Please Disregand this Blog Post

Please... don't bash mefor this blog post. I have to do it for a very important reason. Okay?

(Start Sarcasm)

As SMG won the award for having the most Artistic Graphics, I must say that the Wii's Graphics are amazing. Look at them, they are so cartoony, they look lovely. The XBOX 360's and PS3's graphics look so bad compared to the Wii's. The Wii represent graphics for the future.

My head looks like an egg. It is smooth and has an oval shape. It it eggy, and it broke when SMG won GOTY. I was so......

(MEGA MEGA MEGA MEGA Sarcasm)

Also, barbie is amazing. *smashes head against the monitor*. It is so much more interactive than video games. Video game violence is a crime. It is terrible, why kill people when you can do other games *super sarcasm* I'm so glad that Forza Motorsport 2 was nominated for game of the year over Assassin's Creed. Why not play with dolls instead of killing people and aliens for only fun?

*sarcasm stops*

Damn, I hate doing this. *Sits in corner and cries*. This is not to maky you guys laugh. I'm serous.

What I got for Christmas

I just have to say that this Christmas was awesome to me!

I got an XBOX 360! So far, I love it. The graphics in all the games are great, the profiles are amazing, and so far, the games that I've played are great. I also got the following games:

Assassin's Creed
Madden NFL 08
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
Forza 2: Motorsport
Gun

I've played all of the games except for Gun. I like them all. Assassin's Creed is my favourite so far. The graphics are amazing and the atmosphere is great with a good Third Crusade Storyline, though some of the high-tech things are kind of unneeded and the controls sometimes make it what you want to do different.

I also got Guiness World Records 2008. And the best part of this Christmas was: NO CLOTHES!!

:D

Am A Year Older.

I'm fifteen today. Honestly though, I don't really care much about my birthday. It just shows that my teenage years are getting more and more limited, and I am one year closer to taxes, taxes, work and a few more taxes :cry:. Life sounds so stressing.

I also registered to XFire. My account name if Goliathunit (I couldn't find anything else :roll: ). I already have an hour of gaming with Starcraft :D. If only I had a few more games to play on the internet. Doom, Quake, Unreal Tournament....... :cry:. Anyways, add me if you like.

Also, I likely won't be on for the next few days. I'm going to a few houses in the next couple of days. I'm looking forward to going to my cousins house on Christmas Eve. We will likely be playing Super Smash Bros., Pokemon Stadium 2, Age of Mythology and some other games for hours. If only that could go on XFire.

That would be awesome!!!

Start of Christmas Break

Today was the last day of school until the start of the Christmas break. Christmas is in four days, my birthday is in two. It should be great. I'm not doing anything special, except for going to my cousin's house on Christmas Eve, where we will likely play Super Smash Bros., Mario Party 3 and Pokemon Stadium for hours.

I have decided not to make a profile thanks to you guys. I realized that I wouldn't gain much starting over, and it could set me back a bit.

I have also started to play an old Game Boy game again: Dragon Warrior Monsters. I don't know why, it was just found in my sisters drawer and decided to play it again. Whenever I play this game after a while of not playing it, I get hooked. I don't think it will be easy to find, but if you do find it, I would recommend it 100%. I wrote a review for it over a year ago, but will most certainly rewrite it within the next month.

Also, I may get a 100 games of all time list on the way. It will be a 10 day segment after the New Year if I do it, and I'll try to get seen a lot.

Tough Desicion (please help me)

I am serously debating of what I should do with this profile. For some reason, I have the sudden urge abandon this profile and go off to a fresh new start, creating a new profile.

Why do I want to do this. I'm not sure. I feel that I could improve on my history. I feel that my profile is kind of behind for its age. I've existed since July 24, 2006, but am only level 20, and I'm yet to hit 3000 posts. I just want to improve on that. Also, my reputation is kind of minimal, and get only a few posts in my blog. I do all I can to change that, but nothing seems to be working.

Plus, I feel that it could be fun. I would now have more knowledge of the Gamespot community, so I feel that I can go on to a fast start, and to have an even better profile than before. I think that it would be a great experience, even though some things will be hard to repeat.

However, this is my best profile on the internet, and should I abandon an account that I've worked on for a year and a half? Its a really hard decision, and I need your help. Should I stay or should I go off to a fresh new start? Mind you, I won't let this one rot, I'll come back to this profile occasionally. But it's still a really hard choice.

Random Update

I just felt like writing a new blog for some reason to update random things in life.

It sounds weird, I know, but I played a Grand Theft Auto game for the FIRST time this week. I got Grand Theft Auto III on Sunday and I see what everyone loves about it! It is truly amazing, but now I despise cops with a passion. Thank god for R2 R2 L1 R2 UP DOWN UP DOWN. Saved me so many times :).

Yesterday, our school busses were cancelled. Me and these two other kids were at our bus stop for half an hour, then we just gave up and walked back.

Also, IGN made another list of the top 100 games of all time again. Here is the link if your interested.

I will indeed make my own top 100 list and hopefully put it up here :D.

My GOTY Predictions

As the year 2007 heads to a close, it has been one of the most historic in gaming history with a massive number of games that were so hyped hitting the shelves. The first half of the year was decent, with God of War II being the best game of it, the second half provided a years worth of excellence in gaming. Despite the number of anticipated games being pushed to 2008, namingly Metal Gear Solid 4, Grand Theft Auto IV, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Haze, there still were many other excellent games.

Wait! What?

Based on what I've seen, Jeff got fired for giving Kane and Lynch a 6.0?

This is terrible! Horrible reason! Absolutely horrible! Gamespot reacted too much to this. They had lots of advertising for this, I believe, and when Jeff gave it a 6.0, it looked for nothing and they turned around and fired him. That's just bits and pieces of what I heard.

Gamespot has slid down recently. That's topped off by Jeff's firing. Yes, he flopped a lot of games, most notably Twilight Princess and BioShock, but Jeff did something differently than many other reviewers: voiced his opinion in a unique way. Yes, all the flopping was annoying, but it showed a different view. You can't just look at all of the reviews praising the game.

I don't feel like posting a lot right now, so that's it for now.

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles

The Resident Evil: UC (Wii) review has been released, but managed to only get a rather disappointing rating of 7.0. The review is here. I know it's only a spinoff, so it wouldn't match the quality of the main Resident Evil games, but I thought that it looked like the best RE spinoff to date, so I'm a little disappointed.

REUC Boxcover

The game takes place in 2003, and playing as Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield, you try to finish off Umbrella in an Industrial thing. For the first time, you play a Resident Evil game co-op. The controls are apparently very simple to learn, which is very important in video games, and it sounds great, with gunslinging and puzzles well balanced for a great game.

REUC

However, the review says that one-hit kills are kind of random. What that means, I don't know, but it also says that the music didn't fit in with the atmosphere. That's allI remember, which doesn't seem like strong enough reasons to pull it to a 7.0. Or maybe I just expected too much.
