Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 NYC launch party

Last week the TrueGameHeadz crew attended the Tiger Woods PGA tour launch party in NYC. The event was cool and alittle disappointing. I say that because the only time you got to see the man himself, Tiger was when he walked in on the green carpet. And like wise for the others stars that came through, but that wasn’t a big deal. It would’ve been nice if Tiger stepped outta his super private area and waved to the masses or at least said something to the likes of “Thanks for coming by, or check out my game and hope you enjoy it!” cause you know it was for him and his game. Plus the music was ridiculously loud and some point. People thought their ears were gonna burst! Anyways peep the video of the event below…and did Anthony Anderson say “F@#K Tiger Woods????!!

2 free to play mmo’s you probably haven’t heard of…

It offers hotkeys for both health potions and skills. There are five classes to choose from which are Mage, Ninja, Archer, Warrior and Blacksmith. Takes place in the medieval time period. There are different type of battle to choose from which are Stage, Team Death match, Solo Death match, Boss War and my favorite Golem War. In which one must attack the other teams Golem mean while trying to protect yours from the opponents attack.The team that kills the other teams Golem wins the match.

Leveling comes by beating opponents, whether it is by soloing or team effort. You will also receive Gold and bonus points so you can build your character by buying armor, weapons and accessories.

What I like about Rakion is that no matter what level one is, you will be able to compete with other player who may be a higher level that you are. One of the striking features of this game is that as you can summon your inner creature as your rage meter hits critical point. This feature can turn the tide of the game. It doesn’t last long but it can be useful.

If you are looking for a fast paced get in and get out type of game and that is free and fun, I would suggest going to Softnyx website and download your free copy. be warned that this game is bandwidth hog, some servers won’t let you in due the speed of your DSL or Cable.

If you ever played Lineage 2this game is a clone of NCSoft’s MMO. The graphics seem dated and just like its counterpart you grind like there is no tomorrow.

This being an RvR (realm vs. realm) or light vs. dark the quest are rather bland, kill x number of lizards, orcs and oh yes monkeys, OMG no, how has it come to this. Oh well, you can level and get gold faster by doing the quests. The armor and weapons can get very expensive at the shops.Since this is a free to play MMO one can purchase potion to help you level quicker.

Can’t say much about the skilled based system, as you gain points thru each level your character can acquire ever more powerful skills. There are six classes to choose from on the light side, there are the Archer, Ranger, Priest, Defender, Mage and Fighter. The opposing faction has similar classes as well but just with different names Assassin, Oracle, Hunter, Warrior, Pagan and Guardian if you choose the dark side. Not much in terms of character uniqueness, everyone just looks like your clone.

The only time I had fun is when you reach about lvl 15 or so, you go and battle the opposing faction. You will enter the portal where the war is ranging and that is where the fun really lies in this game. You can party with other members of your faction at any time and try to defend the castle. The opposing faction are always trying to attack and ambush you while you are finishing quests.

Since I’ve only played and Elf mage, this review is only based on that particular class of the light faction. I will give a longer review of this game in future posts. If you like RvR then Shaiya has some features that can hold you in the game for a certain amount of time. 1500 vs 1500 , Arena Fights, and Guild Events.

Mega Man 9’s Opening Cinematic

If you didn’t know … the Blue Bomber will be returning to his truly greatest form when “Mega Man 9″ is released in the next couple months. In case you doubted just how good the game is going to be, the opening cinematic showed up today on GameTrailers, and it’s pure, retro-gold. I don’t want to ruin it for you, but it looks like Dr. Wiley is up to his old tricks again, and he apparently has a Swiss Bank account. Go figure.

I’m fairly certain that no one has as high hopes for this game as I do.

15 Years Later I Finally Get To Play The Sega CD

Last night was a pretty big night for me. After 15 long years of waiting I finally got a chance to actually play the first CD based console ever released, the Sega CD. I missed it the first time around, mostly because I was a Super Nintendo kid, however, even if I had a Genesis, I’m certain my parents wouldn’t have bought me the optional add-on that, in all honesty, didn’t really do much except give me a reason to want more games. Last week I decided it was time, and I went all in. Not only did I pick up a Sega CD, but I bought a Sega CDX, the hard-to-find, compact, re-released version of the Sega CD that had a Genesis squished into it, and, it’s basically all I could ever hope for.

I only managed to squeeze in about 15 minutes of “Sonic CD,” last night but they were glorious. While it wasn’t a huge improvement over the Genesis Sonics, I’ve never really had the chance to play Sonic CD, and it felt like an entirely new game to me. And wouldn’t we all like a good, new 2D Sonic right about now?

Since my initial eBay purchase, I’ve managed to pick up a small handful of other games in the last few week or so in preparation for the new addition to the console collection, and I’ve compiled a shortlist of some of the most interesting/important games on the platform. Take a look and let me know if there are any other Sega CD games that I absolutely have to play:

What I’ve Got So Far:
Sonic CD
Mortal Kombat
Ecco the Dolphin
Sega Classics Collection
Heart of the Alien: Out of this World Parts 1 and 2
Flashback
Night Trap
Time Gal
Sewer Shark
Pitfall
Surgical Strike
RDF: Global Conflict
Kids on Site

I’m well aware I’m missing Snatcher, but I’ll need to take a loan out to pick that one up.

Ladies and Gentlemen a real Resident Evil Movie… finally!

The story is set in autumn 2005. Bioterrorists manage to release the T-Virus on a busy US airport. The release of the zombies leads to danger of an outbreak and the terminal is closed off and guarded. It has been confirmed that Paul Mercier and Alyson Court will reprise their roles as Leon and Claire respectively.

At the end of the second trailer, a creature is seen that has many similarities to G, including the trademark Eye on a shoulder. This shows similarities to Resident Evil: Dead Aim, in which Bioterrorists release the T-G virus.

Afro Samurai is back!

Awwwww sh!t, that’s right Afro Samurai is back in an all new movie! Dropping in  january 2009 on Spike tv, this is the sequel to one of the hottest anime on american tv’s to date! I for one can say that I’m excited and can’t wait to see more sword slashing mayhem to some phat RZA beats (it just seems like hip-Hop and anime were meant for each other!). And from the trailer below, it looks like it’ll deliver. Peep the synopsis and phat trailer below.

Unit out…

Spike TV’s critically-acclaimed, funktastic anime series “Afro Samurai” returns with an original movie event set to premiere on the network in January 2009. “Afro Samurai: Resurrection” stars Academy Award®-nominated actor Samuel L. Jackson opposite, Emmy Award®-nominated actress Lucy Liu. Award winning artist The RZA once again provides the original score. “Afro Samurai: Resurrection” is produced by Japanese studio GONZO in association/partnership with GDH K.K. and FUNimation Entertainment.

“Afro Samurai: Resurrection” is based on the original art and story telling of manga artist Takashi Okazaki, of a black samurai’s quest for revenge and justice for his murdered father. Samuel L. Jackson (The Spirit), who also serves as an executive producer, reprises his role as the uncompromising hero, Afro and his motor-mouthed sidekick Ninja Ninja. When his father’s body is stolen from its grave, Afro is forced to pick up his sword and wreak bloody vengeance against an army of deadly foes lead by a sadistic mastermind.

Lucy Liu will give voice to Sio, a beautiful, seductive and sadistic mastermind plotting to destroy Afro Samurai. Liu is the star of several Hollywood blockbuster action-adventure films including Charlie’s Angels and Kill Bill and has joined the cast of the ABC drama “Dirty Sexy Money.” Liu can currently be heard as Master Viper in the animated film Kung Fu Panda.

Additional casting includes Mark Hamill as Bin, Sio’s manservant and protector and Yuri Lowenthal as Kuma, the teddy bear-headed warrior from the original “Afro Samurai” series. Best known as the young hero Luke Skywalker in the original “Star Wars” trilogy, Mark Hamill has had a successful career on Broadway, as a voice actor in both animation and video games and as a comic book creator. Yuri Lowenthal is the voice of Sauske in the hit children’s anime series and cultural phenomenon “Naruto.”

Dead Space: Downfall animated prequel

EA and Starz Media have announced Dead Space Downfall, the feature length animated movie prequel to the upcoming horror game. The release of this DVD and Blu-ray will be around the same time as the games release in October.

Downfall tells the Dead Space story from the end of the comic book series to the beginning of the game, detailing the finding of an alien artifact on a mining colony and its affect on those near it.

Teaser trailer!..Terminator Salvation

Here it is folks, what could possibly be the hottest summer movie of 2009, the first teaser trailer for Terminator Salvation. Now I know you could be saying to yourself, “but the last film sucked monkey balls!!!”. Well for one you, should be happy to know that Christian Bale will be playing the lead role of John Conner. And it’ll take place in the future showcasing the actual events and battles between the last surviving humans and those lovable Skynet robots. The film will be directed by McG (We are Marshalls, Charlie’s Angels). Although he hasn’t quite dropped to many hits, I have faith this will bring the series back from the weakness that was Terminator 3. For now peep the cool teaser below and we’ll keep you updated on the latest!
