Review: GTA: The Ballad of Gay Tony
Story:
Much like its predecessors TBOGT is a well written story full of laughs and gasps, but mostly laughs. TBOGT puts you in the shoes of Luis Lopez, a ex-con turned business partner with “Gay Tony” Prince, who is Algonquin’s resident night club tycoon. Although your business partners with Tony, you more or less act as his bodyguard, and believe me does this man ever need a bodyguard. Read the rest of this entry »

Deep Silver release new DS and Wii box art for “Lets Play Ballerina”
Today, Deep Silver released a few case art images for the game Let’s Play Ballerina. The game is being released for both the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo DS/DSi. Yes, I know that for the most part Bitbaggers aren’t really looking for this type of title. I personally have a few nieces that want this game for their NDS.
Tekken 6 Three Weeks Later
As someone who has played Tekken 6 more hours than he’s slept since it’s release date, I can more than point out all that’s wrong with the game. The biggest being the lag. I have played ranked matches that have literally been in slow motion from start to finish. Until one has mastered precision button presses and really gotten used to the lag they have very little chance of winning. I’ve even played some player matches where my opponents’ only goal is to practice a specific move to learn lag timing. It’s disappointing when a really good match is reduced to doing whatever it takes to win because of lag. Characters with guaranteed juggles off of a low attack have such a distinct advantage online due to lag and the properties and priority of their moves. Bryan’s guaranteed off of df+3 can get really annoying at times and people spamming Kazuya’s triple spin kicks isn’t any better. It’s because of this that learning to low parry is mandatory. Low parrying isn’t going to amount to anything without the right follow up. It still amazes me how a game can be a lot fun offline and quite frustrating at times once you take it online. Until the patch is released I suggest hosting some player matches and inviting friends with really good connections.

No Splinter Cell Conviction Demo With Assassin’s Creed 2
Basically, the title says it all. I went down to my Gamestop tonight to pick up Assassin’s Creed 2 at midnight. I came home popped it open and saw a slip saying “Free Exclusive Offer” for Splinter Cell: Conviction. I assumed that this was the demo HipHopGamer was talking about earlier this week. Well, it isn’t. You go to a website, sign up for some stuff, and all you get are ringtones/a wallpaper. Don’t expect something like what we saw back in the day with Zone of the Enders and the Metal Gear Solid 2 demo. Remember those days? When developers gave you something really cool like a demo. Anyway, you can’t blame Ubisoft because they never officially came out and said it. We’ll just have to wait till 2010 to get our Sam Fisher fix. On the bright note, so far so good from what I’ve played of Assassin’s Creed 2
I’ll even give you the code because it is a single code that works for everyone, so if you want the ringtones and wallpapers:

MattG GTA IV: Ballad of Gay Tony Review
When Grand Theft Auto IV was released back in Spring 2008, the game was a critical success getting one of the highest scores in Metacritic history with a 98. Game reviewers praised it’s story, the amount of detail put into making the world seem real, and the advancement in gameplay/graphics from the last gen versions. While this is all true, many fans of the game we’re disappointed in the game, saying that goofing around wasn’t as fun, that it got old after a while, and that overall the game wasn’t as exciting as past versions. The Ballad of Gay Tony, Rockstar’s last piece of exclusive DLC for the Xbox 360, hopes to change that by adding a ton of new features and mission types to the world of GTA IV, but does this new adventure in Liberty City give the fans what they want….
