The game is to be called Drakes Fortune and it will be something that has to do with Nathan Drakes ancestor, Francis Drake. It will be again about Nathan Drake and the producers of Uncharted say that the famous charactor Vicktor Sullivan will have a bigger role than in the last game.

The fire looks like it is next to you and I can not wait. There is a trailer as well. It shows Nate walking in the desert trying to find the Atlantis of the Sands. However, behind him is a plane that has crashed because of him. It is unclear how this happened, However, I guess we will have to wait for the game which comes out on November 1st 2011

Call of Duty Escalation Review

Call of Duty Map Pack Review
By Peter Allen

Early last week, the best selling video game shooter Call of Duty released its final map pack for Call of Duty Black Ops. This map pack called Escalation would have around four multiplayer maps and one zombie map. The zombie map, called Call of the Dead would be about the actors from the very first modern zombie movie, Night of the Living Dead. It would also have the director of the movie George Romero. Now, I know that this was getting a lot of mixed feelings. However, I liked this zombie map a lot. They did something different and it payed off. I was actually getting a bit bored of the old characters. I thought it was also a good idea to put a boss zombie in the map as well. George Romero is one tough guy to kill and an even tougher zombie. I also liked that there is now a weapon that can change zombies back to people. The only real complaint that I have here is that the map is just there. It has nothing really to do with the actual story line. They just put it in there to be funny.

Now, on to the multiplayer. I really liked the maps here. There are four maps. These are Zoo, Hotel, and two others that I can not remember. These are all fun. All these maps are really huge and it never seems that you can not move without getting shot in the head. They also now let you use the map as a way to help you kill. You can swing on ropes and go to high ground. SO, all in all this is a great map pack. The zombies add the funny while the maps add the competitive. There are just a few problems which is why I will give it a 9 out of 10.

Uncharted 2 Review

Uncharted 2 Review
By Peter Allen




When Uncharted 2 was announced in early 2009, I could not wait to get my hands on it. When I played the first Uncharted I fell in love with it. From the amazing storyline to the voice acting and shocking conclusion. It is basicly if you have a Ps3 u have this Uncharted if you do not have Uncharted then get it. And Uncharted 2 is even better.

It starts off with the protagonist, Nathan Drake bleeding and stuck on a train that is hanging off a cliff. You must then climb through the train and get off. As Nate is doing this, he has many flashbacks that show you how he got to that point. It turns out that he was on the search for Marco Polos journals in order to find the Chintimani Stone, an ancient artifact that is worth millions. What happens next is for you to find out yourself.

The graphics in this game are stunning. The character models are top notch and The backgrounds change dramasticly. For instance, one minute you will be in the jungle and the nect you will be in the mountians. A great comeback from the original since I got a bit bored of always being on an island.

All in all this is a great sequel. It really makes you feel like you are watching and are in a hollywood blockbuster which is very rare in games today. I loved every secound of it and I can not wait for Uncharted 3 Drakes Deception

Osama Dead

Today, on Monday, May 2, 2011 Us forces located and killed the terrorist Osama Bin Laden. Us forces found him in a cave in Akistan. Osama was of course the person incharge of the terrible tragedy on 911. He destroyed the twin towers in New York and damaged the Pentagon. The CIA and US forces decided that the tip they had got would be worth the try. The US government decided not to tell the Pakistan government, since they were scared that the word would get out and Osama could escape. He was killed in the early morning and the whole country is celebrating this happy day. There were rumors throughout the week about wether Osama really had been killed, or if he was stilll alive out in the world. However, these rumors were put to rest when the terrorist grup called Al Kida did confirm that their leader, Osama had been killed. Also, there was a picture confirming the death of the ruthless killer from President Obama. The president however did not make these pictures open to the public. The reasons for this were because the picture was very grusome, with a bit of Bin Laden's face missing. Also Obama believes that putting this picture out would indeed make it seem that we were laughing in Osamas face. However, across the seas the United Kingdom is uneased. They are warning the US that there could be a counter strike. The country is on red alert until everything calms down. However, one thing can be sure though. We know that Osama will never kill anyone or hurt anyone ever again.

Uncharted Review





Uncharted Review
By Peter Allen

When Uncharted first came out in 2007, I really wanted to try it out. It was made by the same company that made one of my favorite series, Jack and Daxter. However, I did not have a PS3 so I could not try it. However, I finally did get one and this was the first thing I got.

Uncharted is one of the most amazing games of the generation. It starts off with Nathan Drake, a treasure hunter, finding the coffin of his ancestor Francis Drake. He does not find a body, but instead he finds a journal leading right to an ancient treasure. The story is amazing. It hooks you the second it starts. There is amazing voice acting and great characters.

The graphics are some of the best I have ever seen. Even though this game came out four years ago, the graphics are as good as some games now. There is also a bit of all gaming. There is a duck and cover system for people who like to shoot people. There are also some amazing wall climbing and puzzles. They add such characters and make you care for them so much that you laugh at the stupidest of jokes. This is an amazing game and I will give it a 10 out of 10.

Paul Review


By Peter Allen On March 18, 2011 the movie Paul was released. Let me say that when Paul was first announced, I was a bit disappointed that it would not be the last of the Edgar Wright comedies. However, I was not going to let that disappointment ruin the day. I noticed that it did have Simon Pegg and Nick Frost from Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz (my two favorite films.) I also did a bit more research back in December and found out that the Actor Seth Rogan would be the voice of the alien, Paul. This got me really excited and made me want to see the movie immediately. Now for anyone who knows anything on science fiction, if you see this movie you will see some similarities from other nerdy films. This is exactly what the writers wanted. The writers (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) wanted this to be as they called it a love letter to Spielberg. Like their last two films, they wanted to show all the amazing science fiction movies from the past fifty years. The story is pretty much two British nerds go to Comic Con in the U.S. After the convention, they decide to go on a road trip to America’s top UFO hotspots. However, near area 51, they come into contact with Paul, an alien who had escaped Area 51 and who is voiced by Seth Rogan. Now, they must help Paul escape from the government and get him back home. Anyone who has seen the classic movie, ET will defiantly realize that these films are a lot alike. In fact, a lot of people call this movie ET for adults. I loved the story, throughout the movie, they have smart puns making fun of movies like Star Wars, Star Trek and other classic. In fact, there is one scene when they get into a bar fight and you should listen to the music in the background. I was actually pissing my pants from laughter. Also, the famous Kristin Wigg from SNL (Saturday Night Live) makes an appearance, and plays the overly religious nut. Grahm sort of fancies her and it is really funny to see this progress through the movie. There are also other actors, like Jason Bateman who plays the FBI agent and also, the famous Sigourney Weaver. These actors all play there roles perfect and get the lines out at just the right time. However, that does not mean that this movie has no problems with it. I have seen movies like Star Wars and Star Trek. So I did get a lot of the jokes. However, I think that there was a bit to much of making fun of other movies. I’m sorry for the pun but I think a lot of the jokes will alienate the audience. This movie never really does become its own film and I was a bit sad about that. There were a lots of laughs in this movie, but I think that they were expecting for the audience to have seen all of these films in the past. I wish that they had added there own humor in this film. However, I am glad that Simon Pegg and Nick Frost did add their own friendship in life into this movie. I did like this, because they are nerds in laugh. This is no lie, they go to Comic Con every year. However, at the beginning, they show a bit of a bromance and I wanted them to add to this through out the movie, but after Paul showed up, they sort of stopped this. I also hated the rating for this movie. I was so shocked when they announced that it would be rated R. It is just a lot of teenage humor that fourteen year olds love. And as I knew it would be, it was only rated R for the swear words. So Paul is not a horrible movie. It is far from it. It has some hilarious jokes and all the actors were awesome. Is it as good as Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz, no. It is not that smart as Hot Fuzz, and not enough action as Shaun of the Dead. But all in all, this is defiantly a movie for science geeks which is why I will give it 3 stars out of 4.

Looney Tunes Gone Wild











By Peter Allen and Austin Stiles

Everyone knows of the famous Looney Tunes. Almost everyone alive have grown up with Bugs, Daffy, Taz and all the others. However, it seems that the famous characters have had enough. They have all gone down hill after the show ended.
Willie Coyote has been trying and failing to get that Road Runner for as long as we can remember. Now, as we all know, he just ended up getting hit by a cannon or falling off a cliff. Well, it seems that the coyote wised up a bit. After his 2,985th failed attempt on getting dinner, he decided that he was done with ACME. He has sued the company for 100,000 dollars. The court meeting will take place next week.

And do not get me started on Daffy. Do you remember that episode when Bugs was drawing Daffy and Daffy became a walking flower? Well we got a personal interview with a producer of the show who said “On that episode, Daffy came to me with that idea. I liked the idea; however I thought he was hallucinating a bit.” Then, we found that recent reports had came in that Daffy was tested for drugs. We are not revealing the results at this time. However, I think we can all say WTF!!
And now that the show has ended, the fastest creature in Looney Tunes, Road Runner has gotten a deal with Nike. This thing will now promote new sneakers that will soon be available to the public. However, he has recently been accused of using 4 Lokos energy drink to make him have the speed he has had for so many years.

On other news, Tweety Bird has just announced that she is suing Twitter for stealing the idea of Tweeter. Tweety has since made claims that the head of Twitter has stolen her ideas at a meeting for the idea. Tweety, than claimed that after that conference that they never spoke again until the invention of twitter. Tweety is currently suing Twitter for 5 million dollars.

Marvin is next. Recently, a law was passed that all illegal aliens were to be deported to where they came from. To bad for Marvin though because he forgot his green card. He was deported to the moon immediately. Even though his name includes the word Martian. After being deported we flew up to the moon to ask him a few questions. After questioning with the Martian, we discovered that he is indeed not an actual alien. It was just a roll he played on the Loony Tunes. For now he is stuck alone on the moon. We plan to get food to him next year.
And everyone knows the infamous Taz. We received news that he was recently captured and studied on for makeup products. We went to speak to Taz, who was wearing lipstick and eye shadow. When we arrived, he was on a rampage and trying to escape. Many of our camera crew was killed and even more are on their death bed in the hospital.

Matt Damon Movie Hereafter Canceled in Japan


By Peter Allen

Everyone is devastated by the giant earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The damage is amazing. Many people are missing and thousands are dead. Japan is still getting hit with mini tsunamis and aftershocks reaching 6.0! Even the movie industries are affected. Apparently, when Japan gets hit with a giant wave, they do not want to watch a movie about a tsunami. The new movie with Matt Damon was canceled in Japan. Not because it was bad. It was actually very good. The acting was strong and it was a good story. It was because it was about a tsunami. The Japanese are done with big waves. They do not want to watch this movie. No one came to see it. The producers and actors both agreed after this tragedy that they will not show this movie at all in Japan. Thank god people actually have feelings.

Assasins Creed Brotherhood DLC Review



By Peter Allen



On March 8, 2011, Ubisoft released a new dlc for assassin’s creed called the davinci disappearance. In this extra content, there is more story mode, there are also 4 more multiplayer characters there are 2 more game types and a new map. In the last dlc, for the second game, there was one hour of game play let me say boring. But in this there is so much to do.
First is the single player. As you can guess, this is a about Leonardo Davinci. He gets kidnapped and it is up to you to save him. This single player has about four hours of gameplay. It is so fun to try not to get caught and kill guards from rooftops.
The multiplayer is amazing. It was already good but now it is amazing. There are four new characters including a fat knight. And now they kill in all new ways. My favorite is now one guy has a gun. It is so fun to shoot someone in the head. Also, if you did not pre order the game and get the court jester, you can now get it. There is also some new plat forming sequences as well. This is a true dlc.

Assassin's Creed Multiplayer Review



Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Multiplayer Review

By Peter Allen












Assassins Creed is Ubisofts greatest series. First released in 2005, Assassins Creed had mixed reactions. Then, in 2009, they released AC2 which was a complete hit. Now, ACB has come out with an odd option… Multiplayer.
When I first heard that Assassins Creed Brotherhood would have multiplayer, I thought it was very stupid. I mean there is not really much you can do. But boy was I wrong. When I got the game the multiplayer was full of all players. I first tried out the prowler, as he was the one I was most interested in. I was so stunned with all the ways I could kill people. It was nothing like Call of Duty in which you kill people the same way all the time. However, what I really enjoyed was that just because you got the most kills, would not mean that you won. Since it is an assassin’s game, it is on how you kill them. For example, if you just ran up and had to chase your target to kill him, you would get 100 points. However, if you kill them silently, like from a hay stake or from jumping down from a roof, you could get up to 800 points!! Right now, there are two game types. Wanted, where you are assigned a target to kill, while someone else is assigned to kill you. There is also Manhunt, where there are two sides, while for half the game, one side must escape the other and the other side tries to kill the,. Then, it switches. It is so fun to kill your friend and to escape from up to 4 people at once. There are a lot of characters to. Like the doctor, executioner, courtesan and blacksmith. And the company will add more as time goes on. This could keep a man satisfied for hours.

Hot Fuzz Review



Simon Pegg and Nick Frost were the best actors from Shaun of the Dead, and now they are back for another action thrilling and funny comedy called Hot Fuzz.

Hot Fuzz is pretty much like its predecessor. Except this is a movie is about the best cop in London who is sent to the country in a village that has no crime. They do this because if he stays in London, everyone else will be put out of the job. However, when he gets there, he soon realizes everything is not as it seems. Almost every day there is a terrible accident and no one really seems that freaked. Apparrently things like this happen all the time. So, the cop, Nicholas Angle ( Simon Pegg) team up with his new partner, Danny( Nick Frost) to find out what is going on.
This is such a good movie. It is as good as Shaun of the Dead, if not better. The story takes a twist at the end and this will leave your mouth open. Like Shaun of the Dead this is a must see.

Shaun of the Dead Review




Shaun of the Dead Review
By Peter Allen

Shaun of the Dead is about a dead beat guy named Shaun who lives in an apartment with his best friend, Ed and his other friend, Pete. His relationship, with his girlfriend, Liz is on thin ice. He never wants to do anything but drink at a pub. However, when a zombie apocalypse occurs and everyone they know becomes brain loving zombies, including Pete, it is up to Shaun and Ed to save Shaun’s family and Liz and get them to a safe place.

This is the best horror love story ever. It pretty much makes fun of every zombie movie ever. There is a scene at the beginning where they do a rap song with a zombie when they are drunk. This is absolutely hilarious. I could not stop laughing. However let me say this is a very disturbing movie. The guts and gore make it just more enjoyable. And let me say Shaun is a crap shot with a rifle. This is a movie defiantly worth checking out.

Assassins Creed Brotherhood Review






Assassins Creed Brotherhood Review
By Peter Allen


Ubisoft has made many famous games over the years. They’re the fathers of the famous series Prince of Persia. However, now, there best series by far is Assassins Creed. Brotherhood is the third installment of the famous series and Ubisoft has promised they fixed a lot. However, considering it was released a little over than a year after AC2, how much could have they added?
Brotherhood starts right after AC2 ended. At the exact second in fact. We follow Ezio Auditore Da Firenze as he had just defeated his arch enemy Rodrigo Borgia, also called the Pope. He leaves Rome to go back to his Uncle Mario in Monterrigoni. He thinks his battles are done when the next morning, the Borgia army come and kill Uncle Mario and destroy the villa. Ezio finds out that Rodrigo’s son, Chesare Borgia. He travels to Rome to free it and kill the Borgia.
The story line was really good. I never found myself bored of the game and there was always something going on. Like in the previous game, it ends like WTF and made me want to play the next one immediately.
I think that they perfected the controls. In the second one, I found myself waiting for the soldiers to attack so that I can counter and kill them. Now, you bounce to each enemy if you time it right. So, you could kill ten soldiers in five seconds if you time it right.
The enjoyment is that this game is so fun. After the first three sequences, you an take as long or as short to finish the game. There are so many side missions like assassination contracts to sending your own recruits across Europe so they can come full assassins as well. The game can be up to fourteen to thirty hours of gameplay. I finished the story a week ago and I am still trying to do all of the stuff. I would recommend this to anyone in a heartbeat.
