BREAKING NEWS: GRANDAIZA TAKES THE MONTH OF JULY OFF

Lazy ass founder and contributor to the site grandaiza.com John B. takes July off missing out on all sorts of gaming, movie and comic news.

When sources approached the befuddled blogger for a comment regarding the media blackout on the site, he released the following statement:

"I AIN'T POSTING NOTHIN' UNTIL I GET THAT DAMN PHOSPHOROUS POLE IN DEMONS SOULS!!!"

Sources close to the reclusive madman say that he's obsessed with the PS3 game and is terrible at Demon Souls.

Here's a little clip that's always brought me a laugh until we return to our irregularly scheduled website

Enjoy....

Just a Reminder ( STREET FIGHTER 3 Third Strike )

With what many (including yours truly) consider the greatest fighting game of all time due to be released soon, I would like to repost this fun little video reminder of the fact that Third Strike is the pinnacle of fighting game genre for it's almost limitless offensive and defensive options that it offers a player for any given situation.

This clip gives you several examples and ways to counter many of the same bag of tricks that keep players at bay in other iterations of STREET FIGHTER, let's just say that you won't be able to just dragon punch your way to victory.

Enjoy the clip and remember STREET FIGHTER 3 THIRD STRIKE ONLINE should be out this summer on PSN, XBL and I'll be waiting to clean your clocks.

COMIC BOOK MOMENTS : Ratzi bashing at it's finest.

Courtesy of DC's Flashpoint - Frankenstein and the Crusaders of the Unknown.

I tell you man, any mainstream comic that has the Frankenstein monster ending the Nazi menace at the height of WWII gets the GRANDAIZA seal of comic awesomeness.

I love how the "Monster" deals with a caped German unber-man droning on like a run of the mill old school comic book villain.





The following page is also priceless as Fuehrer faces the monsters rage, I love how they have Hitler throwing his arms up in a panic like a bitch, also the SS officers expression as Hitler is put out of his misery is a nice touch.





Fun stuff.

A revealing look at a DARK SOULS E3 video clip.

Here's a nice video courtesy of Youtube/SCRAWLfx from E3 that gives us a little more to work with as far as what's changed and what remained the same. Here are my thoughts and comparison to DEMON SOUL based on whats in the clip.

The demo gives you Six different character builds to choose from, I'm guessing these are based on what attributes you spend your "souls" on like the original game and your not locked into a "type" throughout the entire game.

On the demo level, UNDEAD PARISH, we see the player interact with a bonfire instead of the archway and an option to enhance the bonfire, I'm interested to learn what this does. We also see the player get roasted by a giant red dragon and like in the first game he was able to recover his souls where he died.

It looks like Namco Bandai had a LAN going in their booth allowing players to experiment with leaving messages and invading worlds as black phantoms, I also noticed that your still able to see the "ghosts" of other players while you play.

Now onto what I hope they fix....

Online chat, it only makes sense that you should be able to communicate with a fellow player in your world be it PVP or CO-OP.

There should be a way were people on your friends list are automatically on the same server as you are without having to jump in and out of levels to sync up with people that you wish to play with.

Lighting, I know they want to set a mood but the game is too damn dark on the interior levels.
