Ps Vita Coming out Feb 22nd 2012

Ok,So 2012 is here and people can't wait to get there hands on  the new Sony PlayStation (Well at lease i know i can't wait to get my hands on it ! ) And now the release date in the U.S. is next month on the 22nd! The games,the social inactivity,the multiplayer,the connection with the PlayStation 3,The rear and front facing camera,The multitouch pad and more features will be added to this new Playstation Portable device! I will post a video and review when i get it ! I know a lot of people already per-ordered it and some who even have it now ! Lucky winners ! But most of us will have to wait for it's official release date next month.So let's go over an tech and pro of this new exciting portable device.

First off let's talk about price!

• 299$ for the PlayStation Vita with 3G/Wifi provided by AT&T's broadband network.Now that makes online gaming easy,internet connectivity easier and is a plus for AT&T lovers.You'll also have GPS and have social media applications! I think this is probably the coolest update to the Playstation Portable ! You'll also have cross game messaging.
• 250$ for the PlayStation Vita without AT&T's 3G but you will still have Wifi,So if you're not going to go in on playing games outside of a network you have setup at home this might be your best buy! (I'm buying this one) I'm not going to be taking gaming to that extreme yet,Maybe i'll add it later on in the future until the price drops but I'm comfortable with just playing games online at my home,If i do need Wifi i'll just connect to my network at home.

Front and Rear Facing Camera's !

•  Use the front and rear cameras on your PS Vita create amazing augmented reality experiences in your games by transporting your world or yourself into the game.

Six axis Motion sensor

• With PS Vita's motion sensor technology actively engage with the game like never before as you touch, tilt, and steer your PS Vita. Discover the endless ways to manipulate your environment, engage with your characters, and utilize in game tools. 

Than you have the Touchscreen feature!

•  The multi touch display offers new ways to complete challenges and actions alike, all on a stunning 5" OLED screen.

The Rear has a touch pad !

•  The rear multi touch pad gives you greater hand control while freeing up the brilliance of the front OLED screen.

Than you can have Cross play with your PS3

•  With cross platform play you can start playing a game on your PS3 console, pause the game and pick up on PS Vita right where you left off. You can also join in multiplayer games on your PS Vita and play against players on their PS3 consoles.

Stork

From: Rigg
Location: Wesley Cutter INTL

Challenger

From: BJ Barnes
Location: Sierra Point
Subject: Echo target designation: Challenger

Condor

From: BJ Barnes
Location: Sunset Park
Subject: Foxtrot target designation: Condor
Job Description: This one is the big score. STAG’s heavy lifter could make somebody the ultimate gateway vehicle. The Condor is well guarded, but you can find one near their Base in Sunset Park.

So overall I'm still a fan of the Saints Row,The gameplay is good,The weaponry is ok and the action is excellent very fun and entertaining ! baddass game!

Happy NEW Year ! Here's a list of 2012 Upcoming games!

Mass Effect 3This one goes without saying, being the resolution to Commander Shepard’s story arc in the Mass Effect universe, and is the only returning title from my 2011 list. I’ve seen it a couple of times and it’s looking great, with many refinements across the board and a team of guys who are hungry to offer a satisfying curtain call for this part of the Mass Effect story.
Borderlands 2The original cel-shaded Borderlands was a hoot with some key room for improvement, but the reality is that I’m just looking for a whole lot more time with this world. Dual-wielding any weapon, all-new characters and more Claptrap has me not-so-secretly psyched for this title.
BioShock InfiniteAlthough I didn’t loathe BioShock 2 as much as a fair chunk of the gaming community did, I definitely noticed the absence of creative director Ken Levine. I loved the narrative of the original BioShock and look forward to that component more than anything in BioShock Infinite. It also helps that the gameplay looks kinda cool, too.
Assassin’s Creed IIIOkay, so this is somewhat of a controversial choice given my less-than-perfect thoughts on Assassin’s Creed Revelations (I gave it a 7.5), but I have faith that the return to the core Assassin’s Creed series will be a return to form. Hopefully, at the very least, Ubisoft has spent their dollars earned from a yearly release model on a new engine…
Darksiders IIThe original Darksiders was a sleeper hit for me, considering I had basically no knowledge of it until its release. Part Zelda, part God of War, it kept my attention from start to finish and also held the exciting inherent prospect of three potential sequels following the exploits of the other three Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Death, Famine and Pestilence. We’ll get to play as Death in Darksiders II and, as far as I’m concerned, he’s the coolest out of War’s three brothers.
DishonoredFor anyone who read my glowing preview, you’ll understand exactly why this is one of my most anticipated titles of 2012. The early build I saw of it this year blew my socks off, and this genre-blurring action title is surely set to wow audiences later this year. It’s also the only new IP solid enough to knock out my keen anticipation for a collection of sequels and reboots.
Max Payne 3My love of the original Max Payne games surpasses my fear that Rockstar will mistreat the third entry of the IP forged by Remedy Entertainment. Everything I’ve seen to date suggests that the action will be handled well and the setting is certainly interesting, but I’m hoping that Rockstar has cooked up a killer noir story to match the pitch-perfect storytelling of the first two games.
Prey 2While the original Prey had some great ideas but ultimately didn’t grab me, the left-field direction of the sequel captured my interest well ahead of its projected 2012 release. Brink-style free-running combat coupled with a decidedly Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath feel all set in a Blade Runner-type future has my curiosity officially piqued.
Tomb RaiderQuick confession: I’ve never been a fan of the Tomb Raider series. But something about this gritty relaunch of Lady Croft has me very intrigued. Both the cinematic trailer from E3 and the later-released gameplay demo ensured that I’ll be adding this to my 2012 gaming calendar. Hopefully, it’s not all about the quick-time events.
Hitman: AbsolutionI was a bit dubious when the first teaser trailer hit, but the 15-minute gameplay trailer sold me on the new direction for the Hitman series. IO Interactive is promising a “familiar and yet significantly different experience from other Hitman games.” I reckon they’ve got the dev chops to pull this off.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Multiplayer Review

Ok, So i recently bought the new 320 GB PlayStation 3 Bundle,Of course it came with the new Uncharted that i been dying to see in "In-my-hands-action" on Multilayer,So before you even start Multilayer you have to redeem a code and if you bought the game it should've came with a code on the Guidebook pamphlet.If not,You can purchase the code via PlayStation Store,But once you do get into playing Multilayer you can either play your custom player-were you can customize your players skin color,clothes,gear,and even weapons and boosters are something you must have for playing online due to users having a much higher level than you which i think i lot of multilayer functions in games should have better level starting for new players on to the online part of the game,but moving along you'll have plenty of multilayer game mode for you to pick and choose from,Team Deathmatch is my favorite! but to give a list of what modes to choose from there's-Team Deathmatch: Two teams of five square off in head-to-head combat. Three Team Deathmatch: Three teams of two competing in deathmatch. Includes a feature called the "Buddy System" which allows you to spawn on your teammate at any point during the match. Also includes special taunts, like the ability to high-five over a player both of you killed. Free For All: deathmatch won by the last man standing from a field of eight players. Team Objective: Complete the assigned goals. Plunder: Capture the treasure. Hardcore: No Boosters. No Medal Kickbacks. Just your skill. Co-op Arena - Survive the waves of soldiers Co-op Hunter - Two teams of two fight to score three different treasures in three different chests. One team is the Heroes, who try to score as many treasures as possible, and the other is the Villains, who are assisted by AI enemies. The team as the Villains are able to choose classes that mimic AI enemies both physically and with what weapon they use, and the players use medals they obtain to unlock stronger weapon classes to defeat the Heroes. Co-op Adventure - Similar to Co-op Objective in Uncharted 2, Adventure has three players trying to complete a certain goal. Adventure contains co-op aspects, such as capturing treasures, that Objective did not.

You also have co-op online multilayer, So if you have a Friend or family member you can both join in the action together online! Witch is  really cool i think so! I'm on level 16 right now,and it's cool how easy you can upgrade on leveling on this game.

The Truth About Christmas

In this series:

• The Christmas Spirit Is Spreading—Why?
• The Truth About Christmas
• “The Truth Will Set You Free”!

Related topics:

The Christmas Spirit Is SpreadingWHY?

DO YOU look forward to Christmas? Or does its approach fill you with nervous apprehension? Millions of people ask: ‘Whom will I get gifts for? What should I buy? Can I afford it? For how long will I be paying off my debt?’
Despite such concerns, Christmas remains very popular. In fact, the celebration has even spread to non-Christian lands. In Japan most families now celebrate Christmas, not because of its religious significance, but purely as a festive occasion. In China “Santa Claus’s cheery red face is plastered in shop windows in major cities,” says The Wall Street Journal, adding: “Christmas fever is gripping China’s newly rising urban middle class as an excuse to shop, eat and party.”

In many parts of the world, Christmas has been a great boost for local economies. That is especially true of China, which is now “an export powerhouse of plastic trees, tinsel, twinkling lights and other yuletide trinkets,” says the Journal.
Predominantly Muslim lands also promote Christmaslike festivities, although not necessarily on December 25. In Ankara, Turkey, and Beirut, Lebanon, it is not unusual to see shop windows dressed with tinsel-covered evergreens and gift-wrapped packages. In Indonesia, hotels and malls sponsor festive events, and children can dine with Santa or have their picture taken with him.
In Western lands, Christmas is now largely secular and commercial, with many ads “blatantly pitched at children,” said Canada’s Royal Bank Letter. Granted, some people still attend Christmas services at a church. But it is the shopping malls, resonating with carols, that have become the new temples. Why the change? Could the reason be connected with the origin of Christmas? What are its roots?
Before discussing such questions, it would be good to read the Bible accounts on which Christmas Nativity scenes are supposedly based.

WHAT THE GOSPEL WRITERS SAY

The apostle Matthew: “After Jesus had been born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, look! astrologers from eastern parts came to Jerusalem, saying: ‘Where is the one born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when we were in the east, and we have come to do him obeisance.’ At hearing this King Herod was agitated.” So Herod asked “the chief priests . . . where the Christ was to be born.” On learning that it was “in Bethlehem,” Herod told the astrologers: “Go make a careful search for the young child, and when you have found it report back to me.”
“They went their way; and, look! the star they had seen when they were in the east went ahead of them, until it came to a stop above where the young child was. . . . When they went into the house they saw the young child with Mary its mother.” After presenting Jesus with gifts, “they were given divine warning in a dream not to return to Herod, [so] they withdrew to their country by another way.”
“After they had withdrawn, look! Jehovah’s angel appeared in a dream to Joseph, saying: ‘Get up, take the young child and its mother and flee into Egypt . . .’ So he got up and took along the young child and its mother by night and withdrew . . . Then Herod, seeing he had been outwitted by the astrologers, fell into a great rage, and he sent out and had all the boys in Bethlehem and in all its districts done away with, from two years of age and under.”—Matthew 2:1-16.
The disciple Luke: Joseph “went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem, . . . to get registered with Mary . . . While they were there, . . . she gave birth to her son, the firstborn, and she bound him with cloth bands and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the lodging room.”
“There were also in that same country shepherds living out of doors and keeping watches in the night over their flocks. And suddenly Jehovah’s angel stood by them, . . . and they became very fearful. But the angel said to them: ‘Have no fear, for, look! I am declaring to you good news of a great joy that all the people will have, because there was born to you today a Savior, who is Christ the Lord, in David’s city.’” At that the shepherds “went with haste and found Mary as well as Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.”—Luke 2:4-16.
