The Guildmasters

Hi all,
Not good news i’m afraid, i’ve just posted this on the forum but thought I better post it here too.

It has just been announced on one of our news channels that Sony and the playstation network were in fact hacked and 77 million users ID information could have been accessed, that means names, addresses, credit card numbers and so forth.

I’m more than a little pissed off about this because Sony apparently knew about this 7 days ago, their first priority should have been to notify their customers so that at least we could have had the chance to stop any security breaches on our cards. 7 days is too late to notify that many customers of a possible ID theft. They should have been responsible and notified their customer on day 1. By not doing that they have given the thieves 7 full days to get away with…well you only have to think about the possibilities. Now we have to cancel our bank card tomorrow assuming we haven’t been cleaned out.

As far as getting back online, it could be as long as another week or more.

Hi all,
Yes we now have a definite release date for White Knight Chronicles 2. For those that don’t know it’s going to be out 31st August 2011.

This is America release date for sure but it’s my guess it will be about the same time in Europe, give or take a week or two, Europe usually gets the same game within a short period of time so i’m really looking forward to that.

Recently due to the fact I haven’t been able to get online, i’ve got the platinum trophy for my Bioshock 2 which now brings my total to 7 Platinums.

I will try and get some more new releases posted over the next week or so but i’m pretty busy everywhere so i’m finding myself a bit tight on play time.

For anyone who needs help on WKC still i’ll be popping on once or twice a week, probably at weekends and i’ll be in my town to help anyone out that needs it.

I know I usually only discuss RPG’s here but this shooter is pretty unique. I don’t particularly like shooters unless they have something different that appeals to me, and this one appeals.

I have my son to thank for this one as I got it for him but got hooked myself, your a cop with a dog for a sidekick, his name is shadow and it’s probably one of the most realistic dogs i’ve seen in any game.

It’s a great fun game, not too long so you get bored and enough to keep your interest, the dog is great fun and I don’t really understand the negative reviews i’ve read on this game, it’s great.

It’s also a fairly easy game to platinum if your into trophies (like me), the hardest two being getting gold on every level and completing the game on detective (hard).

You do have a decent arsenal of weapons to choose from including a sniper rifle, some may be disappointed if they have played previous Dead to Rights games as I believe in earlier games you could use more melee weapons like baseball bats etc..

You do have an array of melee attacks with slow motion available if you need to use it, takedowns are great to watch, gives you a mini cut scene of Jack finishing the move and there are plenty of different ones to enjoy.

Most chapters (10 in all) have a section where you take control of the dog, then you have to switch back to Jack, this is one of the things that keep it interesting, it’s great playing as Jack but it’s also great fun playing as Shadow, you can either charge on in there to rip an enemies throat out or perform stealth kills which is more fun and more score too.

Even if you don’t generally like shooters you’ll probably enjoy this one, and even though it’s not a two player it’s an easy game to take turns with, which is what me and my son did.

The only downside to this game is the fact you can’t play two player, I don’t think it would have been that hard to make it into a two player game, one playing as Jack and one playing as Shadow. Also I was disappointed there was no online play, it could have been a lot of fun.

As far as buying this game, if your into a decent shooter game then yes i’d buy it (I did), if your not a real shooter fan but like a bit of fun now and then and a break from the norm, rent it at least.
