Metal Gear Saga Volume 1

, ,

More great news for Metal Gear fans. For all pre-orders of Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence you will get this exclusive DVD recalling the MG Saga. This indepth documentary revisits games from the original Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid SnakeAs stated in a previous post MGS 3.5 is a remake of the hit game MGS3: Snake Eater that came out in 2004. You basically have the original game with added content such has additional camouflage and face paint. The newest feature will the 3rd person camera which will let you control the viewing angle of your character. I believe this feature is not enough to buy the game if you have the original. But hopefully this is not the only thing included in MGS 3.5 (Subsistence)! It includes a second disc called Persistence which will feature online gaming, a first for the Metal Gear series. The only mode will feature game styles that resemble Deathmatch, Capture the flag (I mean Frog), Assault. This second disc will mostly support one against all mode, team fight strategy and free-4-all killing p: . The first disc will let you fight boss from the original game, more Ape Escape stages, and a Demo theater featuring funny videos made by the production team.

But why stop there? We'll be blessed with a limited edition containing a third disc called Existence. This added bonus will feature a full director's cut of the game in a movie like style. So for those who never finished the game or just want to watch all the action over again, you sit tight and watch the whole game. You'll tell me what's the point? Well this mean you can show your friends how great the game is and how fantastic the story line is.

If you add it up, a fan like me will try to get a hold of all 4 discs (if you include the Saga vol. 1 DVD with pre-orders) as soon as possible. I did mention in a previous post that a version would come with a USB headset bundled with it. Can't wait for all the hype, it's going to be fun! Don't know the price yet, I'll have to pre-order soon. The game is due March 14, 2006.

Gone wireless

Just a quick update on my digital life, I've bought a D-Link Wireless router and set-up my network this week. I've bought an old monitor for my 266Mhz-PII and still trying to find a purpose for it (other than junk yard). Still I verified that my network is working thanks to the included USB wireless adapter that came in the D-Link kit. Finally I purchased a wireless ethernet bridge to connect my PS2 to the Internet. Hours of fun and entertainment await!

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

, , ,

This movie is so great! I've seen the first previews long ago. Nearly forgot about, but I've finally seen it.

This movie brings 3D animation to the top. Don't be scared of this sequel to the world greatest game ever (Final Fantasy VII on PlayStation).

We get the feel of the action, we are amazed by the moves and those are the kind of animation we would of like to see in the original game.

To understand the story you really must have played the game, or else you won't understand much. But to summarize we're two years after Sephiroth has been defeated. The other clones still want to organize the Reunion with mother Jenova.

Fine, you haven't played the game? Doesn't matter then it's a MUST see. FFVII:AC brings fantasy to pure extasy.

PS2 AC Adaptor Recall

I got an email from Sony Playstation today. I did fear I might fall in the early group of buyers that would require the change. I haven't used my PS2 in a few weeks and it seems that to be on the safe side would be to disconnect it until I receive the AC adaptor replacement.

I heard that X-Box had a similar recall once. That's what happens when they cut the price of a console and they use cheap compagnies to make smaller parts!

For a model that's been out since September 2004 they sure took their time!
