V.G. Blog-The PS3 Elite: Vol. 1

Here are some of the PS3's best games and my reviews for them.
Metal Gear Solid 4

MGS4 is, i think, the best game or the past few years, if not decade. The game is just plain beautiful. You'll notice that when you watch a cutscene(which you'll spend most of your time doing), the graphics look the same in the scene as when you play the game!! I've never seen a game look so polished, but yet so gritty at the same time.

So it looks great, but how does it play? I've played MGS1 and 3, and those are good games, but the controls are clunky. Shoothing someone is a chore; but not in this one. Just hold the L1 button and press R1 to start shooting. The guns are also customizable....even though i must admit I didnt customize or buy weapons very often. Every control in the game just feels right....like when you want to camofloge yourself just simply go next to a wall or object and your octocamo will do the work for you. That is a big improvement over the 3rd game.

In conclusion, if you liked the other 3 games, or like shooters/action games, or if you have a PS3, BUY this game. Its that good.Its a lil on the hard side, but you feel so good after beating it. You definantly get your money's worth with this game.

Killzone 2

KZ2, is the best shooting game of the past 10 years. I wont say its the best all time, b/c i seem to remember a game called Goldenye 007 lol. Anyway i will break this game down right quick.

Okay the story is good, but i felt the 1st game had a slightly better story. I havent beaten the game yet, but from what i've played, its the most amazing single player mode ever. The Helghast are smart, formidable foes. Theres even some special enemies to deal with. Theres just so much excitement in the game its insane!

Yes the controls are very realistic. The game feels "heavy" well thats how it would be in real life. I really dont agree with reviews that give this game a 8.0 just for that. If i'm not mistaken, its about the same as KZ1 so you can't complain too much lol.

THe multiplayer will ensure you'll never get tired of this game. What separates this from other games is the fact you'll be doin "body count" mode which is team deathmatch...then all of a sudden you're doing search and destroy, or caputure and hold....the game keeps you on your toes.

I didnt talk about the graphics since you already know those are the best for a Console FPS....or maybe any FPS. With all that said, i'm a lil surprised GS gave it a 9.0 when this game is nothing less than a 9.5. Anyway BUY THIS GAME. You will get more than you paid for.

Uncharted 2

Man i read reviews and this and that on this game, and i couldnt believe the hype until i played this. This is without a doubt the 2nd best ps3 game to date. And its one of the best all time. The presentation is part of what makes it so great. It doesnt have the best story, but itsn not a bad one. The graphics are just plain beautiful. The voice acting is top notch.I luv seein how realistic Drake and the others characteres move/act. Everything else looks great too.

The controls seem to work great too. They're very simplistic. I like the cover system. The game feautres a lot of platforming. For the most part its fun, but pretty unrealistic. I dont care if Drake has the best hands in the world but those jumps from Iedge to ledge are pretty crazy. That aside the single player game is amazing and has good length.

The multiplayer is good too. You got Team Death match, Elmination, and the all important co-op modes for 3 players. The Co-op is a pretty unique experience.

Overall this is a must have for any PS3 owner. I pray that Sony does not put this on the xbox 360.....but the game is so "big" i dont think they can! Good job Naughty Dog!!!

Tech Review: Iphone Air

 I have only had this phone for over a week but I feel the need to review it. I recently got a 512gb light gold iPhone Air. This phone is so thin. You really have to hold it for yourself to believe it. I knew when I used it at a local Best Buy I had to have it. The phone is also a modern marvel having most of the technology in the camera bump. Of course you're wondering about that camera and battery life.  Honestly the battery is decent. It gets me through the day at work with minimal charging ( I mean who goes somewhere with no charger anymore?). The camera is good too. I'm not a huge camera guy anyways. The phone's 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is great. I really notice a difference from my old phone (iPhone 12). The phone doesn't really get that hot either which is great. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the one speaker on the phone....but honestly it's not that bad. I usually use headphones anyways. Apple Intelligence is still in beta but I think ...

Album Review: Kanye West- Donda 2

This was another Kanye album I wasn't too hype to listen to cause of its bad reputation. I am glad he put it on traditional music services.The album was available on this weird music player thing in 2022 at first. Kanye raps alot about his ex wife Kim Kardashian here. I know he did on Donda 1, but he does it a lot more here. The song "Get Lost" feels empty and is so boring. "Security" has a weird beat...I mean it's too weird for its own good.  I really like "Keep the Flowers", its got a nice beat to it.I liked "Too Easy" as well. "City of God" is arguably the best song....Alicia Keys does a great job, as does Five Foreign. A different version of "530" is here as well. I enjoyed "Pablo" too which features Future and Travis Scott. Ultimately its an average album....but it wasn't that bad overall. However it did fall woefully short of the first Donda 2 which was great. Lyrics 18 Beats 21 Depth 18 Tilt 18 Ver...

Video Game Review: Jedi Fallen Order

 I meant to review this game way back in the day when I first beat it but this is coming after my 2nd play-through. This time I played the game on hard difficulty and man was it tough. Compared to Jedi Survivor I think the game has a better story. You join Jedi padawan Cal Kestis as he escapes a scrapyard planet Bracca , fleeing from the Empire. Cal comes face to face with an Inquistor called 2nd sister. You end up fighting her a total of 4 times in the game.  The main story is Cal must help a former Jedi named Cere and her pilot Greez to find a Jedi holocron that has a list of force sensitive children to rebuild the Jedi Order. I gotta say the planets you visit are all for the most part pretty flushed out . I found Zeffo to be the main planet and navigating it is truly awful. Well I’m glad they made navigation better in Jedi Survivor. Of all the planets Dathomir (Darth Mauls planet) was by far the worst. There was tough enemies around every corner there and hard boss fights w...
