WWE Survivor Series 2008-My Reaction

Last night the 22nd Survivor Series was held in Boston, Mass. The event was sold out with 15,000+ in attendance. This PPV had a mix of both good and bad, with some solid matches but towards the end of the night history would be made in 2 ways.


The first match was Team HBK vs. Team JBL, which was a solid opener that got the crowd going early. The match teased a John Morrison vs HBK program which I thought was fun and I would like to see more of. Predictable outcome with HBK's team going over.

The next match was the Raw Divas vs Smackdown Divas which was the worst match on the card, I'm starting to think that Creative is losing more and more confidence with McCool as Champion every day with her being the first to be eliminated from the match.

Next match was the return of the Casket match which was a very solid match with a predictable outcome, with Big Show looking dominant for much of the match only for Taker to turn the tables and pull out the win.

The last and best SS tag match was up next, which had Team Batista going up against Team Orton. Everyone on each team was able to get thier spots in but in the end it was Orton pulling out the win and allowing the feud with Batista to continue.

The match of the night would follow with the WWE Championship on the line, Triple H vs Vladimir Koslov was a very slow and boring match from the outset, with "Boring" and "We Want Hardy" chants, but then Creative pulled out the rabbit and out came Edge like he was never gone, then Hardy comes out and delivers justice but Edge was still able to pull out the win.

World Heavyweight Championship is up next with Chris Jericho defending against the returning John Cena. Regardless of how you feel about Cena, there's no denying that he is one of the hardest workers in WWE today. To come back from what most would call a career shortening injury, and, under an insane amount of legit pressure, and put on a stellar match is incredible. Cena would once again show his Incredible Hulk-like strength and defeat Jericho to win the WHC.

All in all it was a solid PPV with highs and lows. But the card had the scent of desperation, with so many Traditional SS tag matches being on the card it seemed like Creative ran out of ideas for matches.

Review: Gears of War 2

The sequel to one of the most popular Xbox 360 games has finally arrived, and it's bigger and better than the first in every way. The story, combat mechanics, and overall gameplay have recieved major overhauls, and the new Horde mode is one of the most addictive multiplayer modes in recent history. Small problems with the game include a broken weapon system in multiplayer, a few techinical glitches, and campaign that is still short (only 5 acts)

For those reasons I can only give this game a 4.5 out of 5

Gaming News 10/16/08

It's confirmed, there will be a Bioshock 2 trailer with the PS3 edition of Bioshock. So PS3 fanboys have another advantage that the Xbox 360 version didn't.

It's also being said that the highly-anticipated sequel Gears of War 2 is the most pre-ordered game in history. There has been upwards of over 1 million pre-orders and the game is still weeks away.


That's all for this edition of Gaming News!!!!

Review: Rock Band 2

I've never played a Rock Band game, but now that I have I must say they are hella fun and offer more variety than any previous Guitar Hero game. There are over 80 songs, with downloadable songs coming every week allows for a constantly fresh expierience. Online modes include world tour, quickplay, battle of the bands and various others. The bottom line is this a must buy for any music game fan.


5/5
