Xbox 360 never did a thing for me. I preferred the ps3 over and over. Functions, parts, price, value, reliability, and games all favored the ps3. But now. I have a sour taste in my mouth. I am over the playstation network, after it was hacked and i had to change all my credit card numbers, i have not wanted to buy a damn thing from sony again online. After playing saints row 3 which was buggy as fuck, bad frame rate most of the time and 100 times better on the pc if you have a good video card. I am over the ps3. There are no more exclusives coming out for it that I want. Twisted Metal, no thanks. The rest of us? No thanks.

I have had a lot of time now to look back. I have been playing skyrim on the PC because the ps3 version is ugly, slow, and has horrid bugs that cripple the game so you don’t want to play it. The pc version has bugs too, but they have mostly been fixed with updates as the ps3 still has no fixes. The games that made me get a ps3 were socom (which turned out to be the sickest cruelest joke in all of gaming history), rpgs (which all suck now with bad stories bad voice acting and terrible character design, I’d rather play ps1 rpgs thank you). FPS(which is still better on the pc). I also made the mistake of buying a PS MOVE setup. No great games take advantage of it. Honestly it has no advantage over time over the dual shock 3. What a waste of fucking money. All my ps3 online friends that I used to play games with all had kids and have no time for it anymore. Sure I enjoyed Uncharted and games like that. Here is my problem though, I spend 65 bucks on a game that takes me 7 hours to beat. That is a joke. Sure they added multiplayer, but seriously, who cares about that on most games. I only like battlefield 3 any how honestly and it is way better on the PC. Killzone? Laggy controls and bad framerates. Fun for a short while, boring in the long haul. Games on the ps3 and xbox 360 lack depth. Well except for games like fall out and skyrim and the rockstar games like la noire, gta, red dead etc(wish these would come out on pc at the same time as the console versions, I guess I will have to just miss out on rockstar games till they come out on pc). but those are way better on the pc as well.

So what then. I finally invested in a new video card. A redeon 6850. Now all the games are great at 1080p full res, as to where all the games on ps3 and 360 run at 720p and lesser framerates and detail and filtering settings. I played Skyrim for 40 + hours. and it was nice. Soon Diablo comes out. I want to play dues ex, and the witcher 2. I got sonic generations off of Steam for $14.99. There are never sweet deals like this on the playstation network, renting movies on psn is a joke too, way to expensive. I am turning on the ps3 less and less.

I was going to buy a playstation vita but why? So you can play the same old 6 hour ps3 single player games over and over that have no real immediate replay value? or 40 hour plus rpgs that rock? nope we get the ps3 regurgitated back to us with a touch screen and an annoying in the way backpanel on the go with bad battery life and portable on the go. No thanks sony. I’m not paying for a vita with expensive memory cards and its the same price as the ps3. I dont care, maybe if it was 150 i would consider it. I have an ipad2 and a PC. I find myself using these much more often now.

So my final word: I am done with the ps3, the wii and the 360. The Wii U can suck my shit too. PC and Ipad. This is where I will be spending my money in the future. Ipad games are super cheap even though the controls suck, still they don’t bankrupt me like the ps3 does. Steam is awesome, they have deals and discounts all the time, like mass effect for 9 bucks, that game has better graphics on my setup than any ps3 game on the market. Mouse and keyboard is way better for fps still. So Bye Bye sony. I wont be buying a ps4, a wii u, a vita, or a xbox 720 either. I’ve had enough of over priced gaming with inferior quality, bad framerates, lower res textures, and crappy filtering. In the begining, the ps3 was great and out performed my PC back then. The pc has more than surpassed this generation of consoles in a very embarrassing way.

Rock Bottom Paradise Welcome to Paradise Fake Lukankasi Flavour of The Weak Massacre The Sinner Blessed by Lesser Gods Multiple Scars Code 187 feat. Sinsect The Jolt Into The Blind World In God We Lust Prelude to War Methods of Pain Self Destructive Tendencies The Analogue Bomb feat. virtual terrorist Leave in Ruin

Well, I had thought the scene was shit now for years. All this raver goth detuned trance lead shit, unmusical terror ebm, and all the mainstream acts that sell the most just left a bad taste in my fucking mouth, it is why I only review old music. Glad to say I have found some new bands that do not leave this bad taste in my mouth, only to find out that they are underground and hardly known at all. I must have melodies, catchy intelligent lyrics, and groove to get into an electronic band. This band has it in spades.

Psykkle – Lukankasi [Rock Bottom Paradise 2011] by Psykkle

I think this is like their 3rd release. I will try and check out their other releases soon, for now, WOW i really love this cd. How would i describe this? If you took ebm slowed it down and make it groove. Then got some strange female to spice it up in a very unique way. I have not heard a voice like this before. The male Vocals are pissed and distorted how i like them to be in this kind of music but not over the top like in terror ebm shit. Thank goodness.

Psykkle – Fake [Re-Stiched Mix] by Psykkle

My favorite song is FAKE. Love the main hook and vocal line, it just sticks in my head. I love how the distorted bass pulses on it as well. This song lurks and grooves, perfect for the club scene. The LP version is better than the remix one I have featured on this review. “I take pride and soulless eyes after watching you die” <---- love that.

Other songs I dig, Lukankasi. Love the wailing vocals. The cool arpeggio pretty stuff! I love the vocal melodies on this track. Powerful. I also really like Flavor of the weak, Blessed by Lesser Gods, and into the blind world as well. Out of all the new stuff I have heard recently, this is at the top of my list. This deserves to be on metropolis records. I hope someone picks them up and gets them distributed and touring.

Very cool band I found about when I was messaged on Facebook by the author, i just looked into it, and was surprised that I liked it Dark, reminds me of old decree and the tear garden a bit. Any how you listen to it and leave a comment! The Ratking EP free on the link above Favorite tracks: btrayal , Ratking, albyno . I love the piano work. Love the atmospheric trippy stuff in it. I give it a 7 out of 10. This guy deserves more attention so spread the word!

Opening words:
Bad company 2 had really laggy killzone 2 like controls. This is what has put me off of Dice’s engines. Sure they deliver destruction and vehicle combat on those games but still I could not get into the low frame rate and laggy floaty controls. Have they fixed my main gripe of the series?

Single Player: 9.0
So it kind of borrows a bit from black ops the way it tells the story. Other than that, this game is way different and more realistic than any of the call of duty games. The story is not that fantastic. I did love the way the soldiers chatted with each other. One of them is a alternative history nut and it reminds me of the way i talk to people sometimes I can see this annoying mainstream people and I can see why they would give the game bad marks for the game challenging their brainwashed patriot point of view. That is what makes this more real. In real life, even I have talked to some of the soldiers from the recent wars and heard things like this come out of their mouths as well. This game has a more gritty real feel to it. I beat it, and man I liked it a lot over all, more than call of duty, this felt like a real war, not some Michael bay action movie like cod is.

Visuals:8.7
The game is running at a lower than 720p resolution. No it’s no killzone. How does it compare to call of duty? Well it has a more gritty look. It does not look all glossy and fake like call of duty does. Still lower polygon count, and a blurrier look and feel. I understand why though, HUGE MAPS, and vehicles. COD does not have this. Some of the maps have a vast draw distance. Consider the world it is pulling off and that is what makes me look fondly of the graphics of this game. I love the graphical anomalies from close shots stirring up dust.

Audio: 7.0
The sound fx are hit and miss. I really hate the crackle sounds they use for bullet hits from far away. On a lot of the guns I hear the mechanics of the bolt action more than the bullet leaving the barrel. Pretty fake sound in my opinion. The random soldier yells are great, lots of swearing. The voice acting is stale and bland. The music ROCKS. The best thing about the sound in this game is the music hands down.

Game mechanics: 9.8
This is where the game shines, you get to choose from 4 classes, all of which are very important. Assault doubles as medic(reviving dead players and throwing down med packs can really turn the tide on rush and conquest modes or grenade launcher specialist. Mechanic get medium range guns and rocket launcher and robots and mines. Support gets c4(tank killer stealth ninja style best thing about the game, let me explain: Playing as support allows you to hunt tanks and other transports that have heavy guns and can really mess you up, sure the mechanic can launch rockets, but it takes 4 or 5 hits of that to kill a tank, if you sneak up to a tank and throw 3 c4 charges on it and run far away then trigger the explosion from a safe distance with out being killed, this is amazing, you get such a rush. could be my favorite thing ever in any fps) you also get to re arm your team with ammo boxes, you get claymores and motor fire as well(mortor fire is so fun, nothing like it in any other video game) Support class is by far the most fun. Then you get the lame sniper. I hate sniping not even going to waste time talking about it. Sniper gets a spawn point generator, that is really cool.

What about the controls? Did they fix the lag? YES and No. It is improved and it doesn’t play as tight as call of duty. Who fucking cares that is beyond fast twitch shit. This sits right in the middle of bad company 2 and cod. So this passes the test for me. The joy of blowing up a fully loaded transport with c4 is pure gaming bliss. The suspense of planting c4 on a tank and getting away taking out a huge threat and saving your team from the big gun menace is amazing. Unlockng rockets in a jet and raining down hellfire on mission objectives from the sky, throwing out chaffing to thwart lock on missile attacks. All of this adds something huge to the standard fps. The huge maps as well are a plus for sniping and the way the terrain is, you can run in cover. Lots of rocks an hills to hide in.

Vehicles: This is what sets this game above and beyond Call of Duty, Socom, and all the rest. If you decide to play as a tank guy, a plane or helicopter guy, these are robust paths to take in the experience and can be a ton of fun that is outside the realm of standard FPS Bullshit. Every vehicle controls and feels different from the other.

Game modes: Rush is bad ass, its like killzone’s rolling objective modes. This is a simple plant the bomb and hold down till it blows or defend. Or capture the flag. It has team death match, squad modes and hardcore modes. I only play rush. It seems the most frantic and needs team work to really work. Mics are a must for this mode. I love how the squad leader can set objectives and when you follow orders you get bonus points. This is so great.

Multiplayer: 10
NAILED IT. By far the best team tactical shooter on the market. Way better than socom. Way better than call of duty. The huge maps, the semi tight controls, the vehicles and character classes and abilities. Picking the mechanic with air rocket launcher, trying to lock on to the enemies air support and take them out is a game unto itself with in the main game mode. So many little games within this huge game. So many ways to play the game. Healer, Ammo guy, Fix vehicles with the mechanic, you can play support hang back and help your team wage war. Or you can get in the trenches and play it old school fps. Sure bad company kind of had this before. Simply put this engine makes it tight enough for people like me who like tight controls to get into it. It is like a FPS RPG. With different classes and point upgrades for each. I had to become proficient with 3 of the classes, everything but sniper. When you care about team work and you are not playing with your friends, you can spawn into a squad where everyone is a medic or a mechanic and no one is play support, this really hurts the team. So i will choose a class that will help us win the map in our squad configuration. This game makes me think unlike COD which is fast twitch run and gun shit.

Replay:10
This has so many options, so many ways to play. To experience it all, and become good at it all, it could take years.

Total score: 9.9
Simply the best FPS on the market. Sure it has one annoying thing, if you spawn on a big map with out a vehicle when attacking, it can be a long long walk. Other than the, seriously this is the most fun I have had on my ps3 in ages. I am not even that interested in Uncharted thanks to this game. I will not buy a new COD game, the COD games are just map packs with the same game engine over and over and over. 65 bucks for a map pack is steep. Buy the LTD edition of this game to get the free dlc maps coming in December! This is a must buy if you like team play, squad play, fps, and vehicle combat. This feels way more like WAR than any other game. Ignore COD. BF3 is the more intelligent game that will keep you coming back for years, not months. I lucked out and bought this from ea origin online for 44 bucks, i got a birthday discount! Thanks EA!!!!!! Buy Battlefield 3 for ps3 LTD edition

HanDover Ovirt Cullorblind Wavy AshAs Gambatte Icktums Point Brownstone Vyrisus Village NoiseX

The LP starts, it sounds like Download drums and weird old school puppy riffs from old. Ohgr starts singing and it sounds much more erect and melodic like Ohgr, which is better than his LIMP and uninspired vocals of the greater wrong and mythmaker. This is a plus.

But wait, is this skinny puppy? Really? NO. NOT EVEN. The spooky evil is not here, the angry passion and super violent sound is not here. What is this then? It sounds like the musicality of the Ohgr Sound project Infused with DOWNLOAD! This is not a bad thing at all, because Ohgr and Download are both great projects in their own right.

Best songs? For me. First is Wavy, I love the guitar and the melody. Then Village which is the most aggressive song on the lp. Cullorblind is pretty melodic and cool as well. I love Vyrisus as well, melodic robotic.

I am really happy to buy this, but sad that this is not really a new skinny puppy lp. Honestly I find that I like the ohgr project more than this even.

Especially the last ohgr lp unDeveloped. That is by far way more catchy and melodic and fun than this. I still like this LP and its great to be able to listen to something that soudns like Ohgr meets Download.

I give this a 6.5 out of 10. A good lp, but not a classic. Click here to buy Handover on mp3 for 6.99.
