Harry Potter ATDH game ZOMG WTH?

For the last few Harry Potter videogames, the fun has been investigating Hogwarts, mixing up potions, and finding hundreds of collectables hidden in the halls. In fact, if there was one part that always seemed to be "so-so," it was the wand-based combat. It seemed like Harry would just plant his feet, hurl a few incantations, and you'd move on to doing something more fun. Knowing all of that, it was a bit shocking to play the latest Chosen One videogame recently.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 1 is a third-person shooter where your wand is the stand-in for a gun. Believe it. Hogwarts is gone this time around and instead you step behind Harry's spectacles as he runs about England fighting Death Eaters and tracking He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Rather than eating chocolate frogs and figuring out how to ride a broom, the Deathly Hallows is all about life and death so EA decided to make the game follow the book and film's more serious direction.

This seems like a bizarre move move by EA, but from what I've seen from the trailer (below), it looks like this could truly be a great new angle on the Potter games.
EDIT: you might wanto go fullscreen with this video, otherwise the right side of the video is cut off..

New Natal Prototype design


One of the biggest mysteries in gaming currently surrounds Microsoft's upcoming motion camera, Project Natal. Not only has the company been secretive about the price of the device, but the final name and model design still haven't been confirmed.

In April, pictures of test kits surfaced on the internet showing the device colored black. The photos also confirmed Natal would use an independently motorized tilt mechanism. Since then, Natal has appeared with a new white color scheme at recent media and consumer events.

Now, Natal has showed up yet again at the 2010 D8 Conference in California this week. Tech blog Engadget posted photos of Natal's latest incarnation. This model has "No Manual Tilt" written on the front, and "Development Sample" on the back.

Blue Meh



So I've been playing Blue Dragon on the 360, and though it's an amazing game, I'm only two hours into it and already getting bored of the same old JRPG style I've been playing for years and years. Though I don't wanto do a big review for an old game, I will give it a score. (I know I haven't really played enough to score it, but anyway) Two hours in Blue Dragon is a 7/10.

A game I have been really really enjoying is SWTFU. I think this game is very underrated, and it's one of the most fun I've had with a game in a long time. I'm up to my third playthrough, and chucking stormtroopers all over the place still hasn't gotten old. At E3, we are going to get a much more expanded look at swtfu2, which I can't wait to play. The trailer they showed a few months ago was awesome. One question though, (SPOILERS AHEAD) in the game, if you choose the light side ending, you die. If you choose the Dark side, you turn into vader 2.0. In the trailer, Starkiller looks like he does at the beginning of the game...WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON????

DS price drop in Japan


Nintendo Japan announced today new pricing for its full lineup of DS systems. Starting June 19, DSi XL will go down in price from 20,000 yen to 18,000 yen. DSi will go down from 18,900 yen to 15,000 yen. DS Lite will be slashed from 16,800 yen to "open" pricing, meaning it's basically being cut from production.

Joining the new pricing, Nintendo will give DSi XL its first set of color variations. Currently, Japan-based buyers have access to Wine Red, Dark Brown and Natural White. Starting June 19, the lineup will include the more primary Yellow, Blue, and Green.

E3 2010 just around the corner...


So, E3 2010...
June 14-17... THIS WILL BE AWESOME.
I am extremely excited for a more in depth look at Project NATAL, as I am an XBOT.
Last year we got an enticing look at MILO, with its realistic character model and innovative design, this title will most definitely be one of NATAL's must have games.

Alot of internet discussion has been surrounding this game, some people even saying that it will never come out...and to tell you the truth, if NASA can't make intelligent AI on their super computers, (and although the 360 is pretty freakin' awesome) there's no way in hell they can do it on our home consoles.

In other stuffs, I HATE 3D.

Ok, a little over-exaggeration there, 3D is great and all, but I really don't think it will EVER become the standard for TV's and theater until glasses are not required. Take a look at this little scenario:

Carl has invited his friends over for dinner, and after they are going to watch a movie on his new 3D TV. They finish dinner, and go downstairs to watch the movie. there are 8 friends. Carl has 4 pairs of glasses. FAIL for Carl who bought a 3D TV, LOL for me.

Ok, this post has gone completely off track, but yeah...STUFF!

I'm back

hey stuffers, bunjie's back, revamped, and ready to kick off the next load of awesome that is the STUFF 4 U. I haven't posted here in awhile, but with a lack of things to do online in the last few months, (and a friend getting back into blogging (YES YOU, PLIME!),) I thought I would too. So check back here whenever you get a chance, the STUFF 4 U lives on!
