Sucker Punch..., the Gears of War 3 Beta, and Battlefield 3!

Soo... I just got back from seeing Sucker Punch. I was extremely... disappointed. Now don't get me wrong all of the actresses were attractive and the "Dream" sequences were awesome, but it was just everything in between that got me. the rest of the movie was too slow and left me wondering if I could get my $8.50 back. I will say though, visually it was great. In my opinion you should probably wait for it to come out on Netflix. On the other hand though the action scenes won't quite be as epic outside of the theater. Ok so on to the Gears 3 Beta. As I've said in previous posts I am a big Gears of War fanboy so I'm expecting alot from Gears 3. And from what I've seen so far it could be the best one yet. Especially with the addition of the new "Beast mode" in which you get to play as the locust. A sort of backasswards version of horde mode. Would be kinda cool if they worked some kind of verses aspect into it as well. Gears 3 is going to host alot of extra goodies including new executions, weapons, and now even weapon skins. But the thing I'm most excited for is the addition of dedicated servers. That's right, if it works it means no more host advantage! As for me I'll believe it when I see it. Not that I don't trust Epic it's just that I don't want to have my hopes crushed and melted down into a big F***ING HOST BULLS***!!!! Ehem anyways moving on so who has seen the new Battlefield 3 footage!?! F-ING AWESOME!!! Practically looks like you are looking through a soldier's helmet cam. I just hope it translates well to console..., if not I may have to fix and rebuild my gaming PC. As you hopefully know EA should be releasing the beta for the game sometime soon so that we all get to test the game out and crash the EA servers... again. Anyways it looks amazing and you should definitely check it out along with some shenanigans straight from myself and the other Gamers at Mahalo.

 

I posted this a while back, but I'm bringing it up again because it's badass.

ONE MORE WEEK! and a day...

So wats up everbody over there in internet land? So It is Sunday the 10th and I am eagerly looking forward to the launch of the Gears of War 3 Beta. For anybody that doesn't know the Gears of War 3 beta drops the 18th of April for all of those who picked up the awesome but short lived Bulletstorm for the 360. The rest of the world (If you Pre-ordered it) have to wait until the 24th to check it out. I will be covering the beta as I am the only one at Mahalo Videogames to have followed the series from day 1... I think. Well anyways if you haven't checked out the footage of the beta I highly recommend that you do. As for this past week I have been working on some more Final Fantasy Dissidia. Blah. Heres some more footage of that as well as some great stuff coming from our other team members.

Have a good week guys!

 

Final Fantasy Dissidia Duo-something

Hey guys hows it going? So I started the New Final Fantasy game for the PSP last week and I must say... I'm severely disappointed. You know how Final Fantasy has built up the amazing reputation as a series with grand stories that capture you and make you want to play it out to the end? Well this is not one of those games. It's a cheap game with a similar title. Now with some games the gameplay can make up for a shoddy story, but again Dissidia falls short. Now I didn't want this post to turn into a review... but you can probably already guess my recommendation for this game. The ONLY redeeming factor is that you can play as a few of your favorite characters from the well made Final Fantasy's you remember. Anyways watch my walkthroughs and let me know what you think. And please tell me if you think that the story sounds like it came from a 4 year old.

 

 

 

 

Also make sure to check out a few great reviews and hilarious specialty videos from some of our teams best and brightest.

 

 

 

 

 

Alright guys thats it for this week. Make sure to check back next week for more awesome videos.

Saint Patties Day with some Pixel Junk

Hey guys so another excellent week at Mahalo finished, only this week there was green beer! How was everyone's St Patties day? And how many of you are still hung over? My day started off with no green or alcohol actually, because I completely forgot about it. Well anyways I made a switch to the PS3 for this weeks game Pixel Junk Shooter 2. I must say it's really fun and challenging for what it cost. It's available on the PSN for about 7 bucks so if I were you I would definitely check it out.

 

 

 

 

Also make sure to check out this awesome review of Fight Night Champion.

Battle LA!!!!! And some videogames.

Yo guys whats up? Soo I just got back from seeing "Battle: Los Angeles" IT WAS AWESOME! It literally took place about a block from my work. They were naming off cross streets and I was like WTF I drive past that street everyday on my way into Mahalo. Crazy stuff. Well anyways I highly recommend the movie so if you have the chance, get off of your computer and hit the theater because this movie is much more epic on the big screen. And yes, I know it costs money but believe me this movie will not be as good from your crappy torrent site. Alright well this week I was working on finishing up my walkthrough of Bulletstorm on Very Hard. So check it out!

Gears of War 3 Beta.... why must we wait until April...

Ok, soo how many of you out there in internet land went out to get Bulletstorm fully expecting to play the Gears 3 beta right away? Because I know I did. Now heres the thing, Bulletstorm was a great game don't get me wrong, but it was way way WAY too short. I was at least hoping it would last until the beta was out. I just beat the game on Very Hard (The walkthrough will be posted below) and I'm now the highest possible level in the Multiplayer 65. (Walkthrough of some of the levels and how to level up fast will be posted below) Now if you read some of my earlier posts you know how excited I was for this game, but again don't get me wrong I'm still drooling for the sequel. I guess it was just the lack of competitive multiplayer that left something to be desired from this game. Well anyways check out my walkthrough of the Very Hard difficulty and of the Co-op Multiplayer where my friend Lasercorn and I show you how to rack up the high point skillshots.

Hey guys. So yeah finally got to play some Bulletstorm this past week and I am loving it. If you loved to demo the you absolutely need to pick this game up, because the Co-op multiplayer is where it's at. With an insane amount of single player skillshots just imagine how many more you can come up with with a teammate. Well my friend David (AKA LaserCorn) and I jumped on some of the Co-op and owned some of the levels. Check it out!

Wassup everybody? Hows your week been? Alright so this week I was working on some good old Modern Warfare 2 Special Ops with the COD destroyer Dante. I had forgotten how fun special ops was! So anyways it reminded me of the idea of the first live action mahalo COD shoot we were thinking of doing. Any thoughts? Good idea, bad idea? Anyways check out some of our Co-op pwnage and leave some feedback in the comments.

Bulletstorm the "Worst" Game ever?

Ok so Fox News (Aka Faux News) Published a story about how Bulletstorm will corrupt our youth and make all children into serial killers, with its graphic themes and intense violence. Well first AWESOME! and second these are the same people that called Mass Effect a sex simulator. Wait what? I don't know about you, but whenever Fox news goes on a rant about something its usually so backasswards that I seriously have to contemplate if they have anyone with an IQ above Forest Gump's working there. Stupid is as stupid does. Well anyways lets let them go back to hunting polar bears and spying on Russia from Alaska. So Bulletstorm, not only is it enough of a kick ass game by itself but buying it also lets you into the Gears of War 3 Beta. So it went from absolutely amazing to an orgasm of awesomeness in a split second. Bulletstorm hits shelves February 22nd I highly suggest you check it out. Also the guys over at epic put out some hilarious spoof content making fun of Halo and Call of Duty.

 

Check out one of my first runs through the Demo.

The video from our host Ms. Andrea Rene talking about the Bulletstorm Fiasco.

The Call of Duty Parody.

The Halo Parody.

 

The Bulletstorm POOR MAN REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Alright guys that about wraps it up, but make sure to stay tuned as I bring you the latest and greatest Bulletstorm news and walkthroughs.

First Strike, Paintball, The Superbowl, and... Wendy's?

Wassup boys and girls? How was your superbowl weekend? Apparently the superbowl is over because I hear no more random shouting from my neighbors. Yeah that's right I didn't watch... at all. Now some of you are probably outraged, ...but I don't care. Football is boring as hell. So there it is. Anyways so yeah this past week I got to test out the new First Strike map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops. I must say I was really impressed with all of the maps especially the new zombie map Ascension. If you haven't checked it out yet I highly recommend it, or if you are a PS3 person make sure to check out our youtube videos. Sucks for you! Sorry that was mean. But seriously check out our videos, a few of the gamers including myself upload a three person perspective of our first attempt on Ascension.

 

I was also working on the new multiplayer maps check out my first attempt at the new map Stadium.

 

 

Ok... so you are probably wondering about the paintball and Wendy's. So let me explain. So in my past posts I talked about Greg Hasting's Paintball 2. And undoubtedly you are probably think why in hell are you playing this game? Well as a former addicted paintball player I can tell you that anything paintball still gets me wanting to head out to the nearest field and mop up some scrubs. So I decided to check it out. While the games graphical, screen lag (Only when the paint is out of control), and minor detection are annoying I still had fun playing this game. While playing you will notice that the bots you play with and against have the IQ of Forest Gump in the womb and that can be frustrating at times with certain gametypes have 20 second respawns. But anyways this game made me decide to organize a Mahalo paintball trip. It was this weekend. Out of the entire company that was invited, 2 showed up (Including yours truly) but it was still a blast. And I found myself wondering why I stopped playing. Paintball was/is the only exercise that I don't get lazy about. After all what get you more motivated to run than people shooting at you. But I definitely could have fallen back into my 2 or 3 times a week paintball habits as I found myself craving Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich after my day of hard play. Back when I used to practice and play regularly I always used to stop by Wendy's on the way home. Anyways check out Greg Hasting's 2 and if you've got the time (And $100) to burn check out your local paintball field, you might just find yourself as addicted as I was.

 

 

Also make sure to check out some awesome videos from the other kids playing games deep within mom's basement (AKA Mahalo Videogames Department).
