Time for an upgrade...

2011-10-23T15:11:00.000-05:00

Hi Everyone!
These last few months, as well as these upcoming months, are crazy with games! Does anyone else think they need a second job to afford all of the games that have been coming out? And it's not even November yet, ahhh!

Well, I have been working hard at staying on top of all the new games coming out as well as working on a new website! It's time to move on to new and better things, and that place is coming very soon! But until then follow me on twitter @msslowski for lots of gaming news.

I have been a little distracted with playing games, especially Gears of War 3. I can't seem to pull myself away from this game. Has anyone else started playing and then looked at the clock and realized you have been playing for over four hours?!

Well we are fast approaching November, which just happens to be the biggest release of games in one month in all of gaming history! It's going to be huge, and I can not wait!

What game are you most excited for?

Nuts and Bolts with a Sword

2011-07-16T22:44:00.070-05:00

Last night, as I was blindly searching Steam and staring off into space (thinking about my love affair with Master Chief), I fatefully came across a little gem. After recently purchasing Alice: Madness Returns (more on that, soon), I wasn't much in the mood to spend any more funds out of my dwindling bank account, so I began flipping through the free-to-play section, when I stumbled upon this...

Hello!

2011-07-15T00:18:00.016-05:00

Hi Everyone! I am back after a long vacation. Its been quite a year and a half, but I am finally able to start up again with some new game reviews and PLENTY of opinions that I know everyone cares so much about.

Since we last talked, I've had a ton of fun with a lot of different games, but only a few are worth the exercise for my tired little fingers. Cataclysm came out, and in the beginning, it was pretty awesome.

Two Passions in One

2010-01-29T22:50:00.007-06:00

So....
I'm sorry that i haven't posted much in the last few months. You know it was that time of year, lots of new releases! Which ultimately means lots of playing :)

But I have come back, so have no fear!

Over the last few months I have been really trying to figure out what my passion is in life. My job is not that exciting, and I know that I won't want to do it forever. We all know I LOVE video games, however, I can't program or draw ...so a job in the video game industry will be tough to find for this little lady. That doesn't mean I'm giving up though!

The Surprise

2009-10-29T10:23:00.015-05:00

So the other night Michael (my gaming partner) told me he had a surprise for me. I was preparing for something small, like another Domo gift (i <3 Domo!). But no...this surprise was one of the best in a long time!

To Serve and...KILL!!!

2009-10-28T08:23:00.009-05:00

So as some of you may or may not know I do not care for the Playstation 3. I am an Xbox 360 girl, and proud of it! However, I do own a PS3 and I would like to tell you the one and only reason why I own one...

Leave it to the Fans....

2009-10-27T10:18:00.004-05:00

If Valve doesn’t do it someone will! Fans have been anxiously awaiting a new map for the original Left 4 Dead and come Halloween they will have one!

Some dedicated fans have been working on a new scenario called “Dead by Dawn”, which takes place at the Crossroads Mall which is from the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead. Here you will try to survive getting through the mall with security guard C.J., who has a personality of his own.
These developers have been working hard for the L4D community and have used Valve’s mod tools from Half Life 2, and have gotten their full support. Valve has even so much as helped them out with an audio clip…can you guess what that might be (hehe)?!

They're Back....

2009-10-26T10:15:00.002-05:00

Well I am back after a crazy few months and now November is just around the corner and you know what that means…Release Month! November is going to be crazy with new releases and we can not wait!

This year seems to be the year of the sequel, and although most sequels aren’t as good as the original these ones look like they might even be better.

A Movie Just For Us?

2009-09-04T09:54:00.004-05:00

So as a woman I have found Gerard Butler to be somewhat attractive. Ok, lets not lie; he was F***ing sexy in 300!

So now that I got that out of my system let’s talk about his new movie that comes out today; GAMER.

Revieling the Makeover!

2009-09-02T08:01:00.014-05:00

The PS3 Slim hit store shelves throughout the country yesterday and we can't wait to see what happens. Before you go out and buy one, make sure that you do your research to see if it’s worth it. I have started it for you and compared the major features between the two.

The Next Step?

2009-08-31T08:41:00.001-05:00

So coming this winter, there is a new game console coming out; if you can call it that. I recently had a conversation which then turned into a debate with someone and I am continuing that conversation here today.

The console is called OnLive, and the cool thing is you don’t actually buy a hard copy of the game. The whole system is done via internet connection. Before I get into how skeptical I am about this new system, and believe I am, let me give you some general background info on the system.

Microsoft: The Ultimate One-Upper

2009-08-27T10:15:00.001-05:00

Way to go Microsoft! And trust me I never say that unless it’s about the Xbox.

With the PS3 slim coming out in less than a week, Microsoft has quickly stepped up to the plate and made sure that they are still a major competitor in the console market. It was officially announced that Microsoft’s Xbox 360 Elite will drop in price starting Friday…TOMORROW. It was originally at $399 and will now be available at $299 (the same as the PS3 slim). Even with its price drop, the Elite will still be the most expensive Xbox 360 available. However, it was also announced that the Xbox Pro edition will also have a price drop from $299 to $249, but will be phased out by the end of the year. Which mean, if you want something between the Arcade edition and the Elite edition, you need to buy it now before they all disappear.

Something for the Body

2009-08-26T12:43:00.001-05:00

Ok ladies, here is some big news and OMG am I excited! I know many of you might not be as excited as I am, but the Biggest Loser franchise is coming out with a video game. They are probably a little late with this since there is already the Wii Fit, but I love the Biggest Loser team and I find them to be so helpful.

WoW: Cataclysm

2009-08-25T14:32:00.001-05:00

This past weekend the fourth annual (expect in 2006) Blizz Con which took place in Anaheim, California. Unfortunately, I couldn’t go due to lack of funds. However, I did order the live internet stream and watched most of it Friday and Saturday. The biggest and most exciting news of all…wait for it….they officially announced Cataclysm!!! Finally, the third expansion for WoW (World of Warcraft) has been announced. And it didn’t stop there! Blizzard gave us a huge amount of information on what to expect. Today I am going to go over a lot of that information to fill everyone in on what they might have missed out on. There’s a lot to talk about so you might want to grab your Mountain Dew WoW Game Fuel (FOR THE HORDE) before we start.

PS3 Makeover

2009-08-24T11:35:00.001-05:00

Well, it was release last week and still big news today that the PS3 is getting a makeover! It's smaller, cheaper and even keeping its big hard drive (120 GB). This is something that Sony needed to do a year ago and is long over due.

Although I am more of an Xbox 360 girl, I was one of the few to also get the PS3 not long after it came out. I was in love with the tower defense game Monsters (available at the PS store by Pixel Junk), and the fact that it had a Blue ray player built inside was a nice bonus.

The Very Beginning....

2009-08-22T18:36:00.001-05:00

Hello! I am Ms. Slowski, a girl and avid gamer (gasp). Yes, there are a lot of us girl gamers out there and we are proud of it. I became a gamer not too long ago and here is how it all began....

When I was a little girl all I asked for a game console every Christmas and Birthday. Back then it was a Nintendo, Super Nintendo, then Playstation and so forth. And every year I never got one. I never made my parents feel bad (I don't think they ever really knew how badly I wanted one) but a little piece of me was disappointed. Then one day I met my Prince Charming, who also happens to be quite into video games himself and my passion was finally discovered.
