Team Fortress 2 is now FREE TO PLAY!

Team Fortress 2 is now FREE TO PLAY! Yes, Now i though i'd be mad, angry, furious, but.... im not... and i know why! free to play... is GOOD! Yes it is, and for all you guys raging thinking its horrible, i'll explain way its not. I also know you guys don't like reading essays, so i'll sum up all the main points of why free-to-play is good!

• More People, Yes, i know for one that there are so many empty servers that i love, now there is more hope for more games with more people!
• More Community, Just what tf2 needed, a bigger community, (i mean it, no sarcasm) i am glad that tf2 will be available to a bigger audience so those people that cant be stuffed to buy it will now see how great it really is
• Benefits for Veterans, People who paided before still get the benefit, i know its just a hat, but knowing how tf2 is now famous for hats, i think its still quite meaningful.
• Still a Good Game, The advantage TF2 now has over other free-to-play games is that other FTP games are made to be FTP, so they arent made with as much effort as a paid game. E.g. Battlefield Free2Play, great series, but 3 maps... come on... So we can still expect quality from this game as the developers will not slack off, i mean, how can they, and game is already out and all we want are awesome updates and that what we're getting!

In my opinion, this free-to-play has a heck of a lot more positives than negatives, but seriously, i dont see any negatives. If your complaining you lost $20... ffs get a job! But still, if you haven't got it. Go get steam, make an account, download tf2, and start playing!!! its that simple.... Now go, stop reading this and GO PLAY TEAM FORTRESS 2! :D

Kinect V Move

Kinect V Move
Unfortunately the motion control fad hasn't gone away L but with more and more games integrating it into them as well as some generally good games that are motion control only so I'm here to see if there may be a future for them.
Move. The less popular of the two is a little like a the Wii. One of the main differences between the Move and the Wii is that the Move has software to predict the movements if it loses connection to the controller. This eradicates those moments where your Wii control looses connection to the sensor just as your hitting a match wining smash in a game of tennis( why you would I don't know but there are some weird people out there). Other things the Move has going for it is its looks. Yes using it has been likened to waggling a glowing multicoloured dildo around but isn't that better then waggling a white brick around?
The Move is also being used just like the Wii with the motion controls being used in similar dancing, fitness and party games. For that alone it isn't worth buying. You might as well buy a will for half the price and put up with the shit graphics.
For the games that implement it a alternative to the controller it either uses waggle like heavy rain or uses it in a gun shaped holder such like in Killzone 3 or Socom. They both seem to work very similarly to the Wii.
I have to say the games that are coming out exclusively for the motion controllers the kinect has the advantage for me. The control is having more games created for it that appeal to me, i.e. Child of Eden. But the downside to it is the implementation into normal games. Because it doesn't have any form of control implementing it into normal games is difficult. This is where the Move excels. It is a lot easier to implement into games in ways just like the Wii. In James bond golden eye you can either use the classic controller or the motion controls and aim like a gun. This can and is one way the Move is being used.
They both have many different advantages and disadvantage. Personally I see the Move to be something that is more for me because it is able to be implemented in games other then party games.
I will try to give some sales figures soon but it is difficult as I can't find recent ones, but when I do I will show you where to find them.
That's all for now guys, have fun play lots and live life gaming

Über Joyduck Update: Exams Finished and E3!!!

Yes, Finally!!!!!!!! i have finished my huge amount of study, exams are over and I’m very confident i did well :) now it’s time to relax and play some games, make some more videos and all that!

I'll need to get round to adding some more videos, don’t worry, they will come eventually! But more onto some news! Although our site is more centred around the best gaming platform of all time and which still is... the PC! But we'll also post some interesting news, especially E3, which i have been missing out on recently, so I’ll sum up some important points

• Moar Battlefield 3 Awesomeness, YES, will be probably the best game this year, in my opinion, as all the Battlefields Ive played are the best War FPS out of all the many ones i have, yes, Battlefield is better than CoD.. wake up :)
• New Nintendo Console, well, so far its smaller, but still impressive, the Wii U. It actually looks good, a nicer way to enjoy the Wii, except this is the same feeling i had for the DS an Wii originally until they got repetitive and boring (to me..), so lets see how Nintendo keeps its hardcore fan base this time rather than its (as PC gamer rightfully said) Nint-infants/oldies...
• Bioshock Infinite is looking even better despite destroying my anticipation of going back to rapture and my favorite villains, the big daddies, although i might end up buying BI for its story and character development, Subject Delta will always have a special place in my hall of fame!
• Elder Scrolls 5, Skyrim, has now lost half of its credibility! That’s right, it has been announced to be made for consoles, and then ported to pc, Smart choice Bethesdasoft , way to go ruin the game for the loyal PC community. Now we'll have to deal with dumbed down textures and graphics whereas if it was made for the PC, it would be so much better... sigh... another one bites the dust..
• Dead Island looks even better with a more story perspective now, especially how its all in First person view... realistic... just the way i like it. But with all these scenes and awesome looking events, it looks like something from half life 2 (scripted cut scenes and events), but i mean is the half life story was amazing single player, and although synergy is an awesome co-op half life 2 mod, it never told the hl2 story as well as single player as its made for single. So looking at dead island and how it seems to take an important story perspective gameplay, how will they ever do this co-op. I only saw one person in the falling lift scene (seen in the trailer), how will they achieve this as a successful co-op game, i look forward to it :)

Well, there’s Joyduck7's spin on E3 for the time been (lol, Bias or not, its still pretty much what’s going on), I’ll try keep up to date on other important announcements soon, (probably Bf3 lol) but still, I’m Back, its official, so get excited!

YAY for June the 7th

E3, the Greatest show on earth is set to start on the 7th of June.
Where our little minds are going to be blown by what we see.

Some of the stand outs are:
·         Something bioshock infinite related.
·         Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 news.
·         Nintendo's new console
·         Warhammer gets a little more awesome with a Space Marine collector's Edition.
·         Our gods at Valve are not going to be there. Valve has announced there will be no demos at this years E3 aww D':
 Unfortunately I won't be able to keep you guys up to date because I have exams for the next 3 weeks but I will do a post E3 wrap up.

Remember: live life and live life gaming.

Nintendo's new "hardcore" console

Finally what we have all may or may not have been waiting for. Nintendo have finally announce that they are making a new HD consolee (yay). Yes the Wii was fun but if i want to go play a game i generally want to go shoot someone in the face, and want the satisfaction of doing it in HD with the accuracy of a mouse and keyboard or ps3 control. I don't want to waggle a inaccurate motion control around and shoot someone with crap visuals. There have been two problems with the Wii. One was the control system and the other is the lack of good third party games. The waggle control system isn't accurate enough to be used for much else other then family games, yes there are some good ones but if you don't want to play a Nintendo classic such as Mario or super smash bros or a kiddie game(yes sometimes they can be fun)  you don't have much of a chose.

Nintendo have said that their new consolee will be directed towards the "Hardcore gamer". The people who don't spend most of their time playing games that are suitable for their children to see. It will be HD, which is a great change to the Wii, one of the reasons there were very few "good" Wii games that appeal to the older audience. Yes graphics isn't the most important thing in a game, but it is important. If you spend too much time focusing on the graphics you get a game like Crysis which looked amazing but sucked ass.

In short what I think they are trying to say is it trying to appeal to xbox, pc and ps3 users. The control hasn't been confirmed. It really depends who you look at, CVG reported that it may include a built in HD screen, other sources say it will be like a standard control with a D pad , two sticks and two triggers. Whatever they do it will be awesome.

But what we really care about is the games. What I really hope is that Nintendo will create some new IP's. Yes we all love Mario, Zelda but I want something new. They all have many games in their series and but do you really want another, wouldn't you rather something new, with new characters, game play and mechanics. Honestly while they are fun I want some new content from Nintendo. They are capable of making some awesome new launch titles.

Whatever Nintendo's new console will be we will find out to some extent at E3(E3's almost here :D) and it will be awesome. They will make a awesome new console that will hopefully be able to finally compete with Sony and Microsoft, hopefully when you buy a game it will be on all platforms not just pc, xbox and ps3. Whatever it is it will be awesome and you will buy it, so start saving now.

My next bit of news hasn't yet been decided but whatever it is will be coming soon . Sorry if this is a little Incoherent I am doing this in a rush.

Remember, Live your life and Live life gaming
