TalkRadar 78 - Win free stuff!
This post is in response to the Tony Hawk signed skateboard. We were asked for our favorite tony hawk moment or memory of him.
When I started skating in 87 my very first pro model was the Tony Hawk bird skull from Powell Peralta. Back in those days there were very few skate companies that had really good team riders and Powell had some of the best. As a kid we would go to the local skate shop and rent any P&P video that came out. Vert skating wasn't something I was good at but Tony Hawk was always progressing and making up tricks on vert.
During the early console generations there were skateboarding games but they were always complete and utter ass. I remember the first time I saw THPS on the Dreamcast and I remember thinking that this is what skateboarding should be like on a console. Unfortunately they ran the game into the ground through later iterations.
I had skated for over 15 years until I was seriously injured while in the military and had to have back surgery. After the surgery it was found out that I had severe nerve damage in my left leg(which for me was the leg I used to control all my flip tricks) and ever since I haven't been able to really get back in skateboarding. It's been hard to adjust to something you spent half your life doing but I still always check out the magazines when I'm at the store or watch videos when the leak online.
I don't think TH Ride is going to progress skateboarding on consoles. In my opinion Activision should've ripped off Skate and went with the realistic controls instead of putting you on a fake skateboard. It will work for the people that do skate but I feel that's about the only people that will care.
I hope this long winded story gets me the signed Tony Hawk board. It will good on my wall.
Thanks T-Dar crew. Can't wait for this Friday's podcast.

I wish I had a 360 copy but I'm at least happy that Gamefly sent me a copy for the PS3. I look forward to playing with Wikiparez on Friday. I wish they would play a little earlier in the day though.

IW has added quite a lot. Our clan was always great at holding choke points. I'm sure over time strategies will be developed and run into the ground.
Can't wait till November and I'm glad they patched the mod controller. That was one of the worst parts about COD4

I think you guys were really stretching it with this article. A few of the games I could see helping change the way games are developed but there quite a few that I had no idea why they're even on the list.
But you guys get paid the big bucks to make up stuff we all come to read. Just my opinion.

Prototype (PS3): Prototype
MIkel and GamesRadar in general like to give us the readers something other sites don't, a different take on gaming in general. They like to give shit to the developers on all 3 consoles. I've come to expect these things from this site and that's why this is the main gaming site I check for reviews and game news. Sure it might be full or potty humor but quit taking yourself so seriously.
If you don't like the reviews or articles then go visit other sites. Gaming sites are a dime a dozen these days and everyone has an opinion on them, so I'm sure you're bound to find a site that appeals to your likes and dislikes.
It's ok to debate the subject and give your opinion but at this point in the game we should all know what to expect from GR.

E3 09: Hub
After watching all the press conferences I think Ubisoft's had to the most boring shit I've had the misfortune to have to sit through.
I can't believe they had their own event. WTF E3!
Nintendo seemed to have more for the core audience this time around but still some silly shit was shown like a freakin pulse reader. Dear God.
MAG looked kinda cool but it was funny that the main guy running the squad never really got shot and kept avoiding the enemies. Seemed to me it was kinda scripted just to show the game running. Don't get me wrong I think the idea is cool I just want to hear more from journalists who get to have hands on with it. Hopefully Sony will have a beta running soon but I hope it's not attached to a Q(whore) subscription.
Can't wait for a podcast to hear what Elston thought of Nintendo and what Antista thought of their not being any innovation.

Fallout 3: Broken Steel review
I can't believe you guys are just now getting around to posting a review. I already hit level 30 last week before my 360 died from the RROD. When I get my 360 back in a month I'm gonna go back for the evil and good level 30 achievements then not play until the new DLC comes out. I hope Bethesda increases the cap to 40 but Todd Howard said they wouldn't.
Why put the cap at only 30? Makes no f'n sense. I mean all these people complain about hitting level 20 so fast. Why only make an increase of 10 levels? You'd think that they'd put it at 50 or some shit. I think they had no idea what kinds of perks they could add after level 30. Most of the new perks are freakin lame and your character is so bad ass that most of them don't even matter. My character has like 6 or 7 stats already at 100%. I can't read anymore books and the ones that aren't maxed don't really need to be more than 50% besides Sneak.
Don't get me wrong I'm all for more DLC and I want to go back to Fallout 3 but capping your character at such low levels makes no damn sense. I just hope that whatever game they decide to make next that the level cap is real high. I think that keeping the cap low that it allowed people to get the achievement for hitting it easy. You'd think that with all 3 DLC's and the fact that you can hit level 20 halfway thru the original game that they would've made the level cap a little higher than 30. I'm I just talkin out my ass or does anyone else feel that only getting 10 more levels to grind was way too small of an increase?

InFamous (PS3): InFamous
Marketing behind exclusive games gets gamer interested in buying said games. That's what marketing is about. Getting you to spend your money on their games. A marketing team could spin a tale telling you that the turd they just pooped out was the best thing next to air and you would believe it. That's why there is so much money in marketing. The truth comes out what the reviews start pouring out. Some sites fluff games scores to just get more hits on their sites. Some sites are really credible while others are not. If you don't like the reviewer or the site then why come here and post all this bile shit.
I've listened to all Tdar's podcast and Mikel is very knowledgeable about gaming in general and just because his score isn't online with what you expect you all get your JLA underwear in binds. Go buy/rent the game and make the decision on that choice. No one said you had to base your game purchases on Mikel's decisions did they? Is your wallet holding a gun to your head and saying; "What did Mikel give this game? It had better be a 8 or higher or you're not getting the money in me to get this game."
It's your right to express your opinion but at least wipe your ass before you start spewing all your hate!
I've already bought the game and will play it evil. If I don't like it I'll put it for trade on gametz.
Mikel never be a sheep. Be a bull with some big fuckin nuts!

Why BioShock 2 is a TERRIBLE IDEA
I'm looking forward to this even though I know that there is no way it will live up to the original but sequels never do. My only wish would be that they drop multiplayer and focus on the studio. It doesn't help either that a whole nother studio is working on the multiplayer. Are we all gonna be running around as Big Daddies? I really don't find that intriguing at all.
One last thing. How can the Big Daddy be able to walk outside Rapture. It's it super deep in the ocean? The pressure would crush the suit. The idea is ok but I think they put up a bunch of post it notes with ideas on them and threw darts and the wall and whatever got hit at that meeting was put into play.
Of course this is all speculation because none of us have played it and we've only seen images.
But it is definitely on my must play this for this year.

How BioShock 2 will be better than the first
“One Little Sister in particular did not, could not leave Rapture behind. She returns there, finds it in shambles and starts to show off these crazy powers that come from her growing up. She starts the cycle over again.”
Anyone have any ideas on what this will entail? I was kinda on the fence about Bioshock 2 but after seeing the gameplay trailer and reading the story I'm quite intrigued about the game. I beat Bioshock 3 different times and I'm debating about going back to it again. Definitely worth playing through imo.
