As you would know, Christmas is approaching. And with it a great number of video games. Not only has Infinity Ward given us the opportunity to purchase the COD: Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition. The have now teamed up Microsoft. The Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 bundle will come with an Xbox 360 with a 250GB HDD and 2 controllers. Of course it comes with the game. But will it be the Prestige Edition, Doubt it. Anyway you can get all that for $399. Fantastic. Too bad Final Fantasy XIII is coming out this December in Japan and will be bundled with the PS3. And no Japanese Xbox 360 release for FF XIII. It’s a numbers game. And both companies are playing for keeps. It doesn’t where you sell the consoles as long as they move.

There is no mistake that we all love video games to some extent. But more often than not we question if video games deserve the love that so many fans give them. During the current console war we have seen the Wii and Nintendo DS out sell everything. Xbox Live has grown beyond even Microsoft’s ability to maintain. And Sony’s price drop with the emergence of the PS3 Slim.

This holiday season will bring about one of the greatest number of titles to ever ship. So many in fact that quite a few are fighting over the first quarter if 2010. With all this chaos brewing, there is little mention, or anticipation for Sony’s PSP Go! This years E3 was jammed with PSP Go! hype. Since then it seems to have died down. Or is Sony just waiting for next weeks Tokyo Game Show? The launch for PSP Go is only 2 weeks away, but PS3 slim is hogging the lime light. This newer rendition of Sony’s hand held needs a push.

With a 16 GB hard drive and no umd slot, psp go is really looking like the next best thing for portable gaming. In Europe they have announced that a Gran Turismo bundle will be available at launch. There has yet to be any bundle announced for the U.S. Big mistake. A bundle is what really sells the system. It’s the holiday season, and some incentive should be given to the consumer. If not a bundle then at least a good line up of titles on launch.  I don’t have a psp. Although I am looking forward to the psp go. Without having to lug around umd’s, it becomes quite convenient as a portable. It’s smaller than the psp 3000. And you can carry several movies and games with no extra baggage. Great right?! Not so great really. It’s all about the content.

Truly I’d be a little upset to open my psp go, hit the PlayStation Store and find it wanting. Certain older titles should be available for download at launch. I mean everyone is looking for the new games. But if I had a psp already and bought a psp go, I’d like to have my library in tack. well I have to tell the truth. I just want certain games to download myself. Here’s a quick list. These games are cool to me, and also would make a nice addition to the psp go launch.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

God of War Chains of Olympus

Resistance Retribution

GTA: Liberty City Stories

Samurai Showdown Anthology

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War

Those are just a few, but would sure make for better playing on the new psp. Before and after October 1, the PSP Go’s launch day, there are a ton of titles coming out. All and I strongly imply ALL of those games should be available on the PSN to download onto the psp go. That alone will cause the hand held to jump off of shelves. Titles such as Persona, Motor Storm: Arctic Edge, GTA: Chinatown Wars, Little Big Planet, and Assassins Creed: Bloodlines will have have eager gamers (myself included) more than ready to drop $250. Also with the new mini’s that will debuting on the psp go hopefully more developers will start to support Sony’s hand held.  If Sony proves that they are capable of doing that, then the PSP Go will definitely become the wreaking ball everyone has been waiting for. After next week we’ll see exactly what Sony has planed for this little machine. I personally wouldn’t mind an Assassins Creed PSP Go. They do have one for the PSP 3000. But me….. It’s PSP GO! all the way. Should we believe the hype? Believe It!!!

Ninja Theory the developers behind the PS3 exclusive Heavenly Sword have a new game. And it’s called enslave. Instead of reworking Heavenly Sword, they have optioned to start from the ground up. The design looks similar to H. S. These scans taken from the developers computer, and article from Game Informer magazine is the first glimpse we get at of Enslaved. The article explains a few minor details about the game. But the words are so small. Guess we’ll have to wait a few weeks for the next game Informer to ship. The lead character is named Monkey. That’s the huge muscle bound guy. The girl pictured is named Trip an educated tech/hack. Can’t really tell what the game is all about, besides ripping robots apart. Let’s hope the game mechanics are smother than Heavenly Sword, with some platforming also.

Following in the steps of the Polar Express. A Christmas Carol is an All CGI 3D film. And Jim Carrey is back to his old self again. Cutting a fool and making us laugh. This time around you can see him in all his computer imaged glory.

There aren’t many films that come eevn close to this. I think the last movie that made feel the way Takers seems to, was Heat. Anybody remember that?!?! AHAHAHA

Well, what  can I say. This is my type of movie.

These Images are from the second episode of the premier, Jump, Push, Fall. My boy Peter Petrelli is back on the scene. Hopefully he’s doing the right thing with powers. Saying that, I mean he should be accumulating as many powers as he can. And learn who to properly use them. And Hiro is being Hiro. Getting himself into a fix that even time traveling can’t correct.
