Another Cool Game for Sony PS3?

December 8th, 2010 General, ReviewsTags: Games, PS3, Sony

Although many people may choose to play their poker at a live casino or in a top 10 online casinos, the major video game consoles are intent on providing options for those who want to enjoy poker through the convenience of their own video game system. Often, these poker games take the form of an arcade version available through the console’s downloadable online live service. A PS3 entry in this genre is Sony Online Entertainment’s High Stakes Vegas Strip: Poker Edition.

High Stakes Vegas Strip: Poker Edition
The first thing you will want to note is that this is NOT strip poker. It’s poker on the Vegas strip. If you’re looking for opponents who will be taking their clothes off when you show them your flush, you need to look elsewhere. This game is good old fashioned poker.

Playing High Stakes Vegas Strip on the PS3
Once you’ve got that straightened out, you can enjoy the game. There are five different poker variants you can enjoy, Texas hold’em, Super Hold’em, Billabong, Shanghai and Tahoe. All of these are community card variants which vary with regard to the number of hole cards you get and the number of board cards there are.

The graphics in this game are pretty good. You customize your own character and play against realistic opponents who may be computer opponents or live online opponents (a total of six players). There are two viewing angles, a regular seated angle and an overhead angle that allows you to better follow all the action, such as who has bet what and how much money everyone has in front of them and in the pot.

Enjoy High Stakes Vegas Strip: Poker Edition for the PS3
Although there is no nudity, High Stakes Vegas Strip: Poker Edition for the PS3 does offer a fun and convincinig way to play virtual poker at home just like playing in a online casino for USA players. The computer opponents will always play their best, and you can hope for online opponents who appreciate the challenge of a good game, rather than going all-in at every opportunity because the money isn’t real. You won’t in fact be playing for actual money in this game, but the skills you learn may translate into real money success someday.

August 9th, 2010 Something Useful, The BuzzTags: Black Friday, Shopping

A few months from now, the yearly sale in the United States is about to happen again. It’s August, but some stores like Target had an early Black Friday sale. This year, a lot of people are saving once again for the most awaited and most spectacular sale around the world.

Black Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, traditionally the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. The term dates back to at least 1966, although its usage was primarily on the East coast. The term has become more common in other parts of the country since 2000.

Because Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States, Black Friday occurs between the 23rd and the 29th of November.

This year, the Black Friday Sale will be on the 26th of November 2010. People will rush to their favorite stores like Walmart, Target, Sears, Best Buy, Macy’s, Toys R Us, and so much more!

There’s a dedicated website called Black Friday Planet, wherein they will give us updates on the latest and coolest Black Friday 2010 deals. The best deals will be gathered in one place and we’ll receive from updates on the cheapest deals this coming November 2010.

So, what are we waiting for? Let’s start saving big bucks and shop til we drop on the last week of November 2010!

Chael Sonnen will face the Spider at UFC 117

August 8th, 2010 The BuzzTags: UFC

Anderson Silva will surely win the match against Chael Sonnen and he will surely defend his UFC Middleweight Championship belt. I really wonder why Chael Sonnen is the No.1 contender for the Middleweight bout. I think Sonnen will be defeated in the first round of UFC 117 main event. Tonight is another UFC night that is really predictable.

As we all know, UFC 117 will start a few hours from now. UFC 117 will feature awesome fight cards and awesome fighters. The main bout will be between Sonnen, the challenger, and Silva, the champion.

Let’s all watch UFC 117 live stream tonight! The live stream will start at exactly 10:00 PM Eastern Time and 7:00 PM Pacific Time!

Who will win tonight’s UFC? I bet Silva will surely win and I have no doubts that he will be defeated. Sonnen will also do his best to never be defeated tonight, but he will never survive one round in tonight’s match.

Nintendo 3DS Price and Availability in the US

July 6th, 2010 General, Technology

I’ve been itching to grab and play with the new Nintendo 3DS. I’ve been waiting for it to be released in the United States because I want to buy it and witness its awesome new feature, the 3D thing. This is the first 3D device that you can see the actual 3D without using 3D glasses.

Isn’t it really awesome? All 3D animations or moving objects inside a screen or an LCD as of now requires 3D glasses. This is a major breakthrough in the world of 3D. It’s portable and you can see Mario popping out of your Nintendo gaming console.

I will also download DS games here so that I can still play with my good old Nintendo DS Games. 3DS is said to be backward compatible. You can still play your good old DS games and DSi games.

Anyway, you can read more about 3DS and it’s price and availability here. More updates about Nintendo 3DS will be posted soon!
