Hey, what's up everyone?

This little blog entry is more for my own weird amusement because it's slow boring day around the house.

If you want to comment on my choices, feel free.

These are the games that helped define it's respective console, in my personal opinion. These are the games that drove a good majority of people to buy that particular console, or at least personally influenced me and people I saw around me with them.

Got an invite to the New GameSpot Beta, as I'm sure many of you did. Checking out the new GameSpot. Just setting up my new profile and looking around.

I see a lot of bugs, still, hopefully those will be ironed out as the beta goes on.

Speaking of bugs, I can't seem to be able to pick an avatar image. Whether in FireFox or in Internet Explorer, whenever I click the choose an avatar image button in my profile settings, nothing pops up.

The "Games List" section is now called "Stacks". That's buggy too, as it will never save anything I add to it.

So we're really not off to a good start. Did anyone at GameSpot even check this stuff before launching the Beta? I understand that's what Betas are for, to find bugs and iron things out. But these are plain-as-day bugs that anyone should have caught even before the Beta.

I also don't see my favorite forum, Legacy Platforms. :(

I recently finished 2 WWE Wrestling games for the XBox 360.

WWE '13 for XBox 360

FANTASTIC wrestling game. I could be a little biased since The Attitude Era is my favorite WWF/E era. But that was, BY FAR, the highlight of this game.

The storyline follows the birth of the WWF Attitude Era. Starting with the birth and formation of D-X, followed by the Austin Era, then the rise of The Rock, and then the Brothers of Destruction (Undertaker and Kane), followed by the many faces of Mick Foley, and finally the lead up to and the actual WrestleMania XV. After you beat all that, you then unlock a sort of "middle-card" storyline of the time right after WM XV. There is also a sort of "be the booker" mode called My WWE Universe. It looks neat, but also VERY detailed and in-depth; so it'll be something I'll have to come back to because I've had my wrestling game fill for the moment.

What's great, is the game gives great detail and background on this history and these matches, including video. So if you want to relive The Attitude Era, this is a fantastic way to do so. And, actually, it's better than the recent "Attitude Era" DVD WWE recently put out (which is a shame).

The controls are bit button-mashy, which I've seen complaints about online, but it's not that bad. You get used to it, real fast. I mean, it's not like it's WWE: Legends of WrestleMania; which brings me too...

WWE: Legends of WrestleMania for XBox 360

The game recreates matches and storylines from WrestleMania I thought XV. There are 3 ways you can play them: Relive (recreate), Rewrite (change history), Redefine (whatever you want, as long as you win the match). I played through all 3. There is also a "climb the ranks" sort of deal, like the old PS1/N64 wrestling games, called "Legend Killer", but you have to use a created wrestler, not an actual roster wrestler. I played through it, I didn't play through all 60+ opponent, but just short of that I earned all the medals/trophies.

What I loved about the game was the fan-service. The history they put in the game including video shorts that would show actual video of the build-up to matches, and of the actual match-highlights before you'd play the match. Not quite as well done as the WWE '13 highlights, but still good. The roster of classic WWF wrestlers was great, too, including alternate costumes. And lots of different match types and areans to battle in.

What I hated was the controls. A button-mashing mess. People complain about WWE '13 being too button-mashy, it's got nothing on Legends of WrestleMania. I was practically slapping the action-buttons on my XBox 360 controller half the time. It really makes your hand tired after long-play sessions.

I also recently finished

Golden Sun and GS: Lost Age on GBA

VERY highly recommended for traditional JRPG fans. Very cool game that is pretty addictive and both come together to tell one epic tale. It also uses a lot of Zelda-like puzzles, which keeps the game from becoming your normal JRPG grind-fest. And it has a large world to explore with lots of secrets to discover and side-quests to be completed.

Get these while they're still affordable. They were Nintendo releases, and Nintendo releases always tend to climb in value.

Halo 3: ODST

A much more character-oriented story than the other event-driven stories in the Halo franchise. A lot of fun and very dramatic. Story is told through a mixture of cutscenes and fallen soldier's personal logs. Very nice graphics. But kind of short.

Halo 4

I went into this, not expecting a whole lot since Bungie stopped making Halo games starting with this one. But luckily, I was pleasantly surprised. It still doesn't surpass Halo: Combat Evolved or Halo 2, but it's a very solid entry in the series and starts an entirely new storyline. New weapons and enemies through-out. And very nice-looking graphics. But it's missing that classic, rocking Halo soundtrack; and the replacement, while still good, just isn't quite as good as the original masterpiece.

Halo: Combat Evolved: Anniversary Edition

Very slick graphics added to an already amazing game. That's really all there is to say about this. If you've played Halo: Combat Evolved on the Original XBox or via XBox Live Download, then you know what to expect here; it just has a pretty, shiny new coat of paint on it. And a neat little feature is that you can switch back to the original XBox graphics at any time during gameplay, if you'd like. The real benefit is that the original game's maps are now available for online mulitplayer via consoles (the original game was not XBox Live Enabled until Halo 2; only the PC owners got to play the original maps online).

DuckTales Remastered for XBox Live Arcade

So much fun! I loved the added content, the voice-overs, and new renditions of the music. And the controls were spot-on, something I feared for before playing it. And dang is that chase sequence hard at the end. A lot harder than a simple rope climb like in the first one. A lot more attention to detail in this one, than the original, as well.

It's totally worth playing through both the original and this remake. They really do feel like 2 totally different games in the same franchise, even though many areas are very familiar.

I want to see a lot more remastered 2D classics like this!

I also just started playing this on my PC today, just because I was bored, and was VERY pleasantly surprised:

Tyrian 2000 for PC

Which is an absolutely awesome 2D shoot-em up with upgradable ships (spend points for upgrades), lots of options to upgrade with, great graphics and nice soundtrack, and lots of levels and unlockable bonus levels! And best of all, you can save your game in-between levels.

Highly recommended for shoot-em up fans!

This post is a celebration of all things '80s! I was just a wee lad when the '80s were around, but so many of the things I loved growing up, and I love today as an adult come from the '80s.

Thought this was a good thread topic on the boards, but then thought how long some people's lists would get. So I decided to do a blog on it and see if anyone would indulge my curiosity and give me an estimate on what you think it's worth.

I was curious becuase I know SNES prices have gone up recently. And I wanted to see what my collection would be worth, as whole; if anyone wanted to comment.

I don't have the best SNES collection. The obvious missing pieces being the legendary RPGs the SNES is known for. I just haven't come across any, yet.

Here's what I have, let me know what you think it's all worth as a whole in the comments down below:

• Super Nintendo Model 1 NTSC Console in working order; with official Nintendo A/V cords and official Nintendo power supply
• 1 Official Super Nintendo Controller
• 1 Third-Party "Official SNES" Controller Reproduction
• Game Genie Cheat Device

Games (all cartridge only, unfortunately):

1. Donkey Kong Country
2. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
3. F-Zero
4. Final Fight
5. Gradius III
6. Home Alone
7. Hook
8. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
9. Marvel Super Heroes: War of the Gems
10. Maximum Carnage (Spider-Man & Venom)

I'm sick of them at this site. GameSpot really needs to do something. It's so freaking bad that I'm at the point that I can't post a dang thing without them swarming a thread.

I'm sick and tired of simply making a simple comment, and getting it ripped apart and insulted for it by all these trolls. We can't seem to have a decent conversation on the boards anymore without it devolving into tirades and insults, and it's freaking frustrating as hell!

It's even more frustrating that the mods have this attitude of, "maybe if we ignore them, they'll go away." Guess what? They're not, they're getting worse and more numerous by the day. And then to add insult to injury, many of them add remarks into threads like, "maybe if you guys wouldn't respond to them, they wouldn't do this." Right, slap the hands of the REAL contributors while letting the trolsl run rampant. Excellent job GameSpot. :roll:

I'm at the point where I'm about to leave this site for good, after being a contributing member for years. Someone give me a reason to stay.

Capcom, Konami, and Nintendo. The Nintendo NES Triumvirate.

I've always thought that these 3 game developers were the biggest strength in the NES's game library. If the NES only had games published from these 3 developers, I still would have probably been enamored with it. We would have lost some great titles like Crystalis, Batman, Ninja Gaiden, and Battle of Olympus. But there STILL would have been plenty there to keep me happy.

Yeah, Nintendo is an obvious choice since most first-party developers tend to make great games for their consoles...sue me.

So, here's my top 10 games on the NES from each publisher, and some of the best games in the NES's game library, period:

Capcom:

1. Bionic Commando
2. Duck Tales (A woo hoo!)
3. Mega Man 2
4. Ghosts 'N Goblins
5. Legendary Wings
6. Mega Man 5
7. Duck Tales 2
8. Mighty Final Fight
9. 1943: The Battle of Midway
10. Little Nemo the Dream Master

Konami/Ultra:

1. Contra
2. Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (No, not a mistake, I really liked this one because of the RPG elements.)
3. Gradius
4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game
5. Super C (Contra)
6. Life Force
7. Bucky 'O Hare
8. Monster In My Pocket
9. Castlevania (Still haven't played Castlevania III)
10. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project

Nintendo:

1. The Legend of Zelda
2. Super Mario Bros. 3
3. Super Mario Bros.
4. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
5. Super Mario Bros. 2 (U.S.)
6. Metroid
7. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out
8. Kid Icarus
9. Tetris
10. Duck Hunt

This is a list of games I've completed in my lifetime. I did one a while back. But it's been quite a while, so I thought I'd make an updated one on this lazy Sunday.

I was looking at my game collection list and I noticed I was prety close to completing some collections for a few consoles. When I say "complete", I mean crossing every game off my wishlist for that console. I don't think I'll EVER own a complete game collection for any console.

GameCube:

I know I'm missing a LOT of multiplatform games on the system, and that's because I owned a Dreamcast, a PS2, and an original XBox before I ever owned a GameCube. So I own most multiplatform games on those systems.

Owned:

1. Game Boy Player w/Disc (Every GB/GBA fan needs to own one of these if they have a GameCube)
2. Aquaman: Battle For Atlantis
3. Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
4. The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (I have Twilight Princess on Wii, and I own the original versions of all the games on the Zelda Collection)
5. Geist
6. Metroid: Prime
7. Metroid: Prime 2: Echoes
8. Resident Evil: Zero
9. Resident Evil (Remake)
10. Sonic Gems Collection

13. Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader
14. Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike
15. Super Mario Sunshine
16. Super Smash Bros.: Melee
17. WWE: WrestleMania X-8
18. WWE: Day of Reckoning
19. X2: Wolverine's Revenge

Wishlist:

1. F-Zero GX

3. Skies of Arcadia: Legends
4. Soul Calibur II
5. Tales of Symphonia
6. Wario World
7. WWE: Day of Reckoning 2

Nintendo 64:

Another system where I prefer the multiplatform games on other systems (PS1, Saturn, or Dreamcast) due to me not being all that fond of the N64's controller.

Owned:

1. GameShark Pro

3. 1080 Snowboading
4. Forsaken 64
5. Goldeneye: 007

PS2:

I'm not gonna name how many games I have, because I have just under 100 games on PS2, so I don't want to take up 2 pages listing them, just check my GameSpot Collection Page if you're curious.

Also, I have a lot of multiplatform games on XBox and prefer them on XBox, because their usually the superior port.

I picked up Amon Amarth: Deceiver of the Gods at Best Buy, ordered a couple online, the rest I got in a trade for a couple graphic novels.

Deceiver of the Gods is the best album I've heard this year!
