THE GRANDFATHER OF FIRST-PERSON-SHOOTING RETURNS IN WOLFENSTEIN: THE NEW ORDER

        Greetings from StormWulf, and welcome to another gaming update. We got alot to talk about to day so settle in and get comfortable. 

 First things first, the guys at Ubisoft have decided to re-release an HD remastered version of the original Far Cry. Far Cry: Classic, as it's called, will be available on both the PSN and the XBL: Market place on Feb.12th for a small fee of $9.99. For those of you who live in Europe Farcry Classic will be available in store as part of a Far Cry compilation called Far Cry: The Wild Expedition, which will include Far Cry's 1-3 as well as FC: Blood Dragon for a small fee of 29.99 euros. For those of us who do not live in Europe, Ubisoft has decided to release a similar compilation call Far Cry: The Compilation, but it will be a PS3 exclusive and it will NOT be including Far Cry 1 and will cost $39.99. So probably better off spending your $9.99 for the original and buying the rest seperately. 

   Now we come to the meat and taters portion of todays gaming update. Wolfenstein, to veteran gamers like myself, Wolfenstein is synonomous with being the very first first-person shooting game. It paved the way for some of the best game series on store shelves today. Without it there wouldn't be any HALO's or Call of Duties, just a world ruled by Side-scrolling Platformers, which there is nothing wrong with, just the gaming world is better to have seen the creation of such a genre. Now the gaming grand dad is back and with an entirely new engine and gameplay, so be prepared to enter the world of Wolfenstein: The New Order. 

Title: Wolfenstein: The New Order

 

Developer(s): Machine Games

Publisher(s): Bethesda SoftWorks

Genre(s): First-Person-Shooter

Platform(s): PC, PS3, PS4, XBOX 360, XBOX One
Release Date: 2014

Plot: Set in an alternate version of 1960s Europe, where the Nazis prevailed in the second World War, players re-assume control of the series protaganist: William "B.J." Blazkowicz. Blazkowicz, who is know as an American war hero, is tasked with launching an "impossible" counter-offensive mission to take out the Nazi regime and the arsenal of "super-weapons".

Gameplay/Overview:  New Order will follow in true FPS fashion having players play across different levels to complete seperate mission objectives and tasks. Player health will be a little different than most games now, where in the player health bar will be divided into seperate sections that can regenerate overtime, but loose on section of health and players will have to rely on health packs to regain lost health. All paranormal themes from the preivous games have been completely removed from this title, instead game developers are going to be focusing more on retro-futuristic elements. With New Order being this far from a release date, not much has been revealed about its gameplay, but extensive research on my part has revealed elements of underwater exploration, along with moments of mountain-esc vehicles chases, as well as player-controlable Nazi war machines. When more info is released you can expect StormWulf to be there to retrive it and deliver it to you my little gaming minions. Until then...stay frosty minions!

"Hello I’m Mr. Grey or you can call me "Grey". I like long walks on the beach at night, candle lit dinners, and hordes of enemies wanting to put my head on a silver platter, watching as their dreams are crushed before their very eyes! I’m a gamer in short, getting better at what I do, sharpening my skills to a razor point. I’ve started playing "The Hidden" and have taken to trying out PC games! If you want more talk to the high overseer J-Foo"

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

We'll it's the start of a new year. time to get cracking on those new years resolutions! Of course you know about our goals for 2014 here at Nerds Socialize. 30 episodes for the podcast, increased content, yada yada! 

SO! what are you doing for the new year today besides recovering from a hangover? (I don't drink so no hangover for me! :-P) For my new years day I'm catching up on two of my favorite Toku shows. Kamen Rider and Garo. If you're a fan of power rangers or Kamen Rider, but want a darker and deeper emotional journey with REALLY cool armor, then Garo is for you. its been one of my favorite series for a LONG LONG time. And they just keep makeing the show so much more amazing by keeping old cast members, and cameos even after 11 years after the first series ended.

HAJIME NO IPPO: RISING SEASON 3!!!! Out now!

Okay, for those of you who follow the blog, and know me, J-Foo. Then you also know how big a dork about boxing I am. On top of that, you also know how big a dork I am about a specific BOXING anime. or more specifically, the MOST AWESOME BOXING ANIME IN ALL OF EXISTENCE IN THE HISTORY OF MAN, DINOSAUR, ALIEN, OR SUB SPACE!

HAJIME NO IPPO 3! RISING!!!!!!!!!! (or for Americans more familiar with the american title "Fighting Spirit")

I can't tell you how excited I am that this third season is finally out. I can only watch my DVD's of this series so many times before they wear out and I'm left sad and alone in this world with no Ippo..... SO, what I'm hoping for in this season, IPPO KICKING SOME SERIOUS ASS! He better be going for the damned world title in this season!

Now, as much as I love Ippo and his character (his awkwardness reminds me so much of myself) I think the best route for this story to go is for Ippo to get all the way to the final battle, the WORLD TITLE, but in the end, after a massive struggle, loses. I know that sounds anticlimactic and sad, but I always felt that Ippo, as great of a boxer he has become, his character has a lot of reality to him, and the reality of the boxing world is, you win some, you lose some... or you're a douche like Mayweather. So, regardless of how Ippo's journey goes. Whether or not he becomes world champion, or goes down in a blaze of glory, I would be pretty happy.
