It's the 1st... Time for Must haves of the Month!

I'm finally back with enough energy and motivation to write this... barely. Haven't got much sleep the past days, since I stayed up for a whole day and woke up at 8am today. I haven't woke up at 8am in years, and if I am up at 8 in the morning, I'm still up from the night before! My friend wanted me to get in on his league for Fantasy Football, so I'm giving that a try this year. I don't really watch much football, ( I only started to watch because of my new HDTV and I had a little money on some games) but Gus said it would be a lot more fun when you do this fantasy stuff. I'll try almost anything once, just for the experience.

I've put Bioshock on the backburner a little, since when I try to get my time in on the game, more people than ever are trying to contact me on the phone and hangin out. I now know what I need to do when I need everyone's attention; say I'm going to be gone for a week!

First I'll talk about the movie you must see at the movies.... Superbad. It's about best friends on there last days of high school and they are trying to get laid before college. It takes place in a whole day kinda like dazed and confused and is laugh out loud the whole way through. I can't think of just one funny part, because the whole damn movie is hilarious. From the makers of 40 year old virgin add this one to your must see movies. Reason why i've been up all day yesterday was because Friday is usually the only day I can kick it with my brother since he moved out. The schedule I have doesn't really work out for him ( I don't think it works for anyone but me) so I had to get up at 11:30am to get prepared for the movie. ( you know how I do it) I actually didn't get no sleep so 24hrs, but I was ready to laugh at some funny's! We went to go see Balls of Fury, and if you like ping pong you'll prolly like this movie. It definitely had it's funny moments, but it wasn't no Superbad, I can tell you that right now. Had a good cast and as you would expect lots of balls flying. No spoilers here, but I would give it a C+.

I seen this crazy show on BET called "We Gotta Do Better" hosted by Charles Murphy. ( what else do you need to say) It features crazy ass clips featuring some Hot Ghetto Mess, and then Charles comments on them. Most of it was hilarious, but unfortunately it was the season finale. I'm sure there will be repeats though so keep your eyes peeled. Also I was unaware they made a second season to Wonder Showzen. It's a kids show for adults and pretty good on the funny scale. I actually seen a episode with David Cross and Zack Galifianakis ( comedians) which was called horse apples. From what I seen it was pretty good, so I'll have to look out for it on DVD, I already have the first season and thought they canceled it for being so raw. Good job MTV for making an actually funny show!

Now for the Must haves for video game consoles! First off, 360 news. This should've came out with the launch of the 360 since it's so useful. I'm talking about the The Xbox 360 Messenger Kit. This kit includes a backlit Chatpad that pops on to the bottom of your controller and a special headset that attaches to it. The two sell for $30, and I think that's a decent price plus the bonus headset. ( although it's a wired headset) This comes out Sept. 4th along with The Limited Edition Halo 3 Wireless Controllers and Headset. The controllers look pretty ugly to me, and I sure as hell wouldn't want to pay money for em.

Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix hit XBLA and the PSN this week. For those who have not played this game is one of the best underrated games from the PlayStation years. This game doesn't have much to do with puzzles, but it's rather an addictive game you can play for hours against your fellow challengers. I would describe it as a lil tetris flavor with 10 crack rocks and huge jems you can make and destroy and let crap fall down on your opponents screen.
Streets of Rage 2 also came out from the Sega classic collection. Good game, only 400 points too, while puzzle fighter is 800 points but worth every little point. A bunch of demos also came out on XBLA. Those include the new Medal of Honor game Airborne, it has a huge sandbox and you can pick where you land in the game via parachute. Also the Timeshift demo is out, the title says it all... you can control time ans shit. The new skateboarding game .Skate, NHL 08, Tiger Woods 08, Madden 08, and Blazing Angels 2 demo came out as well, so you can try before you buy!

for the Ps3, Warhawk came out finally and you can buy via the PSN, or pick up a copy at a store. puzzle fighter also came out on PSN, which I mentioned, and Lair came out but it got a 4.9 rating from IGN! PASS! Also the PS3 version of Stranglehold won't be out until the 23rd of Sept. The 360 version will be out on the 4th Sept, while the pc and ps3 owners will have to wait. I wonder why they keep on pushing it back? A bunch of stuff also came out on the PSN recently also, so if you own a PS3 check it all out!

For the Wii, Metroid 3 came out, and it's a must buy for sure. Pretty kewl style of a FPS ( first person shooter) since your using the wii-remote and the nunchuck. I had a feeling it would be good since Resident Evil 4 plays so great on the wii. Another must own title! Brunswick Bowling came out, but it's not even online compatible! WEAK! I was planning on picking this up, but no online? I want to play bowling with my friend in Vietnam! I couple Fishing games are on the horizon, I hope they are online and great gameplay! ( crossing fingers and toes)

Well, that's about it for me. I plan on playing some poker for labor day and spending time hanging out with my longtime friend Gus while he's in town. After that, maybe I can get back to my Bioshock. My bros been bitchin at me that I play a game for a bit and then go onto the next, which results in 20 games unfinished. I REALLY need to stick with one and beat it and go onto the next. That reminds me I'm still making my list of every game I beaten and played.... Coming SOON!
