This month I have been playing a lot of Soul Calibur which dropped on July 29th.  This iteration is the best so far.  I am loving the character creation mode.  Going online is never boring as players around the world have all customized characters making it so you never play against the same foe twice.  Of course, there is a set amount of weapon styles, but at least they look very different.  This game is definitely one of my favorite fighters of all time.  I really love the street fighter series, but I respect Soul Calibur more for it’s deep combo system and overall control.  I will be playing this one for a while.


Also, this month Madden 09 came out.  It looks like this is finally the year to purchase Madden so if you have been waiting… wait no more.  All the modes you have grown to love are back in the game and the graphics have been revamped somewhat from last year’s release.  I don’t do football to much, but one of my best friend’s down in Florida feels better when he can actually beat me in a video game so why not.  I will not be letting him get easy victories though.  If you need a brush up on your Madden skills check out this link:Madden @ Gamespot.


Well, you know I’m still getting my Halo in here and there.  I will always love this shooter no matter what the critics say.  Usually it’s the ones that suck at this game whom give it shit.  Trust me, Halo has tons of strategy involved.  The really good players all know this or else everyone would be good.  I wish they would have made armor downloadable content though.  As long as they keep dropping new maps expect this one to me in my rotation every month.


Some games that I will be checking out on Live this month are Braid, and Bionic Commando.  I have already played the demo for Braid and can say this is a very innovative game.  I will more than likely end up purchasing it by next week.

If you have never played Geometry Wars do yourself a favor and grab this title off of Live.  It is highly addictive so watch out.  It is also not recommended for those prone to seizures due to bright lights and lots of movement on screen.  This game is definitely worth the bucks.
That’s all for now holla later!
