Day 224: COD Modern Warfare 3 Trailer - Nice creative & use of celebs (Video Games)

Saw this pretty cool & creative Call of Duty commercial last night during Sunday Night Football, and just wanted to share this with everybody. I liked how they used the "Vet vs n00b" concept as most ALL gamers can totally relate to this no matter what game they are playing.

They did really good job putting together celebs such as Sam Worthington & Jonah Hill and meshing them with the overall concept. Dwight Howard makes a quick yet laughable appearance in the end, which is kind of random but I guess every NBA player needs to do something to make that $ during this NBA lockout.

Overall, a very well-put together and funny COD ad. Man, this game's gonna be huge.. I don't even play video games anymore and I'm thinking about getting it.

Day 222: Grand Theft Auto V Trailer - New setting in Los Angeles aka "Los Santos"

I don't play video games much these days, but I might have to get this GTA game since the setting appears to be in LA!! Maybe they'll include other cities like San Francisco (Bay Area!) and make this just a California version of GTA. That would be awesome btw.

Based on the trailer, the gameplay looks like it's gonna be even crazier than the last one (more dynamic movement, cooler missions, nicer cars, a fighter jet?). Mad props to Rockstar Games for continuing to make each GTA out-do the last one.

Day 210: Michael Jordan promoting NBA 2K12 - CAN'T WAIT! (Video Games)

I don't play much video games these days anymore, but this is the one game I'll play until the end of time. #NBA2K #bballneverstops

This is a pretty fun/cool promo for you NBA/NBA2K fans as Michael Jordan is engaging the fans to submit videos of which team they think is the GREATEST of all time. The video game is scheduled to be released in the U.S. on October 4th. MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!

Day 198: GoldenEye Reloaded - If I was a gamer I'd get this (Game Trailer)

I remember the days when I used to be hooked on the original GoldenEye video game for N64. I would spend a lot of my early high school days playing that game at my homies house and having tournaments all day. Ahh how I miss those days; I used to be super OG at it too.. #CLASSIC

Anyways, this new GoldenEye Reloaded game looks really cool tho. I gotta say kids have it so good these days with technology advancing so quickly in the video game world. When video games first came to play in my childhood days, it was all about the original Nintendo (NES) and Super Mario man!

Nowadays, video games are way more complicated with all these different buttons & moves/gameplay. Why can't video games go back to being simple? #toomuchwork=P

Day 102: Street Fighter Ultra Combo in real life! + Cool fight scene (Videos)

- Video created by Thousand Pounds Action Company

For all you Street Fighter fans, here's a cool video showing what an Ultra Combo would look like in real life.

Being a fan of anime & video games, I think these guys did a very good job with this setting this up and creating video game-like shots. I really liked everything about it from the camera angles & the on-point sound effects/action to the nice moves & cool KO graphics. This looks better than some "video games converted to real life" fight scenes I've seen before..

Need to see more? Ok, I just found another cool fight scene they created. Check it out:



Pretty cool from a video game stand-point, right?

I really want to see what these guys can do with a cool cast of actors, a better background setting, and more budget for graphics. I nominate them to make the next "Street Fighter: The Movie".. or at least a trailer =P

Day 65: Need For Speed release party in LA (Video + Pics)

- A Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit commercial with Jerry Ferrara (aka Turtle) and Kevin Dillion (aka Johnny "Drama") from the HBO show Entourage

11/16 (Hollywood, CA): I went to go check out this release party for a new racing video game, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, and as expected there were a lot of exotic cars, gaming booths, chill people, open bars, and good music. There was even a performance by a small name hip-hop band called Chiddy Bang who had a nice overall performance, and "Chiddy" did a cool freestyle using random words the crowd threw at him. I must say, this d00d has some skills.

My friends and I also saw Jerry Ferrara & Kevin Dillon make a quick appearance, but they were off in their own section so I couldn't say to them "Hey, where's Vincent Chase at?!" Anyways, here are some pictures from the event:


- I want this car...


- this one too...


- and another one...


- actual police car in the video game


- He got a need for speed!


- Chiddy Bang live

I didn't get a chance to play the game because it was so crowded, but it looks pretty awesome. I'll have to go rent it and check it out for myself.

Day 52: What is Kobe doing in a "Call of Duty" commercial? SMH... (Video)

Kobe Bryant of the LA Lakers must have been super bored after winning the NBA Championship, and decided to play a lot of "Call of Duty" during the offseason to appear in a commercial for the video game. Granted this is probably the hottest first-person shooter game out there right now but c'mon Kobe, don't you have better things to do? Ohh look, I bet he plays online with Jimmy Kimmel too! (sarcastic voice) SMH Kobe... smh...

I must say though that this is a cool & funny commercial in general. Pretty creative and definitely good for the video game.

Day 19.5: NBA 2K11 Teaser with Rose, Lee, & Rondo (Video)

- Funny commercial with Derrick Rose, David Lee, and Rajon Rondo

NBA 2K is probably the best NBA video game to-date, so if you're a big NBA fan then this is a must-have every year.

NBA 2K11 will be coming out on October 5th for all platforms (ps2, ps3, psp, xbox, wii, pc), so I suggest you get a copy if you think you got what it takes to challenge me (ps3 version). New for this year's version, NBA 2K11 will feature the G.O.A.T. of the NBA, MICHAEL JORDAN!!
