So I came into work today an quickly discovered they blacklisted all gaming websites. It sucks big time because I did most of my commenting while at work. So sorry to say I may not get to comment as much as I used to. Thankfully I just got a iPhone so i can still check in now and then, and I will probably be checking in more at home. This shouldn't impede too much on doing reviews and such, I will have my review for Capsized soon and you may be hearing me on the Backloggers Anonymous podcast as well. I hope I get used to this dumb iPhone touchpad, that's one thing I miss about my blackberry 9930, the keypad was ace.

August is gonna be a crazy month for game releases. Its like lets end summer with a bang in video games!!!! Well even though there are several Id like to pick up Im sadly gonna have to make scarficies. While I dont have to save up the entire ammount for the PS4 in August I need to start saving up for it and atleast have 200 something saved up by the end of the month so that the last bit which will prolly be around 245 can be saved up between September and October. I preordered it off Amazon so I cant put money down on it like someone who preordered at Gamestop. I get paid 3 times in August so that will be achieveable since I can separete bills in 3 ways and save any spare cash up. The games I am for sure getting in August are Dragons Crown and Final Fantasy 14: Realm Reborn. I wanted to get Tales of Xillia, Killer is Dead, The Bureau: Xcom Declassified, and Saints Row 4. I most likely will have to wait though until I know its okay to spend spare cash on them. What are your current buys for August or are you staying away from buying any new games?

I was reading an article on Game Rant about 3 titles that have been kind of in limbo for a while that might make an apperance at E3. How they came to this info is quite interesting because I went to the site they talked about and it shows whos attending E3 and some show their products when you click on the link for them. Im gonna post a few with their products under their name. The 3 games by the way are Warriors Lair, Beyond Good and Evil 2, and The Last Guardian.

Tomorrow is the big announcement from Microsoft regarding their next generation console. I expect this to be very similar to the Sony press conference from February, where they will unveil some facts but keep some other stuff under wraps until E3. Regardless, I expect this PC to feature much of the same propaganda that people such as Aaron Greenberg and Larry "Major Nelson" Hyrb have been using for the last 8 years. I don't happen to know who will be on stage tomorrow but I expect the pro-Microsoft video game media and their so-called "journalists" (who are really nothing but weak-minded, greedy hardcore gamers who got in good with somebody) to eat up these announcements like the people Joseph Goebbels brought in for his Sportpalast Speech in 1943.

I finished up Gacaumelee. That was an awesome game and a great fit to play on the Vita. Games like that will easily have me play my Vita more. I first started on the PS3 and then went to the Vita and like how it easily transitioned and played great on both. I would like an easily transition from the PS3 to PS4 as well as the next Xbox but what I mean by this is simply having a lot of the multiplatform games planned for the PS3/360 available on the next gen systems. It would be nice to have the best version, already grow the next gen library faster, and move on quickly. What are those games? A lot of them are obvious choices that I would assume most would want.

This year was a bit thinner than what we were expecting, especially with Nintendo supposedly pulling back the curtain on the Wii U.  But while we were left a bit underwhelmed and with more questions than answers there were still plenty of games on display to get us excited for something.

Ubisoft's E3 2012 press conference showcased many games and although there weren't too many new games announced, what was shown was impressive. Trailers for Splinter Cell: Blacklist, ZombiU, and Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth were shown and a video quickly announcing Rabbids Land, Your Shape (an exercise title), and Sports Connection (a collection of mini-games) all for the Wii U was also shown.

During Microsoft's E3 Press Conference, Ubisoft pulled the cover off of their latest endeavor in the Splinter Cell series, Blacklist. Once again featuring Sam Fisher, players will find themselves embroiled in a Middle Eastern conflict, wherein Sam is in control of an operative group. The title, which is only known to be coming to the Xbox 360 at this time (though likely coming to other systems as well) will be available spring 2013.

First things first, I have a Twitter account now!  PixlAJ.  I’m warning all of you now though that I do NOT know how to use this thing, so take some pity on the old man trying to run with the hip teen funsters.
