Hey everyone I am back again! I’m sure you are all glad to hear from me again and excited for more content on this website. Anyways, I hope to get back in the swing of things like my Video Game Reviews, Television Show Reviews, Rants, News and even stuff you’ve never seen on my Blog.

First up, my reviews will be now called The Under Gamer Reviews or T.U.G. Reviews and I’ll review the new iPhone came that even beat out Angry Birds… Tiny Wings! (Who thought Birds and iPhone mix well enough to make great games)

Second, I’ll try and bring back the News and provide my view on all things Video Games and Technology.

Thanks for reader and hope you enjoy my “New” blog!

Blizzard Plans To Ban Starcraft II Cheating

I have not played the game yet, but I do plan to get it soon after I played it. Granted, I have not played any of the past games before, but I always wanted to the game before so why not now.

Anyways, I am actually surprised they didn’t act upon this sooner. I mean the game has been out for less than two months and they plan to ban up to 350,000 players of committing the act of cheating while playing Starcraft II. I, personally as a gamer, am appalled at the idea of cheating in a video game. It ruins the gaming experience and makes you look really desperate to win in the game.

I think this plan is the right decision in taking down these unlawful individuals and keep the game fair for those who want to play the game without fear of the opponent cheating.

Facebook: The Movie “Must-see Film of the Year”

I remember back in the day, two years ago, I came across news about Facebook becoming a movie. I immediately made a MS Paint Comic about it because I thought to myself, “How obscure a about a social-networking site becoming a movie.” Sure enough, they are actually making one.

Oddly enough, it is a must-see movie about a group of college kids using a website to meet woman and later expanded to other colleges to high schools and finally anyone on the internet. They also got through all kinds of controversies and tribulations into becoming one of the Internets most popular website.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate the site, but I don’t see the idea for a movie about how Facebook came to be. I guess I’ll just wait until it is release and available on Netflix.

Happy Birthday 25th Birthday Mario!

I’d like to give a belated shout out to one of my favorite video game characters of all time… Mario “Jumpman” Mario. For twenty-five years, you have starred in some of the best games throughout the Nintendo systems from Super Mario Bros. to Super Mario Galaxy 2.

There was a rough patch with Hotel Mario and some bad education you got through that with your head held high and made some amazing games for the consoles and handhelds. I hope for another wonderful twenty-five years with great games in all kinds of genres in the near future.

To close out my entry, I hope to “see you next time” on Awesome News

I am back for more of the Awesome News that you need to know.

New iPad planned for the Holiday Release [Rumor]

Let me start off by saying I was not really fond of the iPad when it was announced and after finally using it from a friend of my Father I can see the appeal of the popular device. From the capabilities of both an iPhone and tablet to the endless possibilities at your own disposal, I see why everyone flocked right to their Apple Store to try out this device. I for one will not buy it until I get through school and truly need it in the future.

Now back to the story, there has been a rumor circulating around that there may be new iPad coming out before the Holiday season. Of course most everyone knows that Apple shows new products every year in June or July whether it is a new iPhone or iTunes so a new iPad, which by the way is less six months old, may seem highly unlikely to happen. I expect a new iPad in late Spring or even early Summer, depending on their next conference will be.

Although, with the rise and demand of tablets and in the end there could be a new iPad for the consumer, but all is not set in stone and we might not know for awhile. So until then, keep your iPad close and hope for the best!

Ratchet & Clank All 4 One Gameplay Revealed

I will admit that when I first heard about this game being produced I was both excited and bitter at the same time. I have played the Ratchet & Clank games all the way to Tools of Destruction and loved every minute of all the games so far. With that said, when I heard they were no longer making Ratchet & Clank games I was really sad to hear such an amazing series was finished for good… Or so I thought!

It was awhile back and I heard that a new game was being developed for the PS3 and to feature Ratchet & Clank yet again. Upon hearing that I was disappointed to hear that it won’t be like the past Ratchet & Clank games. To much of the sadness that I had endure when I heard this knowledge, after viewing the gameplay in the video I can conclude my further excitement for this game. It features some unique gameplay and features some of my favorite characters from the series, which is always a plus for me!

Without further ado, I am thrilled for this game to come out and bring new challenges to the epic series of the handy Lombax and his awesome robot companion.
