The B.P.H.P.

Hey guys, Happy Halloween! To celebrate, I wanted to share my scariest moments Ive had with games. Here they are!






#5-Running away from the Bear in Condemned 2: Bloodshot- Man this was scary! I was just walking into the cabin in the game, and out of nowhere, I started to hear growls or something, then Bam! You're running away from a Bear. It was pretty awesome and scary at the same time.




#4-First Encounter with the Tank in Left 4 Dead-When this game came, I played it with my friends alot, and I remember hearing the little tune that plays when the Tank runs after you. After a few seconds of us looking around, we discovered a Car being hurled at us by the Huge Creature. I think knocked me down and began beating me until I died, but I fought back shooting my little pistols as fast as I could!




#3-Exploring Ravenholm in Half-Life 2-There's a reason people don't go there: It's freakin creepy! But Gordon Freeman has no choice when he becomes blocked off from Alyx in the game. You and your trusty Gravity gun must venture alone in the town until Father Grigori lends a helping hand.




#2-The Start of Resident Evil 2-I was about 10 or 11 at time. I remember frantically shooting all the zombies in the begging, and having to really scavenge for ammo. The Graphics at the time were pretty good, and made me fear looking outside my window at night.




#1-Every Silent Hill game- My favorite Horror game has enough creepy moments to keep you up at night. Specicially in Silent Hill 2, where I would stop playing the game after 10 p.m.

So that's my list, Happy Halloween Guys!

Those in the Preview program can check out a sneek peek at Halo Waypoint that launched today. I was surprised when I downloaded it to see avatar awards waiting for me. Once you obtain the right achievemnts for Halo 3: ODST, a slew of unlockables can be yours including An ODST outfit, Helmet, and the Recon Helmet worn by Dare in the game.

Once launched, Waypoint will scan your Halo Achievements and sign you a ranking which can increase by gaining more Achievements.

Halo Waypoint officially Launches next Thursday. Check out my outfit below to see the ODST armor!

It's Uncharted's time for some Double XP or Double Cash.

As promised, Twisted Pixel has become the first Game to include avatar awards, as the shirts are now live to download. This is how you unlock the items:

1st Item- Break some glass in the game

2nd item- Beat The Co-op Campaign

If you have already done this, you can simply download the items. Also in avatar award news, Left 4 Dead 2 will include quite a few items to unlock as well including shirt and avatar props, so it looks like more games will start to add this feature!

Starting today, you can play some zombie variants for Halo 3's Double XP weekend. The Various gametypes include Save One Bullet,Creeping Death,Creeping Rockets,Braaaaains, and Speed Demons. The Playlist will require you to have Halo 3 Mythic Disc included with ODST.

It's finally here! Rockstar seems to be going all out with their last announced Episode of GTA IV with the Ballad of Gay Tony. So far I have played a few missions as Luis and played around with some of the new features the episode brings. The Cheats are pretty awesome in this game as well, with one spawning the new weapons, and a few that enhance Luis' abilities.

After completing missions you get a percentage that rates your time and allows you to replay the mission if you chose to try and improve your percentage.

I haven't played around in the multiplayer yet, but it looks like a ton of fun so I'll try that out soon. I hope to have a review sometime next week after I finish one for Borderlands.

One More Day! The Last Downloadable Episode for Grand Theft Auto will release tomorrow, and you will be able to obtain The Ballad of Gay on Xbox Live for 1600 points ($20.00), or on a retail disc along with The Lost & Damned for $40.

"The Ballad of Gay Tony: The Ballad of Gay Tony injects Liberty City with an overdose of guns, glitz, and grime. As Luis Lopez, part-time hoodlum and full-time assistant to legendary nightclub impresario Tony Prince (aka "Gay Tony"), players struggle with the competing loyalties of family and friends, and with the uncertainty about who is real and who is fake in a world in which everyone has a price."




Enjoy These New Screens until tomorrow's release of the game!

Usually I don't post too much about the Games on Demand, but here is a good one to check out. In the U.S, you can download Dead Space for $20, which is a nice deal for a awesome game that goes well with Halloween this Weekend. It's pretty action packed and a little scary, especially when you crank up the sound. So if you have the space and points, this is a Games on Demand Game that is worth checking out!
























"When an immense mining ship, the USG Ishimura, comes into contact with a mysterious alien artifact in a remote star system, its communications with Earth are mysteriously cut off. Engineer Isaac Clarke is sent to repair the Ishimura's communications array, but he arrives to find a living nightmare-the ship is a floating bloodbath, the crew unspeakably mutilated and infected by an ancient alien scourge. Clarke's repair mission becomes one of survival as he fights not just to save himself, but to return the artifact to the planet ... at any cost."

Another week, another top 10 thanks to Major Nelson! This week show that not too much has changed for the top Xbox 360 games, but it's nice to see Borderlands on the list! I just beat the game at level 35, and have two achievements left to get, so look out for a review on that this week.

Also I'm wondering how GTA IV will be next week since the Ballad of Gay Tony comes out Thursday. Will Episodes from Liberty City make the list as well? I'm wondering about that too since it may be called GTA IV when you play it, but not totally sure. Trials HD is once again the most purchased XBLA game, and reminds me that I need to get back into the game, but only to remind myslef that it is starting to get pretty freakin hard! How will the list change next week? Comeback and find out!
