3rd Party FansProject Helps Out Japan Relief by offering a Blesser



Transformers 3rd Party Company Fansproject wanted to help the victims of Japan by offering a bit of an incentive when donating. In light of the situation Fansproject setup a donation program for people to donate to Red Cross around the world in support of the Japan disaster relief efforts. So Fansproject is making 1500pcs of “Blesser” ( inverted color “TFX-05 Sidearm” ) for people who donating a minimum of $15.00USD to Red Cross “Japan Earthquake and Tsunami 2011”. well i did and was lucky to get one. the Project was a huge success and total donations was $20,000 dollars.


Basically it is the same TFX-05 Figure Sidearm figure that worked together with the Parallax Protector set, just op piste colors. The figure is a microcon that turns into a gun for your Rodimus Prime Figure which very cool since now i can get Rodimus Prime to Duel wield Sidearm and Blesser.




Blesser also came with its own card. Very nice artwork of the Blesser Character helping the relief effort. Whats great about this is that in the Back of the Card. the human partner that goes with the Blesser figure has the Donators name on it which i think makes this figure more awesome.

The Long awaited Portal 2


Portal came out back in 2007 it was a release as part of Valve's Orange Box. The Orange Box was one of the greatest deals for $60 dollars. It was bundled with half-life 2,episode 2, and Team fortress. Now fast forward 4 years and we now have Portal 2. The game takes place a couple of years where the first left off. You again take the role of the Asian woman you played as in the first game.

Valve has incorporated a lot of new content into this game so instead of being just a add on to a bunch of other games it can now stand on its own. Some of this new content for example is the co-op you can now play with another play on the same console or on live to get thorough the rigorous tests that Apeture has in store.

I will say that the game has it's draw backs not many but they are still there. One of them is no leaderboard support without this there is no competition there is no drive to play and play to beat your friends scores. After that I am really happy with this game and I will say that it is a great addition to anyone's collection or if you dont have time it is a great rent..

A Small update..

I know there hasnt been an update in about a month and I apologize about that. I have just been really busy with school and other things that I havent been able to post anything. I will though give a small review of 2 games that came out in March.



The first is Homefront this is the newest title out from THQ and I have to say that it is a great game. The campaign is alittle on the short side but I will say that like most games like this it is about the multiplayer. You will have lots of fun playing the multiplayer if you need a change of pace from black ops. It is your standard multiplayer choices from team death match to games like capture the flag. The graphics in the game are pretty good it isnt the best but it is up to par with games like Medal of Honor and Call of Duty. I will say that this though is a rent and not a buy. Unless you are looking to play the multiplayer for hours on hours..



The next game is Crysis 2 is the sequel to the 2008 hit crysis. Crysis 2 is an amazing game the campaign is longer then many FPS campaigns and the multiplayer again like the first is great. You can take alot from playing Crysis 2 but the most important to take from this is that this is proof that games like this can be played on the console.. The graphics and audio are beautifully done they immerse you in the game and you can end up playing for hours. Hands down I can easily say that this is a buy even if you havent played the first game this is a great way to introduce yourself to the series and there are plenty of parts in the game that will fill you in on the first..

I know that this is a small very small update. I assure you though stay tuned for my review on Portal 2 due later this month.

Until Next time geeks..

Pokemon Black & White.


And it is that time of the year again. During the year there are many games that come out some good some bad. The only games that i can think of that never get a bad name much like the Halo series is Pokemon. Pokemon Black & White are the newest names to the franchise in this version of the game there are 150 new pokemon and even a new region to explore.

The game starts out much like any pokemon game where you choose your sex,name and eventually your pokemon. I will say that the game has great graphics and it is a larger step forward compared to older generation pokemon games. There are a lot of new features and all the detailed space that you see is now in 3d and it gives a greater depth to the game. Some of the new features that are put into this game include but are not limited to 3 on 3 battling, roundhouse battling(which means everyone takes a turn instead of having to fight everyone all at once.) Another great feature is the ability to select up to 3 pokemon to offer up for trade.

Pokemon Black & White are a great addition to the Pokemon franchise. They are a great addition to anyone current or outdated Pokemon collection. Also if you currently dont have a ds to play the game is also sold in a bundle that includes the game and a colored ds depending on what version of the game you want to play.

All in all I would recommend this game to everyone it is a great title and it is fun for all ages. So if you are in the mood to see a new generation of pokemon I suggest you get your hands on this game because in the long run you really have gotta catch them all.

Until Next Time Geeks..

Dead Space 2 Review.

EA and Visceral games released Dead Space in Oct. 2008. It was an amazing survival horror game that could stand up to such greats as Resident Evil and Silent Hill. Everyone loved it, it had all the things you could enjoy and when you were done playing it left you wondering if stuff was going to pop out in your home.

Almost 3 years later EA and Visceral games are at it again with the release of Dead Space 2. The game takes place 3 years after the first. Issac Clarke yet again has to deal with the necromorphs and instead of being on a simple mining ship you are on the Sprawl. This time not only do you have to deal with the necromorphs you have to deal with Issac's spiral into dementia. Also new to the sequel is the Multiplayer modes where 2 teams play as ether the necromorphs or humans. It is a great addition to the game. It is fun and very scary unless you are playing on the necro side. It will bring hours of gameplay to an already awesome game.

From what I have played the game is amazing. The lighting much like the first gives that amazing atmosphere that makes you worried about leaving your room in the middle of the night.
The game comes in 2 versions the collectors and and regular. The collectors edition comes with a not to scale replica Plasma Cutter along with the soundtrack and armor and a weapon for you to get in the game. Also if you have a save game from the first game on your console you get the original plasma cutter. There is no difference between the one you get in part 2 and the old one.

If you are a fan of Dead Space I will say get Dead Space 2 it is a great addition to anyones collection. I will say though dont get the collectors edition because you might be disappointed in some of the extras you get.

Also Stay tuned everyone Feb 15th,Feb 22nd,March 8th and March 27th are just around the corner. Watch for reviews of Marvel vs Capcom 3,Bulletstorm,Pokemon Black and White,and the New Nintendo 3ds.

Until Nextime Geeks.
