So, will this get you to buy a PSVita?

krieg610Along with the previous announcement from Sony, that the “majority of PS4 games will be playable on the PSVita”, Sony and developer Gearbox have teamed up to finally bring Borderlands 2 to the PSVita.  All that carnage, mayhem, jokes, etc that you so loved on your Home Console will soon be available on your portable gaming system.

I got to hand it to Sony.. If they can get the majority of the PS4 games, and bring Borderlands 2 to the PSVita, and make them actually enjoyable?  They have struck it gold!

Battlefield 4 on the Next Gen Systems

Coming right out of GamesCom 2013, Electronic Arts and DICE unveiled another BF4 map, titled “Paracel Storm”. Sporting 60 silky frames a second, the game bleeds color on your television. Not to thrown in the dynamics of the map changing, and a few weather patterns to boot. This one looks to be one killer of a map to play.

“I see lots of explosions in your future”….

Giving up on The Bridge?

The Bridge on FX
The Bridge on FX

I think I’m about ready to give up on the FX series The Bridge. The overall story is interesting — a Mexican and US cop investigate a body found literally on the border that leads to a wider mystery — but there’s a lot of other stuff that bothers me. The lead US detective has Asperger’s syndrome, which might make her a great detective but the way she behaves there’s no way she’d make it first as a street cop, then progress through the ranks to become a detective in the first place.

But I can suspend my disbelief on that, what I have a harder time with is the killer who seems to be part sorcerer, techno-wizard and stealth-ninja. He’s able to temporarily cut the power to the border crossing to place the body, pull video off an FBI agent’s cell phone, cut off said FBI agents head and place it in a bag within seconds, stake a girl in the desert and broadcast her to the internet but somehow disguise where the camera’s filming from, kill a witness when the police are only feet away…

I get that they want to make the killer this huge threat, but all this gunk makes me think the killer is more Cobra Commander than Ted Bundy.
