Sorry about not getting this to you last night but I was way too busy, in this match-up we have the very game that was given named as the best game of all time and that is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and this game will be taking on the very powerful Wario Land 3.

VS.

Graphics

Wario has amazing graphics for the gameboy color whereas it is kind of a let down for GTA because they came out on the PS2 and the graphics could have been better, and hopefully they are in the next installment.Advantage Wario.

Gameplay

Now in this category both games have recieved high scores on gamespot but in terms of playability GTA is a game that you just want to keep playing and has unlimited stuff to due where as in Wario it is very limited.Advantage GTA.

Value

In this category it's a no brainer that GTA has a markey value especially compared to Wario which is a game that not many people want to play but GTA is a game that you just can't get a nuff of even when your done.Advanatage GTA.

Storyline

This is also a very easy choice especially if you've ever played GTA you would realize that it has one of the best storylines in this tournament, while Wario has a solid story it fails in comparison to GTA.Advantage GTA.

Originality

Even though both games are sequeals I think that I have to give this one to GTA due to the fact that Wario has tooken the pretty much same type as in the first game and put it it the 3rd game, whereas in GTA it may be the same type but they added so much stuff.Advantage GTA.

So there you have it GTA:SA takes out Wario Land 3 with a count of 4-1 and moves onto the next round as the 7th winner.

Ok in todays match-up we feature two games that have done wonders when they first came out, for the N64 we have Perfect Dark and it will be pitting face to face with the fourth game that gamespot gave a perfect ten to and that is Chrono Cross. This should be a very good match-up.

VS.

Graphics

Ok as always its the graphics first and this shouldn't be overly too hard especially since both games were released in 2000 and as again I have played both games and I must say that I am more impressed by the graphics in Perfect than in Chrono, however they both have good graphics but in Perfect they are much more crisp.Advantage Perfect.

Gameplay

This is also a very hard one as well because both games are very well done with the gameplay and don't have alot to learn, once you've picked it up and played it as both games take approx. and hour to learn and are relatively easy to pick up and play once you get the hang of it.Draw.

Value

Now in terms of value this is also a pretty close comparison since both games have a high value but Chrono has a much higher value due to the fact that it is one of the most wanted games ever since its so goood, and is very hard to find whereas Perfect can be found on ebay.Advantage Chrono.

Storyline

This is also very interesting but I would definatly have to go with Chrono just due to the fact that because its a sequal it does something that no other sequeals do and that is be better than the first game, in Perfect it does have an interesting storyline but not like Chrono.Advantage Chrono.

Originality

This is to me a no-brainer considering that Chrono is a sequel to Chrono Trigger it doesn't have much originality especially compared to Perfect which has probably one of the most originalitys in this tournament.Advantage Perfect.

Well that means that we have to due one more comparison since were all tied up at 2-2-1. So lets compare the sound of the two games.

Sound

Unfortunalty for Perfect Dark, Chrono has an amazing sound especially for the PS while Perfect doesn't have a very impressing sound for the N64.Advantage Chrono.

Well after another match-up it is Chrono Cross beating out Perfect Dark 3-2-1 in OT in a closer match than people had expected and until the next match-up I'll see you later.

Alright gamespotters it's time for match-up #5, since I missed last night due to I wasn't today's match-up features another two great games that are both very high rated for there platforms, for the GC it's the great Metroid Prime and for the Sega DreamCast(that's right Dream Cast) it's the great Soul Calibur.

VS.

Graphics

First off lets say that for the DC Soul Calibur had some amazing graphics especially for that type of system and with it not lasting long it really shown, however Metroid has graphics that have people saying that these are possibly the greatest graphics for the GC which is saying something especially since it's been around a while. Advantage Metroid.

Gameplay

This should be a no brainer even though Soul Calibur has a great gameplay it is very hard to pick up and play as it takes close to an hour and a half to learn where as Metroid it is very easy to pick up and shoot and learn quickly.Advantage Metroid.

Value

This is also a no brainer that even though Calibur has no system to run after anymore it still has a higher value than Metroid because it's such a fun game.Advantage Calibur.

Storyline

This is also another no brainer if you've played both games you will realise that Metoid has a fairly well done storyline and Calibur just doesn't have an intreging storyline.Advantage Metroid. 

Originality

Although Calibur has a low level originality since they basically stole there idea from Tekkan 3 they still have made it seem all original, but once again Metroid takes this category due to the fact that it was created to be a one of a kind game and thats just what it is.Advantage Metroid.

So there you have Metroid takes down Soul Calibur with a 4-1 romp and moves onto the next round and it also has a good chance at winning, because really the only thing that held this game back from breaking through was it's sound which was awfully done compared to what it could have been. Anyways hope you guys keep checking in for more match-ups.

I have decided to do another match-up today due to the fact that a viewer of mine(ihateelvis) has made a very good point in which I have decided to change and that is instead of sound I'm going to add in originality, and the first two games two be competing with this new category is God of War for the PS2 and it will be tangling with Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3.

VS.

Graphics

Ok lets start off by saying that these are two games that were both created on the same platforms and the difference in the graphics are so different, even if Pro Skater was made 4 years before GOW, there's no way that even if it was made by the same team as GOW it would even look half as good. Advantage GOW

Gameplay

This is a very interesting choice because GOW has amazing gameplay and is very easy to pick up and play as the learning the game takes 30min to an 1hr but with the puzzles and A.I it can be very difficult on the harder modes but can be also easy if you start to button mash, whereas in Pro Skater the gameplay is at times extremly difficult and not just anyone can pick it up and play it as it takes a good while to learn it. This is a draw.

Value

In this category Pro Skater is a game that takes its value to a whole nether level due to the fact that its the first skateboarding game thats any good, and GOW value has gone down alot due to the fact of it's sequel GOW2, but even with Pro Skater having sequals it still remains as the best skateboarding game. Advantage Pro Skater.

Storyline

I know that this is an unfair category to Pro Skater but it's part of the tournamet and there's no arguement because GOW has what could be one of the most compelling storylines in the tourny. Advantage GOW.

Originality

There is also no question for this category neither because Pro Skater isn't only a sports game but it also had 2 more skateboarding games before it and had no originality, whereas in GOW the originality of this game is absolutly incredable that anyone would ever think of such a game with so much raw talent.Advantage GOW

So there you have GOW wins in a romp 4-0-1 over Pro Skater and sents it home packing, and with this win moves onto the next round as the fourth game to due so.

Well with Zelda and Halo moving onto the next round it's time to decide another game to move on and another game to go home, so today's match-up features two games that are both on the N64 whioch are Goldeneye 007 and Banjo-Tooie, this will be the hardest match-up so far.

VS.

Graphics

This is going to be a tough match-up because both games display very good graphics for the N64 but I think that this one has to be given to Banjo-Tooie due to the fact that it is very well one in this department especially the special effect, 007 could have done ther graphics way better especially with the explosions. Advantage Banjo

Gameplay

This should be a no-brainer even if these games are both evenly matched 007 has a gameplay that is probably by far the best in this tournament, especially due to the fact that they added the multiplay which took this game from amazing to legendary it really shows Banjo what gameplay should be like, as Banjo's gameplay appears to be very sloppy and uncordinated. Advantage 007.

Sound

This is yet another a very intreging match-up because 007 has a great sound that really works with the gameplay, but Banjo has a sound that is one that you could listen to all day long, whereas in 007 you sometimes want to shut of the sound because the music isn't as well done as Banjo but this is also true in Banjo. This is a draw.

Value

The value of these two games are very much different because 007 has a value that will make people go out and buy it just to play along with friends for fun, whereas in Banjo the value is just to go out and buy it for one time then trade it in even if it does have multiplayer it isn't as good as 007. Advantage 007

Storyline

This was probably the hardest at least for me because both storyline were well done but in the end it's Banjo taking it because the story just take you through a wide variety of places, in 007 it's very much the same however the story changes little from the movie, so you already know whats going to happen. Advantage Banjo.

Well how about this it's tie after 5 things at 2-2-1 well this means that to determine the winner I will have to compare the Arificial Intelligene, and in saying this 007 really has no competition is this category because the A.I in this game smokes Banjo in the water because the A.I is almost as if your playing another human being. Advantag 007.

Wow! what a close match-up between these two game with 007 just barely pulling it out 3-2-1 over Banjo-Tooie, and this could possibly be the best match-up in the first round by far, but you never know, it's also just a shame that such a good game has to go home in the first round, but that's how the cookie crumbles. Until next time.

In this second match-up we feature two games that both turned there consoles into a well buying product just to play that game and they are. Halo for the Xbox and the classic Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis.

VS.

Graphics

Ok first off both these games have good graphics in different categories like how Halo has great graphics in 3D and Sonic has great graphics in 2D, and this makes it very difficult to decide which has the better graphics, however since Halo has 3D and Sonic doesn't and they could have had 3D since it was around back then. Advantage Halo.

Gameplay

This was as well very interesting on deciding due to the fact that the Sega contoller has only 5 buttons which makes the gameplay that much more easier to handle, where as the xbox controller has 8 buttons plus the two joysticks that you have to control the movement with, I must say that it makes the game more interesting, and there are little to no impossible movements in Halo whereas in Sonic you are consticted. But Sonic does have a better gameplay set up in terms of it's game type. This is a Draw.

Sound

This is a one sided affair for sure as Halo runs away with this one in a way that makes Sonic look like a amateur game,the sound in Halo really capture the sounds that are happening while playing through the game. I shouldn't have to even begin to put up an arguement for Sonic because Halo blows it out of the water. Advantage Halo.

Value

Now in terms of value this was also a very tuff desicion because Sonic the Hedgehog for the SEGA Genesis is rated very high in terms of value due to the fact that so many people liked it and now that the systems dead it adds to the value more, however Halo is a game that swept the nation and created itself alot of value because of the fan based that it quickly gained and how many people bought the xbox just to play this game, and the value will only to continue to grow, also it's probably rated a higher value now than Sonic. Advantage Halo.

Storyline

This was also a vary one sided battle due to the fact that Halo has a compelling story that last over into 3 games while sonic may last in a couple more games but the story doesn't make you feel has if your in it and you can't get very compelled with it. Advantage Halo.

And there's match-up number 2 history with Halo winning in a romp 4-0-1 and moves itself to the second round, and has a very good chance at winning in this tournament. As for Sonic it's a same that such a revolutionary game goes down in glory, but that's the way that it has to be in The Greatest Game of All Time Tourney.

Finally its time to start the tournament to see what it the greatest game of all time and the first match-up is no slouch as it pits two games that both revolutionised the way the system plays in there respected platforms. This match features the Legend of Zelda Oracina of Time will be taking on Half Life 2 for the PC.

Vs.

Graphics

Ok let's start off by comparing the graphics now instead of seeing which has the better graphics I'm judging by the graphics of the system.First off both of these games have amazing graphics even if you compare them together it's still relatively close and they both put out impress of numbers for there respected platforms, especially if you look at the environments that both games put out which was amazing and in saying that, this desicsion is very hard to say so I think that this first comparison is a draw.

Gameplay

Now in terms of the gameplay which will also include the A.I because they are part of your gameplay and I have to say that Zelda has a far superior Gameplay and definetly better A.I and it really shows while your playing the game as Zelda is a nice smooth gameplay with HL2 is much more choppy and slow especially when your fighting the main bosses or bad guys it was very well done in Zelda but not so much in HL2. Advantage Zelda by far.

Sound

The sound in both games are also very well done but Zelda has once again came through with a masterful sounding and a way better sound switching from good music to dark, but so has HL2 the sound is very well done as well especially with the gun sound and monsters screaming it was also well done, even the voice acting is amazing in it. This is also a draw.

Value

The value of these two games is a blow out for Zelda because even if you beat the game it's just like a GTA game in that you can pick it back up any time and play it and still get that wow factor, whereas in HL2 the game really loses it's value after you play it once through and be like ok this is a very good game but you never want to pick it up and play the same thing again(although some hardcore HL fans might but other than that there is noone). Also the value for Zelda is increasingly getting higher while HL2 isn't going anywhere. Advantage Zelda.

Storyline

This should be a no-brainer to anyone who has played both of these games or even one for that matter because Zelda absolutely blows HL2 out of the water with a storyline that is appealing to everyone and makes you feel as if your in the game and you really get into the story, now HL2 has a very poor storyline that doesn't make you feel as if your in the game or make it seem as very appealing to everyone as Zelda does. Advantage Zelda

So there you have it the first match-up of the Greatest game is complete with Zelda winning 3-0-2 and blowin HL2 out of the water in the first match-up and moves onto the next round.

Finally my computer is working and it's about damn time. This week I promised you guys some stuff and didn't deliver because my computer was all messed up and I took it into the shop on Thursday and finally got it back today and just hooked it up. Anyways this week I have been playing a bit of Fight Night Round 2, reading a book series called Dragonlance which is an awesome series so far I'm still reading the first book and it's great. Also I want to talk about some sports and will make match-up in the next blog. Oh and also want to talk about my amateur boxing record.

So let's start of with Fight Night Round 2 which I have been playing alot since the fight between Floyd Maywheather and Oscar De La Hoya last Staurday Night in which Maywheather won by split decision, hich is awesome. Anyways back to the game I have started a career in my game and have a record of 33-0-0 with 27ko in hard mode. And this game is awesome and I love it and once I get more money I will go out and but Round 3.

Now since were on the subject of boxing I have improved my amateur record to 5-0 with all 3 coming by TKO, 1 coming from KO and the other by doctor stoppage. All in all I think I'm doing very well and I'm entering a tournament on May 18th and hopefully I win it because if I do my trainer thinks I'll be ready for some really harder fights not this underground fighting which I still enjoy but the fight winnings aren't that much.

 That's me in the blue, coming over the top with a left.

Now onto this book that I'm reading called Dragons of Autumn Twilight from the series Dragonlance, and it's a good book so far and I'm really liking it and the funny thing is, is that I really never read books and I started reading this book when my cousin said that it was awesome and I must say he's right so far.

Now I hope that you check into the second part of this episode because I'll have the very first match-up of the greatest game of all time which will feature from the N64 The Legend of Zelda Oracina of Time facing off against the game from the PC Half Life 2, please post you comments.

Well gamers I made it to number 10 which is quite of an achievement if you think about it since that means that it was ten weeks ago tonight when I started this series, which is turning out okay and with me adding more stuff that I'll be doin throughout the week it makes it better.There are quite a few things that I will be talking about this week and also I have a very huge annoucement which will come at the end of this blog.

So let's start off with the movie that everyone is talking about and that's Spiderman 3, which came out yesterday May the 4th. In the third installment in the fantastic series this movie in my opinion was far better than the first two, and since I do reviews of movies every Wednesday night this is the movie that you can expect me to be reviewing. I also would like to recommend that if you didn't go watch it yesterday or tonight I'd like to know what your waiting for because this movie is the best in the series so far.

Next let's move onto the subject of sports which I will also be doing every Monday night in going around the world of sports and letting you know what is going on in the sports world, it will be called "Sports Bar" so look forward to that. Anyways last night Vancouver was eliminated from the playoffs by the Ducks which kinda sucks because they were Canadian but hey go San Jose since I don't count Ottawa as Canadian because I hate them so much. Also in the UFC Keith Jardine and Chris Leben were added to the UFC 71 card for the first time since last December that card also features UFC champ Chuck Liddell taking on Quinton Jackson.Now speaking of fighting sports one of the biggest boxing events is going down tonight when Oscar De La Hoya takes on Floyd Maywheater in what could be one of the best fights in boxing history.In the baseball world Cleveland is sitting pretty good with a record of 17-9 which is good enough to lead the American league Central. Also in Baseball today the great Barry Bonds hit career homer 744 putting him back by 11 HR's to tie Hank Aaron for the all-time HR's leader.

Now in relation to gaming news I haven't been playing very many games this past week even though it was Retro Revival Week I just didn't really feel like it. So in the gaming department it's been pretty boring.

Now for my huge annoucement now there are two honors that I'm doing this for one is RRW and the other is for the score 64 which is trying to name the greatest sports highlight of all-time well I've decided to combine the two and pick 64 games that I know are deserving of being in there and write a comparison each week on different match-ups and you will get to pick which is the winner, and I will stop taking picks the day before the next match-up, so I've decided to start this every Friday Night and by this week I will have the 64 games and if you have any suggestions for games pleaselet me know in this blog, also I won't be making un fair match-ups as I will be drawing from a hat to see what the newt weeks match-up should be or if you guys leave your comment for the winner of the first match-up you could just tell me a match-up that you would like to see in the first round out of the games listed and I'll try to make it happen. So I really hope you check it out. And I hope that you agree with my picks.

First off let me say that this is the 6th installment in one of the greatest series of all-time in Rocky.

It's true yes it's true "The Italian Stallion" Rocky Balboa serves up another classic knockout just as he did in the first five Rocky movies. He did so well in this movie that it's getting a rating of an 8 all over the world, even people who don't like Rocky still go out and watch this movie. The story is that Rocky who is still played by one of the greatest actors of all time starts in the movie back in the heart of Philadalphia with all his richest invested in a restaurant that is in honor of his dead wife Adrian. He also is disrecarded by his son who is trying to make a name for himself in the business world and wants little to do with him. Then while at his restarurant he sees that he is matched up with Mason Dixon in a virtual fight, so then Mason Dixon gets angry with this after he sees that Rocky wins by KO he wants a fight with Rocky. So with good friend Paulie at his side and a new champ who is destroying everyone in his path in Mason "The Lion" Dixon who is played by Evander Holyfield. Rocky decides that he wants to fight him and go out and take all of his anger out on the new champ and thats just what he does to him. With a twelve round war the fight really gets good and Mason doesn't know what to do against a far superior adversary. And this movie is done very well done and in my books gets a 8.1/10
