Pc Vs. Consol

“well then would you be surprised to hear that pc game software sales are suffering greatly compared to the console sales? yes their is a lot more to pc games, however most gamers want to play something on the highest possible graphics, with a stable frame rate, and sadly pc doesn’t give a solid 100% chance that, that will always be the case (unless you own a mock 5 or something better), then there is the fact that multiplayer often suffers on pc nowadays, without any ranking system for most games... not to mention that there is almost always an absence of any achievements that drives most gamers nowadays who own a 360, i know ever time i beat a game on my computer, i feel as if i haven’t gotten anything done, because I’m not getting that little "achievement unlocked" message on the bottom of the screen.” By ddragon http://www.sekaiproject.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=283

This a very good statement because it does state the problems that the pc has but the consol best example is Oblivion for the pc and consol in the Shivering island is much harder a more time consuming. The Game for the Xbox 360 Oblivion, has taken people into the world of The Elder Scrolls IV. If any of you are a fan of Morrowind you should like it. There are tons of quest to complete, and all kinds of fun. While Oblivion itself is a good game, but the expansion The Shivering Isles extends your fun . The Shivering Isles is a door way in Oblivion that takes you out of the land of Cyrodiil, and brings you to the Shivering Isles, Which is ruled buy a Daedric Prince called Sheogorath the lord of Madness. Boy is he mad, the first time you meet him he says "I am very happy to finely meet, so happy that I thank I'll rip out you intestines, and if you will not heed my request then I will rip them out anyway ha ha," and when you tell him no he tells you "my realms, my rules." The lord of madness Sheogorath has employed you to stop some thing called the Gray March. The Gray March is when another Daedric lord who wants to take over the realm of madness invades. So you are stuck between the lord of madness Sheogorath and the lord of order Jyggalag. You go around doing very weird things (But what would you expect from the lord of madness.) You have the go to this prison where Adventurers are tested one of two ways. One they are confronted and killed by beast of the realm of madness. Two, they are driving insane by illusions, or places that would make them go insane.

Itachi Uchiha

Is Itachi a kick butt kind of guy?
By Talion Ashtear

For any Naruto fans out there you know what the Sharingan is. The eyes that scare people, there's just something about having red eyes with black dots in them. That shows how munch power they possess. If any of you Naruto fans are getting bored with the series just want Itachi Uchiha is soon to make his appearance, then the real fun begins. Bring on the Mongekyo Sharingan, Itachi Uchiha is coming run little brother run. Haa. The coming of Itachi Uchiha is about here. The wait is all most over, now we get to see if the English version can stand up to the Japanese version. We shall found out in the big battle of Itachi Uchiha vs. Kakashi Hatake, Mongekyo Sharingan Vs three point Sharingan. Makes me wonder if they will show Itachi's Tsukuyomi technique. It's one of the best Jutsu in the show so they better. There's just something about using your eyes to open up another domination is awesome, pulling some one in to a place were you control time a space, and the very mass of objects, where you can stab someone for 72 hours when only an hour has pass in the real world. One of the most intense battles is on its way, were Sasuke Uchiha attacks his older brother Itachi. He just charges at him with the Chidori and Itachi just blocks it with one hand. What a waste of a good move, Sasuke. After that Itachi grab his wrist and broke it, then kick him across the room in to the wall leaving a indention in it. So Sasuke gets his butt kick by his older brother, Itachi one Sasuke zero. Then to add insult to injury he put him in Tsukuyomi for 48 hours reliving his clan being murder by Itachi.

proposals

Reality is defined as the state of world as it really is rather then what you want it to be. Fantasy is fiction portraying highly imaginative characters or settings. Differencing between reality and fantasy for video games can be complicated for people. Most people have no problem telling fantasy from reality, but there are those few who do. The question is what kind of games would cause them to view fantasy as reality? To fix this problem parents should talk to their children and explain in full detail the different between reality and fantasy, especially games that feature humans killing other humans. There is censorship out there but lets face some facts; it doesn’t work all the time or solve anything. We need to make a class in the local schools where children ages four to sixteen attend a class where they can play video games for a couple hours and then talk to the instructor after words about what they think is real and what is fantasy in their opinion.
The purpose of video game censorship is to protect the children from exposed to violence, blood, and obscene language, which is a very noble goal. Parents think that by just never buying the game or that there are age restrictions on a game that it will stop their child from having to be exposed to the games. However, this does not stop the children from going over to a friends or a relative’s house and playing what was forbidden for them to play at their own home. Plus, there’s the fact that trying to protect a kid from violence and obscene language is not so easy to do when the world constantly exposes it to them. Parent’s should let their child have the game and explain it to them that what they see in game is not real, and should never be bought back into the real world. In turn this teaches children that what they see on the screen is completely unreal and is in an imaginary world. This is the different between reality and fantasy come in on the strongest level. There are certain games in today’s society game playing that looks like they are spreading a message that it’s ok to kill people, without repercussions in life. A few examples of these are Grand Theft Auto, Saints Row, and Manhunt.

Now if there was a class that could help people understand the content of video games then it would help them in comprehending the difference in fantasy and reality. This class should feature games of every genera from, Role Playing Games (RPG), First Person Shooters (FPS), fighting, and Action Games (AG).

Saiana The Next Chapter part 2

200 gold earned, a days work all done, time to find somewhere to rest for the night. Saiana leaves the Blood-works to find an Inn to sleep for the night. So she heads into the now very dark city of Cyordil. She comes to a shop with a light on and it reads Inn so she has found the right place. She walks up to the Inn keeper and ask?

"How much is a room for the night."

the Inn keeper replies in a very groggy voice like he just want to sleep and was waken up just now.

"It's 50 gold a night sweet heart."And smiles at her.

She kind of shutters, because she really hates being called "Sweet-heart." (She's a warrior and the term sweet-heart hurts her the pride.) Turns walks up the stairs and goes to her room, and falls down in the bed exhausted and spent for the night. The cock crows and Saiana wakes up and puts her leather armor on, and grabs her sword and walks out the door and down the stairs. She hands the inn keeper the key to the room and walks out the door for the Blood-works to urn more money. As she's walking down the street, Saiana stop's and sees some Imperial guards talking about the Gary Fox, a high price thief that is the most wanted man in all of Cyordiil. She then takes a look to the right and sees a wanted poster on the wall that has a picture of the Gray Fox on it. It shows a picture of a man wearing a long gray mask and says below it Gray Fox, and list a six foot long crime list of what crimes his committed. Then at the very bottom of the list it says "Gray Fox possible leader of the thief's guild." Saiana thought for a minute what a thief guild would be. "Who would want to be in a guild of untrustworthy people theres no honor among thieves."

anime

Definition: a style of cartoon or animation made in Japan that focuses on futuristic themes and robot like characters; also called Anime. This is a very broad definition of Anime because Anime consist of more than just robot like characters. Anime in itself is and art style that has become very popular in the U.S. over the years.In those resent years Anime has been dived up into different parts. First I'll start with the most basic Mecha is any Anime that contains giant robots, or power armored suits ea Bubblegum crisis to Gundam wing. This type of Anime has colossal battles in giant robotic suit that could blow up half a plant. Second a style called Shonin. In Shonin Anime the main character is always on a quest to become stronger in both mind and body, and mostly throughout the series his goal is to save the ones he cares about. This style always as about five or more guys on the team with about two to three girls, this style also includes epic battles and tons of fighting. Most popular example of this is Bleach, or Naruto. Thirdly Shojo, Shojo is a style of Anime that is more on the romantic side and has to deal with more of life's struggles and not fighting others. Most of this it is focus around how a boy is going to prove that he loves a girl or vice versa, these are most of the time very funny. Example Air, and Kanon.

Xenosaga 3

It has been a very long and bumpy road for the die-hard Xenosaga series fans these past couple of years. The dismal performance of Episode II last year did not go unnoticed by the producers. However, while the next game in the series would only be a year and a half in the coming, it carried with it the ominous tag of being the "final game of an epic trilogy". For a series initially conceived as a six-part tour de force through Gnostic mythology as filtered through space drama, having it end half way is almost as disappointing as Episode II's sales were. But man, what an ending.

By John "TheFurryOne" Zeitler. June 25, 2008.

I toddle agree with this statement made by John. Xenosaga II was a very hard and difficult game. The battle system was very…..very hard and the combo system was just dumb. Your characters do not get stronger they do very little damage and your enemy’s can hit you for three-hundred to about four-hundred damage two you just by one enemy. Mean while you and you characters can barely do a hundred damage. The only why you can get a decent attack is to use your boost gauge and combo break and keep using popup attacks and ground pound, which is knocking your opponent down on the ground and slashing or in Ziggy’s case (who is a android by the way) Stomps on them this normally does a great amount of damage. Second E.S. combat was boring whatever happed to “Oh I don’t know the way they did the gears battle system in Xenogears for the original Play Station.” Anything is better that just press two buttons and hit your opponent. “How boring is that.” But on the other hand I also agree with the way the CGI was and the story was outstandingly awesome, and well done. It covered the Story from the last game right where it left off. The sales were so low on this game because one it was made by a different company than the first one, and the battle system blowhard core.

Iron man cout.

This is a view from a fan who wrote a review of the movie sacflyzone

Rest assured, Iron Man is an absolutely amazing movie. I won't dare spoil any of this remarkable movie for you but I do recommend it as highly as I possibly can. Marvel needed to get in to the solo movie making business long ago. Instead of leasing out their characters to other studios, they're making movies themselves. Most everyone knows Iron Man is their first effort and what a great lead off film! This movie helps take the comic book genre to the highest level. Just like they did in the books, they reinvent standard epic adventure by "Marvelizing" characters and making them more believable. The Spider-Man and the X-Men movies did this to a degree but only as far as their respective studios wished to stay true to the source material. Anything added or amended was for the benefit of the live action adaptation. Director Sam Raimi pulled this off by talking to the summer crowd, not down to them with the Spider-Man series. Jon Favreau has done the same thing here but I think he's done it even better. Raimi intentionally threw in a little cheese. Favreau adds nice bits of humor but not too much. He also grounds the action and the suit of armor in firm reality. I've said it before but it's brave to reach for the highest common denominator with a big budget film and Favreau delivers a movie with as much feeling as it has action and intensity. Needless to say, Robert Downey Jr. and company deliver the goods. It's a movie that has a wonderful balance that delivers intelligence with its fun. You can the full review at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371746/usercomments

It is true the Marvel films have improved since they took over their own movies. I mean look at X-men I was really disappoint in it, and don't even get me started on the third one (I mean my god making the phoenix a mental disorder why........why would you turn a universal protector into this, someone give me an answer please.) And Cyclopes bring killed be Jean or rather the Phoenix, and the death of the prof this was wrong in so mean ways. What happen to Gambit, the raging Cajun some movie writer said that Gambit did not have a big enough part in the Marvel universal to add to the movie? Hello he did have his own comic book named after him mean anything to them. Then Fantastic Four came and that was not to bad, I liked that this one even know the changed Doc. Doom how they got his powers the same time as Johny, Reed, Sue, and Ben received their powers. Spider-man was good up any to the third movie that is. (OK my major beef with three is the way they used Venom. First the actor that played Eddie Brook was way to small body wise, people who read Spider-man know Eddie is a man build like a house and the symbiont makes him bigger. And the worst part was he refers to himself as I instead as We which was the whole thing around him an the alien. Eddie was not fully attested to the alien, now if they talk about Carnage they would be right. Then there was the Hulk what a crappy movie, I loved the old version with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno that was a great way of showing the defence between the Hulk and Doctor David Banner. Anyways way that's all from me for now.
