tFU Hoth Expansion

I just played the Force Unleashed Hoth Expansion Mission Pack. Guess what? There is no single achievement for the whole thing on X-Box Live! The overall quality was not as good as the previous expansions. I didn't get disappointed that much however. It was still the Force Unleashed action but, well could be 400 MS Points or so, at the moment it is 800. 800 is not much but to this particular mission pack it is a little bit much, I acknowledged.

Anyways... Until the sequel hits the stores I am guessing this will be the only tFU action we are going to get. I mean I don't think we are gonna get another expainsion for the first game. Maybe some more Avatar Tees or something like that, but that's all. Any new game content; I don't think. In fact that may be the last content ever for this game. We'll see.

After VGA

The biggest news for me is of course The Force Unleashed II. I was going to be excited no matter what, but nontheless it was a surprise and was a nice trailer afterall. Also one must admit Samuel L. Jackson is great at whatever he does. He announced the game in a very cool way... There is not much to tell at this point other than Lucasarts will develop the game internally.
Another exciting news for me was the in game demo trailer for Halo Reach! It sure looks handsomely awesome. There was a quote in it like "Spartans never die, they are just missing in action". That was a nice quote, motivating to do flagging @ XBL some more...
Conclusion is 2010 will be a great year for gamers. Batman Arkham Asylum 2, New Medal of Honor, tOR MMO, tFU, Halo Reach etc. etc. all comes in 2010. It'll be an interesting year for sure.
Anyways thanks to http://www.gametrailers.com/ for a great night and show.

ODST

I played Clone Wars: Republic Heroes and Halo 3: ODST this weekend. Both games are finished. I am impressed with Clone Wars [by the way my X Box read it very problematically, disc may be flawed]. The game doesn't look that good but it is a Star Wars title nontheless and I loved it. The real deal is ODST however.



I have seen only a handful of games over the last decade with that much beautiful storytelling. Action was in Halo standards but the story, enviroments, dialogs were very satisfactionary =p . Actors and the Actress plays an important role here but, even if there would no such names there, It would still be a good story. And if you stil don't know whom I am talkin about here goes nothing: Nathan Fillion and Tricia Helfer. After this there is nothing much I could tell more.

Lucasarts Partners Up With Steam

This week's one of the top beautiful news came from Lucasarts. They announced this partnership out of nowhere and made us very happy in the meantime, with both free codes on net and great upcoming news. In the first line, we already had these 10;

1. Armed And Sangerous
2. Indiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis
3. Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure
4. Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventure
5. Loom
6. Star Wars Battlefront II
7. Star Wars Republic Commando
8. Star Wars Starfighter
9. The Dig
10. Thrillville: Off The Rails

These are all awesome, but one has my love more than the others. LOOM. Oh gosh mmm. Even Republic Commando is my all time favourite game on PC platform, Loom has a special place in my heart.

As many times I stated my soul belongs to Lucasarts. Enjoy the partnership with Steam, go buy somethings.

Maybe they are gonna do more awesome things in the future for us, like Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion on iPhone kind of stuff. Why did I say that? No reason? Wink Wink Nod Nod.

PS: Apple Appstore Policy forbids to announce anything before they are really ready to release.

Dark Side Temptations

I wrote a new journal entry to my Deviantart page here: http://cyricy.deviantart.com/journal/ for all the drama queens and kings out there, I think you will enjoy my last entry (named Joining the Dark Side) so much it will make you... I have no idea what it will make you, just read if you are up to it. Thanks in advance if you comment about it :P .

iTunes

You should have (if any interest) already noticed that I love Star Wars. Anyways, I am watching Clone Wars nowadays with great anticipation. I Liked it a lot. And since it is not originally airing in my country, I am watching it a day or two late by downloading and/or try to catch it on satellite or something like that every weekend. I don't like this a bit. So I decided to give iTunes a chance. I am strictly against Apple Products. But Star Wars can be a great mind changer for me. So I installed, so I got an account, so I bought an episode. Then what the #u##? Resolution is horrible, there are movie artifacts all over the video, it is like a VCD quality or something. Then I try to search it on the web a lil bit, dig some blog and forums. People usually say that it is not that bad (yea there may be something wrong with my "catching the details if it is about star wars" skills), thus I got the idea that something wrong with my settings maybe another software maybe just maybe hardware? I am not sure yet because I didn't have time to investigate if something's wrong with my settings. But at the moment I found it highly very unlikely. Because I have no other problems with any other codec. And I can watch pretty good ".mov" files. Still I'll try to figure it out, but I am keeping my hopes low profile :P for the moment. Anyways; after the video issues I also gave a try to radio services on iTunes. I didn't try it out in details but the result is: Last.Fm FTW once again! Last.Fm Last.Fm Last.FM!

New Entries

http://blogs.starwars.com/cyricreports/ has a new entry. I gave my 2 cents on Star Wars Republic Commando Order 66 novel. And I also recommend (well if you know Turkish and into IT) one of my friend's blog. It is a really insightful blog, I am usually commenting on there too. Have a nice blogging, digging, rssing, reading, writing. Altho; thanks for reading.
