  Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway - Real experience of war

  Hey guys its been a while since my last blog post , im working a lot and its cosuming all my time, but im back.

  This posting is o talk about teh sequel of, for me, the great WWII game ever made, that will be realese tomorrow!!!

  Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway
  Developer: Gearbox Software
  Publisher: Ubisoft
  Release Date: September 23rd
  Genre: First-Person Shooter

  What to Expect: The Brothers in Arms games have been giving us a different perspective on the normally tired World War II genre for a while now, first introducing us to Matt Baker in Road to Hill 30 and Joe Hartsock in Earned in Blood and then slowly expanding the theatre of war to include actual historical battles. In the case of Hell's Highway, that's painting a semi-accurate picture of the events of Operation Market Garden. Hell's Highway isn't just a next-gen version of the previous games, however; significant attention has been paid to making the gulf between the games and the Band of Brothers mini-series that much smaller, with a heavier cinematic presentation and even more story details.

  For those keeping track, that makes the third proper Brothers in Arms game far more movie-like than previous efforts, and this extends to just about all parts of the game, right down to finally being able to draw a bead on someone and squeeze off a shot without just making them a little freaked out. Hooray for progress!

  MY ADVICE IS TO TRY IT AND EXPERIENCE WHAT A REAL WAR LOOK LIKE!

  Worse than 3RL!!

  After some months without post im come back to tell what happened!

  I own a xbox 360 console as you guys know, and few months ago while playing GTA4, my game freezed, than my console stop to working showing 3 red lights.

  So my world just fell down, i thought that the worse problem that happens with a 360 just happened to me, but for my luck i still has my warranty up and ready to use. I thought with myself, thanks God that microsoft extended the warranty for 3rl up to three years!

  I sent my console to microsoft and start to count days to get it back and restart to play my games but they come with the great news ever. The problem with my console was not 3rl but oxidation!! I leave by the beach and the see breeze and the weather probably broke up my console! But the great news is that my warranty did not cover this kind of issue and worse they could not fix it even if a pay.

  They told me if i realy want to play XBOX 360 games again i would have to buy another console. So as a good Xbox 360 addicted i did it!!! AND IM BACK!!

  So guys this post is more than just a blog post but a warning. If you leave by the beach take double care of your console. When you are not playing keep it envolved in plastic or something like that!!

  Im very happy to came back to blog and hope to keep post interesting stuff to you all.

  See you soon!

  VIDEO GAME does not build Killers!

  Videogame doesn´t change someone in a killer!!
  
  SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Play video games doesn´t change childrens in dangerous and bloody killers, it is what says a new book wrote by 2 researchers of Harvard University at the United States. Lawrence Kutner and Cheryl Olson, research couple ta Harvard Medical School, explained you research in a book called "Grand Theft Childhood: The Surprising Truth About Violent Video Games and What Parents Can Do" , released last moth and that promissed give us a new look about video games and their efect at the kids.
  
  "What i hope that the people understand is that there isn´t information enough to sustain fears that viedeo game cause violence", said Kutner to Reuters. The couple took this conclusion after researching over 2 years with more than 1,2 thousand students about their behaviour while playing video games.
  
  It was a diferent pocedure because they did not use lab experiences like make loud sounds for mesure agression
  
  "What we did rarely has being made by other researcers, we just talked with the kids. Souds like bizare but it never been made before", explained Kutner.
  
  They discovered that play video game is nowadays an activity between people that became a social act.
  
  Kutner e Olson says that they need more time of research to point for sure if violent games create violence or violent people are atracted for violent games.
  
  So after all the research there isn´t a clue that vinculate violence with video games, leaving us with one realy great responsibiliy: We have to keep playing a lot, loving our game friends an game enemys, because its up to us prove that video game is very good for kids and for all the human kind!
