MLB 2K10 Musings
Better late than never. Baseball fans should have a read because it’s not as bad as you may have been lead to believe…
Impressions: Blur Multiplayer Beta
Activision has begun the awkwardly titled Blur Multiplayer Beta Demo on Xbox 360. Basically, with the game two months from release it’s a closed demo, and while a web page is set up for beta testers to report any bugs or feedback, I have to imagine the only thing that may get tuned is the amount of XP per race or how much XP it takes to level up. Not the actual racing, cars, tracks, or power ups. Yes, power ups. Blur is Bizarre Creations’ attempt to merge realistic racing with the arcadey action of a Mario Kart game. Throw in a Call of Dutyesque leveling system complete with challenges to complete and you have what on paper sounds like a rock solid hit.

Grand Theft Auto IV: A Trilogy On One Disc
In 2004 Rockstar Games released Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and in doing so wrapped up a trilogy of loosely connected games that began with 2001’s Grand Theft Auto III. An accomplishment that took three years and three individual full priced games to pull off, impressive to say the least. In 2006 at E3 then Vice President of Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Business, Peter Moore stood on stage and announced that Grand Theft Auto IV was coming to the Xbox 360. Not only that, but it was bringing along two exclusive downloadable episodes. No one knew it at the time, but Rockstar Games was going to turn Grand Theft Auto IV into a trilogy using one disc.
How Do You Choose An MMO?
I’m a sucker for a good MMO. There’s something about the combination of questing, loot dropping, leveling up, and hanging with friends that just hits me in the right spot. The question is with new MMOs springing up every day how do you choose the MMO that’s right for you? Let’s face it trying to play one MMO without sending your life into a tailspin is hard enough, I can’t imagine trying to juggle two virtual lives. So we have to pick one, but how?
