Buy or Sell Round 2

Yeah,I know. I play my trumpcard again. I didn't find any good Tech news and I bought some games the couple of weeks so I thought let's make a verdict ;) Is it a buy or a sell?

Bulletstorm: after my terrible adventure with DBZ: Ultimate tenkaichi, I got Bulletstorm. Didn't play it much but I must say it's pretty good. Great enviroment and really dry humor. It is a shooter with a little twisdt in it. You can score point for more brutal, funny or creative kills. This game is most singleplayer because nobody plays the multiplayer. So if you want a decent game, this worth checking out ;)
Verdict: BUY

Dragonball Z Raging Blast 2: For the one's who read Inside the Gamer, they know that I orderd this game after a weird conversation with the vendor. There is one thing I can say about this game: NICE!!!! It is 10x better than Ultimate tenkaichi: It looks better, the same feeling as the PS2 games and more different characters. The only downside is that there isn't a storymode to unlock characters but it is called Galaxymode were you can play separated battle with no story. It isn't that bad for the hardcore fans who know the story, but for the newcomers isn't it a game to begin with.
Verdict: For hardcore fans:BUY, Newcomers: Sell

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron: I played the demo the previous time but this is the real game. I played it for a couple of hours and I must say they did a great job. I can't say much about it because I will make a review from this game, so no spoilers :p But I can say if you are fan of transformers then you must have it in you collection.
Verdict(fans): BUY

AlphaGameBet: The "G" for Guild wars 2

Hello everyone, this game sounds familiar. I Talked about it in Gamelight a week ago. Then it was the Big WoW-Killer but in my eyes it i just a good MMORPG ;)

So some general information about the game. This is an MMORPG made by Areanet and it is the qequel of the one of the most famous games Guild Wars. This game is only for pc so you're PC/Laptop need some requirements. These are the minimum requirements to play Guild Wars 2: Windows XP SP2, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz/ Corei3 / AMD Athlon 64 X2, 2GB RAM,  NVIDIA GeForce 7800/ATI X1800/ Intel HD 3000( 256 MB vRAM and Shader Model 3.0) and last but the most important thing, if you don't have this you can forget to play it :O , an internet connection, keyboard and mouse :p

Like every game there is a story behind it. This story happens 250 years after The great Destroyer( the end boss in the last expension of Guild Wars) is destroyed( what an irony :p ). After these years ancient dragons awoke from a deep sleep and made some big chaos in Tyria. The humans aren't the dominating race anymore, other races has come, got bigger or were tottaly destroyed. Even the technology has evolved greatly.

What is special about this game, the whole new twist of MMORPG. It begins al standard: you choose a Race and Class but that is just the begining. After that,you choose you're own story!!  When that is all done, you can do the quest and fight fort you're right. The quest aren't as normal, they pop up randomly and if you don't certain quest it has it influance on your evironement. Combat is also another thing. Per weapon you get, it has different abilities. For example for a warrior there are different abilities for an one-handed weapon then for an two-handed weapon. The races are enlighted in my Gamelight but what arev all the classes. The classes are: Guardian,Warrior, Elementalist, Ranger, Necromancer, Thief, Engineer and Mesmer.

This is all the news about Guild wars 2, the game is released the 28th of August 2012.

Gamelight: World of Warcraft: Mist of Pandaria

Hello everyone, in the weekend 17-19th of August was Gamescon. I call it The European version of the E3. In Gamescon, there were a lot of games one of them was World of Warcraft: Mist of Pandaria.

Everyone knows that World of Warcraft is the best MMORPG in the world because of it's big community. There was a time that every MMORPG tried to knock out WoW of it's first place. These games were mostly not bad, but not as good as WoW. Nowadays the MMORPGs just make there own game without emulating WoW.

There wasn't much news about WoW but the new cinematic trailer was released. I love the trailer,it has everything. Great graphics, some combat and a little bit of fun. The other cinematics were mostly serious but this one was with some humor.

What is know about the new expension is a new race called Pandaren and a new class called Monk( so kung-fu master). The first reaction is yeah "kungfu panda" but that isn't true. the Pandaren were way ahead of the movie. There first apearence was a little bit in Warcraft II and more infomartion was in Warcraft III. What there story is, I don't know that yet.

If you want to see the new trailer, check out the link below ;)

Jacks Techs: Ouya

Jack do you really put a shoot in the Jacks Tech post? And it is seriously Ouya? I can tell you this, it isn't a shoot , it a new upcoming video game console !!!!!

What another game console :O Yeah it is incredible and it isn't some crap if you were thinking that. The Ouya ( I really hope they will change the name) is a video game console that is built on open-source software running on the Android mobile operating system. it is still in developing.

This project was announced on July 3rd 2012. It started as a Kickstarter campaign to gauge how many people where interested and that were many people. From this campaign, Ouya got more 8 million dollar!!! This wasn't everything. Even some developpers and directors like Square Enix and Rober Bowling were interested in the Ouya and wanted to make some games for this new video game console.

That was the story so far about the Ouya but what is the hardware like? These are the specifications: Nvidia tegra 3(T33) SoC, Quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU, Nvidia ULP GeForce GPU, 1GB RAM, 8GB of internal Flash storage,HDMI connection to the TV(1080 HD), Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth LE 4.0, Ethernet port, One USB 2.0, Android 4.0 "Ice cream Sandwich" ( dafuq xD) and last but not least some Wireless controller with 2 analog stick, a d-pad, eight action buttons, a system button and a touchpad.

That was Jacks Tech for this week. I hope you are as excited as I am about this new console.

AlphaGameBet: The "F" for the Fifa Series

The first sportgame in this blog and it is directly the most famous sport: soccer. And the best soccer and most famous soccergame is Fifa.

Fifa is a game every gamer has played or came in contact with. The creators of Fifa is EA under the label EA sports. It all began in 1994 and the first Fifa was born. The name wasn't Fifa 1994 of Fifa '94 it was a whole other name, it was then called as Fifa internation soccer ( yeah I know it came close to it :p)

that was the begining of a big succes. In 2013 they mad 21 Fifa soccer games and 4 Fifa streets. there isn't much special about it. the graphics and controllers are very good and up to date. Every year EA makes another Fifa just to be up to date ( the transfers and stuff). Does it take for ever like that for example  Fifa 2055? Or will there be a game just called Fifa that updates itself? that isn't known but we can dream ;)

That was the AlphaGamebet for this week. I hope you liked it and for the soccer fans, go get some goals.

Gamelight: Dishonored

Hello guys, this week a game I didn't talk about. Not because it's bad but the big games come first and then the less famous games. This week in the light is the game called Dishonored.

This game comes from Arkane studios and it is a first-person shooter. Not the normal shoot as Call of Duty or Battlefield, it is more like Bioshock. the setting and the charracters are totally different but you play as Bioshock with 1 gun/sword and 1 hand with your superpowers. Yeah play as an hitman with superpowers.

There are some things known about the game like what kind of superpowers do you have and how you can play the game. Each different aprouch in the game has another end. The makers of Dishonored made a video about how you can the enemy and I must say it is pretty sweet. Some thinkwork may come in handy. Check the link below for the awesome killing work.

The game will be released the 12th October 2012.

Inside the Gamer week 6

This week wasn't a big one, nothing interesting happens but as you have already read I made a big decision. I'm going to the fitness three times a week, later it can be more. If you want to read more about it check my post "a Good gamer is a healty gamer" ;)

In "buy and sell" I told you about the DBZ game. No I sold it this week and something weird happend. When I sold it, the vendor apologized about selling me that game :O To apologize he ordered a good version of the DBZ serie. It is called Dragonball Z raging blast 2, so if you are fan go and but it ;)

So it isn't a big week.Why isn't this week so interesting? I'm studying for my resists -_- . Not much fun about that. And of course this week the sun started to shine and the good weather is coming. Nothing bad about that but I didn't want it in my resits.


Sorry that this week was nothing special, but I think it won't get any better. 1000 times sorry :(

Funzies: Batman loves movies too ;)

Previous week, you saw that batman loves games but did you know he also loves movies? Yeah and he like to watch movies of himself. If that is a good or bad thing, that is what you see in the next video.

It isn't with real life people but it is still a lot of fun to watch it.

Buy or Sell! Round 1

Huh? What is happening :O? No Jacks Tech anymore? Na that is not it, there weren't any new techs this week so I didn't want to give you guys nothing this week. So I came up with a new idea: Buy or Sell. In this topic, I let you guys know wich games I bought and give you my opinion on it. I played the games for a time so it is a little bit fair. If I say buy: it is a good game, if I say sell: it is a bad game. This is just my opinion on the games, so it is not the die hard fact.

The recent games I bought were Bioshock 2 and Dragonball Z: Ultimate tenkaichi. I also dowloaded a demo named Transformers: fall of cybertron, this isn't a full game but I give my opinion on it but it is just a provisional opinion. Those are the games that I will talk about.

Bioshock 2: As you guys may have read in the AlphaGameBet, I didn't play bioshock but I wanted to give it a shot. That is what i have done and I must say it is pretty good. It is a little bit freaky and srtuff but that's just the environment. it is pretty cool to play as a Big daddy and the story so far is good and the player gets it right away. Not a normal shooter like Call of duty or stuff but a good alternative.
Verdict: BUY

Dragonball Z: Ultimate Teckaichi: I must say I'm a big DBZ-fan and I love the games and the serie but I didn't play it for a while. When I saw this game it looked pretty goodbut than I put it in my PS3. The result: the biggest crap came out. The controls are weird, the battles are all the same, the lipsync is terrible. it just isn't as a normal DBZ game and that is a shame. The characters look pretty good but when all the other components suck, it isn't a good game.
Verdict: SELL

Transformers: Fall of cybertron: It is just a demo but not a demo like all the others. I think this is the first demo I saw with a multiplayer in it. You can play 2 chapters from the game and the multiplayer of course. The 2 chapters are fun to play and the multiplayer is just awesome. What makes it awesome is the big customazation in the game. you can make your own autobot/decepticon. For the fans, it is a must have.
Verdict: BUY

A good gamer is a healty gamer ;)

Hello everybody

Today the 8th of August I made a big decission. I go to change myself, not my character but my figure. It took too long to do it and now it is the time. I'm not mr sumo guy but I look to fat for my own good and I don't wanna die on my 40th.

That's why I go to the gym. In the begin, I go 3 times a week( just to start slowly) and than I will like to go every day. That's not the only thing I do, I have made some achievements I wanna accomplish every day. These are just simple things like: 2l of water every day, 2 pieces of fruit, max 2 unhealty foods a week and max 1 time some chips for a movie ; that is just the begging. I don't want to take it to hard immediatly because then I would not stick to my diet and that's not my goal.

So today was my first day at the gym and here is a picture of me after a nice time at the gym and a good shower.

yeah not a big smile on my face huh but believe me as I say that I'm feeling good :D

If there is any of you guys with the same problem as me, just start together with me so we can support each other in difficult times( believe me there will come many challenges to overcome). So I hope you guys support me in this and if you do the same as me, I wish you many luck and succes on your journey ;)

AlphaGameBet: The "E" for Elder scrolls: Skyrim

Now we have come to the "E" in the alphabet, whay would you say if we just "FUS RO DAH" about it? I think you wouldn't skip this post because you can get an arrow to knee. Ok, enough with the lame jokes and let's get back to business. As you know( or not), these jokes came from the game called The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. But what is so fascinating about this game? what makes it special? Let's figure that out in this post ;)

Some general informatuion about the game , it is a RPG created by Bethesda. This isn't the only Elder scrolls, there are 5 more of them. I think you can only find number IV in the stores at the moment. For the rest, I think you can find it on the interwebs ;)

The setting of Skyrim is in an kind of medieval  landscape with a lot of diffferent races in it. The story is quite simple. You are a dragonborn, that is a man/girl that can understand everything from the dragon , as a dragonborn you must keep the balans between the people and dragon and you need to destroy Alduin as the prophecy fortold.

What makes the game that special is the big open world and it's own creating skilltree. As in real life, you can be anything in Skyrim. You want to train magic, jsut train it and why not combining it with a one-handed sword? There is a lot of stuff you can do and you can combine it with everything. An outside of the game thing that makes it special are the memes, pictures/drawnings with a funny text. Everyone has heard the jokes about "an arrow to the knee" or a random " FUS RO DAH" sound. Or examples from memes are the unlogical things in Skyrim and the high addiction.

Is it a good game? I would say yes but you need to take the little bugs and weird things ( for example you get catapult by a giant) with it ;)

Gamelight: Darksiders 2

There was not much news in Gameland, no new trailers or such thing. So I prepare you for an upcoming game called Darksiders 2.

In the prequel you played as War, one of the riders of the apocalypse. He was the one who started the apocalypse too soon. In that game, War tries to clear his name and prove his innocent.

In Darksiders 2 you play as his nice and famous brother Death. He tries to unriddle why and who lead the apocalypse and why he would blame War for this. This story of Death is set in the 100 years that War is prisoned in Hell.

Darksiders 2 is a whole other game than the first one. The more to see, more to do and you create you're own Death. If it is a brutal killer or a demonic mager, it is you're choice.

There are a lot of trailers of the game, so you can check all of them on youtube ;)

I hope I gave you guys some information about the game. Sorry that I can't tell you new information about an other game but as nothing happens, I can't invent some news ;)

Inside the Gamer week 5

Hello everybody, this week was my last week of pure freedom. If you guys read my older post, you know that I need to do resits. These are almost there so I enjoy every free moment I get. So the upcoming weeks wouldn't be so interesting but I try my best ;)

This week was a busy week. As you guys already saw, I made a profile picture for my blog and stuff. I already told what happend that day, so if you don't read the first then now is the time to check it out :p

The best days of this week where definitely friday and saturday. On friday, *insert Rebecca Black reference* I had a real life clan event in Bobbejaanland. In the beggining it was a little bit weird to see eveyone but the more time we spent with each other, the more fun we had.

Saturday was shooter-day and I don't mean the shooters on the console but real life shooter. Me and some friend were going to airsoft. For the people who don't know what airsoft is, it is like a fps game. You play with good replica weapons and you get some missions to complete in a certain time. It was fun but in the first time I got a nice headshot. The result: a nice, small wound on my cheek :)

After those 2 days, I need to relax and that was my sunday. Just a nice relaxing day with my father.

Now it is monday and I need to prepare for my resits -_-, I hope I make it this time. Wish me luck and I see you next week ;)

It's a kind of magic !!

Today was an awesome day at my friends house. Our plan was to make a picture of me that I can use for my blog,twitter and youtube but that wasn't the only thing we did :p

The first thing we did was some gaming of course. He isn't a big gamer as I am but he is working to it :p The first game we played was Sorcery, as the game suggests it's about magic. You use the PS move controllers to play the game. it was like I was in a Harry Potter movie :D Maybe it isn't the best game in the world but it's fun and that's what's gaming all about.

The next thing was a movie, which according to him I must have seen. The title of that movie was Horrible Bosses. A great movie with a lot of funny stuff going on. I defintly recommed to you guys ;)

The last thing was making a picture for my blog etc... You can see the result in my profile but that will take a while because I'm busy these days. But i'm a nice gut, so here is the world premier of my first picture of me :D




As you can see, i'm not mister hotty. Just a normal guy who likes playing videogames on his PS3 and PC.( yeah the glasses make me little bit nerdy xD ). I hope you guys don't leave the blog because of this picture because it is a whole honour that you guys read my blogs and I mean it ;)

See you guys next week and Game On ;)

PS: some thanks to my friend Rory, he is a blogger just like me and he inspirted me to do this. So if you like fashion and stuff( yes he is gay so what? :p ) check it out in the link below ;)

Jacks Tech: Nintendo 3DS XL

Let's take this week technology large and I mean XTRA LARGE! This week was the release of the new Nintendo handheld: The Nintendo 3DS XL.

But what is so different about this handheld? Well not much actually. They enlarged both screens and increased the playtime from 5 hours to 6 hours 30 minutes.Not that big woop :p

The next question is: Would you buy it for those extra's? If you don't have a 3DS( like me), you could consider to buy one because off the sleek design and the new improvements. If you already have one, I would say don't do it because it is a bit of money waste. For the ones who buy it, you can chose between 3 colours: blue, red and black.

This was Jacks Tech for this week. If you buy it, enjoy every bit off it. If you don't, just enjoy your old Nintendo DS or any other handheld ;)

AlphaGameBet: the "D" for Devil may cry

I hesitated again this week, I didn't knew which game I must chose for you guys. but than a little devil told me, let's do Devil may cry. Not the new one that comes out next year but the good oldies for playstation 2.

For the people who don't know Devil may cry, here is some information. Devil may cry is a hack and slash beat 'em up game created by Capcom. In this game, you play as Dante ,a demon hunter, who loves to kick some demons asses. At this time there are 4 Devil may cry games but like most games they don't follow  chronological. The serie begins with Devil may cry 3: dante's awakening, then Devil may cry, followed by Devil may cry 4 and last but not least is Devil may cry 2. The one that will be released next year will come before devil may cry 3.

I love to play this game because the setting are awesome, bossfights are legendary and to finish it they put a little bit of humor sauce over it. What a great dish.

For the ones who never played it on playstation 2, don't burst into tears. The game was re-released on the playstation 3 and if you search on the internet or game shops, you can find devil may cry 4 ;) My personnal favorite is Devil may cry 3 because the humor is great and the setting look more awesome than in the other games.

This was AlphaGameBet and let's kick some demon ass ;)
