Sims 3 Spoof Of...

Twilight: New Moon. What do the two have in common? Hard to say; one is a game and the other a movie. However, in todays society games encompass a lot of things that movies do as well. Safe to say both are growing to be interrelated. In the case I am presenting to you today, both entail the aspect of forming relationships (be it different or same sex). The Twilight Saga aims to get you emotionally involved with the characters and this Sims Spoof aims to poke fun at it. The video is complete with shirtless boys, lipstick wearing vampires, lots of making out, strange Sims 3 language, and awkward sexual confusion. I know you have heard enough about Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and the rest of the cast of The Twilight Saga: New Moon to last a lifetime. I promise I will make this quick and painless. Well, Electronic Arts feels your pain and they have used The Sims 3 to parody the New Moon trailer (which has been played way too many times). I honestly dont know how I came across it but when I did, I found it amusing. Take a look for yourself...


Hilarious! I hope there is no Twilight game in development. Seriously, I love Twilight but that would be a bit much.

Behold for my new favorite game...


Modern Warfare 2 =) Surprised? Dont be, I'm sure I'm not the only one instantly addicted to the newly released game which smashed records, bringing in $310 million in 24 hours in North America. Mike Griffith, CEO of Activision Publishing, has reason to celebrate "the biggest launch in history across all forms of entertainment." My brother waited patiently for this limited edition Xbox (which included the game) and didn't even get to hook it up when he got home. How sad. The following day, I couldnt help but notice the black box as it sat on my living room floor patiently waiting for someone to open it. I wanted to be that someone. I hooked it up and attempted to play. Yes, attempted. I cant even begin to explain how difficult I found it at first. I didnt give up though, oh no, I kept trying. Ultimately, I got through the training and went on to play; I was hooked. The storytelling and cinematics are superb, I just lose myself. Before I knew it I spent 45 minutes trying to perfect my abilities to walk, aim and shoot at the same time. As easy as it sounded, it wasn't. Safe to say it will be a while before I can join Xbox Live (without any embarassment). I know, I'm a hypocrite passively criticizing people those who are devoted fans and wondering how they can play for hours. Well, my hat goes off to you fellow Modern Warfare fans, it is an amazing game. So amazing that Infinity Ward is already working on the "next installment" of the series, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, where you take on the role of PVT. Keeshon Lewis. There will also be a Wii version of the game that includes a 17-pound controller, shaped like a M-249 Machine Gun. Sounds cool. Until then, I will happily settle for my five pound controller.

MW2 Xbox

My brother came into my room and told me that hes getting a "Modern Warfare 2 edition Xbox" so I looked at him and said "ughhh, okay." What the heck is a Modern Warfare 2 edition Xbox 360 and how does it differ from the orginial Xbox 360? Well, little do I know its the limited edition console which releases with the game November 10th. Apparently, fans can now 'arm' themselves with the Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 limited edition console, featuring an exclusive design inspired by the epic thriller. It includes more storage space than ever before in a 250GB hard drive, two Xbox 360 wireless controllers, as well as an Xbox 360 headset and a standard edition copy of Modern Warfare 2. That sounds cool, it also sounds expensive. The estimated retail price is $399. Not bad. I mean we do have a Playstation, why cant he just play that? "Its not the same." Ill take his word for it.



When I seen a picture I wasnt too fond of the faceplate; it's a little goofy. It doesnt put forth a 'modern warfare' theme, it is just gray with a stripe, F-141 and a 2 on it. Knowing myself I would walk in a room, see it, and ask why someone has an F-141 Xbox. If I played the game enough, I would know it is a multinational special operations group in the game. Other than the lack of 'exclusive design' it sounds like a fantastic deal. I know you can spend about $100 on the game and controller alone. I have heard that doubling the hard drive of the orginal would be expensive, so the 250GB is just like a bonus at this price. He has been looking into getting a 360 ever since the price dropped, this is the time to do it.
