new Guitar it'l run you about $90 bucks then you get the World Tour import songs thats about $12 dollers and say u acually find something on hte store u wanna buy thats $3 bucks for a sond that most likly costs 99 cents on Itunes (or for free at those eye patch freandly venues) so all in all you pay $105 dollers for roughly the same expeareance you get on World Tour. (which u already paid for) dang
Now not every thing that Big Ac has done is bad Actavision has done so good things too one being the merger with Blizzard and giving all us console gamers a glimer of hope that we might see games like WOW and Diablo on consoles somthing we might have never seen with out Activision.
Actavision might be an evil organization (kinda) we might never see that on say a PS3 ever so thank you Big Ac for giving us dreams of playing WOW for hte comfort of my couch and for robbing us of millons of dollers again we say thank you.

Sony drops teh PS3's price and gets a 14,000% increse in sales in a week MS follows suit (cause thats what they do) now Big N chops 50 bucks off the wii i guess that 50% sales drop hurts more than we knew. Wii now 199.99 get while u can.

Thats right this is the "THIRD" time i've this Kaz pic but whatever. Kaz Harai gave his TGS Keynote tonite he went over spike in PS3 sales the release of the PSP GO(EPIC FAIL im sorry) when I read it there were 3 things that cought my attention. 1 was he mention Yakuza 4 didn't know they were making a 4th one(another one we'll get 3 years down the line). 2 He dropped the name of the PS3 Motion Controler the offical name is Playstaion UI or PSUI for short. and the final thing I can only show you so here it is.

Sega brings gifts to King Kaz in a secret meeting
Thanks to Joystic and the same Sega FTP that leaked Sega as Conduit's publisher (nobody and Sega sees a paturn here) has leaked a meeting Sega of America's head Roy (somthing i kinda forgot) and SCEA higher ups about whats next
Alleged official meeting notes:
SCEA Meeting Aug 5th Notes
Aug 6 2009 – DRAFT FOR COMMENTS
Objectives of Meeting
Alleged official meeting notes:
SCEA Meeting Aug 5th Notes
Aug 6 2009 – DRAFT FOR COMMENTS
Objectives of Meeting
- Dyer agreed to regular quarterly meetings with SOA
- SCEA reiterated plans to sell 13 million PS3s this year
- Big announcement back half of year they can't talk about (potentially price cut of PS3 to reach hardware goals)
- SCEA commented on indexing between PS3 and 360 SKUs, should be around 2:1 to garner most favorable treatment.
- Spring 2010 launch (March in JP)
- No bundle/pricing details yet, should come Sept 1
- Plan on selling 4-5MM units WW
- SCEA agreed to provide a list of Sega IP that would work well with the motion controller, Virtua Tennis was an example
- Motion Controller support allows easy way to differentiate PS3 SKU
- Other differentiation opportunities include PSP/PS3 interoperability – think of features that would make users want to buy both PS3 and PSP SKUs.
- Michael Foster, product evaluator, said AP felt barely RPG. Initial level too challenging for players. "Mass Effect felt more RPG."
- Review notes sent to John Merlino a few weeks prior. After meeting Gerald mentioned AP is a high priority for his team.
- Sell in of PS3 SKU – SCEA noted that other movie titles on PS3 had underperformed as well (inc. Transformers) this cycle.
- Dyer suggests contacting Susan at Walmart and asking what she wants in the pack to sell this SKU (movie tix etc)
- Other possibilities are Hybrid movie disc (BD 25 or 50 with Game and Movie on same disc).
- Collectors edition with Bayonetta Action Figure
- Novo recommended launching PSN demo around Xmas based off a Jan 5th Ship date with 2-3 week run out to launch.
- 3-4 weeks is usually ideal demo timing with fresh content every week leading up to launch (trailers, insider video about PG heritage, video blogs).
- HOME, Olympic destination would garner a lot of positive attention from SCEA
- Should be doing same with Bayonetta, Marvel etc. Easy to launch in all territories.
- HOME merchandizing opportunities (clothes etc).
- Open to DLC to differentiate PS3 SKU – not ratchet and clank but other characters
- maybe characters from Rare or Fable universes
- Could put Japanese games directly on PSN for download in a special Japanese Import section (pricing $9.99 to $39.99 for full game).
- Might need to localize menus at least with subtitles.
- SCEA interested in helping on MKTG side if they can have period of exclusivity.
- Another great HOME candidate
- AVP avatars
- Hybrid BD disc with movie
- Great candidate for HOME space – explore Tony Stark's lab etc.
- Should have one for Marvel in general.
- Could do bundle at GameStop with PSP 30-35K units on UMD, Go, or both.
- Could bundle with PSP as well.
- Opportunity for PS3/PSP interoperability (see Eidos Batman, Army of Two, Assassin's Creed for good examples).
- If we offer that SCEA would be really interested in having us at their booth next E3.
- SCEA would like a look at the code soon.
- Could put out collectors edition with all old sonic games on one BD disc.
- "Best of Sonic" for around $99.
- SCEA would love PSN exclusive power ups/different game modes (like Castlevania's flip it over/backwards)
- SCEA wants to sell all PS2 titles on PSN (GTA Vice City/Sonic/etc)
- For co Marketing money show PS3 controller on TV ads – similar to EA Madden Spots, NCAA, etc...
- Perfect opportunity for Motion Controller integration.
- If we provide a list of DC titles SCEA will let us know which ones they're interested in having exclusively.
- If we give them a long period of exclusivity they'll give us more marketing support.
- For SKU differentiation it's best to offer features that are slightly different from PS3 version.
- Titles that are coming up on PSP are Assassin's Creed II, GTA China Wars, Resident Evil, Little Big Planet – all massive franchises.
- SCEA has a specific PSP deck which they can send up with their hardware director for a chat.
The secret of The Secret World
The secret of The Secret World
The Secret World is a new MMORPG from FUNCOM (Conan MMO) I've been watching this game for awhile with great intrest. The gameplay of TSW is one that is a growing thing in the MMO genra and that is the skill system (think FFXIIII) which dose not used Levels or Classes but uses a verity of skills and cuntomazation to diffrentiate players from on another alowing new useres too play the game more esaly. Also there will be a Guild system where players take a personality test to see where they would fit eather the religous Templars or the secretive Iluminati or the
deceving Dragon inside each faction the player can create groups of there own called Cabals that are seprate but loyal to one of the main groups.
(Curtasy of Wikipedia)
The game will feature an original setting created by Funcom, with contemporary elements as well as "magic, myths, conspiracies and dark horrors".[11] Contrary to rumors, spawned by this game's second working title, it has neither anything to do with, nor is inspired by the .hack franchise and its setting.[12] Tørnquist debunked several rumors surrounding The Secret World, stating that "there are no aliens or sci-fi elements" in it.[10] He also denied any connection of TSW to The Longest Journey.[10]
At GDC 2009, Tørnquist revealed more about the setting and the story.[2] He stressed that the game is set in the "modern day real world" but also incorporates pieces of ancient mythologies, real and false history, urban legends, and pop culture, and ties them into an original back-story. The latter is said to go back in time for 100 million years and encompass long extinct ancient civilizations. The players will assume the roles of supernatural heroes who participate in a "future war between good and evil", fighting dark monsters that threaten the modern world. Tørnquist identified the genre of the story as dark fantasy, mentioning vampires, demons, and zombies. The players will be free to travel across different locations of the world (both real, like London and New York, and mythical, e.g. Agartha, the legendary city located within Hollow Earth[13]) and even in time, to pursue the overall plot and investigate new mysteries in connection to the dark invasion. The overall plot will have a conclusion but the designers also leave room for future expansions.

Reasions to hate activision episode 4
Reasons to hate Activasion episode 4
Actavision killed Christmas
Thats right that is a pic a flaming Christmas tree your Christmas tree. that would have been hte had great games like Bioshock 2, Bayoneta, Dead Rising 2, Mass Effect 2, Diablo 3 (i'm just jokeing whith that last one). You'll all say how did Actavision do this well it's simple realy it's Modern Warfare 2 the game some say might be the biggest seling game this year with this new IPs
like Bayoneta and semi strong sequles like Bioshock 2don't stand a chance aginst a power house like CoD MW2 (diffinetly in this economy)
Now some would say what about ODST, and Uncharted 2 yeah the play a role aswell but as Exclusives they take a smaller marker share so frow a sales PoV Bioshock 2 would have the advantage a bigger install base then say Halo ODST Given hte fact they the PS3 gamers vvice Versa for Uncharted 2 but combine thoose with COD MW2 and u have a sales lock out.

Sony Squeeze Episode 2 Little Big Katamari
Ok this is a new feature of the Koolaid Splash it's called the Sony Squeeze(Yeah I know the
name sucks). The Sony Squeeze I will give a look at one (Sometimes 2) Sony exclusives titles
by posting videos and all the info I can find on that game. For this Epi of The SS we have 2 games
(Somewhat) the first being Katamari Forever.
Katamari Forever is the first Katamari Exclusively for PS3. Katamari Forever contains a mix of 30 levels, with some being brand new and some being levels from previous titles in the series. Older levels take place within the mind of the King of All Cosmos, who gets knocked in the head and suffers from amnesia. The levels are black-and-white in appearance, and the objective is to roll up junk to bring color back to the stages. New stages take place in the present, where RoboKing, a giant robotic version of the King of All Cosmos created by the cousins, goes on a rampage and destroys all the stars in the sky. The objective of the new levels involves creating stars by rolling up junk as in previous Katamari Damacy games.
So in the early parts of teh game think Da Blob meets Katamari (A match made in heaven)
then latter in the game returnes to it's roots which is still cool. You and get ur roll on with Katamari Forever on the stateside Sept. 22
Now the second one isn't really a game but wore of an addon to another cool PS3 game
but never the less it will still be cool. I present to you (for those of u who don't know)
Little Big Planet Water!
Little Big Planet Water is an addon to one of the most popular PS3 games to date Little Big Planet(derr). With the water addon pack it alows you to add water to your created levels making
thaing that much more interesting.
